Betty T. Yee (born October 19, 1957)[1] is an American politician and member of the Democratic Party who served as California State Controller from 2015 to 2023. She previously served as a member of the California Board of Equalization from 2004 to 2015. She won the open seat for Controller in the 2014 election, with 54% of the vote.[2] Yee won reelection in 2018, defeating Republican Konstantinos Roditis in a landslide, and she served as Controller until January 2, 2023.
Yee has served as the Female Vice Chair of the California Democratic Party since May 2021,[3][4][5][6] after defeating party secretary Jenny Bach and Victorville Councilmember Blanca Gómez.[7][8]
In March 2019, Yee announced her intention to run in the 2026 California gubernatorial election.[9] In April 2023, after fellow contender Lieutenant Governor of California Eleni Kounalakis announced her bid for governor, Yee reiterated her plans to run for governor, and formally launched her campaign in March 2024.[10][6][11]
A native of the Parkside district of San Francisco, Yee's parents emigrated from Guangdong Province, China in 1956. She handled the books in her family's neighborhood laundry and dry cleaning business while she grew up.[1]
Originally speaking no English, she spent her grade school years in the San Francisco Unified School District and graduated from Lowell High School before attending the University of California, Berkeley as an undergraduate, attaining a bachelor's degree in sociology. She went on to attend Golden Gate University, from which she earned a master's degree in public administration.
Yee worked for the Legislature and was then Governor Gray Davis's chief deputy director for budget, later saying that "My role was to present all the options possible. Politics came into play. The governor and legislative leaders made decisions that sometimes didn't agree with our recommendations."[1] She then became the Chief Deputy to Board of Equalization member Carole Migden.[12] She was appointed to fill the seat when Migden vacated it after being elected to the state senate.
Yee was elected in her own right to the California Board of Equalization in 2006 from the 1st Board District and was re-elected in 2010.[13] She led the successful effort to force Amazon.com to collect sales taxes on online purchases, the so-called "Amazon tax".[1][14][15]
She ran for California State Controller in the 2014 election to succeed term-limited Democrat incumbent John Chiang, who was elected California State Treasurer.[16] In the nonpartisan blanket primary, Republican Ashley Swearengin, the Mayor of Fresno, and Yee finished first and second, respectively. The third-place finisher, Democratic Speaker of the California State Assembly John Pérez, initially called for a recount in 15 counties after official results showed him trailing Yee by just 481 votes out of over 4 million cast; however, he ultimately conceded to Yee more than a month after the primary.[17][18][19] Swearengin and Yee competed in the general election, which Yee won by 3,810,304 votes (53.97%) to 3,249,668 (46.03%).
As State Controller, Yee sat on the California State Lands Commission. She supports investing in alternative energy and opposes fracking for oil.[1] An advocate of tax reform, she opposes extending Governor Jerry Brown's temporary tax increases, instead proposing to lower the state sales tax and extend it to currently untaxed services.[1]
Yee also serves as Vice President of California Women Lead, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization for women holding or interested in running for political office.[20]
Betty Yee sits on the board of trustees for the State Teachers Retirement System.[21]
In March 2019, Yee, Lieutenant Governor of California Eleni Kounalakis, and California State Treasurer Fiona Ma announced they would run in the 2026 California gubernatorial election.[9] In April 2023, after Kounalakis announced her bid for governor, Yee confirmed her plans to run for governor, though the formal launch would not happen until later in 2023.[10][6] Meanwhile, Ma would instead run for lieutenant governor.[10]
Yee officially announced her campaign on March 27, 2024, with a video highlighting her upbringing as the daughter of immigrants and experience handling the state budget.[11][22]
On July 13, 2018, Yee and her husband, Rabbi Steven B. Jacobs, were involved in a three-car accident in the Posey Tube between Alameda and Oakland. Yee and her husband as well as their driver, a California Highway Patrol officer, were transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The vehicle Yee was riding in was rear-ended by another vehicle and was in turn pushed forward into the vehicle in front of it. The driver of the rear-ending vehicle was suspected to be under the influence of marijuana.[23]

Zaman keemasan budaya Yahudi di Spanyol, yang bertepatan dengan Abad Pertengahan di Eropa, merujuk pada masa di mana kehidupan agama, budaya, dan ekonomi orang Yahudi di Semenanjung Iberia berkembang pesat di bawah pemerintahan Muslim. Karakteristik dan lamanya zaman ini masih diperdebatkan, karena setidaknya ada tiga periode di mana non-Muslim mengalami penindasan. Beberapa sarjana menyebutkan Zaman Keemasan dimulai pada tahun 711-718, saat Muslim menaklukkan Hispania. Yang lain memperkirakanny…
