Lloyd Doggett, U.S. Congressman representing Texas’ 37th district, has recently shared updates on his official Twitter account addressing tax policy, community advocacy, and support for health-related causes.
On May 14, 2026, Doggett criticized former President Donald Trump’s approach to tax audits and transparency, stating: “Trump once said tax dodging is a sport. Now that he controls the referees, he wants to end the game. He’s pushing to shut down audits into years he paid little or no taxes—while demanding $10 billion from taxpayers for the release of tax returns he should have voluntarily made”.
The following day, May 15, Doggett highlighted his family’s participation in an event supporting multiple sclerosis research: “Proud of Libby and our daughter Lisa for 150+ miles of cycling in MS150 with the Tacodeli team. More support to address Multiple Sclerosis, which impacts thousands of Americans. Thanks to Kitty Bird who professionally photographed the Austin start.”
Later on May 15, Doggett posted about a meeting with representatives from GAACC Austin: “Meeting with able advocates for the @GAACCAustin to discuss the harm of Trump regime policies for small businesses: President and CEO Mark Duval as well as board members Wan Kim, Minh Tran and Ahmed Moledina.”
Doggett has served in Congress since 1995 after succeeding J.J. Pickle and previously represented Texas in the state Senate from 1973 to 1985. He was born in Austin in 1946 and continues to reside there. In recent elections, Doggett won re-election by significant margins against Jenny Garcia Sharon both in 2022 and 2024. He holds both undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Texas at Austin.
