Congressman Johnson on the Passing of Congressman David Scott

April 22, 2026 Press Release Congressman Hank Johnson released the following statement: WASHINGTON, D.C. -- “I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my dear friend and colleague, David Scott. He was a man of deep faith who constantly studied the Bible, but he was never pompous and was simply a regular guy. When I came to Congress, he took me under his wing, showed me the ropes, and offered me some guidance that I have carried with me and tried to follow. He was a good man, and I will miss him. My and Mereda’s prayers are with David’s wife Alfredia, his daughters Dayna and Marcye, and the entire family and staff during this difficult time.” ###
