Lloyd Doggett
The Public Record
Lloyd Alton Doggett is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Texas's 35th congressional district since January 3, 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously represented Texas's 10th congressional district from January 4, 1995, to 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.
The former Chief of Staff said he is certainly an authoritarian, admires people who are dictators, so he certainly falls into the general definition of fascism. Kelly also said that our President-elect has said that Hitler did some good…
A shelter offering housing to LGBTQ youth could be targeted. A Vietnam Veterans of America group that previously declared Trump's attacks on Gold Star families disgraceful and un- American could be targeted. Other possible targets might be…
I have a question for Mr. Beyer. The bill the gentleman has is the same one that the Senate passed 6 months ago. Has the gentleman been given any reason why the Republicans, if they are so eager to help the hostages, have held that bill…
This bill wrongfully seeks to codify Trump's one-state solution. Strangely, Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas completely agree on one subject, they want from the river to the sea. The only question is: Who gets to control and subjugates the…
Republicans are true masters, masters at naming bills that do exactly the opposite of what they say they do. They sure have the wrong name on this bill. They call it: End Chinese Domination Act. It ought to be called the ``guarantee act.''…
I invite my Texas colleagues, particularly, and others who may want to come up to honor our colleague, Sheila Jackson Lee. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor our colleague, Sheila Jackson Lee. It is strange to be here and not see her at a…
I offer a privileged resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 1366 Resolved, That the House has heard with profound sorrow of the death of the Honorable Sheila Jackson Lee, a…
Mr. President, please look at what's happened, recognize that the reality out there may not be the same thing you're hearing from the circle of your closest friends and family and consider putting our country first.
I think rather than some tests here or there, what I'd like to see is the President out actively engaging with journalists like you, answering the tough questions, demonstrating that he doesn't need a teleprompter.
I represent the heart of a congressional district, once represented by Lyndon Johnson. Under very different circumstances, he made the painful decision to withdraw. President Biden should do the same.
I think we would be better off if we had a new candidate who could present a new vision for our country.
I just feel that it's time for him to step aside if we were to be able to protect what he allowed us to gain in 2020, which was a victory for democracy.
I don't know. What I do know is that we're at serious risk of our government being taken over by a criminal and his gang, the democracy values that we cherish so much being lost to an authoritarian strongman.
This has been a problem for a year that our nominee has been lagging behind our strong Senate candidates in half a dozen key states, and no sign of significant improvement.
I remain hopeful... that he'll look at these numbers and realize that this is a hill just too high for him to climb and call on someone else.
Certainly, the stories that you have told today are compelling, and they focus new attention on this problem.
I thank the gentleman, and I know he shares my concern about this. I am eager to work with him on it. I appreciate his comments and will be delighted to work with him. Sometimes this offer to work ends and begins at once. So long as this…
I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of subtitle A of title VIII, insert the following new section: SEC. 8__. REVIEW PANEL ON FAIR…
In confronting rising antisemitism, we need equal concern about rising Islamophobia and hateful acts against Muslims.
So many of the chants and taunts since October 7 have fueled antisemitism, and the incidents that you described today are truly outrageous.
Unlike President Trump, I did not find good people on both sides. Rather, I saw dangerous racists and anti-Semites on one side.
