In the wake of the mysterious disappearance and subsequent absence of Governor. Katie Hobbs.

In a release posted on X (formerly Twitter), Arizona Treasurer Kimberly Yee announced that she would be acting as governor for a short time. She said that she was “pleased” to take up the role.

The Republican State Treasurer stated that she would not confirm the 13 agencies with vacancies during her short time as acting Governor and instead wait until the Democratic Governor filled them on her return.

Yee stated in an X message that, “While I’m pleased to take on this role, I won’t name directors for the 13 agencies with vacancies at the moment and I won’t call the Arizona Legislature to session to confirm these appointments.” “That said, I hope that when the Governor returns, she will quickly name qualified directors to these state agencies.”
