In this tweet, Scott emphasizes the socioeconomic challenges facing veterans and reaffirms his commitment to preventing budgetary decisions that may adversely affect vulnerable populations.

Rep. David Scott has had a sustained emphasis on both honoring heritage and protecting community welfare, evident through his legislative work and public statements.
