Jimmy Gomez: “I am passionate about this issue because people see policy on if it is working or not, with how it impacts their own…”

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

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

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.
