Congressional Candidates Clash On Financial Disclosures
- Associated Press
Republican congressional candidate Mark Moores on Tuesday criticized Democratic rival Melanie Stansbury for voting in 2019 for a budget bill in the state Legislature that benefited a one-time client of her consulting practice, in a news release.
A spokeswoman for Stansbury called the criticism a baseless political attack and highlighted Moores' refusal to file a disclosure about his personal finances as a U.S. House candidate. A spokesman for Moores said that this year's delayed federal tax deadlines have stood in the way of the financial disclosure requirement.
Early in-person and absentee voting is well underway ahead of the June 1 special election to fill the 1st Congressional District seat held by Deb Haaland before her confirmation as Secretary of the Interior under President Biden.
