Filed: 2026-05-03T08:21:06.753Z
Source: External LLM via /handoff/congress (attempt #81678)
Resolved official: Susie Lee (entity #11068)
Ingest result: 43 facts · 44 sources · 2 silences · 3 contradictions · 8 voting_records · 5 skipped
Single super-prompt covering every per-official research area in one LLM call: donor mapping, silences, contradictions, telling votes, and constituency baseline. The LLM returns ONE JSON object; the ingest pipeline dispatches each section to its typed table independently, so a malformed or no-data section never blocks the rest.
Now I have all the information needed. Let me compile the final JSON workup for Susie Lee.

The poverty rate is 7.7-11%, and 58.6% own homes with a median property value of $465,700 and median rent of $1,787. Only 34.7% hold a bachelor's degree. The economy is dominated by Accommodation & Food Services (59,029 workers), Health Care (44,860), and Retail Trade (44,034). The district is the ultimate bellwether — it voted for the presidential winner in every election from 2004 to 2020, and Trump carried it in 2024 while Lee held on by 4.2 points. Lee has held this seat since 2019. She is the Battleground Leadership Representative for House Democrats.
