A Legacy of Service: Rep. Charles A. Gonzalez
February 6, 2013
CHCI is proud to share the following biographical article on former Rep. Charles A. Gonzalez.
Few people possess the inherent commitment to become a public servant. It takes a particular type of human being, selfless and hard-working in nature, to take on such noble yet strenuous responsibility. Rep. Charles A.
