Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’m Scott Aubart

Father of 4 ,3 boys 1 girl. I lost my oldest son in a car accident in 2005 and my Daughter to complications with type 1 diabetes in 2017. I work as a Maintenance Manager and I’m a jack of all trades… My run for office is about honesty and integrity, I believe we should have real people that understand the issues. Not lifetime politicians.

The country right now is extremely divided and that comes from our current leaders. We can’t fix it by putting the same people back in office ..Both parties are guilty of causing the divide we have right now..

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Unite the Country
• Start making changes in Washington. What we have isn’t working.. It’s time to put people above Politics..
• Holding trump accountable for his crimes . Especially the attack on our country by his followers and his ignoring the pandemic. trump is responsible for the deaths of many people

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Health and Health care. I don’t believe people should have to pay for or only untitled to the best health care because of the amount of money they have.. We should have a National health care program…

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I follow my Grandfather , He was the hardest working man I know. I’m not bought in by money and fame. I like real people…

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Take the time to visit museums, graveyards of our soldiers places like Pearl Harbor.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Honesty and integrity. It’s really that simple. If you misinform people or lie and are proved wrong by facts and still spread the lies. You should immediately loose your job. We owe it to America to always be honest…

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

A natural leader . I have a natural ability get people working together and that’s what my run is all about. America won’t last divided and the people we keep voting in the politicians (salespeople) are the reason we are as divided. We don’t need millionaires,billionaires and movie stars.
We need people that want to give the country back to the people…

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

To work for the people, regardless of special interest or partisan divide

What legacy would you like to leave?

My love for People and seeing people succeed. Whatever that means to you. Everyone should reach back and help everyone else along …

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

The moon landing. I was 8 years old

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Selling newspapers. I was 12 and delivered the Minneapolis star and tribune

Sherlock Holmes

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Waterfalls

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

I have been married twice both long marriages that ended in divorce. I have lost my oldest son in a car accident and my Daughter to complications with type 1 Diabetes. I always get up every time I’m knocked down. My life hasn’t been easy but I have never let myself down

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

I believe the Greatest challenge will be to Unite the country. It’s become so divided because of politics it going to be a very large challenge. There’s so much misinformation and it’s spread so quickly we have to find a way to stop it without stomping on rights of free speech

What are your thoughts on term limits?

There should be term limits in every office including judges

What qualities does the U.S. Senate possess that makes it unique as an institution?

The Senates job is to find common ground. Unfortunately the Senate we have working for the country now put theirselves and big money above the people. Perfect case is both the trump impeachment’s where they weren’t allowed to bring witnesses. The American people wanted the truth. The politicians wanted their jobs and getting voted back in was more important…
Same thing on the vote for the inquiry..

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for senators to have previous experience in government or politics?

Absolutely not. There’s to many lifetime politicians and they get to one sided. They need new people with new ideas and regular people not politicians…

What do you think of the filibuster?

If the 2 sides weren’t so divided over party lines it wouldn’t matter. They can’t think outside of the box and need us independents that think down the middle…

What criteria would you apply when deciding whether to confirm presidential appointees?

Facts only . It doesn’t matter to me what side of the isle your on. As long as your trustworthy and honest with integrity

If you are not a current senator, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

I like volunteering. And plan on volunteering even after I win

If you are a current senator, why did you join your current committees?

I love to see people succeed and whatever they want to do

Is there a particular senator, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Nope my run is about honesty and integrity

How would you evaluate a judicial nominee?

I think most judges do their best to follow the law the way they understand it. I don’t believe any judge should be partisan.

What kind of relationships would you build with other senators?

My Goal would be to help get the Senators working together. They don’t have to agree just find common ground..I’m very good at seeing both sides of the issues and finding the right answers based on facts

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Yes and I also believe there’s a solution for every problem. And we need people to work on that. Not special interest or worrying about getting voted back in
