Scott was first elected to the Oklahoma Senate in 2016.[2]
In 2020, Scott faced a contested Republican primary with two challengers, Jessica Garvin and Kaity Keith.[3]
He failed to win the first round of the Republican primary by 0.1% of the vote, forcing him into a runoff with Garvin. The primary was reported as being hotly contested.[4]
He lost a primary runoff and the Republican Party's nomination to Garvin.[5]
Scott was criticized for using campaign funds to pay for membership in the National Rifle Association of America.[2]
In 2018, concerns were raised when Scott's company was awarded a contract for mobile X-ray services by the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs. The Oklahoma Constitution prohibits members of the legislature from having any interest in contracts with the State.[6]
In 2019, he was required to formally apologize to fellow Senator Carri Hicks after tampering with her chair, causing it to give way.[7]
