Lloyd Doggett, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas’ 37th district since 1995, has shared several statements via social media concerning recent political and personal events. Doggett, who succeeded J.J. Pickle in Congress and previously served in the Texas Senate from 1973 to 1985, posted on May 19, 2025.
In a tweet posted at 01:01 UTC, Doggett expressed support for President Biden amidst his health challenges: “The Biden family is in our prayers, as President Biden battles a serious prostate cancer diagnosis. We extend hope for a full recovery.”
Later that day, at 02:18 UTC, Doggett commented on ongoing Republican discussions regarding legislative matters: “At 10:20 pm, Republicans are still arguing over the ugly details of their ‘one big beautiful bill’ in a room adjacent to the committee as we wait for the 10 pm scheduled meeting to begin.”
Subsequently, at 02:35 UTC, he noted developments within the Budget Committee meeting: “Budget Committee finally convenes, but GOP Budget Chair Arrington says he cannot explain any changes that have been made in order to change previous negative GOP votes. No transparency on what has happened in any back room deals.”
Doggett was born in Austin, Texas in 1946 and currently resides there. He graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with both a BA and JD by 1970.
