Scott left the Automotive Industry to run for U.S. Senate. Last Fall, he returned to the same dealership where he had previously worked. Scott is now trying to bring his brand of pragmatic leadership to the Story County Board of Supervisors. Scott’s credentials as a common sense leader are solid. As such, he will be a supporter of local solutions, focusing on what is in the best interest of Story County residents while also offering a common sense and pragmatic approach to our helping grow our economy. More than anything else, Scott believes that the biggest single issue our county currently faces is maintaining our balanced budget. After spending a quarter-century with an unbalanced budget, our current Board was able to return us to a balanced budget. Scott wants to ensure we continue to keep our county government’s fiscal house in order, and we are able to tackle any issues that may arise that might jeopardize our current sound fiscal footing. And finally, he knows our residents want someone who is willing to roll up his sleeves and work side-by-side with all of the employees and citizens of Story County.
