(Community Matters) Once again Congressman Doggett sent voters a misleading video and email. Ignoring subsequent, public clarifications about the testimony cited in his CD-35 boundary video, it’s just another example of an iconic politician losing his way, violating his principles & ethics to hold onto something he now believes is his, rather than realizing we’re all simply entrusted with these positions of responsibility and authority.

The author of the blog piece cited in Congressman Doggett’s campaign email is a friend and important community leader. Regrettably, the posting ignores the clarification and is misleading. There’s an even bigger, more serious issue here, however. The Doggett campaign has been leading, encouraging and using a public payroll external affairs officer tasked with maintaining federal relations  in their campaign, another breach of discretion and principles (if not more serious).

Sad to see Lloyd succumb to these practices. All of us hate the GOP slash & burn redistricting. I’m hoping CD25 & CD35 are both restored to D majority districts and Travis County gains even more representation. But, watching a 40 year elected official trample all over his own principles to hold onto an office  . . . .
