In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“Free and fair elections are the foundation of our democracy, and Congress has a responsibility to make sure every eligible American can cast a ballot that is counted.”
Elizabeth Lee (Arizona) - Ballotpedia Candidate Connection surveyAug 22, 2025 · Ballotpedia · Ballotpedia · source
“One of the greatest struggles in my life has been my health. For years, I have lived with pain and symptoms that went unexplained, leaving me to navigate a system that too often dismisses patients, especially women, when answers aren't simple. It took persistence, advocacy, and eventually becoming a nurse myself to finally begin piecing together what was happening in my own body. That journey taught me resilience, but it also opened my eyes to how broken our healthcare system truly is.”
Elizabeth Lee (Arizona) - Ballotpedia Candidate Connection surveyAug 22, 2025 · Ballotpedia · Ballotpedia · source
“Career politicians weren't what the founders envisioned. Term limits ensure fresh ideas, prevent power from consolidating in the hands of a few and make Congress more accountable to the people instead of lobbyists. Public service should be about representing the community, not building a lifelong career in Washington.”
Elizabeth Lee (Arizona) - Ballotpedia Candidate Connection surveyAug 22, 2025 · Ballotpedia · Ballotpedia · source
“I am the product of public schools, and I know the power of a strong education system to shape lives and communities. But our state ranks near the bottom in funding, and too often taxpayer dollars are siphoned into private schools that face no transparency or accountability. Every child, regardless of zip code or family income, deserves access to safe classrooms, qualified teachers and the resources they need to succeed. Public dollars belong in public schools, and I will fight in Washington to ensure Arizona invests in its students instead of subsidizing unregulated private institutions.”
Elizabeth Lee (Arizona) - Ballotpedia Candidate Connection surveyAug 22, 2025 · Ballotpedia · Ballotpedia · source
“I know firsthand that healthcare is not a privilege but a human right. I grew up battling a mysterious illness that went undiagnosed for years, and it was only after becoming a nurse that I began to crack my own medical mystery. That experience shaped my life and ignited my determination to fight for every patient who has been overlooked, dismissed or priced out of care. As a board-certified Reproductive Health and Infertility Nurse and a board-certified Patient Advocate, I have stood with families navigating impossible choices between treatment and survival. In Washington I will fight to guarantee that no one is left behind, no child denied care and no family bankrupted for the right to live.”
Elizabeth Lee (Arizona) - Ballotpedia Candidate Connection surveyAug 22, 2025 · Ballotpedia · Ballotpedia · source
“Across this country families are being crushed by a housing crisis that shows no sign of slowing. Rents are skyrocketing, home ownership feels out of reach and even families working two jobs can't keep a roof over their heads.”

“I'm Elizabeth Lee -- a nurse, patient advocate, and mom running to be the first woman to represent Arizona's 5th Congressional District. My life's work has been standing up for families, fighting for better healthcare, and making broken systems work for the people they are supposed to serve. Washington doesn't need more career politicians. It needs leaders who know what it means to fight for every breath, every paycheck, and every ounce of dignity. That's why I'm running, and that's why I'm ready to serve.”
