After Tuesday's nail-biter, Republican incumbent Tony Gonzales eventually took the runoff win for U.S. District 23 by just 407 votes. The race was filled with attack ads between Gonzales and social media content creator and political newcomer Brandon Herrera.

Look what she made her do: Taylor Swift fan from San Antonio flying to Germany to see pop star in concert– A race that brought a lot of attention from the start remained dramatic until the very end.

Herrera is a gun activist who aligns with far-right conservatives. His race focused on gun rights and closing the Texas-Mexico border by first finishing the border wall.Gonzales’ slim victory was something he acknowledged and said he was taking to heart.Before and after the results came through on Tuesday, neither candidate were made available for interviews or public watch parties.

District 23 spans 29 counties from San Antonio to El Paso, and makes up about two-thirds of the Texas-Mexico border. The censure is a formal disapproval that cut Gonzales from the state’s GOP funds and discouraged him from running as a Republican in the primary election runoff.Despite the censure vote, Governor Greg Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick supported Gonzales, as did many other Republicans across the state.“I’d be the first to admit, I have made mistakes. I’ve only been in politics three years, so I think there’s clearly some growing to do,” Gonzales said.
