The congressman supported new gun legislation after a school shooting in Uvalde, located in his district.
A censure allows the state’s Republican Party to prevent funding by the party to Gonzales’ future campaigns—unless required by law—and the congressman is “discouraged” from participating in the 2024 primary, the party added.Gonzales disagreed with resolutions supporting his censure and argued he has rarely voted outside of party lines.
“The reality is, I’ve taken almost 1,400 votes, and the bulk of those have been with the Republican Party,” he said Thursday,Gonzales is not the first Texas Republican to be censured by the party after supporting LGBTQ+ communities.
