About
Michelle Lee is the 2020 DFL endorsed candidate for Minnesota's Senate District 11. Despite lucrative career opportunities in the big city the award winning journalist and her husband made a decision early on to build a home in District 11 and raise a family.
Working two jobs they enjoyed the rewards of small town life. Michelle is running for office to make sure the same opportunities are available for future generations choosing to live and prosper in our rural communities.
Lee believe our shared values will be critical in the years ahead as we rebuild systems in a post COVID-19 world. “This pandemic has taken its toll on lives and livelihoods across our nation. Life has changed dramatically and yet, as DFLers we stand committed to rebuild a better Minnesota for everyone. ” She said.
