Congressman Lloyd Doggett, the incumbent representative for Congressional District 35, said he is gearing up for anticipated legislative battles.
“I’m really running to resist Trump, reflect our Austin values and be in a position there in Congress with my seniority to make a difference in the struggle ahead,” Doggett said.
Doggett has been a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 23 years and is currently running for his 13th term. He was previously a Texas state senator.
Doggett, a Democrat, said he is committed to fighting measures in Congress that go against his beliefs.
“I think it’s essential that we push back every day in every nonviolent way against the constant effort to erode our democracy,” Doggett said.
