The following issues were listed on Gonzalez's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

Medicare & Social Security: Medicare and Social Security are solemn promises that must be honored. After a lifetime of work, seniors deserve the peace of mind that they will have a modest level of security to depend on.

Education: Education is the advice of our parents and grandparents, and they know what they’re talking about. In today’s information economy, a quality education is a necessity. Education is required to get ahead in life, compete for higher paying jobs, and to expand our innovation and creativity as a workforce to compete on a global scale.

Jobs and Standing Up for South Texas: Our economy in South Texas continues to diversify and grow, from trade to health care, agriculture, manufacturing, innovation and more. As Congressman, I will take on any politician who casts negative stereotypes on border communities that hurt our business environment.

Veterans: I stand by our local veterans who have never stopped fighting to bring a VA hospital to the Valley to honor the sacrifices of all South Texas men and women who have served our nation proudly. Their efforts have led to vastly expanded health care services in South Texas, but much more still needs to be done.

Keeping America Safe: America is the land of the free, and I support a strong military and national defense to ensure we stay that way. Today we face various enemies who play by different rules, and we must stay vigilant while honoring the Constitutional rights of US citizens.
