Diane Douglas |
|
|
|
Far-right Republican who served as Arizona
Superintendent of Public Instruction from 2015 to
2019. She was elected on November 4, 2014, edging
out her Democratic opponent, David Garcia, by one
percentage point. Douglas succeeded John Huppenthal,
whom she defeated for the party's nomination in the
Republican primary on August 26, 2014. Immediately
after her election, Douglas faced a recall effort by
voters who claimed that she was not qualified for
the position. The recall effort failed to gather
enough signatures to make the ballot. However, as of
August 2016, Douglas's approval rating was just 16
percent. In 2018, Douglas removed evolution from the
Arizona state education standards. |
