At least one House Democrat has resigned from the Congressional Dads Caucus, after its chair, California Rep. Jimmy Gomez, became the subject of a sexual misconduct investigation.
Massachusetts Rep. Jake Auchincloss dropped out of the caucus, according to his office. The voluntary congressional group formed for the purpose of advocating to “uplift parents and children across the country,” and is made up of about three dozen Democratic lawmakers, mostly men, according to the caucus website.
“Yes, he has resigned from the Dads Caucus; that leadership is up to the members of the caucus,” spokesperson Georgina Burros responded when asked by NOTUS if Auchincloss planned to call for Gomez to step down as chair.
