Vicente Gonzalez’s Soft-on-Crime Resume

Out of touch Vicente Gonzalez has spent years pretending to care about border security, but his record tells a much uglier story.

A new report exposes Gonzalez’s legal record defending criminals charged in federal human tracking and smuggling cases, major marijuana trafficking cases, and an MDMA distribution case, including cases involving more than 2,000 pounds of marijuana and eight pounds of ecstasy.

The contrast could not be clearer: Republican Eric Flores prosecuted cartel-connected human traffickers. Democrat Vicente Gonzalez defended them.

“Out of touch Vicente Gonzalez spent his career defending the drug traffickers, smugglers, illegal immigrants charged with human smuggling, and violent criminals who made South Texas less safe. Eric Flores put cartel-connected criminals behind bars. Vicente Gonzalez helped them cut deals. That tells Texans everything they need to know about whose side Gonzalez has been on.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
