Jimmy Gomez: “It costs more in the long run not to do anything, right?”

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.

Young people today face challenges that would have been hard to imagine a generation ago, and we have a responsibility to ensure their needs remain front and center.

I have and continue to sincerely apologize to my family, friends, and the people that I have the privilege to serve.
