Editor’s note: Between now and Election Day on Nov. 4, the Free Press is inviting candidates for state office whose constituencies include the Fredericksburg area to make their case in their own words through a candidate questionnaire. Phillip Scott is the incumbent Delegate representing Virginia’s 63rd District, covering parts of Spotsylvania and Orange Counties. A committed Christian and family man, Scott lives in Spotsylvania with his wife and five daughters. His legislative work reflects his values, focusing on reducing taxes, enhancing personal freedoms, and improving the healthcare system, inspired by his daughter’s medical needs. I will continue to work to ensure local governments — elected by local residents — have the final say in where they are located.
