GOP Rep Tony Gonzales survives challenge from the right in Texas runoff
SUMMARY
The Associated Press predicts Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales will win his Texas primary runoff against outside challenger Brandon Herrera. Gonzales, seeking a third term, represents a majority Hispanic district along the U.S.-Mexico border, recently marred by a school shooting. Known for his divergent views on gun safety and immigration, Gonzales faced Herrera, a MAGA supporter and gun rights advocate. Despite endorsements from prominent figures like Gov. Greg Abbott and support from groups like the Republican Jewish Coalition Victory Fund, Herrera received backing from Reps. Matt Gaetz and Bob Good.
