About Me
- Cedric Scott
- Charlotte, Piedmont/North Carolina
- Cedric Scott plans to represent Mecklenburg County in the NC State Senate District 38 in the November 2, 2010 election. He seeks to represent citizens who are currently disenfranchised and in need of the basic necessities for survival, from careers to healthcare. Scott’s background includes economic development and leadership experience from his work as Assistant Treasurer of Advantage West-North Carolina. He also assisted NC Supreme Court Justice Henry Frye and NC State Auditor Ralph Campbell in the 2000 Election with community outreach and campaign events in Western North Carolina. More recently, Scott’s experience in the mortgage finance industry has given him a unique perspective into the crisis that’s facing many of the citizens of Mecklenburg County. He notes, “My familiarity with mortgages and this housing crisis is just one aspect of who I am---it is just a single part of what I have to offer my community.” Scott is a life-long North Carolina resident, born and raised in Concord; he graduated from college with a Bachelor’s in Political Science in 1999 from Mars Hill College.

Mr. Cedic Scott!!! I met you by canvassing your neighborhood last Saturday. I came to check out your blog to see what you were all about and I must say that I am surprised to see that you haven't written anything for this blog since last year. I wanted to see what exactly you're doing out in your community as far as grassroots goes, and what separates you from other self-absorbed politicians that I've met that believe in grassroots but aren't very familiar with the work that goes along with it
