Elect Jason J. Lee

Arcadia has been my home for over 17 years. I raised my 2 older daughters here and now I’m raising my youngest with my wife Daisy. I have been provided great opportunities in Arcadia, but my journey hasn’t always been easy.

I came to America more than 30 years ago as a graduate student with practically nothing.

I spent many years studying at several American universities and have therefore been completely indoctrinated in the American way of life. I am well versed in the American jurisprudence as well as Western history, philosophy, literature and the arts,

I received my LL.M. (Master of Laws) degree from the University of Michigan Law School. I have a 2nd LL.M. degree from UCLA School of Law with a specialization in business law – securities regulation track. I earned my Juris Doctor degree from the University of Iowa College of Law and completed a course in negotiation at Harvard University School of Law. I obtained my M.A. in journalism from the University of Alabama and worked for the BBC as a radio program producer based in London, the United Kingdom.

My oldest daughter has since graduated from Johns Hopkins University. My second daughter is a junior in Johns Hopkins University as a pre-med student.

Because part of my education was financed by scholarships which are American taxpayers’ money, I feel I owe a debt to American people. I want to repay that debt by volunteering my time, knowledge and experience on the City Council to help other people succeed in their lives.

I feel the American people have done me a huge favor. I want to return that favor by being a public servant for the residents of Arcadia.
