Conrad Lee is running for reelection to the Bellevue City Council this fall, and it’s my pleasure to lend my support for his campaign. Mr. Lee has been one of the most important mentors in my life since my high school days, and his incredible energy has been contagious even now that I’m away to school at Yale.

I first met Mr. Lee back in 10th grade, and found his contributions to Bellevue incredibly remarkable. He has more enthusiasm to create change than anyone else I’ve ever met, and has really helped empower me and several of my peers who have had the fortune to intern with him to become independent thinkers and problem solvers. I think it’s rare for community leaders to really take the time to guide youth so that they have the tools to succeed, but Mr. Lee really sees his responsibilities to the community as more than just sitting in the conference room. He truly cares for his community and his students — the skills I’ve learned from him are irreplaceable. So please, come out and vote for Conrad Lee this November.
