2025年3月25日，众议员托尼·冈萨莱斯在美国国会参加新闻发布会。
得克萨斯州共和党众议员托尼·冈萨莱斯面临新的指控，称他曾向前一名竞选工作人员发送露骨短信。这一指控曝出的几周前，冈萨莱斯与另一名前雇员的婚外情曝光，彻底动摇了他的连任竞选并最终导致其退选。
《圣安东尼奥快报》周一发布了此前未被报道过的短信内容，据称这些短信是冈萨莱斯2020年6月向其竞选团队政治主管发送的，当时他正首次竞选国会席位。据该报刊登的短信内容显示，冈萨莱斯曾询问这名工作人员“你穿什么样的内裤？”，多次向她索要裸照，并描述自己如何想与她发生性关系。
报道未透露这名工作人员的身份，她告诉《圣安东尼奥快报》，两人的关系从未发生过肢体接触。CNN尚未独立核实这些短信的真实性。
CNN已联系冈萨莱斯的办公室置评。该议员及其办公室未回应《圣安东尼奥快报》的问询。
这些指控表明，早在2024年冈萨莱斯被曝出与一名工作人员发生婚外情——该事件违反美国众议院规则——数年前，冈萨莱斯就曾试图与一名雇员发展性关系。这名工作人员后来自杀身亡。尽管冈萨莱斯否认自己与她的死亡有关，但婚外情消息曝光后，引发了对这名众议员的调查，以及要求他辞去议员席位、退出连任竞选的呼声。
上个月，冈萨莱斯承认了与这名选区工作人员的婚外情，称这是“判断失误”。这名名叫雷吉娜·桑托斯-阿维莱斯的工作人员后来自焚身亡，县法医办公室认定这是自杀。
在他承认婚外情之前，有媒体报道称，冈萨莱斯还被指曾向桑托斯-阿维莱斯发送其他露骨短信，其中一条显示冈萨莱斯索要一张“性感照片”。
CNN已联系众议院议长迈克·约翰逊的办公室，就针对冈萨莱斯的最新指控置评。
约翰逊及其领导团队此前曾在最初的指控曝光并引发道德调查后，呼吁冈萨莱斯退出连任竞选。
“道德委员会已宣布对众议员托尼·冈萨莱斯的行为展开调查，我们敦促他们迅速采取行动。冈萨莱斯众议员已表示将全力配合调查，”共和党领导层当时表示。
“我们鼓励他直接向选民和同僚说明这些非常严重的指控。与此同时，领导层已要求冈萨莱斯众议员退出连任竞选，”他们补充道。
冈萨莱斯最终退出了选举，但拒绝辞去众议院席位——即便共和党国会领导层也未呼吁他这样做。
鉴于众议院席位的历史微弱差距，共和党领导层在党线投票中仅能承受一名议员倒戈。约翰逊坚决否认，仅仅因为这种微弱的投票优势，他就选择让冈萨莱斯在今年剩余时间留任国会。
San Antonio Express-News: Rep. Gonzales allegedly sent lewd texts to campaign staffer in 2020

Texas Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales is facing new allegations he sent a former campaign staffer lewd texts, just weeks after revelations of his affair with another former employee rocked and ultimately ended his reelection bid.
The San Antonio Express-News on Monday published previously unreported texts that Gonzales allegedly sent the political director of his campaign in June 2020, during his first run for Congress. The texts, as published by the Express-News, included Gonzales asking the staffer “What kind of panties do you wear?,” repeatedly soliciting nude photos from her, and describing how he wanted to have sex with her.
The report does not identify the staffer, who told the San Antonio Express-News the relationship never became physical. CNN has not independently verified the text messages.
CNN has reached out to Gonzales’ office for comment. The congressman and his office did not respond to inquiries from the Express-News.
The allegations suggest Gonzales may have pursued a sexual relationship with an employee years before a previously reported and separate affair in 2024 with a staffer – which runs afoul US House rules. The staffer later died by suicide. Though Gonzales has denied any connection with her death, the news of the affair spurred investigations into the congressman and calls for him to resign his seat and end his reelection campaign.
Last month, Gonzales acknowledged the affair with the district staffer, calling it “a lapse in judgment.” The staffer, Regina Santos-Aviles, later died by self-immolation in what a county medical examiner’s office determined was suicide.
His admission of the affair followed media reports about other lewd text messages he was alleged to have sent to Santos-Aviles, including one that showed Gonzales asking for a “sexy pic.”
CNN has reached out to House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office for comment on the latest allegations against the congressman.
Johnson and his leadership team previously called on Gonzales to drop his reelection bid amid the fallout from the initial allegations and an active ethics probe into them.
“The Ethics Committee has announced an investigation into Congressman Tony Gonzales’s conduct, and we urge them to act expeditiously. Congressman Gonzales has said he will fully cooperate with the investigation,” the GOP leaders said at the time.
“We have encouraged him to address these very serious allegations directly with his constituents and his colleagues. In the meantime, Leadership has asked Congressman Gonzales to withdraw from his race for re-election,” they continued.
Gonzales ultimately withdrew from the election but he has refused to resign his seat in the chamber’s narrow majority – a move that even Republican congressional leaders have stopped short of calling for.
With the House’s historically narrow margin, GOP leaders can only afford a single defection from their ranks to pass bills on a party-line vote. Johnson has firmly denied he is choosing to keep Gonzales in Congress for the rest of the year solely because of that razor-thin vote math.
