Jimmy Gomez: “I appreciate the bipartisan attention that this issue is receiving, that this hearing is attracting, and look forward to…”

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

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

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.
