Gonzalez the Iowa? No, San Antonio reformer in Congress
Gonzalez stood as a stubborn, iconoclastic figure in Congress, praised at home in San Antonio as a defender of the downtrodden while clashing with top Republicans over impeaching Reagan and Bush. He shaped savings and loan bailout policy, exposed 1980s excesses, and pushed a bank deposit insurance overhaul, all while pursuing affordable housing for the poor.

Gonzalez shaped probes that reshaped thrift regulator and Keating scandal
Eight-term Democrat Charles V. Gonzalez led investigations that toppled the chief thrift regulator and implicated S&L owner Charles Keating, exposing Democratic senators with ties to Keating and probing Reagan Bush era links to Iraq. His later years showed restraint, pride in heritage, and a steady home life in San Antonio with Bertha and eight children.
