                         TRIBUTE TO SETH SCOTT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. GREG STANTON

                               of arizona

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 29, 2023

  Mr. STANTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize my departing Chief of 
Staff, Seth Scott, for his years of service to the people of Arizona's 
Fourth Congressional District. It's a bittersweet day. Seth has worked 
with me for more than a decade--half of that here in the House. I often 
say hiring him was the best career decision I've ever made.
  Few have as broad experience in government, law, media and politics. 
He cut his teeth in the Arizona Governor's office, Congress, and local 
government and ran several important political campaigns before 
returning to Arizona State University for law school. At the City of 
Phoenix and here in Congress, Seth has led my office with a steady 
hand. His acumen while serving as my Chief of Staff was always in clear 
view, and all the accomplishments we achieved would not have been 
possible without him at the helm.
  His fierce intellect, sharp political instincts and deep policy 
expertise have made him an invaluable and sought-after adviser.
  But it's his loyalty, integrity and a work ethic second to none that 
have endeared Seth to all who have worked with and under him. As deftly 
as he's handled complex legislative matters, he has also cultivated and 
mentored a generation of young staffers.
  Seth has the talent and determination to succeed anywhere he 
chooses--but the people of Arizona are fortunate that he has chosen to 
devote his career to serving his community.
  He has been a great friend and trusted confidant of mine, and he will 
continue to be well after he departs--though perhaps with a few less 
late-night and early morning phone calls. I wish him all the best as he 
takes on this new challenge.
