}}Norma Sue Edwards Scott (born 1954), known as Sue Scott, is a Republican politician from Rogers in Benton County in Northwest Arkansas, who is a former member of the Arkansas House of Representatives for District 95 from 2013 to 2017.[1]

Background

Scott graduated from Danville High School in Danville in Yell County[1] and thereafter Petit Jean Vocational Technical School, now the University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton, in Morrilton in Conway County, the home region of former Governor Winthrop Rockefeller. She is Episcopalian.[2] She is a former three-time president of Beta Sigma Phi sorority.[1]

In her spare time, Scott enjoys quilting, gardening, traveling, Bible study classes, and spending time with her eight grandchildren.[1]

Political life

In the 2012 general election, Scott won the District 95 seat vacated by the incumbent Republican Donna Hutchinson of Bella Vista also in Benton County, who was term limited. Scott defeated the Independent Mark Moore, 6,807 (61.4 percent) to 4,275 (38.6 percent.[3]

Scott served on these House committee: (1) Aging, Children and Youth, (2) Legislative and Military, (3) Energy, and (4) Judiciary.[2]

Representative Scott in 2013 joined the required majority to override the vetoes of Democratic Governor Mike Beebe to enact legislation to require photo identification for casting a ballot in Arkansas and to ban abortion after twenty weeks of gestation. Scott similarly supported related pro-life legislation to ban abortion whenever fetal heartbeat is detected, to forbid the inclusion of abortion in the state insurance exchange, and to make the death of an unborn child a felony in certain cases. She co-sponsored a spending cap in the state budget, but the measure failed to gain approval by two votes in the House. She co-sponsored an amended state income tax. She co-sponsored the bill to empower university officials to engage in concealed carry of firearms in the name of campus safety. She voted to prohibit the governor from regulating firearms in an emergency. Scott opposed legislation to make the office of prosecuting attorney in Arkansas nonpartisan. She was a co-sponsor of legislation, signed by Governor Beebe, to permit the sale of up to five hundred gallons per month of unpasteurized whole milk directly from the farm to consumers. She did not vote on the failed proposal to prohibit the closure of public schools based on declining enrollments over a two-year period.[4]

Scott was re-nominated for a second term in the Republican primary held on May 20, 2014; she defeated Dane Zimmerman, 1,407 (55 percent) to 1,170 (45 percent).[5]

Scott was defeated for re-nomination to a third term in the state House in the Republican primary held on March 1, 2016.
