Adding double gang switch for two different lights?

Question

I have power coming into a light fixture and down to the switch. I want to add a double gang to put in a second switch that would turn an outlet on/off in the bedroom. What is the proper way to take the power coming into the first switch and run it to the new switch for the outlets?

You just need to pig tail with wire nuts inside the double gang box. You will be pig-tailing one hot one and one ground to each switch. Your neutral does not get tied in with the switch. Just wire nut all the neutrals together
