vte :
The 2022 Arizona State Treasurer election took place on November 8, 2022, to elect the State Treasurer of Arizona, concurrently with other federal and state elections. Incumbent Republican Treasurer Kimberly Yee initially ran for governor, but suspended her campaign on January 15, 2022, and ran for re-election as the Republican nominee, defeating the Democratic nominee, State Senator Martín Quezada, by a margin of 11.4%.
Yee's was the largest margin of victory in a contested statewide election in Arizona in 2022, and this was considered one of the few highlights for the Arizona GOP in an otherwise lackluster cycle. Yee was the only Republican to carry Maricopa County in a contested statewide election in 2022.
