Elected to the United States Senate in 2010, Senator Mike Lee has always been a champion of
constitutional principles and the protection of individual freedoms. With a background in both
law and government, Lee has focused much of his legislative work on fostering competition in
emerging markets, including tech and cryptocurrency, and ensuring that innovation is not stifled
by overregulation. He has become a leading voice on tech and digital policy in the U.S. Senate.
Senator Lee’s early exposure to the U.S. legal system came through his father, Rex E. Lee, who
served as the U.S. Solicitor General. After graduating from Brigham Young University with a
degree in Political Science and a J.D. from BYU Law School, Lee clerked for Supreme Court
Justice Samuel Alito and specialized in appellate and Supreme Court litigation, which provided
him with a deep understanding of how law and government affect society, technology, and
innovation.

As the Ranking Member on the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy,
and Consumer Rights, Lee plays a key role in shaping policy on issues related to big tech,
blockchain, and antitrust enforcement. He also serves on the Energy and Natural Resources
Subcommittee on Public Lands, Forests, and Mining—where he addresses the energy demands
of emerging technologies like blockchain and AI—and the Senate Committee on the Budget,
where he advocates for responsible fiscal policies that support tech-driven growth.
