Hi Friends,

We've just released our new report: Bad Blues 2026.

In it we detail the outrages committed by six Democrats in the House who deserve to be primaried by progressive challengers. One of them is Susie Lee of Nevada's third district. We've pasted her profile into this email below, which you should feel free to share.

You can read the full report here.

Congresswoman Susie Lee from Las Vegas is a member of the corporatist New Democrat Coalition. Pinned to the top of her Twitter page in 2026 is a post from 2024 celebrating the fact that an organization named her the most bipartisan member of Congress — a supposed honor also celebrated on her congressional website — which also celebrates her endorsement by the Republican-oriented U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Lee voted in agreement with the agenda of Donald Trump 34.5% of the time in 2025. She has acted with most Republicans and against most Democrats 22 times when Democrats could have prevailed had they all voted together, 21 times by voting with the Republicans and once by not voting.

Scroll down a bit on her Twitter / X page, and you find a tweet arguing that members of the military at Creech Air Force Base (where drone pilots push buttons to send missiles into people's homes around the world) should have convenient childcare, immediately followed by a tweet that says "Political violence has no place in our country."

The four-term congresswoman has taken in a whopping $2.5 million in her congressional career from pro-Israel groups, including AIPAC. She has supported shipping weapons to Israel during the Gaza slaughter. Thus far in the current election cycle, she has taken in $3,455,070 from all sources, with AIPAC her top organizational funder.

In April 2026, Lee was one of 42 Democrats who joined most Republicans in voting to give President Trump the power to spy on U.S. residents without warrants. In 2025, she was one of 46 Democrats who voted for a bill that empowered Homeland Security agents to kidnap people accused of any crime, even minor ones.

Lee has opposed the dumping of nuclear waste in Nevada, but not the funding of nuclear weapons or the bloated U.S. military budget. In both 2020 and 2021, she voted against amendments to cut 10% from the military budget. She has promoted war propaganda by inflating a nuclear weapons threat from Iran. She has criticized the Iran war because of Trump’s lack of “clear goals” and failure to consult Congress, but she hasn’t emphasized the mass killing or violations of law.

In 2020, according to the Washington Post, Lee "played a role in shaping the Paycheck Protection Plan when she joined other Nevada legislators to urge the Trump administration to make casinos eligible for funds. Excluding casinos from loans, as the SBA had long done, 'unfairly impacts countless small businesses throughout Nevada,' the legislators argued in an April news release. What Lee did not mention is that among the businesses being barred from applying for the funds was her husband’s Las Vegas casino company, Full House Resorts. When the administration complied with Lee’s request and allowed casinos to apply, Full House received two loans totaling $5.6 million, according to securitiesfilings." The Trump administration issued a “waiver" exempting congressmembers from ethics rules to allow these coronavirus SBA loans.

Fortunately, Dr. James Lally, a candidate with a platform dramatically more in support of peace and justice, is challenging Susie Lee in the primary.
