Terry Scott filed his nomination packet with Benicia City Clerk Lisa Wolfe on Friday morning, making his bid for a seat on the Benicia City Council official.
“It’s time for a change,” Scott said in a news release. “I’ve lived in Benicia for five election cycles. As residents and voters, we’ve listened, we voted and then we waited. Have we seen the results we were all promised? As your next Benicia City Council representative, I’ll look for new solutions that build a better future, not just patch problems of the present.”
Scott has served as Chair of the Benicia Arts and Culture Commission and the Benicia Public Art Committee, and is a founding member and former Executive Director of the Benicia Community Foundation.
“My vision for Benicia is to be a financially secure, economically vibrant community while at the same time preserving our friendly, small-town atmosphere,” Scott said. “It’s essential to champion our First Street by supporting our entertainment, restaurants, art galleries and small businesses, deal with parking and look for ways to improve the growth of our Industrial Park.
“We must be prepared to face the challenge of change and find ways to thrive. Benicia is a multi-generational community. Whether you choose to live here in retirement, raise a family or start one, we have a shared value to experience the quality of life unique to our amazing town.”
Scott earned a B.S. Degree from Kent State University and attended the Executive Studies Program at Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth College.
