About Scott Bottoms

Scott Bottoms was an American politician and civil servant.

Scott T. Bottoms is an American politician who is a Colorado state representative from Colorado Springs. A Republican, Bottoms represents Colorado House of Representatives District 15, which includes much of eastern Colorado Springs and Cimarron Hills in El Paso County.

Background Bottoms, a United States Navy veteran, is the pastor of the Church At Briargate in Colorado Springs' Briargate neighborhood.

Political career Bottoms is considered one of the most conservative members in the state legislature. He has previously described himself as part of the political far-right and as "anti-establishment". Bottoms called abortion and transgender rights "demonic" while running for state representative in 2022. He has also falsely claimed that Planned Parenthood sells the body parts of aborted fetuses and that during the January 6 attack of the Capitol, the FBI "lured" the rioters into the building.

In May 2026, following Colorado Governor Jared Polis's commutation of the sentence of Tina Peters, convicted of multiple felonies for her involvement in attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election, Bottoms praised Polis's decision, claiming that Peters never committed any crimes, as well as promising to give Peters a full pardon and make it possible for her to sue the state of Colorado over her prosecution and conviction.

In January 20, 2025, Bottoms announced his candidacy for the 2026 Colorado gubernatorial election. Bottoms said there would "probably" be a role in his gubernatorial administration for Joe Oltmann, an antisemitic, conservative podcaster. 2024 Bottoms ran for re-election in 2024. In the Republican primary election held June 25, 2024, he ran unopposed. In the general election held November 5, 2024, Bottoms defeated his Democratic Party opponent, winning 57.99% of the vote.
