Congressman Tony Gonzales is a dedicated patriot with twenty years of military experience. Abandoned by his father at the age of two months, Tony knew he had to work hard to get ahead in life. At the age of 18, he left high school to join the military and provide a path to success for himself and his family.
As a career cryptologist in the United States Navy, he rose to the highest enlisted rank of Master Chief Petty Officer for his support of combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. With multiple deployments to the Middle East and Asia, Tony has firsthand experience about the security challenges that face our country and the international community at large.
Although Texas has shown marked improvements in vaccination and recovery rates, COVID-19 remains a threat to our public health. Congressman Gonzales is determined to continue the fight against this pandemic by providing targeted funding for vaccines, small business loans, and resources to get our children back in school. As Texas reopens its economy, federal, state, and local leaders are taking a careful,measured approach that will get people back to work in the safest way possible.
