Led 50+ Democrats in a Letter to President Trump Demanding Sgt. Freddy Gonzalez’s Webpage be Reinstated

I was proud to lead over 50 of my colleagues in demanding the Trump Administration reinstate Sgt. Freddy Gonzalez’s webpage after the administration shamefully removed him from the Naval History website. Their purge of women and minority servicemembers disrespects all our veterans!

Thousands of South Texans, including senior citizens, disabled workers, children, and struggling families, rely on Social Security or Medicaid to age with dignity, have enough to eat, or afford medicine and healthcare.
