Councilmember Joshua Lee was first elected to the Lakeville City Council in November of 2018. In Joshua’s first term on City Council, he successfully advocated for and supported:

​

• Financial sustainability policies that continue to lower tax-capacity rates and ensure long-term financial viability

• Industrial, commercial and residential economic strategies that resulted in record-breaking growth and development

• Pandemic responses that provided support and relief to local businesses and nonprofits

• Creating space for community concerns to be heard and responded to, particularly from youth and under-represented community groups

• Investment in public safety personnel, leave policies, mental health support and training facilities that improve staff morale and community safety

​

In November of 2020, Joshua was re-elected to serve on the Council for a second four-year term. He believes serving the community in this capacity is an honor and a privilege and looks forward to building on the relationships he has with Lakeville residents, city staff, business owners and non-profits.
