Texas's 37th congressional district of theUnited States House of Representatives was created as a result of the2020 census.[3] The district is contained predominantly inTravis County with a small portion of southernWilliamson County, and consists of the majority of the city ofAustin as well as small areas of its suburbs. It is represented byLloyd Doggett.
From 1903 to 2005, the Austin area had been covered solely byTexas's 10th congressional district. It initially covered all of Travis County and areas from surrounding counties, but steadily shrank over time with Austin's explosive growth in the second half of the 20th century. By the 1990s, it had shrunk to Austin itself and its innermost suburbs. From 2005, the Austin areawas partitioned between several congressional districts, and the 10th's then-incumbent representative, DemocratLloyd Doggett, was forced to move first to the25th district from 2005–13 and then to the35th district from 2013–23, both of which contained both a portion of Austin and an extensive area outside of it.
After eighteen years of there being no Austin-centered district, the 37th district was created as of 2023, centered on the Austin area as the pre-2005 10th district had been.[4]
