What Our Neighbors Are Saying:
Lloyd Doggett continues to represent what is good for Texas and the country. I’m proud that he did not vote for the bailout. He is a champion of the honest, working, everyday folks.
Nio Pun
I want to thank Congressman Doggett for his strong support of health insurance reform. Because of the reforms enacted this year, our 2 year old daughter with a serious genetic condition can no longer be denied the right to quality healthcare coverage.
Edward Scruggs
Congressman Doggett had the courage to support health care reform because he really understands how easy it is to lose your coverage and how unworkable the system has been in recent decades. He’s always stood up for the interests of individuals, families and small businesses. I’m very proud of his statesmanlike approach to government service and his political intelligence in getting things done.
Carolyn Prescott
“I am a life long Austin Democrat and am so very proud to have Congressman Lloyd Doggett as my representative in Congress. I moved from the 10th District when it was created as I did not want that Congressman to say he was speaking for me. I totally support Lloyd Doggett for US Congress.”

“I can plainly see that there are not enough resources for the teachers or the students here in Austin. We need Perry to stop putting his politics in front of our children’s education and properly fund our schools so our children can get the education they deserve. I want to thank U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Austin, for standing up for the teachers and children of our great state.”
Robert Stephenson, Austin American-Statesman, Letter to the Editor, July 11, 2010
“I was so encouraged when Congress and the President recently enacted a financial reform act. In fact, I was very pleased to read about Congressman Lloyd Doggett’s strong support for these efforts in his recent piece in the Daily Record.”
Jon Leonard, San Marcos Daily Record, Letter to the Editor, July 20, 2010
“In addition to listening to the public, he goes to bat for requests from the cities, procuring government funds to assist in the Smithville Post Office upgrade and assisting in the move of the Bastrop Historical Society to a larger museum. I don’t accept ‘do nothing’ as a solution and I am glad Congressman Doggett doesn’t either.”
Anne Beck, Bastrop Advertiser
Letter to the Editor, October 24, 2009

Excerpts from Quorum Report: San Antonio Court Spends Morning Arguing Over Doggett and CD25
Vera said the dismantling of CD 25 had one motivation – to get rid of Doggett. “Look at the fragmentation of Travis County,” he said, “how can anyone justify that?”
Early morning talk in court on the second day of a pivotal status conference dealing with the in process interim maps centered on whether Congressman Lloyd Doggett’s CD 25 should be considered a protected crossover district under the preclearance section of the Voting Rights Act.
Attorney Renea Hicks, who is representing Travis County plaintiffs, told the San Antonio court that their counterparts in D.C. found that minority groups would lose influence if the state is allowed to swap in Anglo voters for minority voters in CD 25. That situation turns CD 25 into a district that cannot be dismantled because of the harm that would result for minority voters, Hicks argued.
QR readers will recall that the Legislature drastically reconfigured CD 25, to a degree where Doggett felt his only chance to win re-election was to run in a new Latino-dominated district running from San Antonio to Austin. The court-ordered interim map restored CD 25 as a crossover district anchored in Travis County but the compromise plan offered by Attorney General Greg Abbott restores the CD 25 from the state enacted map.
“Freedom from obligation to create” a crossover district, Hicks said, “does not equate to freedom to ignore a current situation that allows minorities a chance to elect a candidate of choice.” Read More »
