In a tight race for the Texas Congressional seat for District 23, Republican Tony Gonzales defeated Democratic challenger Gina Ortiz Jones. Gonzales is excited what for what the future holds.
"I want to thank each and every grassroots supporter, volunteer, and member of my staff who poured their heart into our campaign," said Gina Ortiz Jones. "I am so proud of the race we ran, and it is our shared commitment to fighting for working families in South and West Texas that continues to give me hope."
District 23 runs an 800-mile stretch from San Antonio to El Paso, and along the U.S.-Mexico border. Congressman Will Hurd decided not to run for reelection, making this seat up for grabs.
