Comment by Tony Gonzales

U.S. Representative (R–Texas)
I served in the U.S. Navy for 20 years as a cryptologist. While technology has the power to do a lot of good, it’s also important that we prevent our adversaries from using it to harm us. That’s especially true when it comes to our elections, [...]. The Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act builds a strong foundation to protect voters from dishonest AI-generated material. This bill is critical to enhancing our election integrity, and I look forward to working with my colleagues to move this bipartisan proposal across the finish line.

AI Verified Verified: the official September 11, 2025 press release on Rep. Julie Johnson’s House website contains this statement and explicitly attributes it to Representative Tony Gonzales (TX-23). The wording matches the submitted quote, with the user's "[...]" faithfully omitting only the intervening attribution text after "our elections," before the next sentence resumes. LegiStorm mirrors the same press release.
