U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett to run in new proposed congressional district based in Austin
Manage episode 305019157 series 2582831
Lloyd Doggett, a longtime Democratic congressman from Austin, is running to represent a newly formed U.S. House district that encompasses much of the city. Doggett, 75, currently represents the 35th District, which stretches from East Austin to San Antonio. But now his sights are set on the 37th District, one of two new congressional seats drawn with new census data. Texas was awarded two additional U.S. House seats because of the state's rapid population growth over the past decade. Lawmakers still must sign off on the newly drawn congressional map, but the district would encompass 55% of Travis County and 10% of Williamson County, from the southern boundary of Travis County to just past its northern edge, stopping short of Cedar Park.
