This Month's #YourVoiceMatters
Arizona State Senator of District 20, Kimberly Yee
|
|
As API Americans, we have the opportunity to engage and meet those who are rising to the challenge of running for public office. We can show up to ask questions, learn about their platforms and why they want to serve.
During this “Meet and Greet” with APAPA Founder and Chairman, C.C. Yin, we learned a lot about Senator Yee. She is a native of Phoenix, Arizona and one of five candidates running for Arizona State Treasurer. She received two Bachelor’s Degrees: one in Political Science and the other in English from Pepperdine University, and has her Master’s Degree in Public Administration from Arizona State University. They call her an “Arizona Trailblazer” and has recently been selected as one of 25 elected leaders from across the nation to join Governing Institute’s 2018 Women in Government Leadership Class. She was been named one of the nation’s “25 Most Influential Women in State Politics” and has dedicated 22 years in public service. She began her career at the Arizona State Legislator as a senior staffer to the Senate Committee on Education and helped develop and write Arizona state laws to improve and advance the public education system. She also has a background in criminal justice where she provided policy research and paralegal services.
