U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX-37) announced that after serving in Congress for over 30 years, he will not seek re-election if the courts preserve the new district lines under the GOP’s mid-decade redistricted map.
The press release hit inboxes on Thursday, after the Texas House successfully passed the Republican five-seat gain congressional redistricting map. House Bill (HB) 4, which was delayed in its initial passage during the first special session due to a Texas House Democratic quorum break, remains one of the most polarizing issues in the state and across the country.
