Congressman Doggett Will Not Attend the Inauguration

Washington—Today, Congressman Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), senior member of the Ways & Means Committee and ranking member of the Subcommittee on Tax Policy, said he will not attend the Inauguration. He stated:

"We are sending a message to Mr. Trump. Respect, like Pennsylvania Avenue, is a two-way street. Instead of uniting our country, his continued unprecedented, unpresidential actions are further dividing it. By repeatedly taking the lowest road, he is not showing respect for the highest office. We are in for a long struggle that must strategically utilize every nonviolent opposition tool available."
