Ernest's Positions on Key Issues
Economy
HighErnest Gonzales criticizes the current administration's economic policies, including the 2017 Trump tax cuts and the "One Big Bill," asserting they have increased the national deficit and debt. He advocates for "Putting People’s Needs First" and highlights his work in semiconductor manufacturing aimed at retaining high-paying jobs in the U.S.
“The Trump tax cuts of 2017 and now furthered with the One Big Bill have accelerated our deficit and debt, which went from $37,000,000,000,000 to $38T in just 2 months. A rate to be at $44T by the November election. They are cashing in while our future pays the price. Vote Dem! [...] After retirement, my next 29 years were working the technicalities of semiconductor manufacturing with Texas Instruments in the Dallas area, keeping high paying jobs in this critical industry here in America." — Ernest Gonzales, Ballotpedia (context: candidate statement for Texas' 26th Congressional District election, 2026)”

“Ernest Gonzales: It occurred to me that nearly every university has a public relations/legislative office, entities we should include next time. As one staff member said: we must stand as a unified block. I learned more than 10 years ago in your Policy Leadership Institute and was reminded today that it’s about building relationships; ensuring the research doesn’t stay in journals but is conveyed to policymakers and the public.
