In the State Senate, Lee:

  • Led the successful effort to repeal the MTA Payroll Tax for 80 percent of employers, a job killing tax that was hurting small businesses.
  • Cosponsored the nationโ€™s strongest property tax cap, which became law.
  • Reduced middle-income tax rates in New York to the lowest level in 60 years.
  • Secured the repeal of the Saltwater Fishing License Fee.
  • Created the PFC Joseph Dwyer Veteran Peer Support Program to help our returning veterans cope with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
  • Authored the law to protect our fallen veterans and their families from protests at military burials.

Lee was then elected to the United States Congress in 2014, representing New Yorkโ€™s First Congressional District, and has now won seven consecutive races since 2010 in purple NYC suburban districts, unseating two Democrat incumbents along the way. In Congress, Lee quickly became a leading voice in America on top local, domestic and foreign policy issues:

  • Combating and defeating MS-13 on Long Island, leading the charge in New York and nationally against cashless bail, opposing all efforts to defund, dismantle or abolish police, and providing law enforcement the resources they need to fight gang violence and other crimes in our communities, including bulletproof vests.
  • Securing the repeal of many harmful, job killing regulations, with the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, and many other initiatives, to improve our business climate and grow our economy.
  • Leading the charge to end all COVID mandates.
  • Saving Plum Island, by securing the repeal of a 2008 federal law requiring the island to be sold off to the highest bidder.
  • Delivering a $1.5 billion boost in border security resources, helping to choke off the flow of illegal migration across our borders.
  • Introducing and passing into law his Adult Day Health Care legislation for disabled veterans and opening a new health care clinic for East End veterans.
  • Delivering the Electron Ion Collider โ€œdiscovery machineโ€ to Brookhaven National Lab that will enable advancements in national security, medical and cancer research, astrophysics, and more and create an extensive number of jobs.
  • Advancing his law enforcement bill of rights, which would help ensure that our great law enforcement officers and the people they serve are protected.
  • Championing the expansion of the Dwyer Program nationally, to help all of our nationโ€™s veterans access the resources they need.
  • Securing much needed support of treatment, enforcement, and prevention for those affected by the heroin and opioid abuse crisis.
  • Leading the effort against the fatally flawed Iran Nuclear Deal.
  • Co-authoring a bipartisan resolution (H.Res. 246) that passed the House opposing the anti-Israel and antisemitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement.
