Ray Scott (born in Youngstown, Ohio) is an American politician and a Republican member of the Colorado State Senate representing District 7 since January 7, 2015. Scott served consecutively from January 12, 2011 until January 9, 2013 in the Colorado House of Representatives District 54 seat, and from January 9, 2013 to January 7, 2015 in the Colorado House of Representatives District 55 seat.
After the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel published a column urging him to advance a bill granting journalists greater access to public records, Scott referred to the article and the newspaper as "fake news" on social media. The newspaper's publisher reacted by threatening to sue.
