Editing Lloyd Doggett (section)

== Tenure ==
Described as an "endangered species", Doggett was one of only three white male Democratic House members from Texas in the 113th Congress (the others being [[Gene Green]] and [[Beto O'Rourke]]) in a state with mostly Republicans and minority members of the Democratic Party.<ref name="Politico Doggett">{{cite news|title=Is Lloyd Doggett Texas toast?|author= Alex Isenstadt|url=http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0711/59034.html|newspaper= Politico}}</ref> Since Green's and O'Rourke's retirements after the [[2018 United States House of Representatives elections|2018 election]], Doggett is the only white male Democrat representing Texas in Congress. He is one of the most liberal white Democrats from a Southern district, and one of the most liberal people ever to represent Texas in Congress. David Hawkings of ''[[Roll Call]]'' described his tax and environmental policies as "muscular progressivism".<ref>{{cite news|title=Sober Look at the Depth Chart Intensifies for House Democrats|url=http://blogs.rollcall.com/hawkings/sober-look-at-the-depth-chart-intensifies-for-house-democrats/|newspaper= Roll Call |date=February 2, 2014}}</ref>

Doggett was a frequent critic of former Speaker [[Newt Gingrich]] while allying with [[David Bonior]], the Democratic whip, when Bonior was leading{{according to whom|date=March 2018}} "an effort to diminish Gingrich's power by raising continual questions about his ethics."<ref name="National Journal">{{cite web|url=http://www.nationaljournal.com/almanac/2010/person/lloyd-doggett-tx/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120111104841/http://www.nationaljournal.com/almanac/2010/person/lloyd-doggett-tx/|url-status=dead|archive-date=2012-01-11|title= Rep.

On the local level, Doggett helped ensure the development of the Austin Outpatient Clinic, which opened in 2011 as the largest veterans' clinic of its kind in the country.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.centraltexas.va.gov/pressreleases/AustinOPC_Groundbreaking.asp|title=Groundbreaking set for Friday, June 17, 2011 for new VA Outpatient Clinic in Austin - Central Texas Veterans Health Care System|first=Central Texas Veterans Health Care|last=System|website=CentralTexas.VA.gov|access-date=November 2, 2017}}</ref> In 2014, he secured passage of legislation to expand the [[San Antonio Missions National Historical Park|Missions National Park]] and supported it being named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://therivardreport.com/missions-national-historic-park-expansion-approved/|title=Missions National Historic Park Expansion Approved|website=TheRivardReport.com|date=December 23, 2014|access-date=November 2, 2017}}</ref>

Doggett has long supported more open government, and is also a leading advocate for campaign finance reform. On the Ways and Means Committee, he has sought to close many overseas tax shelters. Doggett has authored legislation to create tax incentives for [[plug-in hybrid]] electric vehicles and to create a nationwide Silver Alert system. From 2011 to 2016, he served as ranking member of the Human Resources Subcommittee and in 2017 became ranking member of the Tax Policy Subcommittee. His priorities there included education, health care, preventing child abuse, reducing prescription drug prices, fighting poverty, and eliminating multinational tax shelters and loopholes.

On July 2, 2024, Doggett became the first sitting Democrat in Congress to openly call for President [[Joe Biden]] to withdraw from the [[2024 United States presidential election]] after the first presidential debate, in which many perceived Biden performed poorly in, causing many Democrats to start being [[Age and health concerns about Joe Biden|concerned about Biden's age and cognitive ability]].
Before Doggett took this political risk he spoke with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California and Democratic leader [[Hakeem Jeffries]]. He also huddled with Rep. [[Steny Hoyer]] of Maryland and spoke with Rep. [[Jim Clyburn]] of South Carolina, a close ally of Biden's, and "with every other (House) member I could find." Doggett's message was clear: "We must have another candidate."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Moritz |first1=John |title=Lloyd Doggett had a long political life before his bombshell call for Joe Biden to withdraw |url=https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/state/2024/09/09/lloyd-doggett-career-texas-call-president-joe-biden-withdraw-2024-election/74956461007/ |access-date=September 9, 2024 |publisher=Austin American-Statesman |date=September 9, 2024}}</ref> Democrats had become doubtful of Biden's ability to defeat former President [[Donald Trump]] in the general election.<ref name="2 July 2024">{{cite news |last1=Amiri |first1=Farnoush |title=Rep.

