Kimberly Yee (born February 23, 1974) is an American politician and a Republican member of the Arizona Senate representing District 20 since January 14, 2013. Yee served consecutively in the Arizona State Legislature from January 10, 2011 until January 14, 2013 in the Arizona House of Representatives District 10 seat.
Yee earned her bachelor's degrees in English and political science from Pepperdine University and her MA in public administration from Arizona State University.
Yee worked for California Governors Pete Wilson and Arnold Schwarzenegger. She was then communications director at the office of the State Treasurer of Arizona. Upon the recommendation of Governor Jan Brewer, Yee was appointed by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to replace Republican Rep. Doug Quellan after he was ousted for violating Clean Election Limits.
Yee sponsored a bill that would make it illegal for minors to possess water pipes.
In 2012, Yee introduced HB 2838, a bill that would ban abortions of fetuses over 20 weeks old. While the bill had stalled in committee, Yee used a "strike-everything amendment" to reincarnate the proposed legislation as HB 2036. The bill passed the Arizona House and Senate and was signed into law on April 12, 2012.
In 2014, Yee blocked a study that would examine the treatment of PTSD with medical cannabis. The completion of the study is in question as the lead researcher, Dr. Sue Sisley, has been dismissed.
