The Senate Ethics Committee dismissed a misconduct complaint against Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ). Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) filed a sexual misconduct and a campaign finance violation complaint against Gallego earlier this year.
“We are writing to inform you that the Select Committee on Ethics (the Committee) dismissed a complaint filed against you by Representative Anna Paulina Luna,” the letter from the Senate Ethics Committee states. “Specifically, the complaint alleged campaign finance violations and inappropriate conduct of sexual nature. In response to your request for an investigation, the Committee referred these allegations to you and requested additional information on April 17 and May 15, 2026. Based on the investigation of the Committee, the Committee did not find evidence that your actions violated Federal law, Senate Rules, or related standards of conduct.”
Gallego praised the dismissal.
“The dismissal by the Ethics Committee reaffirms what I have said about these accusations from the beginning: they were right-wing conspiracies peddled by far-right activists like Anna Paulina Luna, the White House, and their allies,” Gallego said on social media. “I look forward to an apology from Rep. Luna for weaponizing the ethics process while refusing to investigate historic corruption that’s making life harder for families. In the meantime, I will continue fighting for Arizonans and holding Trump Republicans accountable for high costs and new wars.”
Luna rebuked Gallego’s conspiracy claims.
“These are not conspiracy theories,” Luna said. “You’re a gross example of representation. Need I mention you leaving your pregnant wife during your Campaign for Senate? There are plenty of people who know about your antics. The good news about DC is everyone talks, and eventually the reporters come forward with your texts. Do yourself a favor and keep raising for your legal defense fund. Once a creep always a creep, and you’re gonna need it.”
