She previously served in the Michigan House of Representatives from the 3rd district from 2007 to 2010.[1][2] Between 2007 and 2010 Representative Scott worked to amend the Driver Responsibility Act of 2003 while serving on the Michigan House's Labor committee and Regulatory Reform committee.[3] In her final year she proclaimed success at repealing the driver responsibility fees resulting from that act through legislation passed in 2018.[4] ControversyScott has made racist remarks towards people with an Asian heritage, including to Michigan state representative Stephanie Chang, during the Democratic primary for the state Senate.[5][6][6] Witnesses reported Scott calling Chang and her volunteers "ching chong" or "ching chang" and accusing one of Chang's campaign volunteers of being an "immigrant," saying "you don't belong here" and "I want you out of my country."[6] Chang's husband, a black man, reported hearing Scott saying that it "disgusts [Scott] seeing black people holding signs for these Asians and not supporting their own people," and that he was a "fool" for marrying Chang.[7] Stephanie Chang commented on Scott's remarks, saying "These comments are offensive to all Asian-Americans. It isn't about me. It's about an elected official disrespecting entire populations, whether they be Asian-American, immigrant, or residents of Sen. District 1 or [Scott's] own current house district."[7] Scott has since made an apology for her remarks. Through a representative, she released a statement saying, "I deeply regret the comments I made that have proven hurtful to so many. Those are words I never should have said. I humbly apologize to Representative Chang, her husband, Mr. Gray, and to the broader Asian American community for those disparaging remarks. In the divisive age we find ourselves in, I should not contribute further to that divisiveness. I have reached out to Representative Chang to meet with her so that I may apologize to her in person. I pray she and the Asian American community can find it in their hearts to forgive me."[8] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.housedems.com/cook-scott|title=News From Rep.
