He asks a young women sitting under a shade tree for her vote. She smiles and says, "I don't live in your district" Undaunted, Scott' asks her to "tell your friends about me." Even Scott admits he is conducting a "one-man campaign" managed by his wife, Alfreda Aaron Scott against the formidable Jack Stephens, who has represented the district for 16 years. "I'm forging new ground," Scott said, as he goes from door to door and talks to residents.

The incumbent received endorsements from the Southside Ministerial Association, the Atlanta Association of Educators and various labor groups. Scott has been supported by Salem, Antioch North, Greater Mt Calvary, Solid Rock, Providence, Tabernacle, Mornings-tar, Traveler's Rest, Mt Nebo and Macedonia Baptist churches.
