Austin's KVUE News (ABC) reported last night that Congressman Lloyd Doggett has officially committed to supporting Barack Obama at the convention. Just a quick note, and apologies if this was already diaried. More below.
Doggett was supposed to have been redistricted out of office in Delay's power grab redistricting. Doggett ran an end around, and switched to a district that stretches from Austin all the way to the Rio Grande. Most of his constituents outside of Austin are Hispanic, but I'm not sure how the total population breaks down. But his progressive bona-fides are well established, and because he survived redistricting, his profile among Texas Dems. has never been higher.
