Democrat and incumbent Kathy Hoffman has conceded in the race for Superintendent of Public Instruction against Republican Tom Horne.
"After a hard-fought race, we came up short. I want to thank my supporters, volunteers, and staff who stood by me during this election. And I especially want to thank my family for all of their love and support.
This small margin will likely trigger an automatic recount, which would happen after the election is set to be certified in December. Horne said schools were shut down for far too long at Hoffman’s urging, leading to learning loss for children, job issues for their parents and sagging test scores. Hoffman defended her response, saying that in hindsight she may have made slightly different decision, but not substantially so. She said she never imagined when she was elected in 2018 that she would be making condolence calls to co-workers of teachers who had died of COVID.
Horne's push during his superintendent years for a ban on a Mexican-American studies program taught in Tucson schools led to testy exchanges.by Republicans who were politically motivated and permanently blocked it after a seven-year court battle.
