As a nurse with over a decade of experience in our healthcare system, I’ve seen firsthand that information is often the most powerful medicine. Whether you are trying to navigate the complexities of Medicare, looking for a safe place to live, or seeking reproductive care, you shouldn't have to fight a mountain of bureaucracy just to find the help you need.I’m running for Congress to be your advocate in Washington, but my commitment to serving the people of Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek, and Apache Junction starts right here at home.

<h2>How to handle donations on your website</h2>Run does not process donations directly on our platform, as is standard with most political and advocacy sites.Campaigns are often required to comply with reporting requirements, donation limits, and other regulations, so using a donation processor that specializes in serving campaigns is generally a good idea. Sign up with a donation processor and then on your Pages sidebar, click the Link icon on the Donate page and add the link to your donation page.

<h3>A Childhood of Struggle, A Lifetime of Resilience</h3>Elizabeth grew up in poverty in Ohio, watching her family struggle to make ends meet while she battled a mysterious illness that doctors couldn't diagnose. For years, she suffered from unexplained symptoms—chronic pain, joint instability, and complications that left her feeling overlooked by the very healthcare system that was supposed to help her.She refused to accept "we don't know" as an answer.Determined to understand her own body and help others facing the same struggles, Elizabeth pursued nursing. It wasn't until she was 37 years old—after becoming a registered nurse herself—that she finally cracked the code. She had Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), a genetic connective tissue disorder that had gone undiagnosed her entire life.That experience—of being invisible to a broken system, of having to fight for answers that should have come with compassion—shaped everything about who Elizabeth is today.<h3>Building a Family Against All Odds</h3>Elizabeth's journey to motherhood mirrors the resilience she's shown her entire life. She and her husband Sean became parents through both adoption and IVF. In 2014, they welcomed their daughter through adoption—a beautiful 11-year-old who reminds Elizabeth every day why families deserve support, not judgment.In 2018, after undergoing IVF treatment and the kind of pregnancy&nbsp;complications&nbsp;that Elizabeth had spent her career helping other patients overcome, she gave birth to their son.Elizabeth knows firsthand what it's like to sit in a waiting room, wondering if you'll ever be able to afford the treatment you need. She knows what it's like to face a healthcare system that treats starting a family as a luxury instead of a fundamental human right.That's why she fights so hard for access to care. Because she's been there.<h3>A Nationally Recognized Nurse Expert</h3>For over a decade, Elizabeth has been a driving force in reproductive healthcare. As a Board Certified Patient Advocate (BCPA) and Board Certified Reproductive Health and Infertility Nurse (C-RHI), she's worked at some of the nation's most innovative fertility clinics, helping thousands of patients navigate the complex, overwhelming journey to parenthood.Her expertise isn't just clinical—it's operational. Elizabeth has transformed fertility clinic workflows, expanded financial access to care, and trained countless medical professionals on how to put patients first. She's been featured on Inside Reproductive Health, invited to Capitol Hill by Sen. Tammy Duckworth, Sen. Patty Murray, and others, to lobby for federal IVF protections, and has partnered with national organizations to advance legislation protecting all aspects of reproductive medicine.In 2024, Elizabeth founded The Empowered Choice Coalition, dedicated to patient education and informed decision-making in healthcare, because she believes every patient deserves to understand their options and make choices based on knowledge, not fear.She also served as State Chair for Reproductive Freedom for All Arizona Action Council, building community and fighting to protect reproductive rights in Arizona.<h3>Professional Recognition That Speaks Volumes</h3>Elizabeth is a member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), the Pacific Coast Reproductive Society (PCRS), and RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association. She was also in the Inaugural Class of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine’s Policy Fellowship and continues serving as a mentor to other professionals looking to take their advocacy to the next level.For the last two years, Elizabeth has served as State Captain of the Arizona Delegation for Federal Advocacy Day—organizing, training, and leading national lobbying efforts to expand access to fertility care.&nbsp;Because of these tireless efforts, Elizabeth has been recognized as a national thought leader in expanding access to fertility care.Her colleagues describe her as someone who "operates at the unique intersection of operational efficiency and patient care," always placing patient experiences at the forefront. As one clinic director said, "Elizabeth demonstrates genuine care for her team members and fosters a supportive and collaborative workplace. Her contributions were instrumental in enhancing our organizational performance."<h3>When Healthcare Becomes Personal: The Surgical Accident</h3>Elizabeth's commitment to patient safety and medical transparency became even more personal when she experienced a surgical accident that paralyzed her dominant arm and hand. She worked for over a year to re-learn how to write, eat, and make use of the remaining function in her hand. When it was hard, she doubled down and fought back.Then, after&nbsp;suffering the&nbsp;devastating consequences of an inadequately disclosed black box medication warning, she learned intimately what too many patients learn the hard way: that the healthcare system often fails to protect the people it's supposed to serve.These experiences—being a patient with an undiagnosed genetic disease, surviving medical and surgical errors, fighting for fertility care, navigating a system that often seems designed to say "no"—aren't just part of Elizabeth's biography. They're her credentials.<h3>Why Congress? Why Now?</h3>Elizabeth has spent her entire career advocating for patients one at a time. Now, she's ready to fight for millions.She's watched too many patients ration their insulin because they can't afford it. She's held the hands of too many women who've been told their pregnancy complications don't matter. She's seen too many families choose between paying for healthcare and paying for groceries.And she's done seeing her patients betrayed by politicians who've never had to fight for a diagnosis, never had to choose between treatment and bankruptcy, never had to explain to their parent that the only&nbsp;medicine available to keep them alive is unaffordable.

