Former superintendent Tom Horne leads incumbent Democrat Kathy Hoffman in the race for Arizona superintendent of public instruction.
Both Horne and Hoffman have served as schools superintendent but offered voters starkly different paths for education leadership.
Hoffman steered Arizona schools through the first turbulent years of the COVID-19 pandemic. She has used federal relief funds to bring more counselors to schools and invest in rural broadband access and has promised to expand kindergarten access and mental health resources for students. "We must have elected leaders who view education spending as an investment and not an expense," Hoffman's campaign biography said.
Horne, who is running for his third term as superintendent of public instruction, promises a focus on school discipline, meat-and-potatoes instruction in reading and math, and a hotline to report teachings about race and history that may be problematic. The next superintendent will oversee a school system expected to experience a major funding drop-off when federal relief dollars run out.
Democrat Hobbs supports repealing the new universal school voucher program and putting more public dollars into public schools. Republican Lake wants all education funding tied to students, not schools, which could send even more public money to private schools.
