Personal
Scott was born in Sweetwater, Texas. He received a Bachelor's degree from Abilene Christian University, a Master of Divinity degree from Yale University, and a Ph.D. degree in American history from Claremont Graduate University.
Scott and his wife, Lacreta, have five children, ten grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.
Career
Prior to being elected to the California Legislature, Scott served as President of Pasadena City College from 1987 to 1995 and is the first President Emeritus of the college.
Scott was elected to the California State Assembly in 1996 and later elected to the State Senate in 2000.
Currently, Scott chairs the Senate Committee on Education and most recently resigned from the Senate Budget Subcommittee on Education.
On May 8,2008, Scott was selected to be the 14th Chancellor of the California Community College System Office, to begin on January 1,2009.[1]
Recently, Scott introduced legislation that would ban mylar balloons in response to the Burbank Water & Power complaining about hundreds of power outages caused by mylar balloons.[2]. This had led to protests, led by KFI hosts John and Ken.[3] The Senate eventually passed an amended version of the bill that would raise the penalty for selling a balloon without a proper weight attached and require the balloon to have a warning about the risks of the balloon coming in contact with power lines.[4][5]
Gun Control
Scott is very active in gun control. He began his gun control efforts after his son Adam was fatally shot. His son Adam, an attorney who had recently graduated from USC Law School, was at a party with friends and one of his friends had a shotgun, which he didn't know was loaded. His friend discharged the shotgun, hitting Adam and killing him.
