Lloyd Doggett, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas’ 37th district, has recently voiced his support for public education and criticized political leadership through a series of tweets. His posts focus on issues related to state funding for public schools and national economic policies.

On February 21, 2025, Doggett expressed solidarity with Daphne Hoffacker and the Austin Council of PTA in their efforts to defend public schools. He highlighted their participation in the Texas PTA Rally Day, emphasizing their commitment to seeking adequate state funding and opposing Governor Abbott's initiatives to redirect taxpayer money towards private academies. "Joining Daphne Hoffacker leading the Austin Council of PTA in defending our public schools..."

Later that day, Doggett critiqued former President Donald Trump’s promises regarding inflation control. He pointed out that despite Trump's campaign assurances to reduce prices immediately upon taking office, inflation remains an issue. Doggett further criticized Trump's governance focus on international matters as a distraction from domestic economic concerns. "Trump promised he would 'immediately bring prices down on Day One,' Instead," Inflation is back."

On February 22, 2025, Doggett announced his participation in an event with Ovidia Molina and the Texas State Teachers Association at First United Methodist Education Building. The gathering aimed to address Governor Abbott's handling of educational funding amid ongoing challenges faced by public schools in Texas. "Today from 11AM–1PM at First United Methodist Education Building, I'm joining Ovidia Molina..."
