Rep. Doggett on Texas Redistricting Ruling

Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Congressman Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) issued the following statement after a panel of three federal judges issued a ruling on the 2013 Texas congressional maps:

"The Court unanimously found that the Republican-drawn congressional map was intentionally discriminatory. What Republicans did was not just wrong, it was unconstitutional. Since the U.S. Supreme Court will have the final say, this extended struggle is not yet over. Unless the Supreme Court rules otherwise, I plan to seek reelection in the district that I currently represent. I will continue to remain fully accessible and accountable to my constituents in Bexar, Travis, Hays, Caldwell and the portions of the other counties that I serve."
