Addressing an alumni chapter of his Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Scott stated, "I fought hard to put in place a state law that requires the observance of a moment of silence for reflection and prayer at the start of each school day in all of Georgia's public schools.  I fought hard for the law requiring background checks before gun purchases, and making it a felony for anyone to knowingly sells or provides a firearm to a minor."

Scott gives credit to his legislation for the decline in teen pregnancies in the state.  He authored legislation mandating the teaching of Sex Education and AIDS prevention in Georgia's public schools.

Scott is not just a politician, he has been a successful business leader as well.  "I have been fortunate enough to win awards for my work as Chief Executive Officer of Dayn-Mark Advertising Company. I have been on the front line in both politics and business."  Scott has won four Emmy awards for the PBS production entitled "Langston!" a tribute to the poetry of Langston Hughes and he has won an award from the NAACP as well.
