Scott Wiggam

State Representative

Scott Wiggam is serving his third term on the Wayne County Board of Commissioners. Since taking office he has worked toward a limited, more effective local government and has fulfilled his promises to the people of Wayne County through economic development initiatives, pro-agricultural policies, and conservative values.

Committed to Conservative Values

Since taking office, Commissioner Wiggam implemented conservative fiscal management policies that have helped to avert the need for tax increases. When sales taxes were last increased in 1993, local government spending grew an average of over 7% each year until 2005, despite average family incomes growing by only 3%. Since taking office in 2005, he has worked toward reducing expenditures by more than 10% in order to balance the budget. Commissioner Wiggam believes that keeping money in the pockets of the people is better for economic growth than higher taxes and rapid government growth.

Quality Economic Development for Wayne County

Commissioner Wiggam served on the Wayne Economic Development Council. He fulfilled a campaign promise by forming a task force of representatives from Wayne County businesses in order to create a more business-friendly environment within local government. As a result of input from the task force, Commissioner Wiggam successfully authored the county's Enterprise Zone Guideline update, which encourages local and new business growth and investment, helping to create more, higher paying jobs.

Scott Wiggam is a strong advocate for community involvement and service. He has served on the Wooster Area YMCA Board. He has also served on the Triway and Wooster Soccer Association Boards and coaches youth soccer. Wiggam is an active member in the County Commissioners Association of Ohio and organized the Association's 2005 Summer Meeting in Wooster. Wiggam is member of the Wayne County Farm Bureau, the National Rifle Association, The Heritage Foundation, and the Ohio Township Association.
