Historical NoteReturn to Top

Scott Daniel McCoy was appointed to the Utah State Senate in 2005 following the resignation of Senator Paula Julander, and he was elected to the position in 2006. McCoy is the first openly gay state senator in Utah. Prior to his tenure in the senate, McCoy was the Executive Director for the Don't Amend Alliance, a group against a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage in Utah. McCoy attended William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri (B.A., 1992), George Washington University in Washington, D.C. (M.A., 1994) and the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York City (J.D., 2001). He resigned his senate seat in 2009.
