Hugh Doggett Scott, Jr. (November 11, 1900 – July 21, 1994) was a Republican U.S. representative and senator from Pennsylvania, with his political career spanning from the early 1940s to the late 1970s. A leader among the establishment wing of his party, Scott was considered an internationalist and a Moderate Republican.

U.S. Senate

In the 1952 presidential election, Scott was an early supporter of the more moderate Dwight Eisenhower over Robert A. Taft.[1] Along with Jacob Javits of New York, he voiced skepticisms of conservative Barry Goldwater in the 1964 election; Goldwater responded:[1]

“ The Republican establishment is desperate to defeat me. They can’t stand having someone they can’t control. ”

In mid-July 1964, Scott predicted that Goldwater would close in on the Republican nomination and ultimately lose to fellow Pennsylvania Moderate Republican William Scranton.[2] He was ultimately proven wrong when the Arizona senator was picked in a sharp rebuke to the Republican establishment.

Scott voted for the Civil Rights Acts of 1957,[3] 1960,[4] 1964,[5] 1968,[6] the 24th Amendment,[7] as well as the Voting Rights Act of 1965.[8]
