Scientology Critic Issues Warning After Losing His Reelection
Published By admin with Comments 0
Mark Bunker, a major critic of the Church of Scientology, lost his City Council reelection bid in Clearwater, Florida, a major hub for the church, and he’s worried what it means for the church’s influence.
Bunker, a Democrat, on Tuesday lost to Republican firefighter Ryan Cotton in a tight race that came down to less than 700 votes, according to unofficial results. Bunker made Scientology a focal point of his first campaign in 2020 and continued to speak out and take a firm stance against the church while his challengers took a more measured approach.
Without him on the board, Bunker told Newsweek he’s concerned there will be “no one on the council willing to take on Scientology.”
“Thinking this organization is just like any other church is a grave mistake,” Bunker said.
