The House Ethics Committee is reportedly investigating Rep. Jimmy Gomez over sexual misconduct allegations, including a reported 2023 encounter with a congressional staffer. Gomez said he would cooperate and that his actions did not violate House ethics rules.
CNN reported that the House Ethics Committee learned of additional sexual misconduct allegations while examining a report about Gomez’s conduct with a staffer in 2023. The committee declined to comment. Gomez said he would cooperate with the investigation, acknowledged making “personal mistakes” outside his marriage, and said his actions did not violate House ethics rules.
The report also describes Gomez’s campaign challenge from Angela Gonzales-Torres. After the investigation was reported, Gonzales-Torres said she takes political corruption and the abuse of women seriously and called for accountability if Gomez had engaged in or concealed criminal behavior.
