Jane Dee Hull was elected governor, Betsey Bayless was elected Secretary Of State, Janet Napolitano was elected Attorney General, Carol Springer was elected Treasurer, and Lisa Graham-Keegan was elected Superintendent of Public Instruction. To this day, the Fab Five remain the greatest number of women to serve in a state’s highest elected offices at any given time.
