Scott Sherman is a member of the San Diego City Council, representing District 7 in San Diego, California. He took office December 3, 2012 and was re-elected in 2016. He is a Republican, although city council positions are officially nonpartisan per state law.
District 7 includes the neighborhoods of Allied Gardens, Del Cerro, Linda Vista, Mission Valley, San Carlos, Serra Mesa, Tierrasanta, and Lake Murray.
Sherman grew up in a military family. He has lived in San Diego since he was 5 months old. He attended Patrick Henry High School and Grossmont Community College. He is an insurance agent, with a focus on maritime insurance, and is an avid boater and fisherman. He and his wife, the former Norma Mouett, live in the Allied Gardens neighborhood near where he grew up.
Sherman ran for the District 7 council seat in the 2012 election after District 7 incumbent Marti Emerald decided to run in the newly created District 9 seat. Sherman was recruited to run by then-councilmember Carl DeMaio. He had not previously been active in politics.
In the June 2012 primary he earned 50.09% of the vote, edging out three competitors to win the seat outright and avoid a November runoff. He took office December 3, 2012.
