The Arizona Court of Appeals rebuffed former Attorney General Tom Horne’s latest attempt to clear himself of the allegations that partially led to his defeat in his re-election campaign, affirming a lower court ruling that upheld a $400,000 fine for campaign finance violations related to his 2010 campaign.
Writing for the court in a unanimous decision, Judge Jon Thompson said Yavapai County Attorney Sheila Polk acted properly in determining that Horne illegally coordinated with an independent expenditure committee run by ally Kathleen Winn during the waning days of his 2010 campaign against Democrat Felecia Rotellini.
