Meet Scott Juceam

A Lifetime of Service. A Commitment to Community.

Scott Juceam

Scott Juceam and his family have lived in Simi Valley since 2015, where he has become deeply invested in the community and its future. His approach to leadership is grounded in accountability, preparation, and a genuine commitment to serving residents.

Born and raised in the Granada Hills and Northridge areas, Scott learned early the value of hard work, accountability, and building something through personal effort. These principles have guided his professional career and his approach to community service.

For more than 25 years, Scott has worked in tax resolution and financial advocacy, helping families and small businesses navigate complex financial challenges. He is the founder of The Tax Defense Group, a Simi Valley–based firm serving clients nationwide while remaining rooted in local values.

"Leadership means showing up, listening, and making decisions that protect residents, neighborhoods, and public trust."

Scott has been married to his wife, Lorena, for over 25 years. Together they have raised their family with a strong commitment to service, responsibility, and community involvement.

He has spent years working in public safety education and training, including participating in victimology instruction at the Sacramento Police Academy. In that role, Scott works with police cadets during their training, reinforcing preparation, professionalism, and respect for the responsibility of law enforcement.

Scott has consulted with all branches of the U.S. military, spoken before state legislatures, and assisted in training law enforcement officers and first responders across multiple states. These experiences shaped his belief in preparedness, accountability, and clear communication.

"Decisions guided by community input, not special interests."

Locally, Scott is known for being approachable, direct, and willing to step in to solve problems. He believes leadership means showing up, listening, and making decisions that protect residents, neighborhoods, and public trust.

Scott is running for Simi Valley City Council, District 4, to bring principled leadership, respect for public safety, and a community-first approach to City Hall.
