Scott Cottington, a general political consultant, media buyer, and occasional media producer, has been in the business of politics since 1977 and an independent consultant since 1987.

He focuses on strategy and message development and campaign management. He works with his clients to structure the operational centers of their campaigns. He also helps integrate the more artistic nature of creating advertising with the demanding realities of message discipline, media placement and incorporation of research data.

During the 1980s, he served twice as Political Director and once as Deputy Finance Director for the National Republican Senatorial Committee. He was Western Regional Field Director for the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC). He was also the Campaign Manager for Rudy Boschwitz’ successful 1984 reelection campaign.

He has broad national experience and contacts. Before returning home to Minnesota in 1991, he operated out of Washington, DC, for nine years and also spent two years in Seattle with the NRCC.

He is a 1977 graduate of Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, with a BA in Economics.

In 2004, Roll Call magazine labeled Scott one of “The Money 22: Consultants Who Matter,” calling him “a hidden gem operating from his home base in Minnesota.”

In 2008, he was the lone Republican general consultant recognized by National Journal/Hotline for “standout performance.”
