Press release from U.S. Representative District 23 Tony Gonzales

Earlier this year, my bill to rename the Uvalde Border Patrol Checkpoint in honor of fallen Border Patrol Agent James R. Dominguez passed in the House. Recently, the Senate passed my bill, and it will be signed into law.

Agent Dominguez’s legacy will live on for generations to come. I am grateful for the support of Border Patrol leadership and Border Patrol Agents at the Uvalde Station, who worked alongside me every step of the way to make this memorial possible.

Passing Critical Legislation

Communism is a destructive political ideology that has cost hundreds of millions of lives across the world. This week, I proudly voted for the Crucial Communism Teaching Act to ensure that students learn about the dangers of this brutal ideology.

I also voted for the Disabled Veterans Housing Support Act. This legislation will remove barriers to receiving housing assistance for veterans with

service-related disabilities. I will always fight to ensure our heroes receive the benefits they deserve.

Finally, I supported legislation to reauthorize the Office of National Drug Control Policy. Through this reauthorization, our law enforcement agencies have the tools they need to combat the drug epidemic in our communities.
