[RandySF]

The daughter of the late U.S. Rep. David Scott (D-Ga.) said she will run in the special election to succeed her father.

The Georgia lawmaker died this month, after more than two decades in Congress.

Marcye Scott told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution this week that she was considering launching a political bid this cycle before her father’s death. She told the outlet she now sees the special election as a way to carry on his legacy.

“I would love to be able to fill in the gaps for him,” she told the AJC. “I’ve got the experience — I can tell you that I know everything about the 13th District, just like him.”
