Washington, D.C.—Today, U.S. Representative Lloyd Doggett (D-Austin) released the following statement:
"To borrow from Mark Twain, the reports of my death, politically, are greatly exaggerated. This federal court order means that I have a renewed opportunity to continue serving the only town I have ever called home, as democracy faces greater challenges than at any point in my lifetime. CD-37, which I represent; CD-35, which Congressman Casar represents; and all other existing Texas congressional districts will remain unchanged for 2026. This is very good news for Texans, who should be entitled to accessible and accountable representation. While Ken Paxton and Greg Abbott are appealing directly to the U.S. Supreme Court, I am hopeful about the final outcome, likely announced this month, since even a Trump-appointed trial judge ruled against the Trump gerrymander.”
