(Politico) Republican congressional candidate Alison Esposito, who’s vying for a seat in suburban New York, failed to disclose her stock holdings as required under federal law, records show.
Esposito is one of several New York Republicans vying for a competitive House seat that could decide control of the chamber next year, but she’s the only Republican challenger in the Hudson Valley. She’s trailing by five points against Ryan, a decorated combat veteran, according to an Emerson College poll from Oct. 7.
Ryan’s team also declined to comment on Esposito’s disclosure forms. Others — like End Citizens United, a campaign finance watchdog that aims to elect more Democrats — were not as reluctant.
“It is required by law to disclose which stocks you’re invested in, and her salary reporting raises serious questions given her purported retirement date,” said that group’s president, Tiffany Muller. “Voters deserve answers because — and I can’t stress it enough — this is not normal.”
As Muller alluded to, Esposito’s disclosure forms also reveal inconsistencies in the income data she reported.
