One South Texas conservative is wasting no time capitalizing on San Antonio Congressman Tony Gonzales’ recent censure by the Republican Party of Texas. With nearly a year until her party’s 2024 primary, Medina County Republican Party Chairwoman Julie Clark has launched the first TV ad in her campaign to unseat Gonzlales, whom she labels a “R.I.N.O.,” or “Republican in name only.” The spot’s launch comes roughly a week after the Texas GOP voted to censure Gonzales for voting to defend same-sex marriage and helping pass the bipartisan gun safety law that followed the Uvalde school massacre. Gonzales’ sprawling 23rd District includes Uvalde.
