(Las Vegas Review-Journal) A Democratic political action committee filed a complaint against GOP congressional candidate Drew Johnson, accusing him of failing to file his latest financial disclosure report.

End Citizens United filed the complaint with the Department of Justice on Thursday, demanding that it investigate Johnson for allegedly failing to file his financial disclosure report that was due May 15.

“This disregard for the law is alarming for someone who is a candidate for federal office,” the group wrote. “Nevada voters must have the opportunity to review properly filed reports to assess Johnson’s fitness for elected office.”

Johnson, who is running against Democratic Rep. Susie Lee, filed a financial disclosure report when he first announced he was running last year, but federal election law requires candidates to file a financial disclosure report on or before May 15 of each successive year that the person continues to be a candidate.
