From The Arizona Republic:
With the parties’ nominees for attorney general decided, both candidates moved quickly Tuesday to criticize their opponent and define the issues in the Nov. 2 general election.
Tom Horne, state superintendent of public instruction, became the Republican nominee Tuesday morning after his opponent, former Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas, conceded the race.
Early voting begins Oct. 7, giving the candidates only a few weeks to make their cases to the electorate – and to raise money from it. Both candidates are running without public financing.
Horne said Democratic opponent Felecia Rotellini would be a stand-in for President Barack Obama who would not adequately defend Arizona against encroachments on states’ rights.
