SPRINGFIELD – Senator Adriane Johnson released the following statement after the sudden loss of State Senator Scott Bennett:

“Over the past few days it has been difficult to wrap my mind around the sudden passing of Senator Scott Bennett. My heart is heavy and my thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and children. Scott was such an encouraging individual and always willing to give insight.
