About C. Scott Grow
C. Scott Grow is an Idaho native, a retired CPA, and the Republican State Senator for District 14 — representing Eagle, Gem County, and the communities of western Ada County. He is currently serving his fifth term in the Idaho Senate.
Scott chairs the Senate Finance Committee and co-chairs the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee — the Legislature’s most powerful budget body. In that role, he oversees the state’s $5.9 billion budget, sets revenue targets, and controls appropriations for every major state agency. It’s a position that demands exactly the kind of expertise Scott has spent his career building: four decades as a CPA, small business owner, tax expert, and financial consultant.
During the 2025 legislative session, Scott helped lead the most significant tax relief package in Idaho history — more than $400 million in cuts covering income taxes, property taxes, and grocery taxes. As Senate sponsor of House Bill 304, he delivered $100 million in direct property tax relief. The average Idaho homeowner will see their bill reduced by 14.6%.
On infrastructure, Scott has fought to fund the roads District 14 depends on: Highway 16, Highway 44, Chinden Blvd., Highway 55, and the 20/26 corridor. He helped secure a $1.25 billion state highway appropriation and $200 million for local roads. The projects are underway.
On education, Scott brings a perspective most legislators don’t have. He served two terms on the West Ada School Board — the largest school district in Idaho — and he and his wife Rhonda raised their eight children in Meridian. He supports strong education funding and parental rights, and he has zero tolerance for political agendas in Idaho classrooms.
Scott is a lifelong Idahoan, born in Boise and now living in Eagle with Rhonda. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting from Brigham Young University and holds professional designations as a CPA, Accredited Estate Planner, and Personal Financial Specialist.
He is endorsed by the Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry, the Idaho Farm Bureau, and the Idaho Fraternal Order of Police. He has signed the U.S. Term Limits pledge.
