Vicente Gonzalez Abandons Texas Small Business Owners

October 12, 2025

Main Street is feeling the squeeze. Out of touch Democrat Vicente Gonzalez’s shutdown is choking cash flow for small businesses, freezing SBA loan approvals, stalling federal payments and contracts, and delaying permits and certifications that keep projects moving. The result: paused hires, missed orders, and tighter margins for the local employers Texans count on.

“While small businesses are hustling to make payroll and keep the lights on, Democrat Vicente Gonzalez shut down the government and put Main Street on hold. Gonzalez needs to stop the political games and reopen the government so job creators can get back to work.” — NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
