Scott Bundgaard is a Republican politician who served in the Arizona House of Representatives and in the Arizona State Senate. Bundgaard served as Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and was later elected as Majority Leader of the Arizona State Senate.
Scott Bundgaard was born in Oklahoma City, OK, while his parents were moving to Phoenix, Arizona from Omaha, Nebraska. Scott graduated with a BS degree from Grand Canyon University in 1990. Scott received his MBA in 2005 from Thunderbird School of Global Management.
Scott married Stephanie Moore in July 2013 and the couple lives in Peoria, AZ.
Scott was elected as the Majority Leader of the Arizona State Senate in a 17-4 vote. Two months after becoming Majority Leader, Bundgaard was involved in a physical altercation with his then girlfriend. Democrats and Republicans in the State Senate demanded that Bundgaard step down as Majority Leader, but the Republican caucus refused to vote to replace him. One week later, Bundgaard asked for a vote from his colleagues and was removed as Majority Leader on March 15, 2011 by a vote of 13-11 of the Senate Republican caucus. Bundgaard said, "I serve at the pleasure of the caucus and have emphasized that fact to my caucus for the past two weeks," Bundgaard told Reuters. "I did not want my personal life, which has been sensationalized in the media, to be a distraction at this critical time."
Bundgaard had previously served in the Arizona State Senate for six years (1997–2003)
Bundgaard also served in the Arizona House of Representatives for two years (1995-1997)
Scott received the "Friend of the Taxpayer" Award every year for the seven years he served in the state legislature, according to the Arizona Federation of Taxpayers Associations (AFTA). AFTA is a statewide non-profit, non-partisan organization that rates elected officials according to their voting record.
