Later that day, Rep. Gomez addressed the competence of investors compared to others in the economic field. He questioned the expertise of those advising or making decisions with the statement, "So you know better than investors who have billions, if not trillions of dollars on the line? Got it."

On the following day, April 4, 2025, Gomez criticized the cancelation of a congressional vote that would have allowed new parents to proxy vote. He remarked, "We should be voting this week on letting new parents proxy vote in Congress. But after losing fair & square, Speaker Mike Johnson canceled all votes. Why are Republicans so afraid of helping working parents?" He emphasized the importance of Congress being representative of its constituents.
