ALBANY – One Republican
and three Democratic candidates for the State Senate and Assembly from
the Hudson Valley did not meet the deadline for filing financial disclosures,
according to a report issued by the Joint Commission on Public Ethics.
Democratic 104th District Assembly candidate Kevindaryan Lujan said his
forms were send out and will arrive today (Friday) at the latest. “I
have zero conflicts and basically everything in the form was either NA
or None,” he said.
Another Democratic candidate for the 104th Assembly District, Jonathan
Jacobson, said his form was submitted and he doesn’t know why his
name was on the list.
Republican 39th Senate District candidate Thomas Basile’s form was
delivered to staff in Albany earlier this week, according to his campaign
spokesman Robert Driscoll, who said Basile’s opponent, Democrat
James Skoufis, is “so desperate to get voters to forget that New
York’s most corrupt politician bankrolled him for years, he’ll
take any occasion to smear Mr. Basile.”
But, Skoufis said Basile’s submitting the form “yesterday”
still made the filing 24 days late.
Democratic 42nd State Senate candidate Pramilla Malick said she received
the forms “about a week ago and I will need some information from
my husband to fill it out accurately.” She said he will is traveling
so she will submit the form “as soon as the information I need,
which will hopefully be by Monday.”
Malick said her’s is “an entirely grassroots campaign so we
are learning as we go. We don’t have paid staffers and expensive
lawyers.”
