已故佐治亚州民主党众议员戴维·斯科特之女马西·斯科特，周二在竞逐接替父亲完成佐治亚州第13国会选区剩余任期的特别选举决选中落败。该选区是民主党占绝对优势的选区，涵盖亚特兰大都会区部分区域。上月的首轮投票中，马西·斯科特曾处于领先位置。
前教师、格温内特县教育委员会主席埃弗顿·布莱尔击败斯科特。布莱尔将仅担任该席位至次年1月初，届时11月例行中期选举的获胜者将正式就职。
布莱尔也曾参与本届完整任期的民主党初选，但今年早些时候在初选中输给了佐治亚州州众议员贾斯敏·克拉克。克拉克将在11月与共和党人乔纳森·查韦斯角逐该席位，正式任期将于2027年1月开始。

戴维·斯科特在4月22日去世，享年80岁，此前他已担任该选区众议员二十余年。去世时，他正寻求第13个连任任期，并面临来自克拉克等人的激烈民主党初选挑战。

2024年，他在该选区获得约72%的选票，时任副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯在该选区的总统选举中也获得约71%的支持率，而总统唐纳德·特朗普仅获得约28%的选票。

马西·斯科特在7月28日的特别选举中获得约46%的选票，领先布莱尔的约38%，但未达到直接获胜所需的多数票，因此与布莱尔进入决选。她也因此进入周二的决选。

布莱尔的胜利将恢复佐治亚州民主党占绝对优势的第13国会选区的投票代表权，并为席位极其接近的众议院在第119届国会的最后几个月里增加一张民主党议员投票。根据美国众议院书记员办公室的信息，戴维·斯科特去世后，佐治亚州第13国会选区一直没有投票代表，不过其前任国会办公室仍在众议院书记员的监督下开放，为选民提供服务。

据布莱尔的竞选网站介绍，他拥有斯坦福大学和哈佛大学的研究生学位，曾在奥巴马政府的白宫教育卓越倡议项目工作，并于2018年成为该县教育委员会首位黑人委员，也是该委员会有史以来最年轻的委员。

Daughter of late House Dem loses runoff bid to finish father’s term

Marcye Scott fell short in her bid to briefly succeed her late father despite leading the first round of voting

Marcye Scott, the daughter of late Rep. David Scott, D-Ga., fell short Tuesday in her bid to succeed her father in Congress for the final few months of his term, despite leading the first-round of voting last month.
Former teacher and Gwinnett County school board chairman Everton Blair defeated Scott in the special election runoff for the remainder of David Scott’s term in Georgia’s heavily Democratic 13th Congressional District, which covers parts of metro Atlanta. Blair will hold the seat only through early January, when the winner of November’s regularly scheduled general election takes office.
Blair also ran in the primary to compete for a full-term, but lost to Democratic Georgia state representative Jasmine Clark in the primary earlier this year. Clark will battle Republican Jonathan Chavez in November for the seat, the official term for which will start in January 2027.

David Scott represented the district for more than two decades before dying April 22 at age 80. At the time of his death, he was seeking a 13th term and facing a competitive Democratic primary challenge from Clark and others.

In 2024, he carried the district with roughly 72% of the vote, while then-Vice President Kamala Harris won about 71% there in the presidential race, compared with roughly 28% for President Donald Trump.

Marcye Scott entered Tuesday’s runoff after leading the July 28 special election with roughly 46% of the vote, compared with about 38% for Blair, but fell short of the majority required to win outright, leading to the runoff against Blair.

Blair’s victory would restore voting representation to Georgia’s heavily Democratic 13th District and add another Democratic vote to the narrowly divided House for the final months of the 119th Congress. Georgia’s 13th District has been without voting representation since David Scott’s death, although his former congressional offices have remained open under the supervision of the House clerk to provide constituent services, according to the Office of the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives.

According to his campaign’s website, Blair earned graduate degrees from Stanford and Harvard, previously worked with the Obama administration’s White House Initiative on Educational Excellence and, in 2018, was the first Black and youngest-ever member elected to his county’s school board.
