Texas Democrat Represented Drug Smugglers, Gang Leaders in Court Despite Now Calling for ‘Law and Order’
Vulnerable Democrat Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX) previously represented drug smugglers and gang leaders in his Texas-based law firm before running for Congress and stressing the need for “law and order,” a report alleges.
Gonzalez, who represents Texas’s 15th congressional district, which sits along the southern border, is facing a tough re-election bid in the 34th congressional district against Rep. Maya Flores (R-TX), who recently won the seat in a special election.
On his campaign site, Gonzalez touts his support for investments “in first responders at the community level” while “maintaining smart border security, increased security at our ports, and a more collaborative and accountable relationship with Mexico.”
Likewise, in June 2018, Gonzalez called himself a “law and order member” of Congress in addition to someone who “believes in strict border security.” Again, in August 2018, he claimed to want to “bring security to our border” and ensure “drugs are not coming across as freely as they are now.”
Before his time in Congress, Gonzalez founded the V. Gonzalez and Associates law firm in 1997, which appears to still be operating and netting the lawmaker tens of thousands of dollars in income a year, the Washington Free Beacon’s Collin Anderson reports.
