Tonight at 7:30PM, Texas Talk host Gilbert Garcia talks with former Congressman Charlie Gonzalez.

In late 2012, when Charlie Gonzalez approached his final weeks in the U.S. House of Representatives, then-Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi called it the "end of an era." She had good reason to say that. Gonzalez and his legendary father Henry B. Gonzalez, had, between them, held the 20th congressional seat of Texas for 51 consecutive years. Managing to simultaneously embrace his father's legacy and forge his own path, Gonzalez emerged as a strong voice on issues such as immigration, health care and education.

On this episode, he talks about the state of Texas politics, his remarkable family and how Congress has changed over the years.
