The Urgent Need for Genuine Representation in Texas

“Tony Gonzales is the walking definition of 'gaslighting the Hispanic voter'.

In a thriving democracy, it's not merely about electing officials; it's about ensuring that those we elect genuinely reflect our collective voice, values, and vision. And Texas, our great state, is at a crossroads. A growing number of Texans feel that Rep. Tony Gonzales does not truly embody our aspirations.

The Hispanic Republicans of Texas have presented Victor Avila as an alternative. While new faces are essential for change, we must question if someone living outside the district can ever genuinely understand the heart and soul of our community. We need leaders forged from the very soil and spirit of our districts.

Reports suggesting that Gonzales seldom visits his district are troubling. True leadership isn't about selective appearances that cater only to specific audiences. A representative must engage in genuine dialogue with ALL constituents. Past representatives, like Will Hurd, faced similar concerns. We've seen too often leaders who appear more loyal to elite political cliques than to us—the grassroots, the lifeblood of Texas.

Recent interactions with Gonzales' office in D.C. by concerned Texans paint a worrying picture of disconnect and indifference. Furthermore, allegations about Gonzales' involvement in a questionable deal with a bus company raises eyebrows. Can we trust a representative who seems entangled in conflicts of interest?

Even more alarming are reports of Gonzales' alleged role in funding a multi-million-dollar deal for a bus company believed to transport illegal immigrants. The optics grow murkier when one learns that his office is located on the very property of that bus company. It's a glaring conflict of interest that raises questions about his ability to objectively represent his constituents' interests.

While public servants should always be open to dialogue, Gonzales' behavior tells a different story. A recent attempt to engage him in a district conversation resulted in Gonzales reportedly    fleeing the scene – an action not befitting an elected representative.

The people of Congressional District 23 are fed up. Retired Lt Colonel Raul Reyes Jr. did not mince words when it came to describing Rep. Gonzales: “Tony Gonzales is the walking definition of 'gaslighting the Hispanic voter.

'

He and Salazar (open border, pro-amnesty Republicans) are not what Hispanics want, PERIOD.” Frank Lopez Jr. a retired Supervisory Border Patrol Agent echoed this sentiment stating, “Tony Gonzalez has voted and legislated against the ideals and principles held by a majority of Hispanics in this country. He is a political prostitute who has sold out to big money donors and has betrayed his constituents, the Constitution and our country. His censure by the RPT and growing number of primary challengers is a repudiation of his globalist views.”

New to the race is Bandon Herrera, a YouTuber with close to 3 million followers. Brandon is a staunch 2A conservative that prides himself on not being a politically correct politician. A X poll conducted by Former Texas State Senator Don Huffiness revealed that Brandon had a 97% likeability among voters who plan on voting for him. There were over 8,000 people that answered the poll.

It's time for Texas to rally behind genuine representation. We deserve leaders who engage with us, who resonate with our core beliefs, and who prioritize service over personal gain. As we approach another pivotal moment in our political journey, let's champion authenticity, integrity, and true Texan spirit. Let's find leaders who truly embody Texas.
