Congressman Gonzalez Applauds Implementation of Mask Mandates in South Texas Schools

MCALLEN, Texas – Today, Congressman Vicente Gonzalez (TX-15) issued a statement following the implementation of mask mandates at several South Texas schools:

"Mask mandates are not about politics - they are safe, effective and backed by science. I stand by and applaud the educational leaders who have defied Governor Abbott's illogical executive order banning mask mandates. Superintendents and schools in South Texas must be able to implement common-sense precautions to keep students, teachers, families and essential workers safe."
