Blair edges out Scott’s daughter in Georgia 13th District special election

NBC News projects Everton Blair won the Georgia 13th District special election runoff to serve the remainder of Rep. David Scott’s term, defeating Scott’s daughter Marcye. Blair campaigned on progressive policies including a wealth tax, Medicare for All, universal childcare and Green New Deal–style investments, while Marcye framed the race as a continuation of her father’s legacy. The district remains deep-blue, with Jasmine Clark having won the regular primary and seen as the favorite in November; Blair’s win is unlikely to alter the House balance.
