Lloyd Alton Doggett is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Texas's 35th congressional district since January 3, 2013.

Throughout his career, Doggett has focused on issues such as healthcare, education, and economic justice, advocating for policies that support working families and promote social equity.
I think, if we keep working together, we can find ways to strengthen and improve this, but the main thing is for our families to get out there now. I think, increasingly, most folks are realizing, as you pointed out, with so many efforts…
I would just like to thank you for the work that you are doing on this, and I believe our real message is to the many people out there--some of whom may even think that this law has been repealed. They have tried so many times. As you…
so much of the original promise of the Affordable Healthcare Act has been undermined by faulty implementation that has sometimes been indifferent to local concerns.
crimes against Social Security cheat hardworking Americans and honest beneficiaries.
We need to be working to see that all Americans have access to a family doctor, to affordable health care.
I would rather like the people who are serving my meal to have gone to the doctor if they have the flu.
The underlying reasoning of those who would repeal the Affordable Health Care Act is not unlike those who say they are helping minimum wage workers by keeping the minimum wage at a minimum.
Next Monday, when our country honors an apostle of nonviolence, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Iran will begin reducing its nuclear stockpile. This important action is part of an international agreement to begin implementing the interim…
As a Member who has consistently voted to impose sanctions on Iran, I commend Secretaries Kerry and Sherman for an excellent job in seeking to safeguard our families through tough, persistent diplomacy with Iran. We should fully support…
This Thanksgiving as our family gathered joyfully for dinner, we thought not only of our happiness, but of the many families that can be torn apart by our broken immigration system. We gave thought to those who were gathered at that very…
While I am troubled by the determination of our Republican colleagues to destroy the rights of Americans to access affordable health care...
If there were even one Republican Member of this committee who wanted to fix the shortcomings in the act...
It makes it all the more important that the navigator system work as well as the Web system works.
Hopefully the Senate will respond to our strong show of bipartisan support by moving this legislation this year. I yield back the balance of my time.
At this time, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee). (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to revise and extend her remarks.)
Surely no Member of the House has expressed more interest in this subject than the founder of the Foster Youth Caucus, our colleague from California (Ms. Bass), to whom I yield 3 minutes.
Thank you, Chairman Reichert and Chairman Camp. Mr. Speaker, abused and neglected children in the foster care system are among the most vulnerable children in our communities. These children have the same needs, desires, and dreams as all…
We agreed to do that. The Speaker indicated that he had agreed to that, and then this Tea Party faction took control, the shutdown caucus.
We have said we will do that now if it will keep our government open and protect our families and avoid default, open the government. And it is that motion, not a motion to give us all that we have asked for, but a motion to take the…
Shutting down this House for the next 2 days--after shutting down the government--is truly an act of great irresponsibility. The threat to the security of our families grows with each hour of the government shutdown and with each hour that…
Ms. Pelosi has already cleared it. Who is objecting? Who is not clearing it? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is not recognized.
I would ask the gentlelady about the number of Federal employees you have in your area who remain unable to do their work.
Forty-four? One can lose count because they do every time you turn around. But I thank the gentlewoman from Florida and the gentlewoman from Hawaii. This totally unjustified shutdown must end, and we must stand for American families to…
I want to yield back to the gentlewoman from Hawaii and in doing so thanking her for this time. The reason that it is alleged that they would not continue to stand by the agreement that was made between the House and the Senate for this…
