Related: About this forumLatimer Fails to Disclose Finances in Closely-Watched Democratic Primary
In New York, early voting begins on June 15 in one of the most expensive and high-profile congressional races in the country, where incumbent Rep. Jamaal Bowman faces a Democratic primary challenge from Westchester County Executive George Latimer. But to date, New Yorkers have not been able to see a personal financial disclosure for Latimer, even as millions of dollars in outside spending flood the district to promote him to voters.
Under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, U.S. House candidates are required to file financial disclosures with the Clerk of the House within 30 days of qualifying as a candidate. Latimer, who publicly launched his campaign in the first week of December and registered with the Federal Election Commission on December 4, still has not filed his disclosure.

The disclosures include information on candidates' sources of income, positions held with companies and other nongovernmental organizations, financial assets worth $1,000 or more, liabilities, agreements they may have regarding future employment, and gifts they have received from people other than relatives. The disclosures also contain information about the financial interests of candidates spouses and dependent children.
According to Sludges review of candidate disclosures in all of New Yorks 26 congressional races, the Latimer campaign is in the minority in not filing a financial disclosure. There are at least five other primary contests in New York races for the U.S. House this month (in the First, Tenth, Fourteenth, Twenty-Second, and Twenty-Fourth Congressional Districts). Of the challengers in these races, six candidates have filed personal financial disclosures with the Clerk, while one appears to have not filed, and one has not reported meeting the $5,000 threshold to the FEC.
