Serving Long Island

Lee was born and raised on Long Island. In 1998, he signed up for the US Army ROTC program. In 2003, Lee was commissioned onto active duty and, in 2006, he was deployed to Iraq with an infantry battalion of fellow paratroopers from the Army’s elite 82nd Airborne Division. To this day, whether in the Army Reserve, or Congress, he’s never stopped serving Long Island and delivering for our community.

Lee is willing to work with anyone to deliver for Long Island and improve our country. The annual Bipartisan Index of the Lugar Center and Georgetown University recently ranked Lee as the 12th most bipartisan member in the House of Representatives.

When the coronavirus pandemic disrupted nearly every aspect of our lives, Lee worked tirelessly to deliver the resources we needed to protect our community, our most vulnerable, and our essential workers on the front lines each day.

• When Suffolk County’s stockpile of key personal protective equipment (PPE) ran out, Lee jumped into action to secure over a million items of PPE, including masks, gowns, face shields, gloves, and more to protect our first responders and front-line workers
• When funding for critical small business loans ran out, he helped secure a compromise to ensure that billions of dollars in emergency loans and relief could remain available for our families and businesses during their time of need
• When the Chinese Communist Party chose to conceal critical information from the world at the outset of this crisis, Lee called for them to be held accountable and will continue the fight to ensure our country and community are never again forced to rely on a hostile foreign power for essential PPE, ventilators, and medicine

We have a long way to go but Lee has always answered the call to service for our country and community and will continue to deliver for Long Island in Congress. Click below for more information about where Lee stands on other critical issues affecting Long Island:
