Benson previously served on [[Pensacola City Council]] as the representative for [[City of Pensacola District 1|District 1]], from [[1988]] to [[1990]]; she resigned to seek state office.
 
In her [[1994]] bid to replace retiring Congressman [[Earl Hutto]], she faced four other Republicans in the primary and received a plurality (31.4%) of votes. In the resulting runoff, however, her pro-choice views contributed to her defeat (46%-54%) by pro-life newcomer [[Joe Scarborough]], who went on to defeat Democrat [[Vince Whibbs, Jr.]] in the general election.<ref>[http://www.govexec.com/story_page.cfm?filepath=/dailyfed/0199/010899b4.htm Who is Joe Scarborough?]</ref>
