Meet Scott
Since 2013, I have played a vital role in election administration in Manatee County serving as Chief of Staff/Assistant Supervisor of Elections to Mike Bennett during Mike’s entire term as Supervisor of Elections. For a decade prior to that, I served in the Sarasota County Supervisor of Elections office. Throughout my 21-year tenure, I have been a part of administering over 75 federal, state and local elections in our region.
I have worked as a professional in election administration, which is shown not only by the secure, accurate and transparent elections we have enjoyed in Manatee County for the last decade, but also by my ongoing dedication to the profession. I am the only Certified Elections Administrator in Manatee County and have also earned the Master Florida Certified Election Professional status. My knowledge of the technical side of elections, including cybersecurity, is a critical component of the success of elections in Manatee County.
Throughout my time in the Manatee County Supervisor of Elections Office, we held Manatee elections to highest of standards and built an excellent team. I look forward to getting back in the office to build upon the strong foundation in election administration in our county and to maintain the excellent standards that we set.
