While not called an OpEdNews editor at the time, Jesse produced a newsletter designed to be printed out and posted at churches, supermarkets, etc., called CommonSense, which included articles published in OpEdNews.com.
After Lee departed from OEN, he became one of the first bloggers for the DCCC-- the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committtee. After the 2006 elections, when the Democratis achieved the majority, he became the New Media director for the Speaker of the House.

Aravosis and others have described Lee as someone who is almost universally liked.

Biden's chief economic adviser. "He gets the Internet and he gets politics, Aravosis said.OpEdNews has not been included in those calls. My educated guess is that our writers have been too hard on the Democrats and the administration. It's too bad loyal critics are excluded.
Amanda Lang, who recently retired due to illness, was OpEdNews.com's first official editor. Joan Brunwasser became our second editor and she's still a senior editor and election integrity editor.
