Vicente Gonzalez, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 34th district since 2017, recently shared his views on various issues through a series of tweets. Born in Corpus Christi, Texas, Gonzalez has been active in political discourse, focusing on topics ranging from economic policies to social justice.

On March 7, 2025, Gonzalez expressed concern over tariff policies and their impact on American citizens. He stated: "Good, but Americans can't keep living with this on-again, off-again turmoil. These tariffs just mean higher costs passed down to South Texans, when will the President understand that?"

The following day, March 8, 2025, he addressed government spending cuts in another tweet. He emphasized the importance of protecting veterans’ services while reducing waste: "Government waste must be cut, but we must do it in a responsible and smart way. It cannot impact our veterans’ health and safety. We owe it to them to continue providing healthcare and vital services."

Later that day on International Women’s Day, Gonzalez highlighted the ongoing struggle for gender equality. He tweeted: "On International Women’s Day, we celebrate the contributions of the women of today and yesterday by continuing the fight for equal pay, for equal work, and so much more."
