Doherty concedes: 'Gerrymander,' lack of money reasons for loss

AUSTIN - Democrat Larry Joe Doherty conceded late Tuesday night in his 10th Congressional race against U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Austin). District 10 spans from Travis to Harris counties, and Doherty said the district was intentionally drawn to make it difficult for a Democrat to win.  

“Harris County is the monster. That’s the end of the district that was designed to produce the result,” Doherty told reporters.

He didn’t congradulate McCaul in his remarks.

Doherty said McCaul was beatable, but it would take a $2 million budget to compete in the very expensive Houston media market.

His campaign, he said, grew over time from a grassroots campaign to a “nationally recognized, viable” campaign.  The DCCC added Doherty to its Red to Blue program and provided some assistance to his campaign.

“I’m thankful, not critical,” Doherty said of the DCCC’s support.

As for a future run, Doherty said he wasn’t even thinking two days ahead, let alone towards another race.

He was visibly disappointed with his race’s outcome.

“I’ve always said nothing feels better than winning and nothing hurts worse than losing,” he said.

He called his wife his “first volunteer.”

“If this didn’t break us up, I think we’re good for another 39 years,” Doherty said.
