Church Statement In Response to LDS Political Candidates

Just moments after Jon M. Huntsman Jr. resigned his post as U.S. Ambassador to China yesterday, the Public Affairs office of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City began receiving calls from prominent news organizations speculating about another possible presidential bid by a Mormon and asking for insights about both Ambassador Huntsman and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.

We discuss how this happened and why Protestants were uniquely situated to do this, although we look at similar Catholic efforts in recent decades.
