[11] With the district being made up of Wayne County, which Wiggam had represented as a commissioner for three terms, he defeated opponent David C. Kiefer by a 66% to 34% margin in the primary.

[15] Wayne County Common Pleas Court Judge Mark K. Wiest stated, "Some people believe Mr. Spoonamore is not qualified.

"[15] Wiggam refused to participate in a debate hosted by the Wayne County League of Women Voters, maintaining his argument that Spoonamore was not a legitimate candidate.

According to public campaign finance reports, Wiggam received $3,000 from the FirstEnergy PAC in 2019 and another $4,000 in 2020, as did dozens of other members of the Ohio General Assembly.

Despite formal opposition from the Orrville Utilities Board,[21] which represents a municipal-owned power plant in his district, Wiggam still voted in support of HB6.

[22] Despite receiving campaign money from First Energy Corp PAC, voting for HB6, and continuing to defend it after the alleged scandal was revealed, Wiggam was appointed to the Select Committee charged with reviewing and repealing the bill.

[23] After being appointed to the Select Committee, Wiggam accepted campaign contributions from American Electric Power PAC, which stands to benefit if HB6 is not repealed.

[24] In January 2019, Wiggam's former legislative aide Marissa Reyes wrote a two-page letter to her Ohio General Assembly Representative Kristin Boggs accusing certain GOP lawmakers and staff of racist and sexist comments.

[25] In the letter, also posted to her Twitter account, Reyes claims that during her time in Wiggam's office, "I had to endure months of unacceptable treatment and was forced to listen to the Representative’s opinions that painted myself, my family and other Hispanics in a demeaning light.

When I respectfully disagreed with the Representative about an issue, I was told that ‘women do not think logically, they think with their hearts not with their brains.’" At least some of the complaints were submitted to the House Administrative Office in Sept 2018.

In January 2019, the House Administrative Office released its findings, which found no legal wrongdoing, but resulted in a warning being issued to another legislative aide accused of discriminatory behavior in the complaint.

[29] Wiggam is a proponent of the death penalty and in August 2019 announced he would be sponsoring a bill to execute prisoners in Ohio with fentanyl, an illegal opioid.

[32][33] In November 2020, Wiggam posted about fraud in the 2020 US presidential election on Twitter, implying it could be “illegitimate.”[34] He stated that, “there are literally thousands of fraudulent reports coming in...”[35] He provided a link to an article from The Epoch Times, a far-right website known for spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories about QAnon.

[38] A complaint filed with the Ohio Elections Commission alleged that Scott Wiggam's campaign received valuable software at no cost from a right wing organization ALEC that assists conservative lawmakers.
