Gabriel Eduardo Gomez is an American politician and was the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate in the 2013 special election in Massachusetts, to replace U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. Gomez was defeated by U.S. Representative Ed Markey. Gomez is also a private equity investor and former Navy SEAL. Gomez has the rare distinction of having served as both an Aircraft Carrier Pilot and a Navy SEAL.
Gomez was born in Los Angeles, to Colombian immigrants. He grew up in Yakima, Washington, where his father worked as a business executive. Gomez was a good student and star athlete, who brought home the state’s tennis championship for Eisenhower High School in 1983. Gomez's tennis skills attracted recruiters for the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, and he received an appointment. He graduated with merit with an engineering degree on May 20, 1987. He earned his MBA from Harvard Business School.
After becoming a United States Naval Aviator, Gomez flew E-2C Hawkeyes and C-2A Greyhounds off aircraft carriers. While his commanding officer cautioned him against it, he later became a Navy SEAL, graduating at the top of his class. He left the military in 1996. He became a private equity investor, working for Bowles Hollowell Conner in North Carolina and then Summit Partners in Boston.
In 2013, when Massachusetts senior U.S. Senator John Kerry was nominated to be U.S. Secretary of State and resigned his office, Gomez announced his candidacy as a Republican for that office. On April 30, 2013, Gomez defeated former U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts and former Acting Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Michael Sullivan and State Representative Daniel Winslow in the Republican primary with 51% of the vote.[7] He lost the special election to Democratic U.S. Representative Ed Markey on June 25, 2013 by 10 percentage points.
In May 2013, the non-profit group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed an ethics complaint against Gomez with the Senate Select Committee on Ethics for allegedly failing to disclose clients while working for the private equity firm Advent International. Gomez' spokesman dismissed the complaint as "merit-less".
On June 25, 2013, Gomez was defeated by Markey, 55%-45%. Although outside groups participated extensively in support of either candidate in the election, the flood of money that had been expected to be spent on behalf of Gomez did not materialize. Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, indicated that Gomez would run again for the seat in the November 2014 regular election, in an attempt to win a full six-year term. Gomez later decided not to seek elected office during the 2014 election cycle, but has stated he may return to politics in the future.
