Abbott Endorses Gonzales In Primary Runoff Despite 'Moderate' Claims

Governor Greg Abbott is throwing his support to Republican U.S. Representative Tony Gonzales in the upcoming primary runoff. Abbott endorsed Gonzales for a third term on Wednesday. Gonzales is facing criticism from conservatives who say he's too moderate. Abbott praised the 43-year-old congressman for his support for border security measures in Congress. Gonzales represents District 23, which stretches from San Antonio to El Paso. He faces 28-year-old YouTuber and gun rights advocate Brandon Herrera in the June 15th runoff.
