Jett, Robertson haven’t filed financial disclosure reports

Two Republican congressional candidates in Oklahoma have not filed financial disclosure reports even though they have met the campaign spending threshold.

Shane Jett, of Tecumseh, who is running for the 5th District seat being vacated by Rep. James Lankford, has not filed the required report. Nor has Daryl Robertson, who is challenging freshman Rep. Markwayne Mullin in the Republican primary in the 2nd District.

The House Committee on Ethics handbook regarding financial disclosure reports says: “Individuals are required to file an FD statement once they ‘qualify’ as a candidate by raising or spending more than $5,000 in a campaign for election to the House of Representatives.”

Jeff reported to the Federal Election Commission in April that he had collected nearly $38,000 in contributions from Jan. 1 through March 31.

Robertson, of Jay, reported to the FEC in April that he had raised nearly $18,000 in contributions between Jan. 1 and March 31.
