Uvalde, Texas representative Tony Gonzales says the mental health problems plaguing the United States are something that can bring both parties together.
Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, weighed in on the aftermath of the Uvalde school shooting, saying that he is "tired of the inaction" and that the U.S. is facing a mental health problem.You know, I grew up near Uvalde, Uvalde is home to me. It's not a dot on the map somewhere, and I'm focused on our community getting whole again. I welcome anyone that wants to visit, anyone that wants to help us.
I'll give you some examples that aren't getting talked about. The mental health problem in this country, the mental health problem in Uvalde. You know, in the state of Texas, there are 1,000 mental health beds for a population of 30 million. That is a problem. We need to focus more on that. You know, I think this is something that can bring the two parties together. At the end of the day, though, we are mothers, we're fathers, we're daughters, we're sons.
