Horton was born in Japan, while her father was in the Navy, but grew up in south San Diego County, California. She received her Bachelor's degree from San Diego State University in 1976. She ran her own property management business until elected to the California State Assembly.
After serving two terms as mayor of Chula Vista, 1994–2000, Horton was elected in 2002 to represent the 78th Assembly District, which includes southern San Diego, Chula Vista, Lemon Grove and Spring Valley.
