Georgia state Sen. Emanuel Jones filed paperwork to challenge Rep. David Scott (D-GA) in the 2026 primary election for Georgia 's 13th Congressional District, which covers portions of the Atlanta metro area.

Scott served as chairman of the House Agricultural Committee from 2021 to 2023 before a stint as ranking member for the next two years .

Scott reportedly called a news photographer an "a--hole" in December 2024 for taking his picture outside the Capitol as he was being wheeled in on a wheelchair.
