Tom Horne is running for an office he previously held for eight years, serving from 2003 to 2011. After that he was elected as Arizona’s Attorney General, but lost a re-election bid amid allegations of campaign finance violations and an FBI investigation that unveiled an extra-marital affair. Seeking public office once more, Horne is running on a platform to fight critical race theory, stop cancel culture and promote patriotism.
