Every few years, there's a sad story like this about a congressional staffer either murdered or the victim of suicide.
The only reason I post this is because Gonzalez has now publicly responded, and because the GOP House majority is in such a parlous state nowadays.

Gonzales, who was endorsed by President Donald TrumpYet another bad endorsement ...
I hate "endorsements".

“The San-Antonio Express News first published a recent report in which a former Gonzales staffer claimed that 35-year-old Regina Ann Santos-Aviles suffered depression after her alleged affair with Gonzales was discovered in text messages. She set herself on fire and committed suicide in September 2025.” That’s kind of weird Tony.

Folks, she set herself on fire at her home, in her garden.
What a terrible way to go.

“It’s shameful that [primary rival] Brandon Herrera is using a disgruntled former staffer to smear her memory and score political points, conveniently pushing this out the very day early voting started,” Gonzales, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump in December, told the Post.

Weird how what the rest of us call ACCOUNTABILITY Tony is calling “blackmail”...
The AK Guy is the real deal. Unlike Tony, there’s no way in hell an SOT/gun-tuber would vote for gun control like Tony has...

It seems the former husband was willing to settle for $300,000 and keep his mouth shut, being paid by Tony’s homeowner policy, but Tony sees this as “blackmail.”
That is just a private settlement that would have worked to your advantage, Tony, but, hey, don’t be “blackmailed” and see how that goes for you, now.

Brandon Herrera is running against him a second time, now:
“The pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC ran an ad campaign accusing Herrera of joking about veteran suicide and having “glorified Nazis and mocked the Holocaust” in his YouTube videos.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandon_Herrera
Brandon came within 1% of winning, last time.
AIPAC wants the adulterer who led to a suicide death by fire, though.

BLACKMAIL?
First that ‘ Black’ is racist.
Second, Mail is gender phobia
Third, if mail means written documents, that is critical of those who cannot read.
This is all bad: Racist, Antisemite, LGBT++ phobic, etc!!

You cheat, you resign.
No blackmail.
A suicide was caused by your selfishness and a life of quiet reflection is warranted. Punish your pride.
