David Nir and Jeff Singer report:
Storey Rubio's launch comes a year after the congressman won renomination by just a 50.6 to 49.4 margin—a difference of 354 votes—against Brandon Herrera, a far-right "gunfluencer" whom Gonzales had far outspent.
Herrera portrayed Gonzales, whose sprawling West Texas constituency includes much of the U.S. border with Mexico, as weak on immigration enforcement. Herrera was also happy to pile on after the state Republican Party censured Gonzales for, among other things, voting for gun-safety legislation after the 2022 Uvalde school shooting, which took place in his district.
Storey Rubio leveled similar grievances in her announcement video. The new candidate, while not mentioning Gonzales' record on firearms, declares, "For the last four years, I've had to carry a gun because of the criminal illegals traveling through and destroying my property."
