Benson's Background is Unique
Craig Benson's political accomplishments stretch across
local and international issues. He has taken on numerous
challenges, working through the system and proper channels
to overcome them. Although Benson has never held a public
office, he has, in many cases, accomplished more than
some of our elected officials. His influence has not come
from a title in a political office, but rather from his
unique ability to communicate with people, share ideas,
listen to concerns and build support around his beliefs.
Some might argue that a person with Benson's background
would not have the patience or "stick-to-it" diligence
to be successful at this level. Yet Benson has proved,
time and again-from the European Union challenge (six-year
effort), to business tax reform (four-year effort), to
electricity deregulation (five-year effort)- that he is
committed to starting and finishing the job, regardless
of any obstacles he may face along the way. |
