Ruben Gallego has been the subject of ethics complaints and controversies involving campaign finance and personal conduct. In 2023, a watchdog group filed an ethics complaint alleging he improperly solicited campaign donations by linking them to legislative appeals regarding FEMA relief for extreme heat. Additionally, reports indicate Gallego used campaign and PAC funds for childcare, travel to Disney parks, and a joint Super Bowl fundraiser with former Rep. Eric Swalwell. Gallego maintains these expenditures are legal and necessary for working parents in office. Gallego is currently under investigation by the Senate Ethics Committee regarding unverified allegations of sexual misconduct and campaign finance infractions raised by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. He has denied these allegations, established a legal defense fund, and characterized the claims as politically motivated attacks. Reports also note criticism regarding his conduct during a 2025 congressional trip to Colombia, where he stayed at a club until 3 a.m. despite a reported credible threat to his life. There are no criminal charges or convictions against him.
