==Legtislative election==
==Legislative election==
In 1975, in the first-ever Louisiana nonpartisan blanket primary, Scott was elected to the District 26 House seat, which primarily covers the city of Alexandria and some surrounding points. He succeeded fellow Democrat Edward Gordon "Ned" Randolph, Jr.] (1942-2016), who gave up the position after a single term to contest, successfully, a Louisiana Senate seat in the same election cycle. Scott defeated Lloyd George Teekell, later a 9th Judicial District judge who had served earlier in the state House from 1953 to 1960. Scott polled 3,908 votes (54.7 percent) to Teekell's 3,233 ballots (45.3 percent). Randolph, meanwhile, unseated four-term Democratic State Senator [[Cecil R. Blair]] of Lecompte in south Rapides Parish.[4]
