Steve Yarbrough (R-Giant Sucking Sound) looking to return to the Arizona legislature

I generally don't write about legislative races, but a name that's a blast from the past has formed a committee to run for a seat in the AZ House.

From the website of the Arizona Secretary of State -













Yarbrough is a former president of the state senate.

From the 2018 member roster for the state senate -







I've referred to him as a "Giant Sucking Sound" because of his penchant for benefitting from funds taken from public education and given to private and charter schools, funds laundered through his entity, the Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization (ACSTO).


He's still involved with ACSTO (as his campaign email address indicates), but is no longer the official head of it -he's *just* a director.


From the Arizona Corporation Commission -


















Note: Though his committee formation indicates that it is formed for a run in LD17, I think that he lives in LD12 or 13 now; 17 is his former district designation.  


Since redistricting, LD17 is now a southern AZ district.
