Today, House Agriculture Committee Ranking Member Angie Craig (MN-02) released the following statement. 

“Our hearts go out to Congressman and former Chairman David Scott’s wife Alfredia, family, friends and staff. He was a strong voice for Georgia’s farmers, hungry veterans and young people – who he helped shape into the next generation of agricultural leaders through his fierce advocacy for the 1890s Scholarship Program at historically Black colleges and universities. The House Agriculture Committee will remember him for his strong faith, kindness and dedication to our nation’s farmers and working people. May his memory be a blessing.”
