In 1918 he married Dorothy Stimson, a young woman from a wealthy Seattle family. He was passionate about politics and, unlike his in-laws the Stimsons, he was a Democrat. He organized the Democratic party in Washington state and ran for both senator and governor, but was unsuccessful. A. Scott Bullitt served as national committeeman of the Democratic Party and was scheduled to nominate his friend Franklin Delano Roosevelt for president when he died of liver cancer in 1932. His wife Dorothy Stimson Bullitt took his place as delegate at the national convention in Chicago. |

In 1932 she partnered with Richard Anderson; they continued to work together until she retired in 1954 due to her failing eyesight. She died in 1965 at the age of 102.
