The Twin Falls Times-News reports today that longtime Sen. Clint Stennett, D-Ketchum, is retiring from the state Legislature to focus on his recovery after battling brain cancer for the past two years, and his wife, Michelle, will run for his seat. Michelle Stennett is currently filling in for her husband during this year’s legislative session; he first was elected to the House in 1990 and served two terms, before being elected to the Senate in 1994, where he rose to Senate minority leader. “At some point, he needs to be able to just quietly gain his strength and do what he needs to do for himself, and the people of the district need to have a person who can be there,” Michelle Stennett told the Times-News. You can read the full report here; she told the newspaper that Clint Stennett may well return to the Legislature in the future.
