Congressman Gonzalez Statement Following Vote for H.R. 28, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34) released a statement following his vote in favor of H.R. 28, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025.  

“I believe that there should be rules to keep our sports fair and that boys should not play in girls sports. Members of Congress must have the freedom to vote in a manner representative of their district,” said Congressman Gonzalez. “As Democrats, we should not be afraid to vote our district’s values because we're afraid of Washington. When I first ran for Congress, I said I would bring South Texas values to Washington, not the other way around. That’s why I voted to support H.R. 28.  Now I look forward to working with all of my colleagues in this Congress to lower the high cost of living and create economic opportunities for my district." 

Congressman Gonzalez was one of two Democrats who voted to support this bill. One Democrat voted “Present.”
