Biography

A native of Norristown, Scott served as a non-voting junior borough councilman and a volunteer firefighter and EMT as a teenager.[4] He went on to earn a bachelor's degree in business communications from Chestnut Hill College, and a master's degree in organizational leadership from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2013.[2]

Scott worked as a congressional aide to U.S. Representatives Joe Sestak and Chaka Fattah, and as chief of staff to the CEO of Universal Companies, a nonprofit founded by Kenny Gamble.[4]

Scott was elected a magisterial district judge in November 2015, becoming the first African American district judge in Montgomery County and (at 28) the youngest sitting judge in Pennsylvania.[1] He resigned in February 2022 to run for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in the 54th District, which was redistricted from Western Pennsylvania to Montgomery County.[2] He was elected on November 8, 2022, defeating Republican Allen Arthur Anderson by 72% to 28%.[5]
