A Republican battling with Arizona Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs was briefly appointed as acting governor in the middle of political squabbling over a procedure Hobbs used to fill top executive branch decisions.
Arizona Treasurer Kimberly Yee declared on X on Wednesday that the order of succession in Arizona had reached her.
“I have been notified that I will be serving as Acting Governor beginning later this evening until mid-morning tomorrow,” a release posted with her tweet said.

Yee soon brought up an ongoing fight about who should lead Arizona’s numerous departments.
“While I am pleased to step into this role, I will refrain from naming directors to the 13 agencies that currently have vacancies and will not call the Arizona Legislature into session to confirm them. That being said, I do hope when the Governor returns to Arizona, she will promptly name qualified directors to these important state agencies and remove the legal uncertainty that exists for all of the regulatory actions taken by the agencies.
“I expect to see a swift resolution to this matter, so we can get back to getting the work done for Arizona taxpayers. The people of Arizona deserve leaders who follow the rule of law,” she wrote.
According to the Arizona Republic, Hobbs arrived in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday after a trip to Taiwan.
According to the Arizona Capitol Times, Secretary of State Adrian Fontes was set to leave Arizona on Wednesday night, triggering Yee’s tenure as acting governor because Attorney General Kris Mayes is also out of the state.
Yee’s temporary elevation occurred after she refused Hobbs’ appointments. Yee blocked Hobbs from appointing two “executive deputy directors” to the State Board of Investment.
Yee called their status “murky” and said Hobbs was “thumbing her nose at the law.”
Without Senate-confirmed individuals heading agencies “then we really do have some rogue people sitting in top positions, making executive decisions, and who are not elected, for a very long time,” she said.
“We expect Treasurer Yee to stop playing political games,” said Christian Slater, a press aide for Hobbs.
Yee’s action is the result of a series of moves involving individuals selected by Hobbs to serve as directors of several state agencies. Thirteen Hobbs nominees have not been confirmed, with the Committee on Director Nominations in some cases stating that they should not be confirmed.
Although they could serve as interim directors for a year, Hobbs chose a different strategy. She rescinded the nominations and appointed Ben Henderson, the interim director of the Department of Administration, as the interim director of the remaining agencies.
He then appointed “executive deputy directors” to administer the agencies. Under state legislation, such posts do not exist.
The method was exposed by Yee.
“We received legal counsel that this is an area that would not be abiding by the law which requires the director of an agency to sit as members of the board legally,” she said.
Hobbs meddled in the election and STOLE it for the Biden administration and the fascist democrat party. Her “days” should be spent in prison.

This country is going to hell in a handbasket thanks to the liberal lunatics in charge.
I don’t know about you but I am sick and tired of seeing it but also so over funding all this nonsense.
It seems like every company lately is all about shoving the woke agenda down our throats.
Then there is the whole absurdity that is called, “Biden-nomics”
Everyone I know is struggling with inflation in our country.
We all want to save money to feed our families.
Every single one of us is doing our best to make a dollar stretch, but the elites in this world are sinister.
Not only have they caused this global issue with inflation but they also are poisoning our foods that make us all sick.
Oh, but it gets worse.
As conservatives, we want to support American products and companies that align with our values, right?
Every day we are fighting the culture war that is destroying our nation and when we go to the store we are funding it with our dollars.
However, it doesn’t have to be that way and I am so excited to find alternatives.
The only “catch”?
It’s Invite only.
Good thing you know someone that has the invites….(me!).
Yep! I would not make a suggestion if I wasn’t going to hook you up.
If you’d like to find out more and get a FREE personal invite, just go here and tell them SASSY sent you: https://bigboxswitch.com/
It’s the real deal for sure, and since it is invite only and does not run like other corrupt conglomerates they may have the SHUT OFF invites if they grow too fast.
We need to stop sending our dollars to the corporations that hate us and want to see us gone!
Remember the Georgia Guidestones?
They literally told us they wanted to reduce us from 8 billion people on Earth down to only 500 million.
No big deal, right?
Just an elimination of 94% of all people living right now.
And yet we continue to shop at their big stores and send them our money because until now we’ve had little choice.
Well, today that changes.
It’s time to “ditch and switch” and change where you send your dollars each month.
What if I told you instead of sending your money to Jeff Bezos and Costco and Walmart, you could shop at the LAST pro-America, freedom-loving, American designer, manufacturer, and shipper of all the stuff you buy each month?
Oh, and what if I told you the products are BETTER and often CHEAPER?
Yes, for real.
And what if I told you this is the best-kept secret you’ve never heard of before, but that this company has been doing this for the last 37 years?
And their founder was once placed on Barack Hussein Obama’s list of the Top 10 most “Dangerous Conservatives” in America?
(a list I one day hope to make myself!)
All of that is real and I’m so excited to tell you about it and I hope you’ll join the MISSION with me.
Here’s a quick summary of this company that I’m so excited to now be partnered up with on this mission:
Sound good to anyone else?
Me too!
I can get you in, but you can’t just go sign up.
They only want people on the same mission to join and they’re happy to say “no” to the Far-Left Libs!
They’ve been doing it for 37 years, and it works great.
Oh, and did I mention the products are non-toxic and don’t have all the chemicals and crap like Red Dye 40 that all the Big Corporations put in their products to weaken you?
To wear you down?
To make you — and your family — sick?
Because then when you get sick you’ll buy their drugs!
Sorry folks, I don’t play that game and neither does my family.
We’re talking about the LAST all-natural, grass-fed, no-hormones, massive beef cattle ranch in the United States….
Sound good?
We’re talking fluoride-free toothpaste, chemical-free cleaners, and Deet-free mosquito repellant!
What novel concepts, right?
Stop sending your money to these 11 corporations that do NOT have your best interest at heart:
It’s an ILLUSION of choice.
There’s only one pro-American, American-made and manufactured, chemical-free, toxin-free, hormone-free, company left….and I’m teaming up with them to FIGHT BACK!
As I said, it’s Invite Only and the invite is entirely free!
In fact, I’ve assembled a team of patriots who will personally get you invited and signed up….if you want in.
Folks, we don’t have many strongholds left.
This is one.
And I’m all in.
If you’d like to find out more and get a FREE personal invite, just go here: https://bigboxswitch.com/
Tell them Sassy sent you and I promise you will get a personal call or text. If you want an email make sure you use one where one of the team members can get in touch with you.
Don’t freak out when you do.
And make sure you tell them you are interested in the Black Angus beef!
I know I tend to get concerned when I get messages from numbers I don’t recognize, but if you request a Free Invite (Link here: https://bigboxswitch.com/ you WILL have someone from my Inner Circle reach out to you….so be ready!
These are awesome people and I think you’ll love getting a chance to talk with them.
And they’ll help get you all set up.
Who’s with me?
