Texts show Rep. Tony Gonzales sent sexually explicit messages to staffer
Explicit late-night texts from Rep. Tony Gonzales to a deceased aide have triggered ethics reviews and resignation calls from at least four House Republicans.
- On Monday, Rep. Tony Gonzales was linked to newly released late-night texts between him and former regional district director Regina Santos-Aviles, which News 4 and Fox SA obtained and verified.
- Adrian Aviles says he discovered text messages and sent a June 2024 group-chat message to Gonzales staffers, while his attorney says frustration with Gonzales's denials prompted him to release the material.
- In a May 2024 exchange, messages show Gonzales requesting 'a sexy pic' while texts between 12:15 a.m. and 12:54 a.m. have Santos-Aviles twice saying it was 'going too far' as he pressed sexual topics including 'anal'.
- On Monday, a fellow House Republican called for Gonzales to resign as the Office of Congressional Conduct wrapped its probe but cannot send a report before the March 3 primary.
- Political moves, including NRCC ads and a House Freedom Fund endorsement on Monday, reshape Gonzales' primary race as Bobby Barrera says legal action is under consideration.
