San Antonio U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales kicks ass of 'AK Guy' in campaign fundraising
YouTube vlogger-turned-congressional candidate Brandon Herrera's controversial remarks don't appear to have paid fundraising dividends, according to first-quarter campaign finance data reported on Tuesday by the Texas Tribune. Herrera, known as the "AK Guy" because of his gun manufacturing business, raised $401,000 between Jan. 1 and March 31 — or less than half the $949,000 that his rival, U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales, raised during that same period, the Tribune reports. Gonzales and Herrera are locked in a runoff for the Republican nomination to represent Texas' 23rd Congressional District, which includes part of San Antonio along with a large swath of the U.S.-Mexico border. Gonzales failed to garner 50% of the vote during the state's GOP primaries in March, so the two will face off again May 28.
