Best of Austin 2012

Longtime Austin Congressman Doggett has been targeted so many times by GOP redistricters that he has his mail sent to "General Delivery, Texas." This time they strung him out along I-35 to San Antonio – where he inspired a new generation of loyal Doggett supporters. We're happy to share him with the other River City, as long as his roots remain here – and we can celebrate the defeat of the DeLayers one more time. Doggett's been under sustained political and personal attack all those years, while still fighting the good fight for health care, education, and the interests of all Texans – it’s understandable he’s now won “Best Elected Official” seven times. The elephants have failed to defeat him, and more importantly, Doggett continues to fight for peace, justice, and equity – always with relentless energy and real courage.
