David Scott has accepted documented donations from sectors with material interests in "Publicly accessible in-person town halls in his district" but has no public statement, vote, or hearing record on the topic. Expected position: As a congressman representing GA-13 since 2003 and the ranking Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee, Scott would be expected to hold regular, publicly accessible, in-person town hall meetings where constituents can ask unscripted questions. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Scott famously berated a constituent doctor at a 2009 town hall over healthcare questions, then largely retreated from in-person public forums. Searches reveal no recent open in-person town halls. Primary challengers cited his lack of accessibility as a concern, and Politico reported that he 'has seldom given interviews' in his final term, reading from scripts even in private meetings. Constituents reported difficulty engaging with him on issues like the 2024 election non-vote and his Agriculture Committee decisions.
