State Rep. Jasmine Clark, D-Lilburn, will challenge veteran incumbent U.S. Rep. David Scott in next year’s Democratic primary.
Clark, a microbiologist, said she wants to bring a science perspective to Democrats’ fight against Republican President Donald Trump’s agenda and to congressional Republicans who won’t stand up to the president.
Scott, who will turn 80 this month, was elected to the House in 2002 and is seeking his 12th term representing Georgia’s 13th Congressional District. This includes all of Rockdale County and parts of Gwinnett, DeKalb, Henry, Clayton, and Newton counties.
