Scott T. Rupp (born October 17, 1973) is a former Republican member of the Missouri Senate, representing the 2nd District from 2006 to 2014. Previously he was a member of the Missouri House of Representatives from 2002 through 2006. In the Missouri Senate, Rupp represented all of Lincoln County and portions of St. Charles County. Elected to the Missouri Senate in a special election in April 2006, Scott was re-elected in November 2006 to serve his first full term. He was re-elected in November 2010 to his second full term in the Missouri Senate. Previously, he was twice elected to represent the citizens of northwest St. Charles County in the Missouri House of Representatives and received more than 65 percent of the vote in 2002 and 2004. In 2014 Rupp could not run for re-election due to term limits. In April 2014 he retired early to take a position on the Missouri Public Service Commission.^[1]

Rupp was born in Peoria, Illinois, the youngest of five children. His parents, Chester and Eleanor Rupp, moved the family to St. Charles when Scott was 10 years old. He graduated with honors from Duchesne High School in St. Charles, Missouri. After graduating high school, he supported himself while attending the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri. In 1995, after graduating with a political science degree, he started a small business. He and his brother, Gregory, founded a college preparatory company, Educational Funding & Financial Aid Specialists, in which they assisted parents of high school students in preparing their children for college. A former investment representative, he also founded the investment firm Rupp & Associates. He also started a mortgage brokerage called Educational Financing Company, which specialized in loans for parents of college-bound students. Upon his election to the Missouri Senate, he sold his businesses and took a position with UMB Bank in O'Fallon, where he is currently vice president of business development, specializing in commercial lending. ^{[citation needed]}
