STEFANIK CAMPAIGN TO MIKE DERRICK: “WHY WON’T YOU RELEASE YOUR TAXES?”
-On Tax Returns, Transparency, Colorado Republican Turned Democrat Should Follow Stefanik’s Lead –
Glens Falls, NY: Elise for Congress Communications Director Lenny Alcivar released the following statement calling on former Colorado Republican, turned newly minted Democrat Mike Derrick to immediately release his tax returns:
“Congresswoman Stefanik believes in transparency for our public officials,” said Alcivar. “That’s why she released her tax returns when she ran for Congress, and has made her current tax returns publicly available online. Its now time for our opponents to do the same.”
“Mike Derrick, why won’t you release your tax returns for all North Country voters to see? Is it because you own several real estate properties in Colorado?”
In keeping with her pledge for transparency, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik’s 2015 tax returns and personal financial disclosure are available on her website: https://stefanik.house.gov/about/financial-disclosures
In 2015, her marginal tax rate was 28% and effective tax rate was 23%.
