As a life-long Republican and conservative, Scott's priority as a commissioner will be to protect the taxpayers of Craven County.  To this end, he will focus on the following:

Keeping Taxes Low - In this period of economic recession, Craven County will not be able to count on an expanding tax base to ensure adequate  tax revenues. Protecting a low tax rate is our best bet to foster economic growth.

Fostering Job Creation -  MCAS Cherry Point and the Fleet Readiness Center East provide Craven County with a sound employment base, but these assets must be protected.  Working to secure the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter will protect current jobs and help our community generate new opportunities for decades to come.

Protection of Property Rights -  As Craven County grows, so will pressure to implement new and more elaborate zoning ordinances. The protection of individual property rights will be a chief priority.

Commitment to Service - Scott will hold monthly office hours throughout the 4th District on a rotating basis. Town Hall meetings will be held to address major issues before the Board, including meetings to consider the County's annual budget.
