WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) released the following statement after voting in favor of the Lebanon War Powers Resolution: 

"I just voted to help ensure the U.S. doesn’t get involved in the conflict in Lebanon and to protect our troops from being drawn into another war in the Middle East.

"Let me be clear: Hezbollah is a terrorist organization, and nothing in this vote prevents the United States from defending itself or protecting our troops from terrorist threats.

"But the last thing working families need is another open-ended war that the U.S. has no part in.

"Congress has a constitutional responsibility to decide when and where the United States goes to war, and getting involved in Lebanon isn’t in the interest of Americans at home or abroad."
