Bennett began work for Bennett Oil Company, a fuel distribution business in northern Arizona, in 1984.

Bennett was elected to the Prescott City Council in 1985 and served as Mayor Pro Tem in 1988.

He served on the City Council until 1989.

1992

He was appointed to the Arizona State Board of education in 1992, serving as president in 1996 and 1998.

1998

In 1998, he was elected to the Arizona State Senate, serving four two-year terms, the second as Chairman of the Education Committee, and the third and fourth as President of the Senate (2003–2007).

1999

He previously was a member of the state Senate from 1999 to 2007, and president of the state Senate from 2003 to 2007.

2005

In 2005, Clifton, along with two others, were arrested and accused of "brooming" 18 middle-school aged boys in the buttocks area while they were clothed.

Witness reports on the "brooming" incidents ranged from the use of brooms to touch the boys' rectal areas, to holding one boy down while shoving a broomstick against his buttocks.

2006

Initially working in finance, Bennett eventually inherited the position of chief executive officer, where he remained until 2006.

In addition, he sits on the board of directors for Global Building Systems Inc., a sustainable building systems company, as well as Treasurer on the board of directors of Cancer Treatment Centers of America.

Bennett is an active member of Arizona Tea Party groups and regularly attends Tea Party events and meetings.

As part of a plea deal that Clifton accepted in 2006, he was sentenced to spend 30 days in jail, in addition to probation and community service.

Despite claims by the parents of some of the victims that the incidents constituted sexual abuse, prosecutors argued instead that the crimes were not sexually motivated, which a trial judge agreed.

Parents of some of the victims have criticized the outcome, decrying what they perceive as a lenient sentence and suggesting that a plea deal was done because of Bennett's political status as president of the state senate.

Both Bennett and the prosecutor have denied allegations of political pressure in the case, with Bennett going as far as accusing critics of knowingly making false statements due to what he claims as a lack of evidence on him attempting to sway the case.

Bennett said he had made at the "request of numerous constituents"; after Hawaii provided the verification, Bennett said he accepted that Obama was born in the United States.
