Former Green Bay School Board member (D) pleads not guilty to election fraud
Former Green Bay School Board member Kou Lee pleaded not guilty to election fraud and false swearing charges at his March 27 arraignment.
Lee, 48, of Hobart, was elected to the Green Bay School Board in April 2024 and resigned in May 2025 after a Green Bay Press-Gazette investigation raised questions about his eligibility for office. Brown County District Attorney David Lasee opened an investigation into Lee's residency after Brown County Republican Party Chairman Doug Reich submitted a complaint requesting one.
The Press-Gazette investigation showed Lee did not live at the Green Bay address he listed on his declaration of candidacy and campaign finance registration statement. Also, court, property and tax records showed Lee owning a home in Hobart that he claimed on tax records as his primary residence.
Lee was charged Sept. 19 with two felonies: election fraud and false swearing. Election fraud is punishable by up to 3½ years in prison and fines of up to $10,000; false swearing is punishable by up to six years in prison and fines of up to $10,000.
