Rep. Adams Statement on the Death of Rep. David Scott
WASHINGTON, DC-Today, Congresswoman Alma S. Adams, Ph.D. (D-NC-12) released a statement on the loss of Congressman David Scott of Georgia.
"I am deeply saddened by the news of my colleague Congressman David Scott's death. Representative Scott was the first Black Chair of the House Agriculture Committee where I had the privilege of working beside him as Vice Chair.
"During our time on the Agriculture Committee, we worked on policies supporting SNAP, nutrition, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
"Throughout his 23-year tenure in the House of Representatives, he has been a champion for HBCUs. As a proud graduate of Florida A&M University, he understood first-hand the importance of investing in our institutions. I will forever treasure our work together.
"Representative Scott was a trailblazer in many ways and led Georgia's 13th District with purpose. His service is indelible.
"I send my deepest condolences to his family members, loved ones, and constituents.
To Representative Scott: thank you. May you rest in perfect peace."
