Scott Inman (born October 2, 1978) is a Democratic politician from Oklahoma, United States. He serves in the Oklahoma House of Representatives as the Minority Leader and representative of state House District 94. He was first elected to the Oklahoma House of Representatives in November 2006 and is currently serving his third term.
Inman was born and raised in Del City, Oklahoma. He attended the University of Oklahoma where he graduated in 2001 Summa Cum Laude with a degree in political science with a Spanish minor. Inman also attended the University of Oklahoma School of Law where he received his juris doctor in 2004. Upon graduating from law school, he practiced law with a firm in downtown Oklahoma City specializing in insurance defense.
When state House District 94 became vacant in the spring of 2006, Inman put his law practice on hold and ran for office. Upon his election in the fall of 2006, Inman became the first graduate of Del City High School to serve the city of Del City at the Oklahoma Legislature. And in May 2009, Scott was elected to serve as Leader of the House Democratic Caucus, and re-elected by his colleagues to another two years in May 2011. With these leadership appointments, Scott Inman broke a longstanding record by becoming the youngest person to lead a caucus in the House or Senate. He is the first state representative from Oklahoma County to lead the traditionally rural Democratic caucus in more than 40 years.
At the start of the 2012 legislative session, Inman announced the legislative agenda of the House Democratic caucus, prioritizing the areas of job creation, public education, transportation and natural resource policies.
Inman and House Speaker Kris Steele introduced a 2012 proposal to reject a pay raise for statewide officials and judges.
Inman is married to his high school sweetheart, Dessa, and together they have two daughters.
