Marcye Scott, daughter of the late Democratic Representative David Scott, has lost a special election runoff to succeed her father for the remainder of his congressional term in Georgia's 13th District. Former teacher and Gwinnett County school board chairman Everton Blair defeated Scott despite her having led the first round of voting, meaning the seat will remain with a non-relative rather than staying in the Scott family. Blair's win restores voting representation to the heavily Democratic Atlanta-area district, which has had none since David Scott died in April, and adds a Democratic vote to the closely divided House for the remaining months of the current Congress.

David Scott represented the district for more than two decades before his death on 22 April at the age of 80, aged 80, while seeking a 13th term amid a competitive primary challenge. Scott had led the 28 July special election with about 46% of the vote to Blair's 38%, but fell short of the majority needed to avoid a runoff, which she then lost. Blair will only hold the seat until early January, as a separate contest for the full term beginning in 2027 was won in the primary by state representative Jasmine Clark, who will face Republican Jonathan Chavez in November's general election.
