Michael Horner (born January 8, 1968, in Jacksonville, Florida) is an American Republican politician and a former member of the House of Representatives of the U.S. state of Florida.[1]

Horner graduated with a bachelor's degree from the University of Florida in 1989. He then went on to graduate school at the University of Central Florida, and graduated with a Master's in Public Administration in 1995. He currently lives in Kissimmee, Florida with his family.

Resignation[]

On September 24, 2012, Horner was running for re-election when he suddenly resigned from the Florida House of Representatives after his name surfaced on a list of brothel clients in evidence against an accused prostitution ring leader.[2] In his resignation statement, Horner said "I deeply regret decisions I made that are causing my family unjustifiable pain and embarrassment."[3][4][5]
