Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) on Friday revealed that he will forgo a bid for reelection, putting to rest questions about his future that were triggered after Texas’s political maps were redrawn this year.
“I will continue working with the same urgency and determination as if next year were my last, which in public office it will be,” Doggett said in a press release announcing his retirement. “After that, I will seek new ways to join my neighbors in making a difference in the only town I have ever called home.”
