Kimberly Yee Passes on Special Election

State Sen. Kimberly Yee (R) “has decided against running for a Phoenix-area U.S. House seat recently vacated by” former Rep. Trent Franks (R) “and will instead stay in Arizona‘s race for state treasurer. Yee says she was ‘humbled and honored’ by support for a possible congressional campaign but that she remains committed to run for treasurer.” Former state Corporation Commissioner Bob Stump (R), former state Sen. Steve Montenegro (R), and state Sen. Debbie Lesko (R) are already in the race. (AP)
