Sharron Angle

Sharron Angle served as a Republican member of the Nevada Assembly from 1999 to 2005. She is currently the 2010 Republican nominee for the United States Senate seat in Nevada held by the current Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid.

Connections to Scientology
During the primary campaign, Sue Lowden took out a political ad criticizing Angle's alleged associations with Scientology and claiming Angle "pushed a bill favored by the Church of Scientology". The Las Vegas Sun noted that Angle's website credited her with a successful bill against psychotropic drugs in schools, a position also supported by Scientologists, and that Angle had accompanied celebrity Scientologists Jenna Elfman and Kelly Preston to promote the bill in the U.S. Senate. Angle herself promoted a similar bill in the Nevada Assembly, but was not successful.

Endorsements
Angle has been endorsed by many conservative activists, individuals and organizations, including the Club for Growth, the Tea Party Express, Joe the Plumber, and Phyllis Schlafly of the Eagle Forum.
