Excerpt:

Scott understood early that the 2016 Bernie Sanders campaign for President would be a force. He made close contact and coverage of the campaign a central focus. True to form, Scott became a fixture on the Sanders campaign trail.

It was Scott who saw right from the beginning that the Dakota Access Pipeline resistance would be a lightning rod for Progressive organizing and motivated our action on the issue.

Scott’s final issue before his death was single payer healthcare. Healthcare for every American. On par with all economically developed countries in the world. Scott did not live to see it in his lifetime. But what he did see was that the potential is real.

As our colleague, friend, and contributor Bill Simpich said, “Scott, Rest in Power.”

A public service will be held for Scott at 1:00 PM Central on Monday, October 9 at Dunn's Funeral Home 2121 Grand Avenue, Des Moines IA 50312.