After Trump's victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, regarding not calling on Biden to call it quits sooner, Doggett said, “I only regret I didn't do it earlier. I think it's unfortunate that he took three weeks to decide. I believe that the only person in our caucus who doesn't share some responsibility for the outcome is [[Dean Phillips]], who came out early. I accept responsibility as well that there's more that we could have done.” <ref>{{cite web |last1=Schnell |first1=Mychael |last2=Lillis |first2=Mike |title=Shellshocked Dems return to Capitol to reckon with drubbing |url=https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4987568-shellshocked-dems-return-to-capitol-to-reckon-with-drubbing/ |work=The Hill |access-date=13 November 2024 |date=12 November 2024}}</ref>

=== Political positions ===
;Abortion
Doggett supports legalization of abortion. In 2003, he voted against a bill that would have banned all late-term procedures called [[partial-birth abortions]]. He was given a 100% by the [[NARAL]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Lloyd Doggett on Abortion|url=http://www.ontheissues.org/TX/Lloyd_Doggett_Abortion.htm|access-date=March 12, 2010|publisher=Ontheissues.org}}</ref> He voted in favor of a bill to provide federal funding for [[embryonic stem cell research]] in 2007.

;Environment
Doggett supports environmental preservation. He is one of the leading opponents in the House of drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve in Alaska. The [[League of Conservation Voters]] gave Doggett a 100% rating,<ref>{{cite web|title=Lloyd Doggett on Environment|url=http://www.massscorecard.org/TX/Lloyd_Doggett_Environment.htm|url-status=usurped|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718193631/http://www.massscorecard.org/TX/Lloyd_Doggett_Environment.htm|archive-date=July 18, 2011|access-date=March 12, 2010|publisher=massscorecard.org|df=mdy-all}}</ref> an indication that he supports the group's interpretation of environmental preservation. In the 110th Congress (2007–08), he wrote climate change legislation that would have gone further to reduce greenhouse gases than bills his party's leaders supported.<ref>{{cite web|last=Doggett|first=Lloyd|date=November 19, 2008|title=H.R.6316 - 110th Congress (2007-2008): Climate Market, Auction, Trust & Trade Emissions Reduction System Act of 2008|url=https://www.congress.gov/bill/110th-congress/house-bill/6316|website=congress.gov}}</ref>

In June 2009, Doggett voted for the [[American Clean Energy and Security Act]], a bill that would have established an [[emissions trading]] system for American producers of carbon dioxide. He said, "It has been a difficult and significant decision". "I just decided that I will have a better chance to make changes later in the process if I acted in good faith now. But don't think this means I'm signing off on the conference report", he added.<ref>{{cite web|last=Lerer|first=Lisa|author2=Patrick O'Connor|date=2009-06-25|title=House passes climate-change bill|url=http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0609/24232.html|access-date=12 March 2010|publisher=Capitol News Company LLC}}</ref>

In 2018, Doggett was rated 100% by the group Clean Water Action.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Lloyd Doggett II's Political Summary|url=https://votesmart.org/candidate/21689/lloyd-doggett-ii#.W6vtQhMzZ5M|access-date=2018-09-26|website=Vote Smart|language=en-US}}</ref>

;Gay rights
Doggett voted against the [[Federal Marriage Amendment]] in the [[109th Congress]]. He voted against HR 4380 and HR 2587, bills that would have banned adoption by same-sex couples.<ref>{{cite web|title=Family and Children Issues|url=http://www.votesmart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=21689&type=category&category=31&go.x=10&go.y=15|access-date=12 March 2010|publisher=Votesmart}}</ref> In 1996, Doggett voted for the [[Defense of Marriage Act]] (DOMA), but in 2011 he co-sponsored the [[Respect for Marriage Act]], which would repeal DOMA.<ref>{{cite web|title=Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)|url=http://www.votesmart.org/issue_keyvote_detail.php?cs_id=8013&can_id=21689|access-date=March 12, 2010|publisher=votesmart.org}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Nadler|first=Jerrold|date=June 1, 2011|title=Cosponsors - H.R.1116 - 112th Congress (2011-2012): Respect for Marriage Act|url=https://www.congress.gov/bill/112th-congress/house-bill/01116/cosponsors|website=congress.gov}}</ref>

