Sen. Ruben Gallego had sexual relationships with two House staffers, sources reveal to The Post

Arizona Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego, a potential 2028 presidential candidate, engaged in sexual relationships with at least two House staffers and his “very flirtatious” habits with others may come back to haunt him, The Post has learned.

The 46-year-old lawmaker admitted to the two relationships — both with aides to Texas Democrats — to one source while a second person said they had recently learned of the romantic entanglements.

A third source confirmed one of the dalliances, both of which are said to have been consensual and occurred during Gallego’s decade representing Phoenix in the House.

The relationships are part of a broader “pattern of mistakes and missteps and judgment calls,” one source said, noting the imbalanced power dynamics of an elected official dating staffers. One of the women was in her 20s and much younger than Gallego at the time.

“What else could there be out there?” this person asked.

Last month, the Senate Ethics Committee dismissed a complaint brought against Gallego by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) that alleged campaign finance violations and sexual misconduct against the Democrat, who was elected to the Senate in 2024.

The panel, chaired by Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), “didn’t ask” about Gallego’s relationships with the staffers — likely because it was unaware — and instead “focused squarely on what Luna presented to them,” an insider said this week.

“Ethics looked in the wrong place,” this person summed up the congressional probe.

Gallego’s office and the two House staffers did not respond to The Post’s requests for comment. Sources said it’s believed the relationships occurred while Gallego was unmarried.

For a Democrat, that’s a resume enhancer.

Sometimes a dalliance is nothing more than a dalliance, not a case of abuse or harassment.
Was he married at the time?
I should have asked.

As Bill Clinton’s supporters used to say, ‘it’s just sex’.

Per the photo that sunk Swallowwell, this D-Bag appeared to also be in the room with the Hookers, his Tennis Shoes gave it away. Gallegos was a known wing man of Swallowswell on Boys night out.

Presidential candidate?
He barely won the Senate only because of suspect voting and the MSM refusing to report any of this.
They knew all about this when he was elected.

I have no love for this leftist pendejo, but if they were unmarried consenting adults and he was not their direct superior, I have a hard time finding why this is an issue.

“Was he married at the time?”

He has been together with his Lobbyist Wife for eight years, married for the last five. He first went to Washington in 2015 which is when this happened (when he was in Congress before being “elected Senator in 2025) So it’s all about the undisclosed timeline of when he was nailing the Staff of some Texas RAT. He is a Democrat so I know where my suspicions are.
