J.D. Vance still hasn't submitted his personal financial disclosure despite months-long extension

[TexasTowelie]

Ohio Senate candidate J.D. Vance still has not released his personal financial disclosure since blowing past the Oct. 29 deadline.

The venture capitalist’s campaign already received a 90-day extension to submit the disclosure, a financial disclosure form required by federal law for U.S. Senate candidates. Such document makes a Senate candidate’s major income sources public information for voters. If Vance’s campaign misses the extra 30-day grace period deadline later this month, it must pay a $200 penalty.

Vance campaign spokesman Taylor Van Kirk told Roger Sollenberger of The Daily Beast that the campaign is “working on the report” and plans to submit it by the new deadline.

Although his 2016 memoir “Hillbilly Elegy” helped craft his pitch that he’s for small-town Ohioans, his subsequent career as a venture capitalist in the tech industry threatens to undercut his position as an anti-Big-Tech warrior. After graduating from Yale University, he worked for multiple firms created by Paypal founder Peter Thiel and AOL co-founder Steve Case. Vance then founded his own fund, Naya Capital, with funding from Thiel, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and internet pioneer Marc Andreesen.
