Embattled state Attorney General Tom Horne could have to fend off a bid to keep him from getting his own party's nomination for reelection.

Tom Horne caused more than $1,000 worth of damage to another vehicle before driving away without leaving a note, ostensibly, according to FBI agents, to conceal an affair.

The ruling of a judge in a case involving Tom Horne’s 2010 campaign could open the door for smear campaigns against candidates by groups that don’t have to disclose who is funding them.

FBI agents in Phoenix have crafted a new way to scare people into telling them what they want to know: Mention Martha Stewart.

Tom Horne and the head of a supposedly independent campaign whom he subsequently put on the state payroll violated election finance law in Horne's successful 2010 bid for state attorney general, Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery charged Monday.

The announcement this week that Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne is under criminal investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for reportedly “illegally collaborating with his campaign committee to raise campaign funds, promising a job to the leader of that committee and helping funnel money, an estimated half-million dollars, from his brother-in-law to the committee” is just the latest in a series of questionable acts involving Horne.

In an election cycle most analysts expect to be kind to Republicans, the Democrats' best shot at winning a statewide race could be for attorney general.

I don’t suppose some Arizona voters will care about Tom Horne’s lifetime trading ban by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (along with people like Bernie Madoff and Michael Milkin) or his failure to report a 1970 bankruptcy in several annual reports for his law firm during his primary run for attorney general. But they certainly should care about his eight-year record as superintendent of public schools. They should care that he proudly gives himself an “A” for the job he did, while our school system slid from about 40th overall in the nation to its present position of dead last. Now he’s running for attorney general — the lawyer for us, the people of Arizona. I don’t think we want our lawyer to be either unethical or a proven failure. Tom Horne is both.
