From Sierra Vista Herald:
The candidates for Arizona attorney general have made the race less about the issues facing the state’s next top prosecutor and more a contest of experience — and their assessments of each other are brutal.
Republican Tom Horne said Democrat Felecia Rotellini misrepresented herself as a veteran prosecutor when she didn’t bring one criminal case to trial in her 13 years as an attorney for the attorney general’s office and has scant experience in trying civil cases. “That does not make you a veteran prosecutor,” Horne said.
Rotellini said Horne was trying divert attention from his absence of prosecutorial experience and the revocation of his license to sell securities decades ago. “Mr. Horne is desperate to come up with something that he can attack me on,” Rotellini said.
