Secession and Run For Governor
In 2010, Horsley ran unsuccessfully for governor under his Creator's Rights Party on a nullification platform. He said he was willing to kill his own son, who is a Sergeant in the Army, if he were sent to Georgia to stop him from seceding, and admitted to nearly killing his son once before.

Famous quotes containing the words run and/or governor:
“All Presidents start out to run a crusade but after a couple of years they find they are running something less heroic and much more intractable: namely the presidency. The people are well cured by then of election fever, during which they think they are choosing Moses. In the third year, they look on the man as a sinner and a bumbler and begin to poke around for rumours of another Messiah.”
—Alistair Cooke (b. 1908)
“[John] Brough’s majority is “glorious to behold.” It is worth a big victory in the field. It is decisive as to the disposition of the people to prosecute the war to the end. My regiment and brigade were both unanimous for Brough [the Union party candidate for governor of Ohio].”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
