冈萨雷斯众议员将退休
Read, Watch or Listen
San Antonio — Republican U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales announced Monday he will retire from Congress as lawmakers prepare to return to Washington. Gonzales acknowledged earlier this year that he had an affair with a former staff member; that staffer later died in 2025 and his admission prompted scrutiny. The retirement follows initiation of a House Ethics Committee investigation and bipartisan calls for expulsion, and came hours after related developments involving another House member this week. Gonzales said he will file his retirement when Congress returns, leaving the 23rd District seat open and prompting plans for succession.
