Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales Thursday dropped his reelection bid for his Texas congressional district after admitting to an affair with a staffer who later died by suicide.
“After deep reflection and with the support of my loving family, I have decided not to seek reelection while serving out the rest of this Congress with the same commitment I’ve always had to my district,” Gonzales said in a statement on X.
This is a breaking story; it will be updated.
