| Description | Most people wouldn’t forget about a bank account with a quarter million dollars in it — and if New Hampshire GOP congressional candidate Frank Guinta doesn’t have an explanation for doing just that, he should drop out of the race, former New Hampshire GOP Rep. Jeb Bradley told POLITICO.
Guinta, the former mayor of Manchester, included a bank account worth $250,000 to $500,000 on his most recent financial disclosure forms, the Manchester Union Leader reported Thursday. The bank account had never before appeared on his forms, a fact Guinta chalked up to an “inadvertent oversight.”
It’s a problem, because Guinta has loaned his campaign $245,000 of the $577,000 he’s raised—and if that isn’t money he earned himself, he’s violating campaign finance laws that cap contributions at $2,400 per person.
“If there’s not a satisfactory explanation,” Guinta “absolutely,” should drop out, Bradley told POLITICO. “It would be an obstacle, I think, that would prevent any nominee that had any kind of issue, to successfully compete against Carol Shea-Porter.
“I think it’s very damaging ... how you forget something like that is just pretty hard to explain. The average person wouldn’t forget,” Bradley said. “If you were Warren Buffett, possibly.”
