Rep. Tony Gonzales Faces Runoff Election Amid Allegations and Controversy
Rep. Tony Gonzales, a South Texas Republican, is heading to a runoff election after failing to secure more than 50% of the vote in the recent primary. Allegations of an affair with a staffer have surrounded Gonzales, who denies any wrongdoing. Despite calls for his resignation from some House Republicans, Gonzales is facing firearms activist Brandon Herrera in the upcoming runoff. The voters in Texas' 23rd District will ultimately decide the GOP nominee in the runoff election.
