Doggett has represented Texas’s 37th District in Congress since replacing J.J. Pickle in 1995 and previously served in the Texas Senate from 1973 to 1985.

In recent elections, Doggett defeated Jenny Garcia Sharon by wide margins: in 2024 with over 74% of the vote and similarly strong results in previous cycles.
