Lois Holden Benson is the current Emerald Coast Utilities Authority board member for District 3 and a former member of the Pensacola City Council and Florida House of Representatives. She is the mother of politicians Holly Benson and Megan Benson Pratt.
Benson was initially appointed to the ECUA seat by Governor Jeb Bush on November 23, 2004, following the October 31 resignation of George Watson.[1]
She has also run for the Florida State Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the mayoralty of Pensacola, the latter of which she lost in 2001 to John Fogg. A priority of her campaign platform at the time was to relocate the Main Street Wastewater Treatment Plant.
