GA-13: Here's what happens next in Democratic Rep. David Scott's seat

Democratic Rep. David Scott died Wednesday at the age of 80, a development that came following years of scrutiny about his physical and mental health.

Scott was seeking reelection to Georgia’s 13th Congressional District, a heavily Democratic seat that includes Atlanta’s southeastern and outer northeastern suburbs, despite calls for him to step aside after 12 terms in office.

Six fellow Democrats were challenging Scott in a May 19 primary where the issue of generational change was at the forefront.

Everton Blair, a 33-year-old former Gwinnett County Board of Education chair, launched his bid last year by arguing it was “time for the next generation to step up and correct the direction that this country is headed.”
