78-year-old Democratic U.S. Rep. David Scott represents the 13th Congressional District. He’s been in Congress for over two decades and faces at least six opponents in the primary election on May 21.

Some Rockdale County voters like Lakeesha Wallace did not allow the gloomy weather to stop them from going to the polls earlier this week. 

“Now, I’m a proponent for wisdom,” Wallace said. “But, you also have to understand when it’s time to pass the baton to the next generation.”
