The Senate Ethics Committee has dismissed allegations that Senator Ruben Gallego, Democrat of Arizona, engaged in sexual misconduct and violated campaign finance laws, after an investigation prompted by a complaint from a Republican congresswoman.
In a private letter dated June 26, which Mr. Gallego blasted out in a news release on Monday, the bipartisan ethics panel wrote that it did not find evidence that your actions violated federal law, Senate rules or related standards of conduct.
The committee said it had reviewed statements by individuals identified in the complaint, as well as campaign finance reports, expenditure reports from the clerk of the House of Representatives and other documents.
Representative Anna Paulina Luna, Republican of Florida, first made accusations against Mr. Gallego, who is mulling a run for president in 2028, in an April interview with CBS News.

Glad to see my senator cleared.
Having said that, I do not think he is qualified to be president. At least, not yet.

Didn't support the idea of Senator Kelly running for POTUS last time, but he has done a lot of work and now, I would get behind a Kelly Candidacy in a split second.
Gallego has a lot of work to do before he should be considering the Oval. Give it time, the young man IS doing a lot of growing, but he's not close to ready yet.
