Alexander Headquarters To Move After Building Sold

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Scientologists have bought the building, so Sen. Lamar Alexander's re-election headquarters will have to move out.

The Church of Scientology paid about $6 million for the Fall School Business Center, a former elementary school in Nashville that has been home to several Republican campaigns.

A campaign spokesman said Alexander's campaign is looking for other locations in Nashville.

Sen. Bob Corker moved his headquarters to the building in 2006 as part of his successful effort to revive his flagging campaign.

Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson also rented space at the building last year for his presidential bid but kept the bulk of his campaign apparatus in northern Virginia.
