GOP Rep Tony Gonzales Says He Won't Resign
HuffPost
The embattled congressman told reporters "not all the facts" have come out regarding his alleged affair with a staffer, but it's unclear what could be missing.
WASHINGTON ― Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) won’t give up his seat in Congress over his apparent affair with a staffer who died by suicide last year.
“I am not going to resign. I work every day for the people of Texas,” Gonzales told CNN’s Manu Raju at the Capitol on Tuesday.
Several Republicans have called on Gonzales to resign or suspend his reelection campaign after late-night text messages obtained by HuffPost and other outlets showed Gonzales in 2024 pressing a younger staffer for “a sexy pic.”
According to the staffer’s husband, she and Gonzales wound up having an affair.
The staffer fell into a depressive spiral after her husband discovered the relationship, her husband has said, leading both to their estrangement and the collapse of her career. She set herself on fire and died of her injuries in September.
