Jimmy Gomez: “Why would they do that?”

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

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

Young people today face challenges that would have been hard to imagine a generation ago, and we have a responsibility to ensure their needs remain front and center.
