.RepTonyGonzales pulled in $1.3 million in fundraising during the first quarter, reinforcing his reelection campaign after being censured by the Texas Republican Party last month. Gonzales described himself as a 'grassroots guy' to dcexaminer.
Gonzales told the Washington Examiner he takes pride in running a professional campaign that raises the funds needed to get the message out while also being a “grassroots guy that shows up in jeans and boots and everybody knows.”Gonzales raised $1,307,245 in the first three months of the year, and a significant amount as cash on hand, making this his best quarter to date.
In March, the Texas GOP voted 57-5 to censure the two-term Republican congressman for a lack of “fidelity to Republican principles and priorities.” “I won't downplay how difficult it is when you get censured by your state party, even when the party is relevant or not relevant,” Gonzales told the Washington Examiner. “Still, you want to show that you have support at all levels.”
