Congresswoman Susie Lee, representing Nevada's 3rd district since 2019, recently took to social media to address several topics of interest. Born in Canton, Ohio, and a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, Lee is currently based in Las Vegas. Her recent posts on X cover issues ranging from Women's History Month to federal education policy and economic tariffs.

On March 3, 2025, Congresswoman Lee commemorated Women's History Month by highlighting Hattie Canty, the former president of Culinary Workers Union Local 226. She wrote about Canty's leadership during the union's longest successful strike against the Frontier Hotel from 1991 to 1998. "550 workers went on strike against Frontier Hotel, and not a single one of them crossed the picket line…"

In a subsequent post dated March 4, 2025, Lee expressed concern over the Senate's confirmation of Linda McMahon. She pointed out McMahon's alignment with President Trump's stance on abolishing the Department of Education and highlighted its potential impact on special education programs. "Nevada students and families rely on federal resources to succeed. They deserve better."

Later that day, Congresswoman Lee commented on recent economic developments involving tariffs implemented under President Trump’s administration. In her post from March 4, she emphasized the cost implications for consumers as more tariffs were set into effect overnight. "Just re-upping this since more of Trump’s tariffs to raise your costs went into effect last night"
