| Info | State Sen. & Financial Advisor
Scott Bundgaard has served Legislative District 19 in the Arizona State Legislature for eight years. He was first elected at age 25 to the Arizona House of Representatives. Two years later, Scott was elected as the youngest member of the State Senate, where he currently serves as Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. Scott also serves as a member of the Natural Resources, Agriculture & Environment Committee, Judiciary Committee, and the Joint Legislative Budget Committee. He was reelected in 2000 to a third two-year term in the State Senate.
Scott was born in Oklahoma City, OK, and lived there seven days. His parents were on the road moving from Omaha, NE, to sunny Phoenix, AZ. On the way, his mom and dad were forced to make a quick stop to have their first son.
Scott's dad left Denmark in 1964 at age 20 in search of the freedom and opportunity America promised. He met his wife in Omaha several years later, where she was teaching school both in the classroom and on television. His mother recently retired from teaching after a career spanning 28 years.
Since the Arizona Legislature is a part-time 'citizen's legislature', Scott works as a financial advisor for Morgan Stanley Dean Witter when the State Senate is not in session.
Also, Scott coaches basketball for the Boys & Girls Club, the City of Glendale, and Arizona Youth Sports. He was recognized as "Coach of the Year" by the Kid's Basketball Association.
Scott is an active board member with MatchPoint, a division of Prison Fellowship Ministries, which is led by Chuck Colson. MatchPoint matches juveniles with adult mentors in an effort to provide positive direction in the life of those juveniles who have been adjudicated in the criminal justice system.
Scott also is a member of ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council) and is Vice Chairman of the Tax & Fiscal Policy task force.
