Texts: Gonzales Pushed Staffer for Sexy Pic
February 23, 2026·1 day ago·via San Antonio Express-News
Texts reveal Rep. Tony Gonzales pressured female staffer Regina Santos-Aviles for a "sexy pic" and engaged in an affair, sparking a congressional ethics probe that began months ago. Santos-Aviles, Gonzales' regional director, died by suicide after setting herself on fire last year, following her husband's discovery of their sexual messages. Gonzales, a married Navy vet with six kids, denies wrongdoing, accuses the widower of blackmail, and blames political rivals ahead of his TX-23 GOP primary.
