                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. DANIEL S. GOLDMAN

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 28, 2024

  Mr. GOLDMAN of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate 
Pride Month and honor an LGBQTIA+ community leader in New York's Tenth 
District, Jan Lee.
  Jan Lee is a dedicated community organizer, activist, small business 
owner, and lifelong New Yorker. He is a third-generation resident of 
Manhattan's Chinatown and has been organizing his community since the 
1990s, advocating for Chinatown's post-9/11 recovery, the reopening of 
Park Row, and representing the community's interests with regard to the 
borough-based jail.
  For far too long, Manhattan's Chinatown has not received the 
recognition, services and representation that its residents have 
deserved.
  Jan's work has begun to change that. From his community activism to 
helping manage the apartment buildings that have been in his family for 
over 100 years, Jan's commitment to his community is inspiring. I'm 
proud to call Jan a friend and partner as we continue to revitalize 
Chinatown and give the community the attention it deserves.
