Tom Horne is Arizona's republican nomination for the state’s highest education post and hires a convicted pedophile to manage his campaign.

     This explains a lot and has nothing to do with Democrat or Republican. It is fact. Tom Horne was the Arizona Attorney General in 2010 - 2011 when I reported my son's abuser to the Attorney General's office. The police wouldn't do anything so I had to go to the AZ AG for help. I pushed and pushed for an arrest. I wrote letters and showed them the horrifying images I found. All child abuse was completely ignored. Not only ignored but revenge was taken on us by the state involving our 18 month old baby. Nobody would listen to us and being that our complaint was against the state, no Arizona attorney would take our case. Twelve years later I find this in the news:

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) — Tom Horne, a Republican candidate for Arizona State Superintendent of Public Instruction, confirmed that former state Rep. David Stringer, who was at one time charged with child sex crimes, is doing work for his campaign for state office. Horne confirmed the association in an interview with Morgan Loew for Politics Unplugged. Horne posted a photo to Twitter with Stringer on Aug. 3, a day after securing the Republican nomination for the state’s highest education post. “Absolutely and he’s completely innocent of the charges against him,” Horne said when asked if Stringer was associated with his campaign. “Believe me, if he had done what he was accused of, he would have been disbarred.” But in 2019, Stringer resigned from the Arizona House of Representatives after he was recorded making racist speeches, including one about public school children. If elected, Horne would oversee the state’s public school system. “Sixty percent of public school kids in Arizona today are minorities. There aren’t enough white kids to go around,” Stringer said at the time. That is also when a police report surfaced from 1983 when police alleged the 36-year-old Stringer to have paid two young boys to have sex with him. Stringer appears to have pleaded guilty to a lesser charge, but the court records were later expunged. “I disagree with those things [Stringer’s comments on the race of public school children] but there have been serious allegations made against him personally that have been disproven,” Horne said. “He reported corrupt police officers. These police officers had a system for dealing with people who complained about them. They had a witness who would make the exact same charges against different people.” 

“It was proven there was nothing to it and it was all investigated and it was shown,” Horne said. “Sometimes people plead guilty to a lesser charge to avoid the bigger charge.” Horne’s opponent in the upcoming election, current School Superintendent Kathy Hoffman, sent this statement regarding Horne’s association with Stringer: “David Stringer resigned in disgrace from the legislature to avoid being expelled after reports of his molestation of children came to light. And Tom Horne counts him as a top campaign ally and donor. It’s deeply unsettling.
