Former member of the
Arizona House of Representatives and the
Arizona State Senate. He served in the State
House from January 1991 through January
1993. He then served in the State Senate
from January 1993 through January 2001,
representing district 9. The amendment to
the Arizona Constitution which limited
politicians to serving four consecutive
terms in either house was passed in 1992,
preventing Bee from running again in
November 2000. He was succeeded in office by
his brother Timothy. In 2002, Bee was an
unsuccessful candidate in the Republican
primary for Arizona Superintendent of Public
Instruction. Senator Bee then was appointed
Justice of the Peace Bee in 2007. Bee faced
an election challenge from Wesley Kent for
the September 2, 2008 primary and, initially
lost. He took the case to the Arizona
Supreme Court & prevailed. Bee was not
running for reelection in 2018 but abruptly
resigned on Friday 4 August 2018. It was
reported the next week that the early
retirement was likely triggered by a
four-count indictment of filing false
statements on three years' of tax returns
for his business, Bee Line Bus
Transportation. Bee was scheduled for a
change-of-plea hearing on 27 August 2021. |
