Latest News About Congressman David Scott

Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:

• Representative David Scott, a Georgia Democrat who represented GA-13, has died at age 80. He was serving his 13th term and was a notable figure as the first Black chair of the House Agriculture Committee; his death occurred while he was seeking re-election.[2][4]

• His passing creates a vacancy in Georgia’s delegation and slightly shifts the House balance in a year already crowded with primary challenges and aging leadership discussions within the party.[4][2]

• Public remembrances and tributes flowed from House colleagues and leaders, with statements expressing sadness over his long service and impact on farm policy and hunger programs.[4]

If you’d like, I can summarize the key biographical details, provide a quick timeline of his congressional career, or pull the most relevant local coverage from Atlanta-area outlets. I can also look up current vacancy procedures or upcoming special elections in Georgia’s 13th district if you want. Please tell me which angle you’d prefer.
