Schmidt Campaign Calls on Wulsin to Fix False Information on FederalFinancial Disclosure Forms

Cincinnati, Ohio -- Today the Campaign Spokesman for Congresswoman Jean Schmidtissued a warning to her Democrat opponent Victoria Wulsin to correct false informationon her federal financial disclosure documents or face formal charges.“This is the third election that Ms. Wulsin has made an issue of corruption and cleaningup Washington, but apparently her words are nothing more than empty rhetoric,” BrucePfaff, Schmidt Campaign Spokesman, said.Wulsin has been required by law to file personal financial disclosure statements since shefirst ran for Congress in 2005, yet there are several inconsistencies in those reports withassets appearing in some and not in others. Pfaff said that Ms. Wulsin has violated thelaw and her oath in her own personal financial disclosure documents. A 1,100 acre farmshe owns in Pike County suddenly appeared in a financial disclosure report this year eventhough she has owned it since 1993. And even though it appears to be a working farm,no income has ever been reported from its operation.“It’s time for some real honesty from Ms. Wulsin. More importantly, it is time for somehonest answers. When you sign these disclosure forms you swear under penalty of lawthey are correct. That is clearly not the case,” Pfaff added.Wulsin has not, according to her discloser documents, held a job since 2004 when she leftthe Heimlich Institute; a claim she has also made in the media and on her resume, yet her financial disclosure filings list no income.“If Ms. Wulsin did work for the Heimlich Institute as she claims, how much did she makeand who paid her? It’s the only job she has had in four years—surely she hasn’tforgotten,” Pfaff questioned.-more-
