Evidence
“Therefore, it is my hope that the House Ethics Committee continues its investigations into both Congressmen – even after their resignations – and publicly releases its investigative report, as appropriate.”
“The Committee ... has begun an investigation and will gather additional information regarding the allegations that Representative Eric Swalwell violated the Code of Official Conduct...”
“Eric Swalwell (2026) ... Loss of jurisdiction” and “Tony Gonzales (2026) ... Loss of jurisdiction.”
Rivas publicly said it was her hope that the House Ethics Committee would continue its investigations into Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales after their resignations and would publicly release its investigative report, as appropriate.
The committee’s public chart lists both Eric Swalwell (2026) and Tony Gonzales (2026) as having outcomes of loss of jurisdiction, indicating the inquiries were not continued through to a public report after resignation.
Rivas publicly urged the House Ethics Committee to continue its investigations into Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales after their resignations and to publicly release its investigative report, as appropriate.
The committee’s public chart lists both the Swalwell (2026) and Gonzales (2026) matters as “Loss of jurisdiction,” not as a continued public report.
"Therefore, it is my hope that the House Ethics Committee continues its investigations into both Congressmen – even after their resignations – and publicly releases its investigative report, as appropriate."
The Committee on Ethics public chart lists both "Eric Swalwell (2026)" and "Tony Gonzales (2026)" with the outcome "Loss of jurisdiction."
The committee’s public chart lists Eric Swalwell (2026) and Tony Gonzales (2026) with the outcome "Loss of jurisdiction."
Rivas said: "Therefore, it is my hope that the House Ethics Committee continues its investigations into both Congressmen – even after their resignations – and publicly releases its investigative report, as appropriate."
The Committee on Ethics chart lists "Eric Swalwell (2026)" with outcome "Loss of jurisdiction" and "Tony Gonzales (2026)" with outcome "Loss of jurisdiction."
The Committee stated it "has begun an investigation" into allegations that Representative Eric Swalwell may have engaged in sexual misconduct, including toward an employee under his supervision.
The Committee voted to establish an Investigative Subcommittee with jurisdiction over allegations that Representative Tony Gonzales may have engaged in sexual misconduct toward an individual employed in his congressional office and/or dispensed special favors or privileges.
Assessments
The promise was framed as Rivas herself urging the House Ethics Committee to continue the Swalwell and Gonzales investigations after resignation and release any investigative report as appropriate. The evidence shows she publicly made that exact request on April 14, 2026 while serving in federal office. The committee later recorded loss of jurisdiction and did not continue to a public report, but that does not negate delivery because the promised action was to urge the committee, not to guarantee the committee's final action.
The promise was about Rivas taking an oversight action herself: urging the House Ethics Committee to continue investigating Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales after their resignations and to release a report as appropriate. She did that in office on April 14, 2026, in a public statement using substantially the same language as the promise. The committee's later decision to record both matters as 'Loss of jurisdiction' does not negate delivery here, because the claim was not that Rivas would force the committee to continue or publish a report, only that she would urge it to do so.
The promise was for Rivas to urge the House Ethics Committee to keep investigating Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales after their resignations and to release a report as appropriate. She did that publicly on April 14, 2026, in an official statement using substantially the same language as the promise. The later committee outcome, recorded as loss of jurisdiction on April 28, 2026, shows the committee did not grant the requested result, but that does not negate delivery because the pledged action was to make the request, not to control the committee’s final decision.
Rivas publicly urged the House Ethics Committee to continue the Swalwell and Gonzales investigations after their resignations and to release a report as appropriate on April 14, 2026, which matches the promise. The later committee outcome of loss of jurisdiction does not negate that she fulfilled the promised action itself.
Rivas publicly issued the statement calling on the House Ethics Committee to continue its investigations into Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales after their resignations and to release its report as appropriate. The later committee chart showing loss of jurisdiction means the committee did not ultimately continue to a public report, but the claim is about Rivas's promise to urge that action, which she fulfilled in office.
Rivas clearly fulfilled the narrow action she personally promised: she publicly urged the House Ethics Committee to continue investigating Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales after their resignations and to release a report as appropriate. However, the broader requested result was not achieved. The committee’s later public chart indicates both matters ended in 'loss of jurisdiction,' meaning the investigations were not continued through to a public report after resignation. Because she made the promised public push but did not secure the requested committee outcome, this is best scored as partial rather than delivered.
