Republican Congresswomen Lauren Boebert and Nancy Mace are demanding that their colleague, Rep. Tony Gonzales, resign amid recent reports that allege the congressman sent provocative text messages to a former staffer with whom he had an affair before the staffer died by suicide.
For months, Gonzales, 45, has been embroiled in a scandal around the death of Regina Ann Santos-Aviles, his former staffer, who claimed to have an affair with the congressman. Santos-Aviles, 35, died by suicide in September 2025.
