✓ verified Primary Source [disclosure] Challenger Dr. Jasmine Clark revealed through open records that Scott had not voted in six consecutive elections, including the 2024 presidential election. When CBS News Atlanta confirmed this, Scott's campaign office did not respond to requests for comment. The most recent election Scott had voted in was the May 2024 Georgia primary, which he voted absentee — it appears he did not vote for himself in his own 2024 general election.
✓ verified Primary Source [disclosure] Scott was named one of the 25 'most corrupt' members of Congress in 2007 by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), citing 'allegations of tax evasion and misuse of official resources for political campaign activity.'
✓ verified Primary Source [disclosure] The Black Commentator named Scott 'the most non-representative Black person in the U.S. Congress' for voting with Republicans more than any other member of the Congressional Black Caucus. He was a member of the conservative Blue Dog Coalition, joined the New Democrat Coalition, and was one of only five House Democrats to vote to continue selling arms to Saudi Arabia for its intervention in Yemen.
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] Scott was ranked the 18th most bipartisan member of the House during the 114th Congress by the Lugar Center and the second most bipartisan from Georgia.
✓ verified Primary Source [disclosure] OpenSecrets records show that only 0.17% of Scott's 2024 campaign funds ($2,158) came from small individual donors under $200, while 89.50% came from PACs. Agriculture and financial industry PACs — including American Crystal Sugar, the National Cotton Council, and Fifth Third Bancorp — provided the vast majority of his campaign funds, not small donors from his district.
✓ verified Primary Source [platform] Scott was the ranking Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee and a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, representing a majority-Black district centered in suburban Atlanta with a poverty rate of approximately 9%. His official biography highlighted his advocacy for nutrition assistance programs and working families.
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] In May 2013, Scott's spokesman emailed ThinkProgress stating 'Congressman Scott fully supports marriage equality.' The Human Rights Campaign's profile lists this statement under his position on marriage equality. He later voted for the Respect for Marriage Act in December 2022, codifying federal recognition of same-sex and interracial marriages.
✓ verified Primary Source [vote] Scott supported and voted for two proposed constitutional amendments in 2004 and 2006 to ban same-sex marriage. His Wikipedia entry lists him as having supported these measures, which defined marriage as between one man and one woman.
✓ verified Primary Source Brave PAC is Scott's leadership PAC, which contributed $10,000 back to his own campaign committee in the 2024 cycle.
✓ verified Primary Source Scott sponsored or co-sponsored 31 earmarks totaling $38,828,000 in fiscal year 2010, ranking 103rd out of 435 representatives.

✓ verified Primary Source Top PAC contributors of $10,000 each included CME Group, Fifth Third Bancorp, AFLAC, Alabama Peanut Producers Assn, American Bankers Assn, American Crystal Sugar, AFSCME, Carpenters & Joiners Union, Coca-Cola, Dairy Farmers of America, Delta Air Lines, Ernst & Young, and Machinists/Aerospace Workers Union.
✓ verified Primary Source By sector, Finance/Insurance/Real Estate led with $401,351, followed by Agribusiness at $340,500, Labor at $89,000, and Ideology/Single-Issue at $58,066 — reflecting Scott's dual committee assignments on Agriculture (Ranking Member) and Financial Services.
✓ verified Primary Source Crop Production & Basic Processing was the top contributing industry at $116,000, followed by Commercial Banks at $110,450, Agricultural Services/Products at $107,000, Securities & Investment at $100,100, and Insurance at $75,000 — all overwhelmingly from PACs.
✓ verified Primary Source The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) was Scott's top contributor at $37,500 ($27,500 individual + $10,000 PAC) and the largest payor to his campaign committee at $40,597 through 65 payments in the 2024 cycle.
