## Summary

**Expel Representative Tony Gonzales for an admitted sexual relationship with a supervised staffer and alleged pattern of unwelcome advances and sexual bullying.** This resolution would remove Gonzales from the House under the Constitution after finding he admitted on March 4, 2026 to a sexual relationship with Regina Ann Santos-Aviles, a staffer who worked under his direct supervision. It cites reporting of repeated advances and requests for intimate material in May 2024, later disclosures of sexually explicit messages from 2020, and concludes those actions violated the House Code of Official Conduct and undermined staff safety and public trust.
