"Together we can make a difference in this community." said Scott in a news release. "I want to make a stand for truth, not politics in both this election and in my service in the State House. I want to work to ensure the government works in its role to protect the freedom and liberty of all the citizens of this district and this state. The closer we get to local government and local people making decisions the better off our communities will be."
Scott joins three other Republicans, one Democrat and an independent seeking the state House seat, which was vacated by Curt Cobb. Cobb resigned July 1 to take the job of Bedford County clerk and master. Deadline for filing for the 62nd District seat ended today.
Scott, 38, said his campaign stands for "a constitutional role of government, the value of all life, and truth and integrity in service."
Scott graduated from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where he earned a bachelor's degree in business, majoring in accounting. He serves as lead pastor of Gateway Church in Shelbyville.
He and his wife Holly have been married for 14 years and have three sons.
Scott works as the chaplain for Shelbyville Police Department; has spent the past six years as a member of the Board of Directors for Community Clinic of Shelbyville and Bedford County, most recently as vice chair; and is a member of the board for the Shelbyville Homeless Shelter.
Scott's community activities include working with the Housing Authority and with Parks & Recreation developing events and activities in the city. He is founder and president of FloatingAx, a new non-profit developed for the purpose of community and leadership development.
Scott's campaign web site is www.scotthousetn.com, and his Twitter feed is scotthousetn.

Post your viewpoints here Bobby, would love to see your posts.
Do you believe in man made global warming? Do you believe that we need more government control in healthcare? Do you believe that this current administration is fiscally irresponsible and spending our children into debt?
More government? Or less government?
Please talk to us, thank you.
Brett,
Sorry it took a bit. I have not looked at the online version of the paper for several days. You can go to our website at http://www.scotthousetn.com for some of the details on my foundational principles. To answer your questions:
I don't actually buy the premise of man made global warming.
I think more governmental control in general is a poor idea. Governmental control of health care is no different.
I believe that most of our problems stem from out of control spending in government.
I believe that government has its role, but it is to be limited.
However, I would rather list what I am for rather than what I am against:
I want truth and integrity to be the standard and the norm, and not the exception in government. I believe that all life is to be valued and protected. I know that people are capable and able to prosper and live in freedom and liberty. I sense that faith in the process has been lost, but can be restored by those who are willing to serve with honor.
If anyone would like to email me questions they can through the website and I will do my best to answer quickly.
Thanks.
Bobby Scott
