In the wake of a long-serving congressman's passing, Georgia's 13th District finds itself navigating the quiet but consequential work of democratic continuity. Marcye Scott, carrying both her father's legacy and her own decades of civic labor, and Everton Blair, a scholar-practitioner of public education, will meet again on August 25th after neither secured an outright majority in Tuesday's special election. The seat they seek to fill is brief in tenure but not in meaning — in a House divided by single digits, even a few weeks of representation can tip the scales of governance.
