Who's the most powerful elected Scientologist in the land? We have a candidate. - 2017-06-10

We beg your patience today as we take you on a bit of a meander to the point we want to make in today's post. Eventually, here's where we intend to arrive: Recently, and without any fanfare, a baton was passed, and we believe there's been a change regarding the highest ranking elected official in this country who happens to be a member of the Church of Scientology.
It sneaked up on us, and we only now realized that the previous holder of that distinction — Nevada Assemblyman Brent Jones — lost his re-election bid in November.
So who's the new title holder?
