David Scott approaches public service the same way he has approached leadership throughout his career: by listening first, understanding the system in front of him, and making decisions based on evidence, responsibility, and lasting impact.
Across Arizona, there’s a growing gap between effort and outcome.
Young people are getting educated, entering the workforce, and still struggling to find stable footing. Employers are having difficulty finding the right talent. Families are feeling pressure from housing and healthcare costs. Small businesses are unable to start, grow and thrive due to high costs and lack of resources.
At the same time, much of our economic development is focused on large, out-of-state interests, while many Arizona residents and small businesses are left trying to keep up.
These are not isolated issues. These trends can be addressed with focused, responsible policy that strengthens opportunity for Arizona residents and businesses.
Education & Workforce
Education is one of Arizona’s most important long-term investments. David supports strong early childhood programming, meaningful support for educators and parents, and workforce readiness aligned with local needs. Arizona values school choice and parental involvement, and David believes education policy — whether public, charter, private, or ESA — must be fair, transparent, and accountable.
Small Businesses & Nonprofits
Small businesses and nonprofits are the backbone of local communities. David supports predictable rules, practical regulation, and policies that reduce unnecessary burdens while improving access to capital for entrepreneurs and community organizations.
Housing & Cost Pressures
Housing affordability affects families, workers, and employers throughout District 10. David supports thoughtful solutions that address supply, infrastructure, and cost pressures while respecting local decision making and avoiding one-size-fits-all mandates.
Public Trust & Accountability
Public trust depends on transparency, competence, and consistency. David supports responsible budgeting, clear processes, and oversight that focuses on outcomes — not political parties or special interests.
