Rep. Jimmy Gomez Joins End Corruption Caucus

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) joined the End Corruption Caucus, a coalition of lawmakers committed to rooting out corruption in government, restoring transparency and accountability, and ensuring the federal government works for the American people and not the wealthy and well-connected. “Americans are tired of watching our elected leaders use their position and power to cash in while working families struggle to afford the basics,” said Rep. Gomez . “I’m joining the End Corruption Caucus to stop insider trading in Congress, take dark money out of politics, and hold both parties accountable to the people.” Rep. Gomez is a leading voice in the fight to expose corruption, demand accountability, and protect democratic institutions. He has consistently spoken out against abuses of power, called out efforts by President Trump to personally profit from the presidency, and used congressional oversight to hold the administration accountable. Rep. Gomez has also backed legislation to strengthen ethics laws and restore public trust, including: The Restore Trust in Government Act, which would ban Presidents, Vice Presidents, Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from owning or trading individual stocks to eliminate conflicts of interest and ensure officials serve the public—not their portfolios. The Don't Settle for Corruption Act, which would prevent federal agencies from allowing corporations and powerful individuals to escape accountability through settlement agreements that shield them from criminal prosecution. The DISCLOSE Act, which would shine a light on dark money in federal elections by requiring organizations spending money to influence campaigns to disclose their major donors. The End Corruption Caucus was launched by Representatives Jason Crow (CO-06), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14), and Mike Levin (CA-49), and works to advance legislation that strengthens ethics laws, limits the influence of dark money in politics, increases government transparency, and restores Americans' trust in their elected leaders. ###
