Brinker Harding, the Republican candidate for Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, emerged victorious from the crowded primary last week, appearing ready to take on his Democratic challenger in the pivotal race for the swing seat.
One hiccup: It appears Harding has violated a federal ethics law by failing to disclose mandatory details about his personal finances.
Under the Ethics in Government Act, congressional candidates must submit a financial disclosure report within 30 days of raising or spending more than $5,000 — or by May 15, whichever date comes later in a given calendar year.
