"My abuela always said: ‘Aquí nadie se queda atrás.’ Here, no one gets left behind. That’s my promise to you."
- STAND UP FOR SOUTH TEXAS AND THE COASTAL BEND
South Texas and the Coastal Bend helped build America's energy, agriculture, and shipping economy, but Democrat Vicente Gonzalez only treats us like an afterthought. …
- LOWER THE COST OF LIVING
Families in our communities are struggling because of rising grocery bills, gas prices, insurance premiums, and housing costs. …
- IMPROVE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE
South Texas and the Coastal Bend's infrastructure carry the weight of our nation's energy exports and agricultural trade, but our roads, bridges, and utilities haven't kept pace and are in disrepair. …
- WATER RESOURCES
Water is critical to South Texas. It's vital for our families, our farmers, and our ranchers. I'll fight for federal investment in our water infrastructure, support efforts to protect agricultural and municipal water supplies, and push for long-term regional water planning instead of relying on short-term fixes.
Vicente Gonzalez
WebsiteBallotpedia- Affordability
Families across South Texas are feeling the pressure of rising everyday costs. From groceries and housing to energy and transportation, increased expenses have made it harder for working families to stay financially secure.
- Campaign statement
Vicente Gonzalez believes that people who work hard should be able to afford a stable and dignified life. Addressing affordability means focusing on practical solutions that reduce financial strain and help families keep more of what they earn.
- Campaign statement
The impact of rising costs goes beyond household budgets. It affects education, healthcare decisions, and long-term financial planning for families throughout the district.
- Campaign statement
Vicente is committed to supporting policies that promote economic stability, protect working families, and ensure South Texans are not left behind as costs continue to rise.
- Seniors
Seniors across South Texas deserve security, stability, and peace of mind after a lifetime of hard work. Many older residents rely on earned benefits and essential services to maintain independence and dignity in retirement.

Big donors have taken over our government -- and both the Democratic and Republican parties. Elon Musk alone has pledged to spend $200 million on the November election – influence he uses to hurt our community with explosions and land grabs for SpaceX at Boca Chica Beach.
- Key message 2
We need a Constitutional Amendment to end Citizens United and rein in PACs, dark money, and billionaires. We need a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
- Key message 3
I am doing something different, running for office with the Green Party, because the Greens don't take corporate PAC money or lobbyist money, and neither do I. Let's have real representation for our gente. I am with the people, not big donors.
