'At the end of the day, I will roll up my sleeves every single day, and anybody who wishes to challenge me, it’s a fool’s errand. I will run you to the deep end of the pool every single time and drown you, so I welcome it.'
Support for gun control and same-sex marriage led to a censure by the state's Republican party officials for Rep. Tony Gonzales. The District 23 congressman responded to his party's rebuke during a trip to the border on Monday.– U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales led a congressional delegation to the border in Eagle Pass on Monday,“At the end of the day, I will roll up my sleeves every single day, and anybody who wishes to challenge me, it’s a fool’s errand.
The censure is a formal disapproval that cuts Gonzales from state GOP funds and discourages him from running as a Republican in the primary election runoff. The penalties expire on May 28, 2024, the date of the primary runoff. Gonzales has voted against the majority of the Republican Party on a handful of issues. He was in favor of modest gun reform after the Uvalde shooting, in favor of same-sex marriage, the sole Republican to vote against a House Republican rules package, and disagreed with fellow Texas Republican U.S. Rep. Chip Roy’s border security measures.
