Statement on Passing of Congressman David Scott

ATLANTA-Mayor Andre Dickens issued the following statement on the passing of Georgia Congressman David Scott.

"Atlanta joins the state of Georgia in mourning the passing of Congressman David Scott, one of Georgia's longest-serving voices in Washington D.C. and a tireless advocate for the people he served. For decades, he fought for Georgia farmers, advocated for our veterans and ensured his constituents were supported at the street level with job and health fairs, serving tens of thousands of Georgians over the years. His legacy is one of service, perseverance and deep commitment to this state. My thoughts are with his wife Alfredia Aaron, his children, extended family, his colleagues, and all who were impacted by his work."
