I was honored to join Mayor Adler, Chief Acevedo, survivors, supporters, and members of our community at Illuminate ATX to benefit SafePlace, an important organization which provides shelter and essential services to survivors of domestic and sexual violence in Austin.

Congressman Lloyd Doggett joined Mayor Adler, Mayor Pro Tem Tovo and the Austin Parks Foundation for It's My Park Day to kickoff a day of service. Austin is fortunate to have so many great parks, trails and green spaces that are supported by the work of so many dedicated volunteers across the city.

Rep. Doggett on this ruling - "Texans can breathe easier knowing that the biggest air polluters in the state must clean up their operations. As a neighbor once told me ‘Breathing isn’t an option!"

Congressman Lloyd Doggett recently received the highest score in Texas on the League of Conservation Voters Scorecard with a 97% rating. The Congressman said he was "pleased to receive the highest League of Conservation Voters rating in the Texas delegation for 2015, and maintain my 97% lifetime score for pro-environment votes."

Congressman Doggett "American taxpayers are getting ripped off, and Republicans don’t want you to know how much. Corporations that renounce their American citizenship to dodge taxes are not only putting more of the tax burden on American businesses and families. They are also adding substantially to our national debt.

The President’s Budget indicates that the “Administration is deeply concerned about rapidly growing prescription drug prices.” I believe it is essential that the Administration use every bit of authority it has under existing law to prevent price gouging. Financial ruin for the sick and dying is not the way to cure cancer or other dread diseases.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following multiple reports of widespread and systematic bribery of politicians and policymakers across Central and East Africa by British American Tobacco (BAT), U.S. Representative Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) and U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) are calling for an immediate investigation of BAT—the world’s second largest publicly-traded tobacco corporation.
