Source of loan for GOP challenger in Arizona’s 4th district race unclear | app
WASHINGTON — Kelly Cooper, the Republican challenging Democratic Rep. Greg Stanton in Arizona’s 4th District, changed his personal financial disclosure this month after a CQ Roll Call investigation, disclosing more assets and recent salary.
Cooper said he lent more than $1.3 million to his congressional campaign from July last year to June 27, but his assets and salary on required disclosure forms did not appear to identify where he got so much money, even after changing the report. He first disclosed assets of up to $100,000 and income for the current year of about $220,000.
