Congresswoman Susie Lee, representing Nevada's 3rd District since 2019, has been active on social media discussing key legislative issues and national observances. Born in Canton, Ohio, and currently residing in Las Vegas, Lee is a Carnegie Mellon University graduate. Her recent tweets address topics ranging from Social Security to veteran suicide prevention and American Education Week.

On November 16, 2024, Congresswoman Susie Lee expressed her support for public servants receiving their full Social Security benefits. She highlighted the House's efforts in passing the Social Security Fairness Act and urged the Senate to take similar action to advance the legislation to the President's desk. "Public servants in southern Nevada and beyond deserve every penny of their Social Security checks. The House has done our job in passing the Social Security Fairness Act — it’s time for the Senate to do the same and get this legislation to the President’s desk."

In a tweet dated November 18, 2024, Lee addressed the issue of veteran suicide rates. She mentioned leading legislation aimed at reducing veteran suicides through effective prevention measures. She also encouraged those in need or aware of someone who needs help to call a designated helpline. "On average, 17 veterans take their own life every day. I’ve led legislation to make that number zero with proven suicide prevention efforts. And on #NationalWarriorDay, remember: if you or someone you know needs help, call 988."

Later on November 18, Lee marked the beginning of American Education Week by urging people to acknowledge educators' contributions in shaping future leaders. She suggested taking this opportunity to thank teachers and other educational professionals during this observance week. "Today marks the beginning of American Education Week...So if you get a chance, let this be a reminder to thank the teachers, counselors, coaches, and any other educator in your life who plays a role in raising our next generation of leaders."
