Career
Horn worked for Blue Cross/Blue Shield from 1986 - 1990 as a liaison between physicians and the brokerage. She would assist her husband Bill in running his consulting firm, Management Technologies from 1990 to 1997.

She presently writes for the NH Patch, those as of May 18, 2012 they stated she had plans to move on.
2008 congressional campaign
Horn won the Republican nomination for the NH 02 district, defeating Bob Clegg, 12,667 votes to 10,731 (40%-34%). Horn lost the general election for the NH 02 district, losing to Paul Hodes 188,332 - 138,222 (41%-56%). This came at a great personal cost with Horn closing her campaign with over $250,000 in debt.
2010 congressional campaign
Horn lost the Republican nomination for the NH 02 district to Charles Bass 18%-43%. Bass went on to win the seat. She constantly followed by her campaign debt from the previous race, and many have cited her debt as the reason she lost the primary bid for Congress.
