Scandal-plagued Rep. Tony Gonzales forced to runoff - Politico
Overview
Rep. Tony Gonzales was pushed into a runoff amid a damaging personal scandal that included an alleged affair with a former staffer and newly reported messages soliciting explicit images. The controversy prompted a House Ethics Committee investigation, complicated his political standing, and ultimately led to his resignation. Gonzales’s troubles were one of several headline-making outcomes in a tumultuous Texas runoff cycle that also included former Rep. Colin Allred’s comeback victory over Rep. Julie Johnson in the newly drawn 33rd District.
