I just found that Gonzalez is running as a Democrat. No Republican is in that race, yet. I thought that he was probably a Republican because he and I have 69 mutual facebook friends, including Bill Brady, Steve Kim, David Harris, Chris Nybo, and Randy Ramey.
Given how the district is one of the most heavily Democrat CDs in the state (heck, in the country), probably the best you could hope for there is that this Richard Gonzalez somehow wins the RAT primary, which is tantamount to winning the general. If he’s a conservative (or at least a moderate) running as a Democrat because it would be futile to run as anything else in that district, it would behoove Republicans in the district to register as Democrats and vote for Gonzalez. Then again, if they did so they wouldn’t be able to vote on the GOP gubernatorial primary, so there woukd be a trade-off.
