Incumbent Gonzales narrowly defeats 'AK Guy' in Texas District 23 Republican runoff
Incumbent U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales won victory by fewer than 500 votes over social media influencer Brandon "AK Guy" Herrera in Tuesday's GOP runoff to represent Texas’ 23rd Congressional District. Gonzales, a two-term congressman whose district includes part of San Antonio, finished the night with 50.7% of the vote compared to Herrera’s 49.3% in a nail biter the Associated Press didn’t call until after midnight. Herrera, a far-right political novice who reviews guns on YouTube, performed better than expected during the March 5 Republican primary, garnering nearly a quarter of the vote and sending the race into a runoff.
