US EditionEmbattled GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales Announces He’s Stepping Down From Congress
Lawmakers say the House could vote Wednesday on expulsion resolutions as investigations continue and both members face misconduct allegations from former staffers.
- Lawmakers from both parties are calling for the resignation or expulsion of Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell, representing California's 14th Congressional District, and Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales, representing Texas's 23rd Congressional District.
- Swalwell faces sexual assault allegations from multiple women, including a former staffer who accused him of assault in a New York hotel room in 2024. Gonzales is accused of coercing a former aide into a sexual relationship and sending explicit texts.
- Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna and Democratic Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández plan to introduce dual expulsion resolutions when the House reconvenes Tuesday. Removing a member requires a two-thirds majority vote.
- Swalwell suspended his gubernatorial campaign Sunday after dozens of staffers signed a letter demanding his resignation. Gonzales announced he would not seek reelection, calling his conduct a "lapse in judgment."
- The expulsion push could eventually include Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick and Republican Rep. Cory Mills, both from Florida, who currently face separate House Ethics Committee investigations. If Swalwell and Gonzales are expelled, the two could similarly face congressional votes.