Top 2026 elections to watch in Arizona

Public education is the backbone of a prosperous society because it is the single greatest investment we make in our collective future. Strong public schools create an informed, skilled workforce, drive economic growth, and ensure that opportunity is not limited by zip code or family income. When we fund and support public education, we are not just educating children, we are strengthening communities, reducing inequality, and building a more stable and innovative society for generations to come.<h2>What Elizabeth Will Do</h2><h5>Fully Fund Public Schools</h5><ul><li>Increase federal education funding to close the gap between wealthy and poor districts</li><li>Ensure every school has updated textbooks, technology, and facilities</li><li>Raise teacher salaries to competitive levels (teachers earn 20% less than similarly educated professionals), eventually moving towards a national minimum teacher salary&nbsp;</li><li>Reduce class sizes for better student outcomes</li><li>Why it matters: Education is the foundation of opportunity. We can't build a strong future on a crumbling foundation. </li></ul><h5>Stop School Privatization and Voucher Schemes</h5><ul><li>Oppose voucher programs that drain money from public schools by partnering with organizations working across the state of Arizona to push a ballot measure to protect public funding for public schools with public accountability</li><li>Protect public education from for-profit takeovers</li><li>Ensure accountability and transparency for all charter schools receiving public dollars</li><li>Why it matters: Public money should strengthen public schools, not subsidize private education for the wealthy. </li></ul>Support English Language Learners (ELL)<ul><li>Increase funding for ELL programs and bilingual education</li><li>Hire more ESL-certified teachers</li><li>Provide resources for immigrant and refugee students</li><li>Why it matters: In AZ-05, many students are learning English while learning everything else. They deserve the support to succeed. </li></ul>Expand Special Education Services<ul><li>Fully fund IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act)</li><li>Reduce special education teacher caseloads</li><li>Provide assistive technology and individualized support</li><li>Why it matters: Every child, regardless of ability, deserves an education that meets their needs. </li></ul>Invest in the Arts and Creative Education<ul><li>Restore federal funding for arts programs in schools</li><li>Support music, theater, visual arts, and creative writing programs</li><li>Why it matters: The arts don't just enrich lives—they teach critical thinking, collaboration, and expression. They help us reject division and celebrate our shared humanity. </li></ul>Make Higher Education Affordable<ul><li>Expand Pell Grants and federal student aid</li><li>Support tuition-free community college</li><li>Address the student loan debt crisis</li><li>Increase funding for vocational and technical training</li><li>Why it matters: College shouldn't mean decades of debt. Trade schools and community colleges are pathways to good careers and should be accessible to everyone.</li></ul>

Too many schools are underfunded, overcrowded, and under-resourced. And far too many teachers spend their own money to ensure their classrooms have what they need.Our children deserve better.

FULLY FUNDING PUBLIC EDUCATION

Elizabeth joins Nicole Sandler live on air. "This Could Be the Start of Something Big with Nurse Lee for AZ."

