Scott Bennett is one of the funniest, nicest people in that building, and a thoughtful and intelligent legislator on top of that. Crossing my fingers that we’ll hear updates soon and that it’s all good news. Wishing him and his family the best.

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.