;Taxes
Doggett introduced legislation focused on restricting American companies from using overseas strategies to reduce their corporate tax rates. When Obama unveiled his plan in May 2009 to significantly change how U.S.-based multinationals are taxed, it included aspects of Doggett's proposals to crack down on tax dodgers.<ref>{{cite web|title=Obama Announces International Tax Crackdown|url=http://www.tax-news.com/news/Obama_Announces_International_Tax_Crackdown_____36605.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171017094045/https://www.tax-news.com/news/Obama_Announces_International_Tax_Crackdown_____36605.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=October 17, 2017|access-date=November 2, 2017|website=Tax-News.com}}</ref> He voted against the 2010 tax compromise, criticizing the renewal of the Bush tax cuts, saying "This bill is largely a mishmash of rejected Republican ideas that cost too much to accomplish too little."<ref>{{cite news|author=Alister Bull|date=December 17, 2010|title=Obama willing to fight the left if needed-White House|publisher=Reuters|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/obama-liberals-idUSN1711629920101217}}</ref> He led a group of Democrats who "criticized the inclusion of a Social Security payroll tax reduction, saying it would endanger the soundness of the program."<ref name="Washington Post" />

In 2010, Doggett was responsible for an amendment to an education jobs bill that would mandate that Texas keep the same amount of education funding for three years in order to receive $832 million in federal money. [[Rick Perry]] called it "an unconstitutional anti-Texas amendment" and later filed a lawsuit after the Department of Education declined the application for funds.<ref name="Washington Post" /><ref>{{cite news|author=Lisa Falkenberg|author-link=Lisa Falkenberg (journalist)|date=April 27, 2011|title=Lisa Falkenberg: Political chess match has schools as pawns|newspaper=Houston Chronicle|url=http://www.chron.com/news/falkenberg/article/Lisa-Falkenberg-Political-chess-match-has-1687551.php}}</ref>

In 2015, Doggett introduced legislation to close a loophole that allows tax writeoffs for senior executive bonuses, calling it "a perverse incentive for companies: the more you pay your executives, the less you'll pay in taxes."<ref>{{Cite web|last=Doggett|first=Lloyd|author-link=Lloyd Doggett|date=April 29, 2015|title=H.R.2103 - 114th Congress (2015-2016): Stop Subsidizing Multimillion Dollar Corporate Bonuses Act|url=https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/2103?r=1|access-date=June 18, 2019|website=Congress.gov|publisher=[[Library of Congress]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Kasperowicz|first=Pete|date=January 11, 2017|title=Democrats push to tax 'excessive' employee pay|work=[[The Washington Examiner]]|url=http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/democrats-push-to-tax-excessive-employee-pay/article/2611587|access-date=June 18, 2019}}</ref>

;Energy
Doggett has backed bills to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and supports cap-and-trade as well as clean technologies. He supported the 2009 climate-change bill, "despite claiming it didn't do enough to protect the environment." He said it stripped the EPA of too much power and was too beneficial to coal plants and "other polluters." Doggett supports auctioning carbon allowances, and has worked to make legislation usually associated with the House Ways and Means Committee to be associated with the Energy and Commerce Committee.<ref name="Washington Post" /><ref>{{cite news|title=Lloyd Doggett on Energy & Oil|newspaper=On The Issues|url=http://www.ontheissues.org/TX/Lloyd_Doggett_Energy_+_Oil.htm}}</ref>

In June 2015, Doggett voted against fast-track Trade Promotion Authority, calling it a "charter for corporate America rather than a high-level trade agreement." He criticized the U.S. Trade Representative for failing to enforce labor and environmental standards. "Usually, the reason that USTR fails is that it doesn't really try," he said. 'Asleep at the Wheel' is a great Texas swing band, but it is a horrible philosophy for trade law enforcement."<ref>{{cite web|title=US House Passes TPA 218-208 |date=Jun 18, 2015 |url=https://www.c-span.org/video/?326582-1/us-house-passes-tpa-218208|access-date=November 2, 2017|website=C-SPAN.org }}</ref>

In 2015, Doggett's continued interest in international affairs was reflected in his support for the [[Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action]] (JCPOA), the Iran nuclear deal. Together with Representatives [[David Price (American politician)|David Price]] and [[Jan Schakowsky]], Doggett organized a successful whip effort to ensure Congress did not obstruct nuclear negotiations with Iran.<ref>{{cite web|title=House Dems whip for Iran deal|url=http://www.politico.com/story/2015/07/house-democrats-whip-iran-deal-120642|access-date=November 2, 2017|website=Politico.com|date=July 27, 2015 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=The odds of an Iran nuclear deal just got better|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2015/05/07/the-odds-of-an-iran-nuclear-deal-just-got-higher/|access-date=November 2, 2017|newspaper=The Washington Post}}</ref>

