A glamorous Colorado mayor unleashed on a city councilmember at a public meeting as she accused him of sending ‘unacceptable’ sexual emails to her staff.
Heather Graham, 35, who became the first female mayor of Pueblo, Colorado, last year, went public with her allegations against Roger Gomez the event on Monday.
Graham alleged Gomez sent ‘wildly disrespectful’ emails to her staff, including references to his ‘pee pee.’
The mayor said she had been warned by City Council President Mark Aliff not to address the allegations in the meeting, but she said she disagreed as she read aloud part of the alleged correspondence from Gomez.
‘I do not appreciate, Councilor Gomez, emails to my Chief of Staff, quoting this – ‘Hey, I got my pee pee whacked once already, and it hurt so good, just saying,» Graham said.
She continued, saying Gomez added in his email: ‘Look, Goldilocks doesn’t scare me and she can’t hold her breath and stomp her feet with all that she wants.’
Gomez denied that he had acted inappropriately and said the emails had been taken out of context, claiming he was talking about his frustration over a lack of communication from the mayor’s office.
He said he resorted to ‘fourth grade banter’ to get the attention of Graham’s staff, claiming they had been banned from speaking with him and he ‘got fed up.’

The Monday meeting grew tense as Graham made her allegations against Gomez, and she drew applause from the audience as she condemned the councilmember’s behavior.
She told him: ‘I don’t care what you do on your own time, I don’t care what you say to each other, I don’t care what you say to me, but to put an email, a sexual comment, to my city staff, is not tolerable and I’m not going to stand for it.’
Graham said she ordered the City Attorney to draft a policy updating the city council member’s workplace conduct policies, per Fox21.
Gomez did not deny sending the email where he referenced his ‘pee pee’, but insisted that it was taken out of context.
He claimed that Graham was targeting him over politics, saying: ‘I have no choice but to address the tactic that she’s stooping to, in an effort to discredit me or any other person who has the courage to challenge her.
‘I got fed up with no response, nobody calling me back, nobody giving me information, so I can represent my district.’
Gomez claimed that Graham had barred her staff from speaking with him, adding: ‘If this is the best she has to come after me, about fourth grade banter, because I stand up to her and I will continue standing up to her.’

The councilmember went on to reference a recent incident on March 18 when three police officers were reportedly injured near his home, arguing that the emails were not important in comparison.
‘So please excuse me, as I try to keep my family barricaded in the house with my shotgun and a Glock,’ he said.
‘So if I sound a little frustrated, you bet. But I am an elected official, and I refuse to sit down and shut up.’
Gomez did not immediately respond to a request for further comment when contacted by DailyMail.com.
