Ernest Anthony "Tony" Gonzales II (born October 10, 1980) is an American politician and United States Navy veteran who has served as the U.S. representative for Texas's 23rd congressional district in the United States House of Representatives since 2021. He is a member of the Republican Party. Gonzales is considered a moderate Republican, having voted for proposals such as the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and the Respect for Marriage Act. These votes resulted in a censure from the Texas Republican Party. He is also one of 18 Republicans who voted against Jim Jordan's nomination for Speaker of the House all three times, and only Republican to have voted against the House rules package afterwards. Gonzales votes have prompted several conservative primary challengers in 2024. Failing to receive a majority of the vote in the primary, Gonzales will face gun Youtuber Brandon Herrera in a runoff.
