Michelle Lee Launches Campaign For SRV Fire Board

Michelle Lee has long been an advocate for the safety and success of the communities in the San Ramon Valley and seeks to further that commitment through her candidacy for the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District Board.

Determined to emphasize fiscal responsibility and cost-savings without compromising on protection of life and property in the District, Michelle is running on a platform of accountability, preparedness, and collaboration.

“I care deeply for the well-being and safety of our community, and all the friends, family, and neighbors who live here. As a long-time resident of first San Ramon and now Danville, how the district addresses the new challenges of high-intensity wildfires and environmental changes, as well as the district’s financial security during turbulent times is a personal matter and why I’m running for a seat on the SRV Fire Board,” said Lee.

Lee is a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel with 36 years of experience in the United States military. She is currently president of the Dougherty Valley San Ramon Rotary Club Foundation, a board member of the Diablo Valley Veterans Foundation, and is a trained volunteer with the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Community Emergency Response Team.

“My background is well-suited for the kind of complex, high-level decision making required of the SRV Fire Board and my diverse military and civilian leadership experience will bring a fresh perspective to our community public safety organizations,” she emphasized.

“Additionally, I have earned the confidence, endorsements and support from very experienced and highly respected individuals who believe that I am the candidate to effectively maximize the public value of District services for our communities,” added Lee.

Robust partnerships are also a priority of Lee, who said she would actively engage her years of experience in successful joint and combined operations decision-making to build relationships with key stakeholders including local and county governments, agencies, hospitals, schools, and public utilities.

Not only is Lee well-known in the San Ramon Valley for her community service through SRVUSD, Scouting, John Muir, Rotary International, and the American Legion Mt. Diablo Post, she has also received numerous awards and medals and has extensive leadership training.

“I’ve been dedicated to serving my country and my community my whole life and I will work hard to strengthen our Fire Protection District.”
