In an op-ed for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Congressman David Scott addressed ongoing political attacks against the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

“I refuse to accept that our nation is one where brave men and women can put on a uniform and put their lives on the line to fight in deadly wars only to return home and be left to fight another war alone: a personal war against poverty and hunger... Veteran hunger must be met not with apathy but with action,”  he wrote.

Congressman David Scott was joined by Senator Elizabeth Warren and members of the House of Representatives in sending a letter to the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) questioning the use of cruel and excessive solitary confinement within federal correctional facilities.