The Nicole Sandler Show

As a nurse, Elizabeth was trained to recognize patterns of harm, intervene early to prevent suffering, and speak up when systems fail the people they are meant to protect. Those same principles apply beyond the bedside. In a world where civilians are increasingly caught in the crossfire of geopolitical conflict, silence is not neutrality, it is abandonment. Elizabeth will bring a clinical, evidence-based lens to foreign policy, one that centers human life, accountability, and the ethical obligation to do no harm.<h2>What Elizabeth Will Do</h2>Stand with Civilians<ul><li>Advocate for civilians trapped in conflict zones, including those in Gaza, Sudan, and Ukraine, who are displaced, denied medical care, or killed in wars they did not choose</li><li>Elevate the voices of healthcare workers and humanitarian organizations operating under extreme conditions</li><li>Push for humanitarian corridors and access to food, water, and medical supplies</li></ul>Why it matters: Civilian protection is not optional. When healthcare systems collapse and basic needs are denied, the consequences are immediate, generational, and irreversible.Condemn Harmful Practices in Conflict<ul><li>Publicly condemn actions that result in mass civilian death, forced displacement, famine, and the destruction of hospitals and infrastructure</li><li>Oppose the use of starvation, siege tactics, and attacks on medical facilities as tools of war</li><li>Support investigations into potential violations of international law</li></ul>Why it matters: Normalizing these practices erodes global standards and puts civilians everywhere at greater risk. Accountability is the first step toward prevention.Support International Humanitarian Law and Diplomacy<ul><li>Advocate for adherence to established frameworks like the Geneva Conventions, which protect civilians and medical personnel in conflict</li><li>Support diplomatic solutions that prioritize de-escalation, ceasefires, and long-term stability</li><li>Promote U.S. leadership in upholding human rights on the global stage</li></ul>Why it matters: Human rights are not conditional. A rules-based international system only works if it is consistently upheld and enforced.Apply Strategic Pressure to Prevent Prolonged Conflict<ul><li>Champion targeted economic and political measures that discourage prolonged warfare and civilian harm</li><li>Reevaluate military aid and partnerships to ensure alignment with human rights standards</li><li>Support transparency in how U.S. resources are used in global conflicts</li></ul>Why it matters: Endless conflict is not inevitable, it is often incentivized. Policy should disrupt those incentives, not reinforce them.Promote Human Rights Through Policy and Oversight<ul><li>Support resolutions and legislation that center civilian protection and humanitarian access</li><li>Strengthen oversight of foreign policy decisions that impact vulnerable populations</li><li>Collaborate with international partners to advance accountability mechanisms</li></ul>Why it matters: Advocacy is care. When policy reflects that truth, it has the power to save lives far beyond our borders.

Elizabeth will advocate for civilians and human rights everywhere, just as she has advocated for her patients.Everyone deserves to live in peace and safety.

INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE

Elizabeth shares how she discovered her own rare disorder: “By the time I became a nurse, I had learned how to read labs and how to connect dots and how to push back the medical gaslighting."

NPR/KJZZ Voices of America Story

Gun violence is a public health crisis that is claiming lives, traumatizing communities, and leaving families to carry unimaginable loss. Elizabeth approaches this issue as a nurse and as a leader who understands that prevention is both possible and necessary. That means advancing evidence-based policies that reduce harm, keeping weapons out of the hands of those who pose a danger to themselves or others, and investing in community-based solutions that address the root causes of violence. Protecting our communities should never come at the expense of responsible gun ownership, but doing nothing is not an option when lives are on the line.<h2>What Elizabeth Will Do</h2><h5>Ensure Universal Background Checks</h5><ul><li>Close the gun show loophole</li><li>Ensure every gun sale includes a background check</li><li>Why it matters: 90% of Americans support this. It's common sense.</li></ul><h5>Promote Red Flag Laws</h5><ul><li>Allow families and law enforcement to temporarily remove guns from individuals in crisis</li><li>Prevent suicides and mass shootings</li><li>Why it matters: Elizabeth has worked in mental health settings. Red flag laws save lives.</li></ul><h5>Ban Assault Weapons and High-Capacity Magazines</h5><ul><li>Weapons of war don't belong in our neighborhoods</li><li>Why it matters: No one needs an AR-15 to hunt deer. But mass shooters use them to kill children.</li></ul><h5>Invest in Mental Health and Violence Prevention</h5><ul><li>Address root causes of gun violence</li><li>Fund community intervention programs</li><li>Why it matters: Prevention works.</li></ul>

Elizabeth is a nurse. She's seen what gun violence does to bodies, families, and communities.Our families deserve common-sense solutions that save lives.

GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION

Water safety is a non-negotiable foundation of public health because every aspect of life depends on access to clean, reliable water. When water systems are contaminated or poorly managed, the consequences are immediate and severe, from infectious disease outbreaks to long-term exposure to toxins that impact neurological development, reproductive health, and chronic disease risk. Ensuring safe drinking water requires strong infrastructure, rigorous regulation, and transparent oversight, especially in rapidly growing communities and underserved areas. Protecting our water is not just environmental policy, it is a direct investment in the health, safety, and economic stability of every family.<h2>What Elizabeth Will Do</h2><h5>Secure Arizona's Water Future</h5><ul><li>Protect Arizona's Colorado River allocations</li><li>Invest in water infrastructure and conservation technology</li><li>Hold corporate mega-farms accountable for unsustainable water use</li><li>Support desalination research and water recycling programs</li><li>Why it matters: Water isn't a political issue—it's survival. Phoenix, Mesa, and Gilbert need long-term water security. </li></ul><h5>Expand Investment in Renewable Energy</h5><ul><li>Support solar, wind, and clean energy development (Arizona gets 300+ days of sunshine—let's use it!)</li><li>Create green jobs in manufacturing and installation</li><li>Provide tax credits for homeowners who install solar panels</li><li>Why it matters: Clean energy = jobs + lower utility bills + a livable planet for my kids' generation and generations to come. </li></ul><h5>Restore the environmental protection agency (EPA)</h5><ul><li>Strengthen environmental regulations</li><li>Protect clean air and water standards</li><li>Hold polluters accountable</li><li>Why it matters: Corporate polluters shouldn't get to poison our communities and walk away. Elizabeth has seen what environmental toxins do to health—she'll fight to protect Arizona families. </li></ul><h5>Address Climate Change with Urgency</h5><ul><li>Rejoin international climate agreements</li><li>Invest in climate resilience and disaster preparedness</li><li>Support communities affected by extreme heat, wildfires, and drought</li><li>Why it matters: Arizona summers are getting hotter and longer. Climate change isn't coming—it's here. We need leaders who will act.</li></ul>

Arizona is currently in the middle of a historic mega-drought. Arizona's future depends on protecting our water. Without water, there is no Arizona.

A functioning democracy depends on free, fair, and accessible elections, and right now those foundations are under real strain. Elizabeth believes that protecting the right to vote is not a partisan issue, it is the bedrock of representative government. That means safeguarding access to the ballot, ensuring election integrity without creating unnecessary barriers, and restoring trust through transparency and accountability. When people can participate fully and confidently in our elections, our government works better, reflects our communities more accurately, and remains accountable to the people it serves.<h2>What Elizabeth Will Do</h2><h5>Expand Voting Access</h5><ul><li>Support early voting and vote-by-mail (which Arizona already does well!)</li><li>Oppose voter ID laws designed to suppress turnout</li><li>Make Election Day a national holiday</li><li>Restore the Voting Rights Act</li><li>Why it matters: Democracy works best when everyone participates. Voting should be easy, safe, and accessible.</li></ul><h5>End Citizens United and Get Big Money Out of Politics</h5><ul><li>Support a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United</li><li>Require transparency in campaign donations</li><li>Limit dark money influence</li><li>Why it matters: Your vote shouldn't be drowned out by billionaire Super PACs.</li></ul><h5>Protect Election Integrity</h5><ul><li>Defend election workers from harassment and threats</li><li>Strengthen cybersecurity for voting systems</li><li>Combat disinformation campaigns</li><li>Why it matters: Elizabeth believes in facts, not conspiracy theories. Elections are decided by voters, not lies.</li></ul>

Elizabeth believes in a democracy where every eligible voter can participate, where elections are free and fair, and where politicians serve the people—not special interests.Every voice deserves to be heard.
