LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON ― Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) won’t give up his seat in Congress over his apparent affair with a staffer who died by suicide last year. I work every day for the people of Texas,” Gonzales told CNN’s Manu Raju at the Capitol on Tuesday. Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) and Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) have said Gonzales should immediately resign from his seat, while other Republicans have suggested he ought to quit running for office. Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), who has said Gonzales should drop his campaign, wouldn’t say Tuesday if Gonzales had explained himself. “I’m not gonna litigate this in the public square,” Roy told HuffPost.
