The Republican Party of Texas will consider a censure resolution against Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, on Saturday after Gonzales broke with the party on gay marriage and gun control votes.
Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, faces a censure resolution from the Republican Party of Texas for his votes on same-sex marriage and gun control.
The Medina County GOP said Gonzales' votes violated the Texas Republican Party's sixth core principle, which seeks to preserve"self-sufficient families, founded on the traditional marriage of a natural man and a natural woman." The resolution also calls out Gonzales for voting against the House GOP rules package, for failing to supportthat is backed by every other Texas representative, and for voting in favor of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act — a bipartisan gun control law that was written in response to the mass shootings in Uvalde, which is in Gonzales' district, and in Buffalo, New York.
