About
Scott was raised on the Delmarva Peninsula in the small town of Hebron, Maryland, by a single mother.
Scott began working on a farm at 11 years old and soon after was introduced to the Big Brothers/Big Sisters Program of America. His Big Brother changed Scott’s life and helped set Scott on a path to success.
An accomplished wrestler in high school, after graduation Scott wanted to serve his country so he joined the Navy with the goal of becoming a U.S. Navy SEAL. After completing the six-month BUD/S training course in Coronado, California, Scott was assigned to SEAL Team 4 and served in the United States and Latin America, where he learned a fluency in Spanish.
Scott re-enlisted in the Navy after 9/11. In 2005, Scott was sent to Baghdad/Ramadi as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Scott served as a Navy SEAL sniper. Scott was severely injured while on a combat mission and was Medevac’d out of Iraq to Germany, then eventually back to the States. He finished out his enlistment as a marksmanship and reconnaissance instructor.
As a security consultant, Scott would travel back and forth to Yemen over four years. There he protected critical infrastructure, American citizens, and negotiated on a regular basis with armed tribesman in the Arabian desert.
In 2013, Scott won a hotly contested Republican primary and was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates, representing families in the 85th District located in Virginia Beach. His legislative accomplishments included laws dealing with energy, workforce and veterans issues.
Scott used his GI Bill education benefits to earn a bachelor’s degree in International Relations from Harvard University’s Extension School and is currently pursuing his masters there in the same field. He holds a Master’s Certificate in Government Contracting at Old Dominion University.
Now he is ready to take back the seat he lost to Elaine Luria in 2018 Elaine Luria is not a moderate, is controlled by Pelosi, and hasn’t gotten anything done as a freshman House member. She is not at all who she said she was, and exactly who we said she would be.
