and was happy to see that too!

but he came in amazingly strong at 74 % of the vote

SAN ANTONIO -- Bexar County Tax Assessor-Collector Sylvia Romo has conceded to longtime Austin Congressman Lloyd Doggett in the Democratic race for the newly-drawn District 35.

Doggett received the call on his cell phone early Tuesday night with less than 10 percent of precincts accounted for.

As of 8:50 p.m., Doggett led the race with 74 percent of votes; followed by Romo with 24 percent; and Maria Luisa Alvarado with 6 percent.

Redistricting played a big role in the new U.S. House District 35 race. The district runs from Downtown Austin to Downtown San Antonio.

It was expected to be a close match-up between incumbent Lloyd Doggett, from Austin, and Bexar County Tax Assessor Sylvia Romo of San Antonio.

But Romo conceded to Doggett Tuesday evening as his lead became insurmountable.

I too was re-districted out of his district and couldn't even vote for him. And once again I will consider him my Congressman.

Thank you Austin voters!

helped Austin out. Doggett works hard for his constituents! I am grateful to all the Central Texas voters who helped us keep the treasure we have in Lloyd Doggett!

AUSTIN (KXAN) - Democratic Congressman Lloyd Doggett breezed past two challengers Tuesday in the Democratic primary despite being forced to compete on an unfamiliar battlefield.

In incomplete and unofficial returns, Doggett was holding a wide edge in both his native Travis County and in Bexar County, where he faced down a challenge fromthe county tax assessor-collector, Sylvia Romo.

Doggett was rolling up just under 70 percent to Romo's 25 percent. Longshot Maria Luisa Alvarado was far off the pace in the three person race. Romo conceded the race before 9 p.m.

It's been a long time since Lloyd was my congressman, but he still has my respect. Considering who my congress critter is, I say that he still is my congressman and one of the best that we have in the state.

and realized that I couldn't vote for Lloyd anymore. I also am worried that there were 2 Repuke election judges there to our one Dem. election judge. Anyway I am smiling knowing that Doggett still won without my vote. Damn redistricting!

It's criminal they way the Lege sliced up Austin! Glad we kept Lloyd in spite of that garbage.

Around my neighborhood there were tons of Doggett signs. Where a friend of mine lives, every other house on the block had a Doggett sign in their yard.

can still vote for Lloyd! Congrats!

in that club. Welcome!
