I’ll keep voting to end this war for as long as it takes.
I will keep voting to end unauthorized U.S. military action against Iran.
Occurrences
Trump wanted an Iran war, and I voted to make sure he could not use the military to drag us into it without authorization.
Vote Question: On Agreeing to the Resolution Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove the United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran
“I’ll keep voting to end this war for as long as it takes.”
Evidence
Roll Call 170 on May 14, 2026 recorded the House vote on a War Powers resolution directing the President to remove U.S. forces from hostilities against Iran. The roll call lists Gomez, California, as voting Yea, and the resolution failed 212-212.
Gomez's office said he voted for the third time for a War Powers Resolution to force an end to President Trump's unauthorized war with Iran and stated, 'I'll keep voting to end this war for as long as it takes.'
The official Gomez House homepage listed a June 3, 2026 news item titled "Rep. Jimmy Gomez Votes to End Trump’s War in Iran and Reassert Congress’s Authority," with a follow-up item the same day about what came next after passage of the Iran War Powers Resolution.
Assessments
The promise was about Gomez's own conduct: continuing to vote against unauthorized U.S. military action against Iran. The evidence shows he did exactly that during the relevant term, including a recorded Yea vote on the May 14, 2026 Iran War Powers resolution and official House statements that he would keep casting such votes, with another June 2026 office announcement reflecting the same position. Although the resolution itself did not succeed, the promised action was to keep voting for it, not to single-handedly secure final passage or end hostilities.
The promise was framed as a continuing voting commitment, not a guarantee that the War Powers resolution would pass. During his current federal House term, Gomez voted Yea on the May 14, 2026 War Powers resolution directing removal of U.S. forces from hostilities against Iran, consistent with his office statement that he had voted for this outcome multiple times and would keep doing so. The resolution failed, so he did not achieve the broader policy outcome, but he fulfilled the specific promised conduct: continuing to vote to end unauthorized U.S. military action against Iran.
