Congressman Doggett Continuing Work to Make All Levels of Government More Accessible

Congressman Doggett has been a long-time advocate of open government—of making all levels of government more accessible to the people they represent. As a Texas State Senator, he sought more public participation and open decision-making, as a Justice on the Texas Supreme Court, his work to make some of the workings of our justice system more open, won him a James Madison Award by the Freedom of Information Foundation of Texas, and the First Amendment Award from the National Society of Professional Journalists.
