The group supported amendments to the Florida Constitution such as the Florida Legislative District Boundaries, Amendment 5 (2010) and the Florida Congressional District Boundaries, Amendment 6 (2010). She became the Florida lead for Know Your Care, an advocacy group supporting Obamacare, in 2011.[2][6][7]

During President Barack Obama's re-election campaign in 2012, Lee worked as a senior advisor for the campaign in Florida. She also managed advocacy campaigns that supported retention of the three justices of the Florida Supreme Court who were up for election in the 2012 Florida judicial elections.[2][8]
