Greetings,

I hope this message finds you well. As your Thirteenth Congressional District Representative, I want to share some important updates with you from the past several months:  

Congressman David Scott Introduces the Inclusion in Banking Act

This summer, I introduced bipartisan legislation to break down systemic barriers in banking. This bill will help the traditionally unbanked and underbanked into our banking system. You can read more about my Financial Inclusion in Banking Act HERE.

Still No Movement on the Bipartisan Farm Bill

As the Ranking Member of the House Committee on Agriculture, I have been concerned with the lack of movement on the Farm Bill from the Republican Majority. Speaker Johnson and Chairman Thompson stated that getting a bipartisan Farm Bill passed was a priority—yet there still has not been a full House voteonsuch bill. This comprehensive legislation is critical to our farmers, ranchers, and national security. . You can watch my full remarks from the full committee hearing HERE.

Fulton County Chairman Rob Pitts in DC

In June, it was a pleasure to meet with Fulton County Commission Chairman Pitts in DC. This lively discussion touched on some of the past and potential upcoming funding opportunities that the community needs to serve the people of GA-13 Congressional District. We are committed to collaborating and ensuring that more of your tax dollars are effectively utilized to benefit Fulton!

Congressman David Scott Leads Letter to Secretary Brad Raffensperger

At the beginning of the month I lead a letter to the Georgia Secretary of State, urging him to consider reforms to occupational licensing boards. These changes could help formerly incarcerated individuals find meaningful employment and strengthen the state’s workforce.

Congressman David Scott Signs on to Discharge Petition to Ban Bump Stocks

In July, I signed a House petition to push for a vote on the Closing the Bump Stock Loophole Act (H.R. 396). This bill aims to regulate bump stocks under the National Firearms Act, making them harder for dangerous individuals to obtain and helping to save lives.
