The executive director of Equality Nevada is running for the Nevada assembly and if she wins, she’ll make history.
Lauren Scott — running as a Republican but previously a Democrat — is hoping to represent assembly district 30 in Carson City. Scott not only runs the state’s LGBT organization, she “works as a consultant to government and private industry, focusing on business development and renewable energy issues,” according to Nevada’s mynews4.com. She previously served in the Air Force for seven years.
