make our community a more inclusive and welcoming place. Through his 
work, Lee has inspired many others to join in his efforts to support 
the LGBTQ+ community.
  Kevin Lee is the Chair and a Founding Member of the San Diego Queer 
Asian, Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern, and Desi American (QAPIMEDA) 
Coalition. In this capacity, Lee works with his QAPIMEDA leadership 
team to build out programming and a sense of belonging for the LGBTQ+ 
API community in San Diego. Now more than ever it is important that all 
LGBTQ+ members of our community feel welcome and have the support they 
need, and I am grateful for Kevin's work to foster that in our region.
  Kevin Lee also serves as Environmental Impact and Compliance 
Specialist at Dr. Bronner's, a local organic body care and food 
company. In this position, Lee works to advance green initiatives, 
monitors the company's environmental impact, manages environmental 
compliance, and co-chairs the Dr. Bronner's Green Team. As we work to 
combat the climate crisis, companies like Dr. Bronner's must lead the 
way in reducing their environmental footprint and help protect our 
planet for future generations, and I am proud of people like Kevin who 
are doing that work every day.
  Through his work as an environmental rights and LGBTQ+ advocate, 
Kevin has dedicated countless hours to better our community and 
inspired many others to join in his efforts. During Pride Month, I am 
proud to celebrate the exceptional work of individuals like Kevin Lee 
who volunteer their time and contribute to our unique and beautiful 
district. I am so grateful for CA-49 residents who dedicate their lives 
to the betterment of our residents and community, and I am proud to 
honor Kevin Lee as my June Constituent of the Month.
