Gonzales' lead, which ballooned to 14,000 votes before midnight, is a much healthier advantage than past races in the district’s history, but it remained too close to call with only 78% of precincts reporting. “With thousands of ballots yet to be counted, the Gonzales campaign’s attempt to declare victory is premature,” Jones' campaign manager Lacey Morrison said.

Many Texans blame both major political parties for a protracted fight over a new coronavirus relief package. How can that be happening?”It’s been a dizzying few days for Texans waiting to see if more assistance will come. But it is unclear if anything will pass soon, leaving struggling Texans to continue to scrape by with no end in sight. As families struggle to keep their water running and business owners pull in heavy losses, Texans are “heartbroken” and angry with the federal government’s lack of support. Gonzales said the Hispanic community he represents has a large number of small business owners, some of whom are struggling to stay open.

The recount of the Republican primary runoff for the national battleground seat of retiring U.S. Rep. Will Hurd , R-Helotes, has reached an end, and Tony Gonzales remains the winner. Raul Reyes, who finished 45 votes behind Gonzales in the July 14 runoff, announced Friday evening that he was abandoning the recount. The memo argued that after a contentious runoff, Gonzales would be "defined" by his affiliation with Trump, who lost the district in 2016, and views on health care. Meanwhile, the House GOP arm congratulated Gonzales on becoming the nominee and argued that Gonzales has deeper roots in the district than Jones. In the weeks since the runoff, Gonzales repeatedly claimed victory and criticized Reyes' recount effort as a hopeless pursuit, saying it was taking away from the party's ability to unify against Jones.

The recount of the Republican primary runoff for the national battleground seat of retiring U.S. Rep. Will Hurd, R-Helotes, has reached an end, and Tony Gonzales remains the winner. Raul Reyes, who had finished 45 votes behind Gonzales in the July 14 runoff, announced Friday evening that he was abandoning the recount. Gonzales is now set to be the undisputed nominee for the seat, one of Democrats’ best pickup opportunities across the country. Coming out of election night, Reyes was down by just seven votes, a deficit that grew to 45 as the final ballots came in and the results were canvassed. In the weeks since the runoff, Gonzales repeatedly claimed victory and criticized Reyes’ recount effort as a hopeless pursuit, saying it was taking away from the party’s ability to unify against Jones.

James VolzSports editorThe University Interscholastic League has released its guidelines for summer strength and conditioning and sport specific instruction. According to the UILs press release distributed late last Friday, public school athletic programs may start summer strength and conditioning activities on June 8. We just received the guidelines, said Uvalde High School head coach and athletic director R.T. Gonzales. The UIL will continue to work with state officials and monitor CDC and other federal guidance to determine any potential modification of their summer guidelines. A complete list of all the UIL requirements for summer workouts is available by accessing the UIL website uiltexas.org.

James VolzSports editorVirtual meetings for Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District athletes and their parents are the next thing scheduled by the athletic department. These next couple of weeks we will be conducting virtual meetings for students and parents, said R.T. Gonzales, Uvalde High School athletic director. Therefore, we will have meetings for each junior high school and for high school. For high school freshmen, we will introduce them to all of the sports that are offered at the high school level, Gonzales said. Regular season high school practice for the fall sports, including football, volleyball, team tennis, and cross-country, will begin in early August.

James VolzSports editorWith the end of the spring school year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Uvalde High School athletes will continue conducting virtual online workouts. We will continue to do the online workouts until we are allowed to go back to in-person training, said UHS athletic director and head football coach R.T. Gonzales. Last week, the University Interscholastic League announced that the remainder of the spring high school sports season was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. UHS football players originally were scheduled to participate in 7-on-7 competition in late May and early June, but that has been put on hold. We would rather focus on getting our athletes ready for the beginning of the season, said Gonzales.

The UILs decision to cancel the remainder of the spring sports season followed Governor Greg Abbotts announcement Texas schools are to remain closed for in-person classes for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year. They did a phenomenal job of keeping the best interests of our students, and holding out as long as they could along with exploring every avenue they possibly could to complete the spring athletic season, said UHS athletic director R.T. Gonzales. When the UILs suspension of activities went into effect on March 16, UHS athletes, in all of the spring sports, were enjoying a great season. UHS tennis, golf, and track-and-field athletes were preparing for district competition. With the end of the 2019-20 high school sports season, the attention turns to the start of the new school year.

Thus virtual workouts were born for junior high and high school athletes. All our junior high and high school coaching staff get on these virtual workouts. Hosting the virtual workouts also builds student discipline, because they have to get up on their own and participate. Any student-athlete who wishes to join the virtual workouts can contact his or her respective coach.

This is the third week of the University Interscholastic Leagues suspension of sports activities because of the health threat caused by the COVID-19 virus. When activities were halted, Uvalde High School still had home soccer, baseball, and softball competition scheduled. We have lost a lot of gate revenues from the soccer, baseball, and softball games that have been canceled, thus far. Fortunately, we hosted two high school and two junior high track meets prior to the suspension of activities. But at present it all comes down to what happens with the coronavirus health threat, said Gonzales.

Each ad ends with Garcia saying the department is hiring, "And I want your family to be part of our police family."
