More About Ken Bennett
Ken Bennett was selected by Gov. Jan Brewer to replace her as Secretary
of State. He took the oath of office on January 26, 2009. The statewide
office is the newest chapter in a record of public service that spans 25
years. It’s also the latest distinction for Bennett, who is an Arizona
native, a small-business owner, and family man with three children and a
home in Prescott. Bennett began his legislative career in 1998, when he
was elected to represent the residents of Legislative District 1. He served
four terms in the state Senate – from 1999 to 2007. He was honored
to preside as Senate President his final four years before being term-limited
from office.
Earlier, in 2007, Bennett received the Polly Rosenbaum Award from the Arizona
State Library, Archives, and Public Records, in recognition of his support
for the State Library’s mission to preserve Arizona history and ensure
access to state information and records. He served as Republican Floor Leader
in 2002, and was chairman of the Senate Education Committee in 2001 and
2002.
Prior to joining the Legislature, Bennett was a member of the Arizona State
Board of Education for seven years. He was President of the Board in 1996
and 1998. Bennett also served on the Arizona Charter Schools Board for three
years, and was a founding member of the Education Leaders Council in Washington,
D.C.
Bennett’s career in public service began in 1985 with his election
to the Prescott City Council. He completed a four-year term, and was named
mayor pro-tempore in 1988.
After leaving the Legislature, Bennett re-entered the private sector to
work with companies in the development of alternative energy sources and
energy-efficient building technologies. He is currently the Chairman of
the Board of Directors for Prescott-based Global Building Systems, Inc.,
and Energy Tech America. He also is a member of the board of directors for
Cancer Treatment Centers of America (Western Regional Medical Center, in
Surprise) and Scottsdale-based EMTA Corporation. Bennett was CEO of Bennett
Oil Company, a family fuel-distribution business, from 1985 to 2006. He
continues to serve on its board of directors.
A fan of sports and music, Bennett is an Eagle Scout, and graduated from
Arizona State University in 1984, with a degree in accounting. Born in Tucson
in 1959, Bennett now has a home in Prescott with his wife, Jeanne Tenney
Bennett. They have three grown children and one grandson.
