Doggett releases list of Travis County supporters while rival holds first Austin press conference
Leticia Hinojosa may be looking to become the first Hispanic female to represent Texas in the U.S. House but she says she hopes race does not dominate her Democratic primary battle with U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Austin).
Austin reporters got their first opportunity to quiz the former state district judge from McAllen this afternoon when she held a press conference to announce her candidacy for Congressional District 25 at the Nuevo Leon restaurant in east Austin.
At the same time, Doggett was releasing a list of 18 endorsements from Travis County political and community leaders.
Hispanics on the list included Travis County Commissioner Margaret Gomez, Austin City Council member Raul Alvarez, Travis County Attorney David Escamilla, and Del Valle ISD board members Paul Gonzalez, Gus Guerrero and Joe Vela.
