Why I’m Running
Let’s make history together! I’m Allison Scott and I want to be the first-ever out transgender elected official in North Carolina!
I’m running for Asheville City Council because we need progressive solutions that are community-driven and rooted in equity.
One of Asheville’s biggest challenges – and one of my top priorities – is equitable, affordable housing for all, including our unhoused neighbors.
As a lifelong local, I will never stop fighting for a better, more livable Asheville.

My Asheville Roots
I am an Asheville fifth generation lifetime local who grew up in Oakley and Emma communities and attended Reynolds and Erwin High Schools along with AB Tech. My grandmother and I would take the bus downtown to the depot (now Pritchard Park) and eat at the Woolworth’s counter. A lot has changed in Asheville over the years but this remarkable city will always be my hometown.
My career has included working in Information Technology at Care Partners in Asheville, Rockwell Automation, Baldor Electric, and ABB. Recently I was excited to make the jump from the business world to non-profit work. For the past three and a half years I have served as the Director of Impact & Innovation at the Campaign for Southern Equality (CSE).
