Raeburn C. Horne (October 7, 1896 – November 6, 1962) was a politician in the state of Florida. He served in the Florida House of Representatives in 1931 and 1957, as a Democrat, representing Madison County.[1]
Horne was a member of the Pork Chop Gang, a group of legislators from rural areas that dominated the state legislature due to malapportionment and used their power to engage in McCarthyist tactics.[2][3] The group often met at his fish camp at Nutall Rise in Taylor County, along the Aucilla River.[4]
