佐治亚州众议员戴维·斯科特去世
Read, Watch or Listen
Atlanta — U.S. Rep. David Scott, 80, a Democrat who represented parts of metro Atlanta since 2003, died Wednesday. Scott had recently filed paperwork to seek a 13th term for the 13th Congressional District. He served in the Georgia legislature beginning in 1974 and was noted for chairing the House Agriculture Committee from 2021 to 2023. The death prompted tributes this week from Governor Brian Kemp, Senator Jon Ossoff, and Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, who cited his long service and advocacy for agriculture and consumer finance. With Scott having filed for re-election and facing primary challengers, his passing creates an immediate vacancy and shifts the timing and dynamics of the district's upcoming electoral contests.
