CREW Files Senate Ethics Complaint Against MA Senate Candidate Gabriel Gomez

[Mass]

Not sure it is a first, but Gomez certainly starts well: a complaint of CREW BEFORE the election. Generally, people wait until they are elected to get scrutiny from them.

Not even one customer listed. I know that Gomez is a Romney wannabee, but even Romney listed a few customers.

Today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a complaint with the Senate Select Committee on Ethics against Gabriel Gomez, the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts, for failing to name his clients while working for the private equity firm Advent International. Mr. Gomez is running against Rep. Ed Markey (D) to fill the Senate seat vacated by Sen. John Kerry (D) when he was confirmed as Secretary of State. A special election is scheduled for June 25, 2013.
...
Mr. Gomez's campaign website states he "helped pension funds, endowments, and retirement systems invest for their members' retirement" and "helped grow smaller, regional businesses into national, household names -- like apparel company Lululemon." In addition, Advent has reported Mr. Gomez worked for another company, Synventive Molding Solutions. Therefore, it seems naming specific clients raises no particular issues of confidentiality. Although Mr. Gomez must have worked for specific clients in his last two years at Advent, he did not name any clients on the form he filed with the Senate.
Sloan asked, "Why would Advent pay Mr. Gomez hundreds of thousands of dollars if he wasn't servicing so much as a single client? Mr. Gomez boasts about his efforts on behalf of a popular athletic apparel company, but is unwilling to name any of his other clients, even though he is legally required to do so. Why? What is he hiding? The Senate Ethics Committee needs to get to the bottom of this before next month's special election."

Which goes directly to the question I have been asking myself for a couple months now? The rational of Gomez is that we should elect him because he is a former military and a business man. But he gives no indication of why he quit the military after 9 years (after he got very expensive trainings). Nothing illegal in this, but this makes you wonder what is behind this. And then, the guy who can bring jobs to MA because he is a business man wont tell us what jobs he has created as a business man? And he is the one talking about the pond scum?

BTW, this also makes you wonder about the MA media who are not reporting about that, though they reported that Markey did not pay enough to charity, that he was pro life some 30 years ago, and that Gomez did not pay his plumber.
