Henry Barbosa González (born Enrique Barbosa González; May 3, 1916-November 28, 2000) was an American Democratic politician from the U.S. state of Texas, who represented Texas's 20th congressional district from 1961 to 1999. He was unopposed for a full term in 1962 and was reelected seventeen times thereafter. He never faced truly serious opposition, having been unopposed in 1970, 1974, 1976, 1978, 1982, and 1984. In 1997, González fell ill and was unable to return to the House for over a year. Finally, he decided not to run for a 19th full term in 1998. He died in a San Antonio hospital on November 28, 2000. He had long groomed his son, Charlie, to succeed him. Charlie Gonzalez won easily in 1998 and served through January 2013; between them, father and son served 52 consecutive years in Congress.
