Both of Scott's terms as the Commissioner from District #7 have been filled with rewarding projects and challenges. Scott has served as Chairman of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority and Vice-Chairman of the Regional Rail Authority. Prior to his service at Anoka County Scott had served for 12 years on the Coon Rapids City Council as Mayor Pro Tem and Councilman at Large. He has tackled very tough economies and even tighter budgets and has made the tough choices it takes to move projects ahead in tough circumstances. Balancing budgets and directing policy are priorities in his governing style. "Keeping a lid on taxes is crucial to the success of Anoka County families and businesses." is one of Scott's mantras.
