Frank Lopez Jr. America First candidate
In his Facebook Live Stream announcement Lopez Jr. shared with viewers that he will be on the ballot in November’s General Election. Also mentioning that he knows he will be attacked by who he calls a “RINO” (Republican In Name Only) Tony Gonzales. The Maverick Times looked into this claim by the America First candidate and sure enough we uncovered the following:
Tony Gonzales has already started attacking the America First candidate by creating a website under domain name franklopezjr.com. If you scroll down at the bottom the website details that it was PAID FOR BY TONY GONZALES FOR CONGRESS. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE WEBSITE.
In this website there are two quoted statements from the Eagle Pass News Leader. We were not able to confirm if the Eagle Pass News Leader made the statements about Frank Lopez Jr. because they were nowhere to be found on their website. Although we did find this article made on December 2021 entitled: “Val Verde Republican Chair Not So Republican.” The Eagle Pass News Leader rants on about the American First candidate without any objectivity or evidence to support their claims. We dug a little deeper on the Tony Gonzales and Eagle Pass News Leader connection:
According to the Federal Election Commission, the TONY GONZALES FOR CONGRESS Campaign Fund paid the Eagle Pass News Leader over $7,000 under the “media” category from February 2020 to October 2020 CLICK HERE TO SEE THE REPORT. On June 26, 2020 the Eagle Pass News Leader endorsed Tony Gonzales for Congress in the Republican Run off. Making an appearance on a video of the post is the Publisher Rex McBeath, a well-known Maverick County employee CLICK HERE TO SEE THE POST.
The Maverick Times News reached out to Congressman Tony Gonzales several times but we have been unsuccessful in getting a response. We have emailed the Eagle Pass News Leader some question related to this article but we have not received a response at the time this was published.
Editor’s Note
HISTORY
Frank Lopez Jr. enrolled in the United States Army in 1984 where he served as a Military Policeman (MP) stationed in Georgia and deployed to Honduras and later West Germany. He served the country until 1987. Lopez Jr. followed in his father’s footsteps by joining the U.S. Border Patrol, he was stationed in Del Rio, Texas. Through his service with Border Patrol, he became an ordained minister and is considered one of the founding members of the U.S. Border Patrol Chaplaincy Program. Lopez Jr. retired in 2018 to follow the calling of God and his country.
After his retirement he became involved in politics as the campaign manager for grassroots conservative candidate Raul Reyes Jr. In a 2020 Republican Primary Election Runoff Tony Gonzales nearly lost to true conservative Raul Reyes Jr. as the difference was less than 50 votes. This was an incredible feat for Reyes Jr. with the heavy funding advantage Gonzales had. Lopez, Jr. later became the Val Verde County Republican Chairman and the SREC Committeeman for Texas Senate District 19. He eventually resigned his post as the Republican Chairman in order to run as the only America First Candidate for Congressional District 23 in Texas.
