(Original Post) Democrat Lloyd Doggett is a familiar name in Congress. After the GOP drawn redistricting map shifted his old congressional district 25 into conservative parts of Travis County, Doggett made the jump to run for the newly created Congressional District 35.
Congressional District 35 is sometimes jokingly called District I-35 since it follows the interstate linking San Antonio and Austin. Doggett faces Republican Susan Narvaiz, a former San Marcos mayor and small business owner.
She and Doggett follow their party lines on every major issue from abortion to same sex marriage and the Affordable Health Care Act. However, the new district that includes San Antonio is Democratic leaning, and could be an uphill battle for Narvaiz, who lacks name recognition and a decades of time spent in Congress.
