On January 3, 2021, Congressman Vicente Gonzalez (TX-15) was sworn in as a Member of the 117th Congress. Now in his third term, Congressman Gonzalez will continue to work with Congressional leadership and the incoming Biden-Harris Administration to support Central and South Texas.

Despite the ongoing pandemic and economic crisis, “This Congress will be one of the most important in American history. As we navigate a vital vaccine rollout and recover from the coronavirus. I will fight for the equitable and swift distribution of vaccines and much-needed assistance so that Texans can get safely back to work,” stated Congressman Vicente Gonzalez.
