My name is Conolus Scott, Jr. I am running for Commissioner of District 2. I am a graduate of Southside High School in Madison County and I have a degree in marketing and management. In the field of management, I have training and experience. I worked at Westinghouse Electric Corporation for 30 years in the area of management. After leaving Westinghouse, I operated my own business for 15 years. I am a lifetime resident of Madison County; married to the lovely Rebecca Morris Scott for 49 years; and we have two charming children. Our children, Charles and Gwen, were born and raised in Madison County; both attended the Madison County Public School System; and they played sports during their high school years. My parents and grandparents also lived in Madison County. My father Conolus Scott, Sr., is active in the community. He volunteered and worked tirelessly for the citizens of Madison County, especially for the senior center selling ham and egg supper tickets. He is well respected throughout the county. He taught me the importance of service — to country, community and others. So I can honestly say, my ties run deep in Madison County.

I am the son of George and Autumn Strickland of Danielsville, Georgia. I am married to the former Emily Carlton Faircloth of Moultrie.

I graduated from Madison County High School in 1996. Then, I went on to graduate from the University of Georgia in 2000 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Agriculture. During my time at UGA, I served as president of both Aghon and Brass Gavel honor societies.
