Republican Attorney General-elect Tom Horne says his victory demonstrates that Arizonans want an Attorney General who will defend Arizona.
"As of this coming January when I take office, I intend to defend S.B. 1070 all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary, join the other states in the lawsuit challenging the Constitutionality of ObamaCare, strictly enforce the laws so we are safe in our homes and communities, and create a legal environment that is conducive to business growth," Horne said.
He added, "I could not have done this without an amazing and dedicated group of volunteers who worked the phones, put up signs, raised money and gave of their time and talents to ensure this victory. I want to thank everyone who helped make this possible."
