Congressman Scott served in the Georgia General Assembly from 1975 to 2003, when he was elected to Georgia's 13^th Congressional District

Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (D-GA) released the following statement on the passing of long-time Georgia Congressman David Scott (D-GA-13).

"David Scott was a Georgian's Georgian. For decades, Congressman Scott was the embodiment of public service in our state. Throughout his years in the Georgia General Assembly and later in the U.S. Congress, he made uplifting and supporting the people of Georgia his top priority.

I join the millions of Georgians who are surely mourning him today, and my condolences are with his family and friends during this difficult time.

There is no doubt that our state is better off because of everything David Scott accomplished through his 50-plus years of public service; he will be deeply missed."
