MAINTANING LOCAL CONTROL
Scott understands and will work for the needs of the entire City. Critically for North Naples - Gulf Shore, Park Shore, Naples Cay, and Seagate communities - Scott understands the unique challenges these waterfront neighborhoods face. No council member currently lives in the northern tier. Scott will ensure this constituency's needs are equally heard at City Hall.
Our Campaign Focus
Smart, Responsible Growth
Scott believes in preserving Naples’ small-town charm by stopping reckless zoning variances and promoting thoughtful, balanced development that fits our community’s character. Naples must never become “Miami West.” Growth is inevitable, but it must be managed with care — respecting our neighborhoods, protecting our quality of life, and keeping the scale and beauty that make Naples unique. Scott will work to ensure future development enhances our city, not overwhelms it.
Strong Infrastructure & Resiliency
Naples must invest in repairing aging infrastructure and strengthening flood protection to keep our neighborhoods safe, our roads functional, and our city prepared for the future, including hardening our water system's computer systems against ransomware attacks.
Protecting Home Rule
Scott will stand up against state overreach and defend Naples’ right to make local decisions — ensuring our city’s future is shaped by its residents, not politicians in Tallahassee. He believes in maintaining open, respectful dialogue with our state legislators to find common ground and protect Naples’ best interests by working with people, not against them.
Building Partnerships & Unity
Scott will foster collaboration between the City, County, and State, bringing people together to solve problems and deliver real results for all parts of Naples. As a proven bridge-builder, he will serve as a strong liaison to County Commissioners, our County Constitutional officers, and our State Legislative delegation to strengthen communication, align priorities, and ensure Naples’ voice is heard at every level of government.
