About Wayne Lee

Wayne sitting at City Council Chambers

I want a Millbrae with a vibrant downtown, with a variety of retails full of shoppers. I want to see clean, up-to-date, public facilities and roads. When visitors come to visit, they should see a modern yet quaint inviting town. But that has not been the case. Streets and sidewalks are cracking. Aged buildings remain unoccupied. Every year staffing and services are cut. It is time to stop the bleeding and start living.

My family and me have lived in Millbrae for more then two decades. We bought three homes between our families. It has been my personal goal to build a safe and sustainable community for my son and family. And so I have served as a Planning Commissioner for than five years and was the Chair. Elected as a President of the PTA. Helped establish the Millbrae Education Foundation as President raising money for our schools. I teach and mentor teens as a Leo adviser (Lions Club for teens). I coach AYSO soccer; chaired Millbrae’s 1st Spring Festival and organized the annual Lunar New Year parade for four years.

If you share my vision, help make it happen.

I respectfully ask for your support and vote.
