What’s on your mind about Pima County Government? Pima County District 1 Supervisor Rex Scott is happy to discuss anything related to Pima County government. Come with your questions!
Biography: Pima County Supervisor Rex Scott was first elected to represent District One in 2020 and was re-elected in 2024. He has been married to a fellow career educator since 1994 and they are the parents of adult twins. For most of those years, the family has lived in District One and the twins are graduates of Mountain View High School in the Marana Unified School District.
Supervisor Scott grew up in Athens, Ohio and earned two bachelor’s degrees from Ohio University, which is in Athens. In 1987, at the age of 24, he became the first Ohio University student elected to serve on Athens City Council. He was re-elected in 1989, chaired the Finance Committee in his second term and joined with two of his colleagues to start the city’s curbside recycling program.
In 1991, Supervisor Scott moved to Pima County to take a position teaching social studies at Flowing Wells Junior High School, one of three schools in District One that he served during his career as a public-school educator. In 2000, Supervisor Scott began his 19-year career as an administrator working in both middle and high schools. During that time, he was an assistant principal at Ironwood Ridge High School and the principal at Tortolita Middle School, both District One schools.
In his free time, Supervisor Scott enjoys spending time with family and friends, hiking in our beautiful deserts and mountains, running on The Loop or in Sabino Canyon and reading. He is a longtime fan of the Cincinnati Reds and Miami Dolphins, which helps him to practice patience! The book that has influenced his values and beliefs more than any other is Man’s Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl.
Our latest Events Around Town (EAT) was popping—and our Rotarians were too! 🍴🎉
This month, we spread the EAT love across Tucson, with Rotarians gathering at Redbird Scratch Kitchen, Uptown Burger, Gibson’s, Biergarten, and Terraza Patio. Different venues, different menus, and plenty of personalities around the tables made for one delicious afternoon of food, fun, and fellowship.
There was no podium to face, no agenda to follow, and definitely no need to check the clock. Instead, our members pulled up a chair, dug in, caught up with friends, made new connections, swapped stories, shared ideas, and enjoyed a few laughs along the way. In other words, exactly what EAT was made for!
The best part? Every location had its own flavor, but the secret ingredient was the same—Rotary fellowship. From burgers to bites, brews to beautiful patio conversations, our members proved once again that great connections can happen just about anywhere there’s a table and good company.
A huge thank you to everyone who hosted, organized, and joined us. You helped make this month’s EAT one for the books—and possibly one for the dessert menu, too! 😉
If you missed this round, don’t worry—you haven’t missed your last bite. The next EAT is already cooking! So keep your calendar handy, your appetite ready, and your sense of adventure switched on.
Because when Rotarians get together, the food may be good, but the company is always the main course!
Our new Rotary Youth Exchange student, Hongjin "Kevin" Kim arrived in Tucson and was greeted at the airport by President Bobby Larson, his host parents, Leo and Lucy Lawrenson, and our D5500 YE Chair Cindy Dooling. Kevin is from near Seoul, So. Korea, and will be a junior at Ironwood Ridge High School in Oro Valley. We're looking for two more host families (for 3-4 months each); if you know of someone who might be interested, please let Jeanne Zetah or Thomas Robertson know. Welcome to Tucson Kevin!
