Scientists and educators are leaving the U.S. in droves. Why? Because the Trump administration has slashed education funding, creating a brain drain —a classic sign of rising autocracy.
That’s why we must rally behind pro-public education candidates with more urgency than ever.
Here in Arizona, we have a critical race on the horizon: State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Multiple Democratic candidates are stepping up to challenge the far-right incumbent, Tom Horne . And now, MAGA extremists are pushing to replace him with someone even more extreme —current State Treasurer Kimberly Yee—because they believe Horne is “too moderate.”
Let’s be clear: Tom Horne is the same person who made PragerU’s conspiracy-laden curriculum part of Arizona’s public education system. The thought of someone even farther to the right leading our schools should terrify anyone who values facts, critical thinking, and honest history.
Unfortunately, this race is often overlooked. It shares the ballot with high-profile races for Governor, Attorney General, and Secretary of State, and many Democratic organizations focus their resources elsewhere.
But not us.
The Maricopa County Democratic Party is laser-focused on this race. We know how much is at stake—and we’re committed to doing the work that others won’t. While national groups chase headlines, we’re fighting to protect public education at its roots.
Friend, will you donate today to help us build a winning organizing plan and elect a Democrat as Superintendent of Public Instruction in 2026? [[link removed]]
Tom Horne had millions behind him last time. To win, it will take all hands on deck.
