New Mexico candidate for Senate will release tax returns

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver is pledging to release her tax returns as she competes for the Democratic nomination to an open U.S. Senate seat in 2020.
In response to a request from The Associated Press, campaign spokeswoman Heather Brewer said Friday that Toulouse Oliver would release her tax returns.
She is the only candidate so far to submit required financial disclosures with the U.S. Senate Office on Public Records.
Toulouse Oliver is juggling student-loan and credit card debt on a state salary of $85,000 as the single mother of two children that include a college student.
Lone Republican candidate Gavin Clarkson has requested an extension to file his disclosure form by mid-August. The Senate has not received financial disclosures from Democratic candidate and U.S. Rep. Ben Ray Luján.
