He was born in Osterville, Massachusetts, on August 18, 1807. He had a paralysis in his right leg that made a naval career impossible.

Scudder was a member of the Massachusetts Senate 1846–1848 and served as Senate President.

Scudder was elected as a Whig to the Thirty-second and Thirty-third Congresses. His special interest while in Congress was American Fisheries. He served from March 4, 1851, until his resignation on March 4, 1854.

Scudder died in Barnstable, Massachusetts, on June 26, 1857, and was interred in Hillside Cemetery, Osterville.
