Few Surprises In Financial Disclosures By Statewide Candidates

Most of the 13 candidates running for statewide offices this year have pretty routine financial assets, according to their most recent disclosure forms.

MarylandReporter.com is publishing the full 2009 financial disclosure statements of candidates for governor, lieutenant governor, comptroller and attorney general on the web for the first time.

The full documents were then scanned, and are available for viewing here.
