Rep. Lloyd Doggett: First Day of the New Congress

January 6, 2015

Washington is covered with a beautiful blanket of snow this morning. As the 114th Congress begins at noon, the view from my office displays scaffolding and what looks like a giant, white Band-Aid on the front of the Capitol dome— perhaps symbolic of this new Republican controlled Congress. Under conditions either good or bad, it is an honor to represent the families of our area and to strive to seek solutions to the challenges our country faces.
