According to Lee, "One of the reasons I decided to run for office is because candidates that were supposed to represent all of the city and its communities weren’t doing their job. I want to be able to respect my community by understanding the issues we’re facing on a daily basis."[6] On August 9, 2016, Fue Lee unseated 20-year incumbent Joe Mullery who was backed by the DFL political establishment including state Senator Foung Hawj, Congressman Keith Ellison, and Governor Mark Dayton,.[7] Lee won the primary election decisively, receiving 55.5% of the vote, to 44.5% for Mullery.[8] His Republican opponent in the November 8, 2016 election was Jessica Newville.[9] Lee was elected on November 8, 2016 [10] receiving 81.3% of the vote.
