Tony Gonzales

Republican Not on the November ballot

Not on the November ballot

Gonzales is not on the November ballot for this seat. Brandon Herrera, Katy Padilla Stout and Ben Mendoza are.

Who is on the ballot is a filed fact about the 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.

Against the field for this seat

Each campaign's reported receipts on one shared scale, incumbent first and then by name, never in money order.

Muted rows are campaigns not on the November ballot; this page's own row keeps its weight so the comparison stays readable. A hollow row is a candidate with no finance report on file yet, not one who raised nothing. Showing 7 of the 8 campaigns that hold the seat, are on the ballot, or have $25,000 raised or outside spending; every filing is on the race page.

Spending to support them

$194,838

Hispanic Leadership Action$79,494
Hispanic Leadership Trust$75,200
National Association of Realtors Political Action Committee$40,090
Texas Alliance for Life Fed PAC$54

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.

Record in office

Gonzales served in the last Congress and does not hold a seat now, so there is no current voting record, cosponsorships or committee service to show here. That earlier record is not on this page.

That absence is not a position for or against anything.

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