Scott is a serial entrepreneur, postdoc at Arizona State University, and political activist running for Arizona State House of Representatives to represent District 14
- Arizona's state legislature has a very narrow Republican majority in both houses. One or two Greens or third party members at the tipping point would have outsized power in the legislature because anyone who wants to get anything passed without bipartisan consensus would need to work with us.
- The ongoing climate catastrophe and ecocide are extremely pressing issues which must be addressed in order for us and our posterity to continue to live and thrive going forward.
- Business, social safety nets, public transit, and environmental sustainability are often artificially placed in conflict, but strong safety nets, universal healthcare, efficient and frequent public transit, and so on all contribute greatly to commerce. As someone who has started multiple companies I'm well aware of how much these things would help entrepreneurs starting and running businesses while benefiting everyone.
- Sustainability
- Public Health
- Electoral Reform
- Criminal Justice & Public Safety
- Transportation
- Infrastructure
- Education
- Reproductive Justice
- Workers' Rights
My first job was as a contractor at Intel's Embedded Microdevices Division ( EMB ) for one year doing research on and developing function blocks for embedded neural networks.
Obviously experience in all fields is beneficial but in government there is a strong tension between having such experience and being a career politician which actively counters and undermines the ability of elected officials to represent their constituents.
In an ideal / reformed system, there would be a constant influx of citizens to elected office who would be mentored by previous and current office holders with a lot of churn.
There are many structural reasons we don't see that but one key one is the unreasonable barriers which are placed on potential candidates for ballot access and winner-take-all plurality voting ( often called 「 first past the post 」 ) which compels voters to vote strategically to make either-or / 「 lesser of two evils 」 rather than voting for candidates who they think would best represent them.
Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
