Jimmy Gomez: “We must do more to bolster the integrity of the Supreme Court.”

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

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