SCOTTSDALE, Ariz — Arizona voters got a televised look Wednesday night at the two Democrats running to become the state’s next superintendent of public instruction.
Brett Newby and Teresa Leyba Ruiz faced off during a debate hosted by Arizona Clean Elections and the Arizona Media Association in Scottsdale, ahead of a Republican debate scheduled for Thursday night.
Neither candidate is widely known statewide, but one will emerge as the Democratic nominee for Arizona’s top education post in the July 21 primary election.
Newby, a public school graduate and parent, emphasized his personal ties to Arizona’s education system.
