Congressman Lloyd Doggett

In a time of great division, we should unite for a complete census count. Recently, at El Progreso Hall, to dedicate the new census office I joined the Tafolla Middle School Mariachis, Lanier High Color Guard, State Rep. Bernal, Commissioner Rodriguez, Councilmember Viagran, and former Councilmember Mary Alice Cisneros, and many others.

U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett speaks on the House floor regarding the strength of choosing peace—rather than following President Trump’s reckless path to war.

A new state law curbing surprise medical billing went into effect Jan. 1 for Texas patients. But to protect all patients, we need Congress to act too and to act now—to shield patients from crushing, surprise medical bills. I authored the first proposal to do so in the House, in 2015. It’s past time to overcome the powerful lobby groups and finally put patients first. My interview on our efforts with KXAN News over the holidays:

Every Senator takes an oath before an impeachment trial to “do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws.” That juror’s oath must be taken seriously. Watch my CNN interview on the need for a fair Senate trial:

WASHINGTON - With the U.S. House set for a long-awaited vote on legislation to lower prescription drug prices, U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett and allies came up short in their drive for an even more ambitious plan to expand government authority over the pharmaceutical industry.

In late May, I called for an inquiry to determine whether President Donald Trump had committed impeachable offenses after he reacted to the Mueller report with a Mafia-style defense. He insisted that, while President, he could neither be investigated nor prosecuted, that he is empowered to ignore Congress, and declared that the Constitution allows him to do “whatever” he wants. Trump seems intent on breaking the law most days; on others, he breaks and divides America with hate speech.
