Any statement by the NRCC that Tommy Sowers is out of compliance with the House personal financial disclosure reporting requirements is categorically false and defamatory. The procedures of the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct permit a federal candidate to seek an extension of time up to ninety days to prepare personal financial disclosure reports. Tommy Sowers made a timely request on October 7th, 2009 for an extension to prepare and file the personal disclosure report in order to ensure its accuracy. He intends to file the report shortly in full compliance with the law and well before the true deadline of January 6th, 2010.
Please see the letter from the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct granting the extension below:
