Jimmy Gomez: “Their hypocrisy that they choose life is astounding at best and cynical at worst.”

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.

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

I stand ready to cooperate with the Ethics Committee inquiry and provide it with whatever information it might need.

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