Mark Bennett for South Carolina Senate
Dear Friends, my name is Mark Bennett, and I am a Republican running for State Senate District 17.

 

I will be a State Senator who truthfully represents the interest of the people. I am a Christian constitutional conservative. I will not disgrace my faith, family or my district.

I am a lifelong resident of Chester County. I live in Richburg in a family home originally built by my great-grandfather approximately 100 years ago. I am the son of John N. Bennett, Jr. and Betty Ann Gibson Bennett also of Richburg. I have two brothers, Andy and Brad, both of Richburg and a sister Jane Gaston of Lancaster.
My wife Debbie was recently elected as an alternate National Delegate to the Republican National Convention.

We are the proud and humbled parents of two wonderful gifts from God, James and John. I am a member of Union ARP Church where I have served as a deacon for 21 years.
I was an Honor Graduate of Lewisville High School and attended the University of South Carolina Lancaster. I have been a tax recovery auditor, a commercial auto parts manager, and a truck driver.
Publicly, my "Fifteen Minutes of Fame", so far, has come from being the owner and driver of "The Richburg Rocket" at the local speedways.

I am a Christian constitutional conservative.
I will be a State Senator who truthfully represents the interest of the people.
