Michael Bennet: “John [Stult Jr.] was appointed by five governors of both…”

“I rise today to remember the life of John Stult Jr. A son of Colorado's Eastern Plains, Colorado's first and only water czar and the former commissioner of agriculture for our state. In his 45 extraordinary years of public service, John [Stult Jr.] was appointed by five governors of both parties to two cabinet positions and six state boards and commissions. Governor Bill Ritter, who appointed John as commissioner of agriculture, said, if we had an award for the most universally loved cabinet member, it would be John Stult. I agree.” (00:02–00:30)
