Tony Gonzales plots revenge tour for GOP colleagues backing primary challenger

[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) is warning of possible retribution against some of his GOP colleagues in the House who are actively campaigning against the Texas Republican’s reelection bid.

As Gonzales seeks a third term to his seat on Tuesday representing Texas’s 23rd Congressional District, the incumbent is facing a challenge from his right over his voting record to protect same-sex marriage and to implement stricter gun safety measures. Those votes attracted a crowded field of candidates looking to oust the incumbent during the March primary, forcing Gonzales into a runoff with challenger Brandon Herrera after neither candidate secured more than 50% of the vote.

The runoff election has attracted national attention as many of Gonzales’s colleagues in the House have endorsed his challenger, a move the Texas Republican said won’t go unnoticed.

"Here’s the deal: If somebody backs your opponent and goes to your district and does events [and] are giving your opponent money — they are trying to kill you politically. And you better believe them," Gonzales told the Washington Examiner in an interview. "So your only option is to kill them politically. So I think there’s focus on Tuesday, and then we’re going to do a little purging of ourselves of our own."
