A TEACHER'S VOICE.
A LEADER'S VISION.
THE ONLY EDUCATOR IN THIS RACE.
MEET DR. RUIZ!
Dr. Terry Leyba Ruiz is a mom, an educator with thirty-five years of experience, and the former President of Glendale Community College. She is a third-generation Arizonan, raised in South Phoenix, and is a proud product of Arizona's public schools.
Terry is running to bring an educator's perspective and responsible leadership to the role of Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction because our students, educators, and families deserve a Superintendent they can trust.
WHAT TERRY STANDS FOR
With 35 years of public education experience, Dr. Ruiz will shift the focus back to what matters most: Arizona's students, not political agendas. She'll support every student, partner with families, and uplift educators across the state. Take a look at her pillars for Arizona Student Success:
