Jimmy Gomez: “Everyone must be counted.”

As I said when the existence of an inquiry was first reported two months ago in the media, years ago, I made personal mistakes outside my marriage.

I stand ready to cooperate with the Ethics Committee inquiry and provide it with whatever information it might need.

I respect the Committee's process and am confident that a full and impartial review of the facts will bear that out.

I am deeply sorry to my wife for the pain and embarrassment that I have brought into our lives.
