Today, Congresswoman Laura Richardson released the following statement in response to the House Committee on Standards and Official Conduct's dismissal of all allegations against her and its confirmation that no violation of law or conduct was found:
After a long, deliberate and comprehensive review, the bipartisan House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct has unanimously and unequivocally rejected all of the allegations against me and confirmed that I violated no law or standard of conduct.

I would like to thank the constituents of California's 37th Congressional District, who have continued to evaluate my performance by the service we provide to them, the State of California and the Nation.

I'd like to acknowledge both my district and capitol staffs, who have remained focused in providing quality services, and whose professionalism, expertise, care and legislative and constituent services have been nothing short of amazing.

I'd like to express my deepest gratitude to my family and church support, who have never wavered in their support of me.

Today closes a chapter and opens a door. The Committee's bipartisan report confirms that I have at all times acted in accordance with my ethical duties as a Member of Congress. I am thankful this is over and behind me and I can continue to do what I enjoy, which is serving the people of California's 37th District.
