Congressman Bobby Scott is currently serving his twelfth term in Congress from  the 3rd district in Virginia.

In his capacity as the most senior Democrat on the Committee, he is leading the fight for access to quality early, secondary and higher education for all of America’s children with an emphasis on solving the growing problem of student debt, closing the achievement gap and dismantling the School-to-Prison Pipeline, among many other issues on which he has been a leader and champion.
