TX-23: Tony Gonzales makes false allegations about Gina Ortiz Jones' residency
Both Jones, the Democratic nominee in U.S. District 23, and Gonzales, her Republican opponent, grew up in San Antonio in the 1990s and subsequently enlisted in the military, with Jones serving as an Air Force intelligence officer and Gonzales as a Navy cryptologist.
Both of them deployed to Iraq and spent most of the past two decades traveling from one part of the world to another.
Both of them worked government jobs in Washington, D.C., and returned to San Antonio within the past three and a half years, with the thought of running for Congress.
But Gonzales, in his effort to define Jones as someone who doesn’t represent “Texas values,” repeatedly has perpetrated the false allegation that Jones doesn’t live in this state.
In a recent TV ad, Gonzales warned voters: “My opponent, Gina Jones, lives over there, in Washington D.C.”
In an Aug. 26 tweet, Gonzales wrote: “I am eager to tell my life story and present my vision and ideas to the voters of this district, while Jones hides at home in DC.”
Gonzales has offered an endless series of variations on this theme, including a Sept. 29 tweet in which he alleged Jones “recently flew into the state for a short campaign trip before returning to her home in Washington.”

Can you even believe a rePug would tell LIES about their opponent?
