Elizabeth was among the victims killed in the 2017 Resorts World Manila attack on June 2, 2017.[3] He later married My-my Mercado.[4]
Before becoming a congressman, he was a board member for the same district for one term before running for Congress and winning against Dinan Labung and Tiger Lagman.
He ran for representative in the 2013 elections and received a total of 108,275 votes but lost.
He was one of the signatories of House Resolution 1109 calling for a constituent assembly to amend the Constitution.
The Court of Appeals of the Philippines' Fourth Division Decision dated May 23, 2024, granted Gonzales Jr.'s certiorari annulling Regional Trial Court, Branch 42, San Fernando, Pampanga's judgment.[5] The ruling allowed Gonzalez' intervention in the compromise agreement between San Fernando City and Premier Central, Inc.'s P939 million sale of Paskuhan Village. The "Deed of donation" transferred to San Fernando 5,000 square meters of the 9.3 hectares sold to Premier Central, Inc. and a 2-story building, and a company would construct an amphitheater. Gonzales was granted the right to file complaints on the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority sale decision of Paskuhan Village to Premier Central Inc. (PCI) in 2014 for P939 million.[6]
He has five children named Aurelio III, Aurelio Brenz who is a Civil Engineer and City Councilor of San Fernando, Pampanga, Aurelio Michaeline, Michael Aurelio and Alyssa Michaela - Senior Board Member of Pampanga 3rd district
