AFBF Statement on the Passing of Rep. David Scott

American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall commented today on the passing of Representative David Scott (D-Ga.).

"I'm deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Representative David Scott. Throughout his five decades of public service at the state level and then in Congress, Representative Scott kept the well-being of others at the center of his efforts. I had the pleasure of getting to know David during his time in the Georgia Assembly, and our relationship grew during his tenures as the ranking member and chair of the House Agriculture Committee.

"He was committed to improving conditions for America's farmers and was willing to reach across the aisle to get the job done. My prayers are with his family during this difficult time, and for the communities he served."
