Congresswoman Susie Lee, representing Nevada’s 3rd District since 2019, has made significant strides in advocating for environmental conservation and clean energy. Born in Canton, Ohio, and a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, Lee continues to focus on preserving natural sites and promoting sustainable energy sources.
On March 21, 2025, Congresswoman Lee highlighted her early support for the designation of Avi Kwa Ame as a national monument. She stated, "I was the first member of the NV delegation to call on Pres. Biden to designate #AviKwaAme as a national monument." Lee emphasized her commitment to ensuring the site's preservation for future generations.
In another post on the same day, she expressed her advocacy for geothermal energy. She noted its potential as a reliable clean energy source by stating, "Here in Nevada and across the nation, geothermal is a promising and proven 24/7 clean energy source with immense potential for further growth." Lee mentioned her role in leading bipartisan bills aimed at leveraging geothermal energy to reduce costs and protect the environment.
Later that day, Congresswoman Lee addressed concerns regarding hate crimes based on religion. She cited statistics from 2023: "In 2023, there are 2,699 reported hate crimes based on religion. More than half were antisemitic." Highlighting the suspension of Nonprofit Security Grants by the current administration, she announced joining a letter seeking explanations.
