Republicans took issue with Gonzales' stance on border security, same-sex marriage, guns and the new majority's rules package in Congress.
Gonzales broke with the rest of the state’s House Republicans on all three votes.
Gonzales was invited to defend himself at the meeting in Austin, but he declined to attend. Instead, he said he was hosting colleagues on a trip to the U.S.-Mexico border, and to Uvalde, where the“I represent Uvalde. It’s only been 10 months and everybody forgets about Uvalde,” he said Thursday. “…The Safer Communities Act would have prevented the Uvalde shooting.”by the Bexar County Republican Party to censure Gonzales have failed for various reasons.
The group was among 15 county parties that affirmed the Medina County GOP’s censure, out of the 29 counties that are wholly or partially included in the state’s 23rd Congressional District. In an effort to highlight issues where he agrees with local Republicans, Gonzales joined the anti-abortion group Alliance for Life at Thursday’s press conference to voice opposition to“Prop A is going down in flames — it is going to lose,” Gonzales said at the press conference. “… We have an army of conservative warriors that are ready to push back.”“Not everybody likes me. … It’s the way life is,” Gonzales said.
“Something like this is an opportunity to unite us,” he said, gesturing to the people gathered in opposition of the police reforms charter amendment.
