On April 10, President Trump announced
his intent to nominate Donald M. Benton to the United States Selective Service
System.
If confirmed, Benton will serve as the
Director of the United States Selective Service System. Mr. Benton served as a
Senator in the Washington State legislature for 20 years from 1997 to 2017. He
earlier served two terms as an elected college trustee on the Santa Clarita
Community College District Board of Trustees and one term in the Washington
State House of Representatives. Mr. Benton started his first company when he
was 17 years old, and has built and sold several companies since.
Mr. Benton served as the Director of the
Clark County Environmental Services Department from 2013 to 2016. During his
tenure he reduced the cost of removing hazardous waste from the waste stream
while doubling citizen participation and tripling the tonnage of hazardous
waste removed. Mr. Benton was also responsible for Clark County certifying more
Green Schools than in any other county in Washington State.
Mr. Benton also served as the White
House Senior Advisor to the EPA during transition.
