Timken released a statement on her Twitter account:
"It is clear Congressman Gonzalez's wrongful decision to vote with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to impeach President Trump has undermined his ability to effectively represent the people of the 16th district," Timken's statement said. "Gonzalez should immediately resign so the Republican Party can unify behind new, conservative leadership for the 16th district.
"President Trump is the leader of our Party, and we must have conservative leaders committed to the team if we are going to keep Ohio red and win back majorities in the U.S. House and Senate in 2022," Timken's statement said, adding that Gonzalez by stepping down would put his constituents and the Republican Party first."
