Jimmy Gomez: “Some people say it is only 250 to 500, or even 700 bucks a month, but to working people that is a lot of money.”

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

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