On April 6, Scott expressed support for the armed forces by stating, “There is no military like the United States military. God bless our troops. God bless America. “
The following day, he recognized Minority Health Month and his advocacy for related policies: “April is Minority Health Month, a time to recognize the importance of ensuring every American has the opportunity to live a healthy, full life. I’m proud to champion policies that invest in research, prevention, and support for the health challenges facing minority communities -“ (posted April 7).
Later on April 7, Scott announced new legislation aimed at supporting students during school closures: “I introduced the Kids in Classes Act to keep opportunity alive for every child – no matter the circumstances.
