U.S. Congressman Austin Scott (GA-08) today released the following statement on the recent storms and tornadoes that tore through counties in South Georgia located in Congressman Scott's district:

"My thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the recent storms in South Georgia, especially those who lost loved ones and property," said Congressman Austin Scott. "It is particularly distressing as the Eighth Congressional District is my hometown, and its constituents, my neighbors. But while the devastation is heartbreaking, I want to thank those who have already selflessly volunteered to offer mutual aid, our many first responders who worked through the storm and its aftermath to reduce the loss of life, and our Governor and President Trump who quickly pledged their support. My staff and I offer our support, and we will work with the Governor's office to ensure those in need receive assistance."
