U.S. Representative Tony Gonzales is set to face a primary runoff against Brandon Herrera on May 28 for the House District 23 seat in San Antonio. Gonzales, seeking a third term for R-TX-23, was unable to secure over 50% of the vote required to win the Republican nomination outright. The runoff was triggered by his vote for bipartisan gun safety legislation following the Uvalde tragedy, which has been a point of contention among conservative voters. Brandon Herrera, known as 'The AK Guy', is a gun rights advocate and social media influencer. The race has attracted national attention, with Steve Bannon labeling it as one of the most important primaries in the nation. Herrera's candidacy is underscored by his background as a firearms manufacturer in San Antonio.

It looks like #TX23 Rep. Tony Gonzales (R), who voted for bipartisan gun safety legislation in the wake of Uvalde, will finish short of 50% and will head to a 5/28 runoff against Brandon Herrera (R).
Not looking so good for @RepTonyGonzales. If election day votes go slightly more conservative then it’s looking like a runoff between him and @TheAKGuy. That would be amazing. Here’s hoping for the best!! https://t.co/4imCKR4Jua
