Jimmy Gomez: “I always said that this river, you know, when you try to take on nature, nature often fights back.”

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

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.
