SENATOR LELAND VOTES AYE: STORIES FROM UNDER THE DOME

By John Andrews

The George Leland stories follow a pastor-turned-politician as he serves in the legislature of an unnamed heartland state. We meet the conservative senator's allies and foes such as Tom Wilson in his own party and Martha Nash in the other party, media figures such as Blake Peters and Lisa Kilgore, staffers like Mike Loomis, broadcasters like Mike Roseman, as well as George's wife Frances, their son Marc, and other Leland family members. Though politically on the right--in a state where the two major parties are Covenant (his team) and Service (the opposition)--Senator Leland keeps finding himself in the gray area, wrestling with ethical dilemmas and human flaws that defy easy answers. He soon realizes that nothing in his pulpit background called for more skill in navigating questions of right vs. wrong--not merely right vs. left--than this new experience in public service has required. Author John Andrews draws on his own six years as a Colorado state senator to spin these intriguing tales on timely issues ripped from the headlines.
