General election
Campaign
Although Gomez is part of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, his acceptance of funding from the cryptocurrency industry and from American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) led most progressive organizations to instead endorse Gonzales-Torres in the primary and general, including the Justice Democrats, Our Revolution, the California Working Families Party and Los Angeles Democratic Socialists of America.
In August, the House Ethics Committee began an inquiry into whether Gomez had engaged in sexual misconduct. The inquiry followed one into Eric Swalwell, with whom Gomez was personal friends and who had appointed Gomez chair of his Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign before Swalwell suspended the campaign and resigned from Congress amid criminal investigations into alleged rape and sexual misconduct. One former Gomez staffer accused him of sexual assault. Gomez denied any nonconsensual conduct and said that he had made personal mistakes outside his marriage. Gonzales-Torres criticized a "culture in Congress in which men abuse women" and said Gomez should withdraw.
