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.

The ultimate increase in wages for workers seems to be getting further and further away.
I am pleased that every amendment that we offered as Democrats trying to improve that bill was fully paid for.

This Committee, should it decide to make these records public, has powers that even the special counsel, Mr. Mueller, does not have
Let us send a strong, bipartisan message, not just to the White House, but to the Kremlin, by rejecting this favoritism toward Putin. Let's vote today as Members of the United States Congress, not the Russian Duma. Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Speaker…
Atrocities that are supported with American tax dollars. They fear that a bipartisan majority of this House would reject what has become a wretched stain on our Nation. Last month, this same group of Trump enablers buried consideration of…
The attitude was best captured by one pharmaceutical executive who within the last month said that he had a, ``moral requirement . . . to sell the product for the highest price.'' Today's two minor prescription drugs bills are being passed…
Her sister could not get coverage. Though she had substantial chemotherapy coverage, it was not enough to cover the full amount of the treatment that she needed. We cannot go back. These folks would drag us back along with the chief…
I would say, instead of taking these hostages and passing this bill, they need to build a great mirror and look in it to see how they have become willing accomplices to this wrongdoing. I bet Mexico would pay for that.
