GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales drops reelection bid after admitting affair with staffer who died by suicide

U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) has dropped out of a runoff race for his reelection after a scandal over an affair with a staffer gained national attention. Gonzales appeared on the "Joe Pags Show" podcast, where he was asked whether he had a relationship with his former aide, Regina Ann Santos-Aviles. She had served as his primary staffer in the Uvalde area, where previous reports from the San Antonio Express-News said she took her own life by setting herself on fire in her backyard in September 2025. The rumored affair was given more credence when texts were revealed to the outlet by another alleged former staffer, and later Santos-Aviles' late husband. "I made a mistake and I had a lapse in judgment, and there was a lack of faith, and I take full responsibility for those actions," Gonzales said. House GOP leaders on Thursday called for Gonzales to exit the race. LiveNOW's Mike Pache spoke about Gonzales dropping out with Congressional reporter Juliegrace Brufke. Once he's officially dropped out, YouTube personality Brandon Herrera will take the GOP nomination by default. Subscribe to LiveNOW from FOX! https://www.youtube.com/livenowfox?su...
