Ernest Gonzales II

Republican Not on the November ballot

Not on the November ballot

Gonzales holds this seat, but is not on the November ballot for it. Brandon Herrera and Katy Padilla Stout are.

A primary result is a filed fact about a contest, not a judgement about a candidate. Gonzales's campaign finance and record below are still their own record, and their committee may still be filing.

Spending to support them

Hispanic Leadership Action$79K

Spending to oppose them

No committee has filed independent spending in this direction.

How these directions are decided

Independent expenditures reported to the FEC. The supporting or opposing direction is each committee's own declared filing, not an interpretation, and a group spending against a candidate is not necessarily spending for their opponent. Outside money is not the campaign's money and is never added to what they raised.

In their own words

What Gonzales's campaign says it would work on.

The priorities Gonzales's own campaign site lists, quoted as written there. They are what the campaign says. Nobody has voted on them.

“Bóng đá Việt Nam (Vô địch Quốc Gia Và đtqg)”
“Hình ảnh Full Hd, âm Thanh Sống động”
“đội Ngũ Blv Sôi Nổi, Am Hiểu Bóng đá”
“đường Truyền ổn định, Không Giật Lag”
“Hoàn toàn miễn phí, không cần tạo tài khoản”
“Lịch thi đấu bóng đá”
“Bảng xếp hạng bóng đá”
“Kết quả bóng đá mới nhất”
“Nhận định trước trận”
“Cập nhật tin tức bóng đá 24/7”
“So Sánh Xoilac Tv Và Các Nền Tảng Trực Tiếp Bóng đá Khác”
“Hệ thống gặp sự cố”

Quoted from tonygonzalesforcongress.com, read August 14, 2026. A campaign site changes; this is what it said on that date. Curia quotes these and does not check, rate or rank them.

Record in office

Gonzales has not held this office, so there is no federal voting record, no cosponsorships and no committee service to report.

That absence is not a position for or against anything; it is what a first federal campaign looks like in the public record.

Candidates and financing from the FEC, public domain. Nothing here is a forecast, a grade, or a ranking of candidates.
