Jimmy Gomez: “I believe that this is only the next step because I believe the true direction that this administration wants to go...”

I made personal mistakes outside my marriage. Although my actions were consensual in nature and haven’t violated the law or House Ethics rules, that doesn’t diminish the impact that these mistakes have made on those I care about the most.

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

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

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