Steve Benson

Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist for The Arizona Republic. Grandson of former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture and LDS prophet Ezra Taft Benson.

Late in 1993, Benson very publicly apostatized from the LDS Church after charging its leadership with covering up his grandfather's senility and allowing church members to believe Ezra Taft was still in charge of the church's day-to-day affairs. Benson had for some time been feeding information on his grandfather's condition to colleagues at The Arizona Republic and in the Associated Press.

Benson and his wife are vociferous [atheist]s today.
