Get out your popcorn and watch your wallets: Kimberly Yee is in the race for AZ Superintendent of Public Instruction

Horne gets flanked

The Freedom Caucus slate is almost complete.

Ever since MAGA candidates swept the polls in November, Republican state Sen. Jake Hoffman has been preparing for 2026 by drafting or latching on to Republican candidates to take back the statewide offices the GOP lost in the 2022 midterm election.

Yesterday, Hoffman introduced his newest Freedom-Caucus-backed candidate: Arizona Treasurer Kimberly Yee.

Her angle? Horne is too weak on school vouchers.


On 5/27, she filed a Statement of Interest with the AZSOS.



As of this writing she hasn't formed a new committee/updated an old one for this run.


Yee is looking to unseat Horne in the R primary for Hoffman, who went looking for a viler human being than Horne.

Apparently, he found one in Yee, who has pledged to continue the school voucher grift.

Interestingly, Hoffman, in a tweet on X, referred to the school voucher program as "wildly popular."

From the same article from Arizona Agenda (I'm not on X) -









"Wildly popular"?

Maybe with the people who benefit from the grift.

With the people who pay the freight?

Not so much.
