Arizona Treasurer Kimberly Yee Announces Bid for Superintendent of Public Instruction
PHOENIX — Arizona Treasurer Kimberly Yee, a Republican, has officially declared her candidacy for the position of Superintendent of Public Instruction in 2026. The announcement came during a press conference on Wednesday, following her filing of a statement of interest the previous night.
