This resolution seeks to expel Representative Tony Gonzales from the House of Representatives based on allegations of sexual misconduct with House staff members. According to the resolution, Gonzales engaged in unwelcome sexual advances and a sexual relationship with a staffer who worked under his direct supervision, violating House rules on sexual conduct established in 2018. The resolution details text messages from 2024 in which Gonzales allegedly requested explicit photos and descriptions of sexual positions from his employee, and notes that a second former campaign staffer also came forward in 2026 with accusations of sexually explicit messages. The resolution emphasizes that Gonzales admitted to the sexual relationship in March 2026 after initially denying the allegations, and subsequently ended his re-election campaign but did not resign from office. To remove him, the resolution requires a two-thirds majority vote in the House, and Gonzales would have the opportunity to defend himself before the vote takes place.
