Press releases issued:

Representative Scott's website is littered with press releases, mainly consisting of credit claiming and position taking. The whole thing is very simplified and looks like eyewash.

• Rep. Bobby Scott joined the Chesapeake Democratic Women at their 9th annual crabfest on August 4th. Great seeing everyone there.
