Liz Lee completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Lee's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- My goal is to focus on supporting our community on St.Paul's Eastside, which is incredibly diverse, and has very diverse needs. This is why I want to work together with our many diverse communities on the Eastside to rebuild it together so that it works for everyone..
- My vision for "rebuilding" the district so that it works of everyone means building new houses, fixing our roads, supporting public transit, and pushing for municipal broadband.
- There's also "soft infrastructure" I want to focus on, which looks like fully funding our public schools, and fully supporting our public health infrastructure.
On the Eastside, our community needs: someone to present answers to the affordable housing crisis; the academic achievement gap that worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic; and to support Eastsiders who want to open businesses in the community. These are all issues I plan to address.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
