SAN ANTONIO - Michimich -- BY Veterans for America First aka Veterans for Trump

VFAF is announcing the endorsement of Victor Avila for Texas 23^rd congressional district said Angie Wong VFAF.org national media rep.

Victor Avila is a retired Supervisory Special Agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) seeking the Republican nomination to represent Texas' 23rd Congressional District.

"Victor Avila is an American hero who will represent the will of the people and our conservative values. The incumbent, Tony Gonzalez, has not kept his promises and voted numerous times against the will of the people and our values. Gonzalez has been censured by the GOP in Texas and we at Veterans for Trump are censuring him here nationally," said Stan Fitzgerald Veterans for Trump president.

"Gonzalez talks like us but his voting record shows he is not one of us," said attorney Jared Craig a Veterans for Trump ambassador.
