Jimmy Gomez: “The winners are clearly the haves, and the losers are clearly the have-nots.”

As I said when the existence of an inquiry was first reported two months ago in the media, years ago, I made personal mistakes outside my marriage.

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.

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.
