Jimmy Gomez: “This is a bill that is bipartisan. I was the first one to introduce a post-office-naming bill in this Congress.”

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 take full responsibility and have committed myself to working through the pain privately with my wife and family.

Burdensome eligibility rules make it harder for families to get ahead. The ASSET Act removes outdated savings limits from programs that help families afford food, utilities, and other basic needs.

I opposed this bill, especially as amended, because it expands the Department of Defense's authority into areas traditionally handled by civilian agencies.
