LANSING — American Journal News reported today that Peter Meijer has not filed his personal financial disclosure, in violation of legal requirements. Meijer “comes from a family of billionaires” and appears to be trying to hide his personal finances to avoid scrutiny in the “bloodbath” GOP primary.
U.S. Senate candidates have 30 days from filing to run for office to file their personal financial disclosures. It’s been over 70 days since Meijer filed to run for Senate, and his campaign hasn’t requested an extension.
