San Antonio, TX – Brandon Herrera made the following statement:

Last night, the people of Texas’ 23rd Congressional District sent a message: they’re done with Tony Gonzales and his betrayal of our shared conservative values.

Tony sabotaged fellow Republicans’ border reform bill and called it “anti-American” and “not Christian.” When Tony’s own district was being overrun with illegals, every other Republican member of Congress backed Texas Governor Abbott in his fight to secure the border except Tony. Instead, Tony voted to send $40 billion taxpayer dollars to defend Ukraine’s border.

Tony voted for Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates and to fund a $400 million federal vaccine tracking database that would enable the government to deny employment and benefits to individuals who refused experimental vaccines.

He voted to keep our soldiers in Syria where they are dying for no national interest. He voted to authorize warrantless wiretaps of American citizens. He voted for taxpayer-funded abortions and to allow government persecution of religious organizations that support traditional marriage.

He voted with Democrats for the January 6th Commission to prosecute and imprison President Trump and allowed himself to be a prop in Nikki Haley’s campaign ads.

And when it was time to hold the leadership of local law enforcement accountable for the tragedy in Uvalde, he instead blamed law-abiding citizens and supported Joe Biden’s gun control bill that funds unconstitutional Red Flag laws and takes 2nd Amendment rights away from veterans.

These are all the reasons that a clear majority of Republicans in the district voted against him yesterday, but his response is to call these voters crazy and say he needs to “drown” them.

Last night, he found out we’re a little more buoyant than he thought.

I want to thank the many volunteers and donors to my campaign who made this outcome possible.  I also want to thank the other candidates in this race who helped keep Tony under 50% and have, through this campaign, become my friends.

And I’d also like to thank the voters who sent me to this run-off for giving me your vote. I will work hard to earn your trust every day as your Congressman and, unlike Tony, I will never take your vote for granted.

Now is the time for the Republicans of southwest Texas to unify behind my campaign as we advance to the run-off on May 28 and finish the fight!

San Antonio, TX – Brandon Herrera for Congress raised $323,406.57 in his first quarter as a candidate in the Republican primary against RINO incumbent Tony Gonzales.

He raised over eleven times more than the rest of the challengers combined. He also reports $239,080 cash on hand which is 22 times more than all of the other challengers have combined. His average contribution was under $200, meaning most of his donors can continue to give more as the March primary approaches.

Brandon made the following statement:

I have tremendous gratitude to the donors who believe in me and my mission to replace Tony Gonzales with a constitutional conservative who shares the values of southwest Texas.

While Tony collects contributions in $5000 lump sums from the corporate PACs that control him, I’m honored and humbled to receive $50, $25, and $5 donations from the people of this district that Tony has forgotten and whom I intend to serve.

The best part is we’re just getting started and momentum is building as true Republicans from Bexar to El Paso Counties and everywhere in between rally to my campaign to make sure the primary on March 5th will be Tony Gonzales’ Alamo.

San Antonio, TX – Following last week’s kickoff tour that hit nine cities from one end of Texas’s 23rd Congressional District to the other, Brandon Herrera made the following statement:

I’ve never run for office before, and I cannot overstate how encouraged and energized I am from my experience introducing my campaign to the people that I seek to represent in Congress.

Everyone from business owners to moms to veterans to seniors to blue-collar working people came out to hear my message and share their concerns about the direction of our district, our state, and our country.

And what they all had in common was the belief Tony Gonzales has got to go. They demand someone who will defend our constitution and support our values instead of someone who makes a mockery of our treasured rights and freedoms.

Whether it’s Tony’s support for new gun control and red flag laws, his opposition to common sense solutions for our border crisis, his recent vote to allow warrantless surveillance on US citizens and DEI policies in our military, or breaking a written promise to the people of southwest Texas to support term limits, he’s proven unfit to represent Texas’ 23rd Congressional District.

I look forward to continuing to spread my message of conservative, constitutional government to the people of this district and retiring Tony Gonzales in the Republican Primary on March 5th.
