Lee Zeldin is a family man, soldier, and life-long New Yorker. Today, Lee and his wife Diana are raising their family in the same working class neighborhood where he was raised, and Lee’s twin daughters attend the very same high school he did.

Elected to the New York State Senate in 2010 and Congress in 2014, Lee’s been working hard every day since to keep the promises he made to the hard-working families he represents.

Growing up, Lee’s mom was a public school teacher. His paternal grandparents were teachers as well. Lee has enormous respect for the incredible work our teachers do every day, and knows good teachers want what’s best for their students. That’s why Lee is fighting to give all kids access to a quality education regardless of ethnicity, race, or wealth, ensure no school in New York is advancing critical race theory or any other divisive curriculum that pits students against each other based on skin color or other factors, and protect Gifted and Talented programs and other advanced academics that are being wrongly targeted for removal in the name of equity. From Lee’s opposition to COVID vaccine and mask mandates to his support for apprenticeship training and much more, read about Lee’s Students First plan for education here.
