News: Liberal outside group Unrig Our Economy is launching a $350,000 ad buy targeting Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) over his vote to back the One Big Beautiful Bill.
“Rep. Tony Gonzales just voted to cut Medicaid and health care coverage…all to fund tax breaks for billionaires,” the ad’s narrator says, before urging voters to tell Gonzales “to stop cutting health care.”
The latest ad buy comes on the heels of a larger $2 million effort from Unrig Our Economy that slams Texas GOP Reps. Lance Gooden, Monica De La Cruz, Beth Van Duyne and Dan Crenshaw for supporting the reconciliation package.
Unrig Our Economy is trying to squeeze GOP incumbents who may see their districts shift if state lawmakers pass new House maps.
But based on our reporting, the proposed Texas gerrymander may leave the state’s incumbents in fairly safe red seats.
Gonzales represents a west Texas seat that encompasses large swathes of the U.S.-Mexico border. Gonzales won reelection by 24 points last November.
