Founder of Congressional Dads Caucus cheats on wife?

That doesn't mean he's not a good dad. In fact I personally added this family oreinted image to this story to portray him in a better light. He's not some lecherous sleaseball who can't keep it in his pants with his smoking hot aide.

Ok, that didn't come out right. I just don't want to see the leader of the "Dads Caucus" malighned simply because he violated one of the Ten Commandments. Believe me, there are worse infractions on that list.

‘Sleazebag’ Dad Caucus founder Rep. Jimmy Gomez admits to cheating on wife after Post exposé

WASHINGTON — Congressional Dads Caucus founder Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) confessed Tuesday that he cheated on his wife — after The Post in April revealed he was seen kissing a congressional aide outside a DC party.

The Post’s report unleashed a House Ethics Committee investigation, which turned up sordid new details — crushing Gomez’s carefully crafted public image as a doting family man.

“Years ago, I made personal mistakes outside my marriage that have caused real pain to my wife and family,” Gomez told CNN, describing the extramarital relations as “consensual.”

“I sincerely apologize to my wife, family, friends and the people that I have the privilege to serve,” said Gomez, who in January 2023 wore his baby son in a sling around his neck during marathon votes for House speaker.

“I sought professional assistance to help re-center and heal the relationships that mean everything to me, and move forward with the honesty, transparency, and respect that everyone deserves from the people they love. I continue to do this work.”

The Los Angeles Democrat was spotted making out with a much younger congressional aide for a different lawmaker outside the home of then-Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), The Post revealed in April.

Gomez, who is married, was making out with the aide at Swalwell’s bash to celebrate the start of that year’s August recess.

Attendees did not recall seeing his wife or 11-month-old son.

Swalwell resigned in disgrace following a series of sexual misconduct allegations against him earlier this year.

“This guy [Gomez] is a sleazebag. He should resign and use his free time to trade war stories with Swalwell,” said one Democratic source familiar with the matter.

“Hopefully he doesn’t hook up with another chief of staff at Eric Swalwell’s house. One is too many.”

Gomez and the younger Hill staffer were seen kissing by a stunned group of Democratic congressional aides, two of whom recounted their surprise to The Post. A third source heard of Gomez’s alleged relationship with the woman from additional Democratic sources.

The Post did not initially publish the name of the woman involved.

Gomez, a close Swalwell friend, strongly denied The Post’s reporting in April and his confession did not specify particular wrongdoing.

A spokesman did not immediately offer comment on whether he was confessing to the relationship reported by The Post — after his blanket denials.

Gomez, who represents a heavily Democratic district in Los Angeles, also gave no indication that he planned to resign.

“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,” Gomez said in his statement.

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