Lloyd Doggett, a U.S. Congressman representing Texas' 37th district, has recently shared his perspectives on various issues through a series of tweets. Doggett, who has been serving in Congress since 1995 after succeeding J.J. Pickle, continues to engage with both local and national matters.

On November 22, 2024, Doggett expressed concerns about the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) failure to provide adequate air traffic controllers and tools necessary for safety at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. He highlighted that there have been "five near-misses, near catastrophes" at the airport since September 2022. The full tweet can be viewed here.

Later that day, Doggett addressed the delay in the release of the FAFSA beta form by the Education Department. Originally expected on October 1st, it was made available in late November. He remarked that this timing is insufficient for students needing prompt answers but provided a link to access the form here.

On November 23, 2024, Doggett attended an event hosted by GAACC Austin where he met several community leaders and friends such as Ayaan Moledina and Rashed Islam. He celebrated their contributions to enriching the community with their talents and achievements. His reflections on this gathering are accessible here.
