Rob Teilhet is the only Democratic Attorney General Candidate to File his Personal Financial Disclosures On Time

State law requires that all candidates for elected office file a Personal Financial Disclosure that is then open for public inspection on the State Ethics Commission website.

Rob Teilhet qualified for office on Tuesday, April 27 th and filed his personal financial disclosure on Tuesday, May 4 th —within the 7 day timeframe provided by law. Ken Hodges, who qualified to run against Rob Teilhet for the Democratic nomination on Monday April 26 th has still not filed his personal financial disclosure. By law, it should have been filed on Monday, May 3 rd . Also late to file are Republican candidates Sam Olens and Max Wood.

“It's the Attorney General's job to know the law. It should go without saying that a candidate for Attorney General should obey the law,” said Teilhet. “Part of being a quality candidate and a strong elected official is a demonstrated commitment to transparency and ethical behavior.”

The following statement can be found on the State Ethics Commission's website:

Personal Financial Disclosure Schedule Candidate for Public Office:
A Personal Financial Disclosure Statement covering the period of the preceding calendar year shall be filed no later than the fifteenth day following the date of qualifying as a candidate. Candidates for state wide office file not later than seven days after qualifying for office. Only one Personal Financial Disclosure Statement is required per calendar year.
