This morning, Delegate Donald Lee Bennett took the oath of office. Bennett was appointed to fill the seat vacated by Delegate Larry Kump’s death. Clerk Jeff Pack administered the oath.
Bennett, an account manager, accepted this position and wants to stop the bleeding of people from the state.
“I believe West Virginia needs to push forward on innovation to keep people from leaving my county,” said Bennett.
Bennett represents District 94, which includes Berkeley County.
Joining Delegate Bennett for the ceremony were his wife, Beth, and daughters, Emily and Brena. Speaker Roger Hanshaw and Department of Administration Secretary Eric Householder were also in attendance.
