Senator Bennett is one of the nicest people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. He is a dedicated public servant with incredible work ethic, and has an incredible sense of humor. He’s someone I not only consider a tremendous legislator, but also a great friend. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his wife and children at this time.
