In the redistricting process that followed the 2010 census, Doughty's home was placed in the 26th district, along with that of House Minority Leader David Litvack. A contested Democratic primary between the two incumbents seemed to be on the cards until, in March 2012, Litvack announced that he would retire rather than seek re-election.[3] Doughty lost his bid for re-election in the new district at the Salt Lake County Convention.
Doughty is openly gay and previously served on the board of Equality Utah.[1][4]
