Georgia special-election runoff set as Scott’s seat narrows to two Democrats

Marcye Scott, the late Rep. David Scott’s daughter, and Everton Blair advanced to a runoff in Georgia’s 13th District to fill the remainder of Scott’s term after his death, in a five-candidate special primary that did not produce a majority winner (about 80% of votes counted: Scott ~47%, Blair ~37%). Jasmine Clark won the Democratic primary for the district’s January term, while the runoff will determine who holds the seat for the rest of 2026 in a solid blue metro Atlanta district.
