Arizona’s Anti-BDS Treasurer
As Arizona’s Treasurer, Kimberly Yee safeguards roughly $30 billion in assets and is the steward of Arizona’s $63 billion state budget. During her term, Treasurer Yee has conservatively managed the state’s assets while generating impressive investment returns.
Kimberly Yee is a staunch and effective foe of the BDS campaign against Israel. She divested Arizona’s $143 million investment in Unilever when Ben & Jerry’s, its subsidiary, severed its ice cream sales in Judea and Samaria. Ms. Yee placed Morningstar on Arizona’s list of prohibitive investments due to that company’s subsidiary, Sustainalytics, using antisemitic sources to negatively rate companies transacting business in Israel. Under her watch, Arizona’s investments in Israel bonds surged three-fold.
The following are among the other issues discussed during this dynamic exchange with Treasurer Yee:
- What are the sources of inflows and outflows of the assets that fall under Arizona’s Treasurer’s management?
- Why did Treasurer Yee stand at the forefront of implementing programs in schools to teach students how to manage money?
- Why is the ESG movement detrimental to Arizona’s taxpayers and returns on assets under management?
- What can Arizona’s treasurer do to thwart institutions that deprive access of right-of-center and religious citizens to the financial system?
- What is Kimberly Yee’s stance on Joe Biden's plan to forgive student loans?
- How can Treasurer Yee help protect Arizona’s citizens from the huge surge in IRS agents?
- What policies does Treasurer Yee support to mitigate the rapacious inflation crushing Arizona’s families?
The Honorable Kimberly Yee, Arizona State Treasurer.
