Rep. Jimmy Gomez, currently serving as the U.S. Congress representative for California’s 34th district, issued a series of statements on April 1, 2025. Gomez, who replaced Xavier Becerra in 2017, has used his tenure to advocate for various causes. The Democratic representative graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles, and has lived in Los Angeles, and has been active in issues from legislative reforms to social justice.

In a Twitter post, Rep. Jimmy Gomez addressed allegations surrounding a political scandal, which he dubbed "Signalgate." He stated on April 1, 2025, at 21:53:43 UTC: "Signalgate isn’t just a scandal; it’s a cover-up in progress. We need an independent investigation now because the Trump administration’s stonewalling won’t erase the truth."

Earlier on the same day at 20:33:08 UTC, although details of this tweet are not disclosed, Gomez shared an undisclosed tweet linked here: https://x.com/RepJimmyGomez/status/1907169379659231587.

Later, Gomez paid tribute to a community leader, Father Estrada, with whom he associates efforts advocating for immigrants and workers. On April 1, 2025, at 22:48:06 UTC, he wrote: "Father Estrada was a LA legend and advocated for immigrants and workers alongside César Chávez. Father Estrada modeled putting faith into action by using La Placita as a welcoming refuge to all. We will miss him dearly. Rest in Power, Father Estrada."
