Biography

Jimmy Gomez is the Democratic incumbent U.S. Representative for California's 34th District in Los Angeles, serving on the Ways and Means and Intelligence committees. A former labor-organization political director, he served in the California State Assembly from 2012 to 2017 before winning a 2017 special election to Congress. He is seeking re-election, and the House Ethics Committee announced a review of allegations about him in August 2026.[1][2][3]

According to his official biography, Jimmy Gomez attended Riverside Community College before earning a B.A. in political science from the University of California, Los Angeles, and an M.A. in public policy from Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government.[1][2] He worked as political director for the United Nurses Associations of California before entering politics.[1] Gomez represented the 51st District in the California State Assembly from 2012 to 2017, and his official biography says he chaired the Assembly Appropriations Committee.[1][2] He won a June 2017 special election to Congress and has represented the 34th District since.[1][2]

In the 119th Congress, Gomez sits on the Ways and Means Committee, including its Tax and Work and Welfare subcommittees, and on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.[1][2] He is a Deputy Whip for Policy of the Democratic Caucus and a Deputy Whip for the Congressional Progressive Caucus, founded and chairs the Congressional Dads Caucus and the Congressional Renters Caucus, and belongs to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus.[1][2] His official biography says he lives in Eagle Rock with his wife and son.[2]

On August 17, 2026, the House Ethics Committee announced it is reviewing allegations that Gomez may have engaged in sexual misconduct, including inappropriate sexual contact with a House staffer; the committee said the existence of an inquiry does not itself indicate a violation occurred.[3][1] Gomez said he has made 'personal mistakes' outside his marriage but that his actions were consensual and did not violate the law or House Ethics rules, and that he respects the Committee's process.[3][1]