;Health care
In March 2010, Doggett voted for the [[Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act]]. Before his vote, he cited concerns that the bill did not include enough affordability, insurance competition provisions, and consumer protection provisions. Originally an advocate of a public option, he conceded the option in the final vote.<ref name="Washington Post" />

In 2015, Congress passed Doggett's NOTICE Act, which ensures that hospitalized seniors are notified whether they are in outpatient observation or inpatient care, saving them the sticker shock from realizing Medicare may not cover their skilled nursing facility care as expected. Doggett sponsored the Medicare Identity Theft Prevention Act, which was enacted in 2015 and protects seniors from identity theft by removing Social Security numbers from Medicare cards. Another of Doggett's sponsored bills, the Ensuring Access to Clinical Trials Act, was enacted that same year. It allows patients with rare diseases to receive some compensation for clinical trial participation, without that compensation counting toward income eligibility limits for Social Security income or Medicaid.<ref>{{cite web|last=Doggett|first=Lloyd|date=August 6, 2015|title=H.R.876 - 114th Congress (2015-2016): NOTICE Act|url=https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/876|website=congress.gov}}</ref>

Doggett has said Republicans in Congress and "ideological groups that have never accepted the idea of social insurance" pose a greater threat to Social Security than the country's aging population.<ref>{{cite web|title=- MAINTAINING THE DISABILITY INSURANCE TRUST FUND'S SOLVENCY|url=https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CHRG-114hhrg21288/html/CHRG-114hhrg21288.htm|access-date=November 2, 2017|website=GPO.gov}}</ref>

;Criticism of healthcare opponents
In August 2009, a "rally" against Obamacare broke out after Doggett said that he would support it even if his constituents opposed it. The protesters, who chanted "just say no", were later criticized by Doggett, who called them a "mob" and "extremists", and said the group was part of the "party of no."<ref>{{cite news|author=Situation Room|date=August 6, 2009|title=Interview with Rep. Lloyd Doggett|newspaper=Real Clear Politics|url=http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/08/06/interview_with_rep_lloyd_doggett_97818.html}}</ref> Of the situation, he said: "Their fanatical insistence on repealing Social Security and Medicare is not just about halting health care reform but rolling back 75 years of progress." Doggett said he was committed to individual choices.

Doggett reportedly tried to answer questions, but felt the demonstrators opposed all government programs, including Social Security and Medicare, in addition to the health care plan. He said that "[i]n Texas, not only with the weather but with the politics, it is pretty hardball around here ... I have a pretty thick skin about all of this. But this really goes over the line.'"<ref>{{cite news|author=David M.

;Immigration
Doggett supports a guest worker program for [[undocumented immigration to the United States|undocumented immigrants]]. In 2004, he voted against a bill that would have required hospitals to report undocumented immigrants who received hospital treatment to the Department of Justice. The [[Federation for American Immigration Reform]] (FAIR), an [[opposition to immigration|anti-immigration]] organization classified by the [[Southern Poverty Law Center]] as a [[hate group]],<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/federation-american-immigration-reform|title=Federation for American Immigration Reform|work=Southern Poverty Law Center|access-date=2021-12-15|language=en}}</ref> gave Doggett a score of 0% – indicating the percentage of times he voted in favor of FAIR's positions – in 2003.<ref>{{cite web|title=Lloyd Doggett on Immigration|url=http://www.ontheissues.org/TX/Lloyd_Doggett_Immigration.htm|access-date=March 12, 2010|publisher=OnTheIssues.org}}</ref>

;Iraq
Doggett was one of the leading opponents of the authorization of the [[Iraq War]] in 2003 and called for a timetable for U.S. troops pulling out of Iraq. On May 24, 2007, he was one of 140 Democrats and two Republicans to vote against HR 2206, a bill that would provide emergency supplemental appropriations for funding the war, and in 2009 he was one of only 30 representatives to vote against HR 2346, which provided funding to continue war.<ref>{{cite web|last=Scahill|first=Jeremy|date=2009-06-17|title=Shame: The 'Anti-War' Democrats Who Sold Out|url=http://www.alternet.org/story/140715/shame%3A_the_%27anti-war%27_democrats_who_sold_out/|access-date=March 12, 2010|publisher=Alternet}}</ref>{{Better source needed|date=March 2021}}
