"The messages, which the newspaper reported date from when Gonzales was a first-time Republican candidate in June 2020, allegedly show him escalating a late-night conversation with his campaign's political director into explicit sexual requests over several days."
"When the campaign director declined his requests multiple times the report says he replied: 47 nos is about my limit. The texts then include multiple requests for photos in the following days."
"The revelations add to mounting scrutiny over Gonzales's conduct following a separate 2024 affair with 35-year-old congressional aide Regina Santos-Aviles, which he publicly acknowledged as a mistake and a lapse in judgment."
Rep. Tony Gonzales is accused of sending explicit text messages to his campaign director in 2020, requesting nude photos and sexual encounters. The messages escalated from casual conversation to sexual requests over several days. Despite multiple rejections from the campaign director, Gonzales persisted, stating that 47 nos was about his limit. These revelations come amid scrutiny following his admission of a 2024 affair with a congressional aide, who later died by suicide. Gonzales's conduct has led to backlash and his decision to leave office in January.
