Susie Lee Statement on Primary Election Results

Statement

Local education advocate and nonprofit leader Susie Lee released the following statement after her win in tonight's Democratic primary in Nevada's 3rd Congressional District.

"Southern Nevada voters have shown tonight that they want leadership in Washington that delivers real results for working families, like lower health care and prescription drug costs, investments in education and vocational training, and attracting quality jobs that pay the bills," said Lee. "I have spent my career delivering real results, whether it was providing critical services to Las Vegas' homeless population, or addressing the dropout crisis as President of Communities in Schools. I am proud that voters trust me to deliver fresh leadership, and I am grateful to all of the members of our growing grassroots coalition who have made this victory possible. Voters will have a clear choice to make in November, and I know that they will embrace my proven track record of solving problems and improving lives for families in Southern Nevada."

Susie Lee has been endorsed by former Vice President Joe Biden, Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, Rep. Dina Titus, Rep. Jacky Rosen, former Senators Harry Reid and Richard Bryan, Bend the Arc Jewish Action PAC, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, EMILY's List, End Citizens United, Giffords: Courage to Fight Gun Violence, the Human Rights Campaign, the League of Conservation Voters, NARAL Pro-Choice America, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the Sierra Club, the Nevada State AFL-CIO and over a dozen local labor unions, among other local organizations and elected officials. Lee has also been named to the DCCC's Red to Blue program.
