Gonzalez Joins Texas Democratic Delegation in Demanding Turnaround of Staggering SNAP Backlog Formed Under Governor Abbott
November 9, 2026
|
Press Release
In the letter, the Members admonished the state’s failure to process SNAP applications on time and keep families in need fed, writing, “Texans are facing increasing delays in accessing critical food and nutrition assistance because SNAP applications are not being processed in a timely manner.

|
Press Release
The Congressman wrote, “As you know, shrimpers in my congressional district and throughout the Gulf region are facing an existential crisis driven by cheaper foreign imports, severe labor shortages, and high fuel prices. The war with Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz are only making things worse. With diesel prices nearly doubling since February, many of our shrimpers are barely operating at a profit. To stay afloat, they must now harvest nearly three times their typical amount to cover fuel costs, which have skyrocketed to almost $80,000 per boat…”
