Yee is a California Assemblyman in the 12th district, which includes San Francisco, California. He was elected in 2002. Yee is the speaker pro tempore of the assembly, making him the second highest ranking Democrat in the State Assembly. Yee holds a Ph. D. in Child Psychology from the University of Hawaii.
Yee is known as a critic of the video game industry, supporting free speech but believing that violent games should be kept out of children's hands at the point of sale. He is, however, a supporter of the video game industry's right to manufacture games that are aimed at a mature or adult market. He is the author of California Assembly Bills 1792 & 1793 which was signed into law on October 7, 2005, which would prohibit the sales of "ultra-violent" games in California to persons under the age of eighteen.
