Political positions
Online gambling
Scott is a staunch advocate of a federal prohibition of online poker. In 2006, he cosponsored H.R. 4777, the
Internet Gambling Prohibition Act[2] and voted for H.R. 4411, the Goodlatte-Leach Internet Gambling
Prohibition Act.[3] In 2008, he opposed H.R. 5767, the Payment Systems Protection Act (a bill that sought to
place a moratorium on enforcement of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act while the U.S.
Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve defined "unlawful Internet gambling").
Healthcare Reform
David Scott voted for healthcare reform. In the discussion leading up to his vote, Congressman Scott fielded
several different points of view. On August 6, 2009, Scott was confronted by a local doctor who claimed to live
in Scott's district. The doctor, who later appeared in subsequent debates with his opposition candidate, asked
Scott why he was going to vote for a health care plan similar to the plan implemented in Massachusetts and if he
supported a government-provided health care insurance option. Scott questioned whether or not the doctor was a
resident of Scott's district, although the local TV station WXIA-TV's news department confirmed that the doctor
did live and work in Scott's district.[4] Scott also noted that Dr. Hill had not called Scott's office for setting up a
meeting concerning health care but this has not been verified.[5]

Fiscal policy
Although Scott voted against the first version of the 2008 bailout, he backed the final version "after being
assured the legislation would aid homeowners facing foreclosures. Scott crafted an added provision dedicating
$14 billion to aid those homeowners."[6]
Same-sex marriage
Scott supported two failed of legislation in 2004 and 2006 that aimed to establish a constitutional amendment
banning same-sex marriage.[6][7] However, in May 2013 thinkprogress.org reported receiving an email from a
spokesman of Scott saying, 'Congressman Scott fully supports marriage equality.'[8] HRC's profile of Scott also
contains this sentence as his statement under 'position on marriage equality'.[9]
Iran deal
Scott has announced his opposition to the nuclear deal with Iran, saying that “It’s a good deal for Iran, for
Russia, China and probably Hezbollah, but is it not, definitely not a good deal for Israel or for the United States
or our allies – especially Jordan and Saudi Arabia . . . ” [10]
Personal life
David Scott is brother-in-law to baseball hall of fame member Hank Aaron.
In 1978 David Scott founded owned Dayn-Mark Advertising (from the names of his two daughters, Dayna and
Marcie), which places billboards and other forms of advertising in the Atlanta area. Scott's wife, Alfredia, now
heads the business. In May 2007, it was reported that the business owes more than $150,000 in back taxes and
penalties.[11] Scott's campaigns have paid the company more than $500,000 over the eight years totalling from
2002 until current date - for office rent, printing, T-shirts, and other services. He has also paid his wife, two
daughters, and son-in-law tens of thousands of dollars for campaign work such as fund raising and canvassing.
In 2007, Scott was named one of the 25 most corrupt members of Congress by the political watchdog group
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.[12]
Scott has allegedly received death threats over his support of the Affordable Care Act.[13] A swastika was found
spray painted on a sign outside of his congressional office in his congressional district.[14]

Healthcare Reform David Scott voted for healthcare reform. In the discussion leading up to his vote, Congressman Scott fielded several different points of view. On August 6, 2009, Scott was confronted by a local doctor who claimed to live in Scott's district. The doctor, who later appeared in subsequent debates with his opposition candidate, asked Scott why he was going to vote for a health care plan similar to the plan implemented in Massachusetts and if he supported a government-provided health care insurance option. Scott questioned whether or not the doctor was a resident of Scott's district, although the local TV station WXIA-TV's news department confirmed that the doctor did live and work in Scott's district.[4] Scott also noted that Dr. Hill had not called Scott's office for setting up a meeting concerning health care but this has not been verified.[5] David Scott (Georgia politician) - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Scott_(Georgia_politician) 2 of 5 3/15/2017 12:42 PM
