Herrera got the endorsement after Rep. Tony Gonzales dropped his bid for re-election.

Gonzales admitted to an affair with an aide who later died by suicide.

Republican leadership called on him to drop his bid for re-election.

NBC News reported:

Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, announced Thursday night that he will drop his bid for re-election but will serve out the rest of his term in Congress following a tumultuous set of weeks for the congressman, who admitted having had an affair with an aide who later died by suicide.

“After deep reflection and with the support of my loving family, I have decided not to seek re-election while serving out the rest of this Congress with the same commitment I’ve always had to my district,” Gonzales said in statement on X.

Republican leadership rebuked Gonzales earlier Thursday, with Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., who leads a razor-thin GOP majority in the House, calling on him to retire at the end of his term but not resign entirely.
