Issue Position: Water

Issue Position

Almost a year after Lee began serving in the Senate, Georgia faced one of the worst water shortages in its history. With a rain deficit 18 inches below average, Lake Lanier, the source of drinking water for three million people and a thriving economic engine, was in jeopardy of dropping below the pipe intake.

As the Senator from Hall County, one of the counties serving as the shoreline for Lanier, Lee took action and stood up to government bureaucrats in Washington. Lee authored and worked to pass legislation aimed at raising the level of Lake Lanier two feet--in effect creating a reservoir without any cost to taxpayers. This is the type of common sense solution we need in Washington.

Once elected, Lee will continue his legacy of fighting for Georgia's rights to Lake Lanier.
