House GOP leaders have asked embattled Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, to drop his bid for re-election.
"The Ethics Committee has announced an investigation into Congressman Tony Gonzales’s conduct, and we urge them to act expeditiously. Congressman Gonzales has said he will fully cooperate with the investigation," the statement by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and other top Republicans reads.
"We have encouraged him to address these very serious allegations directly with his constituents and his colleagues. In the meantime, Leadership has asked Congressman Gonzales to withdraw from his race for re-election."
