My guest on this week’s AZ Political Podcast is about as timely as a guest can get: Arizona Treasurer Kimberly Yee sat down with me less than 24 hours after announcing her run to be the state’s next superintendent of public instruction.

Plus, he doesn’t expect it to hurt Democrats’ chances in next year’s election.
