GOP Senate hopeful Gabriel Gomez has contended that Rep. Edward Markey, who has not held a public event since last Sunday, has been hiding.
Gabriel Gomez said Edward M. Markey has been absent from the campaign trail “in the midst of probably the worst scandals of a lifetime down in D.C.”
After days of requests from reporters and his GOP Senate opponent, Rep. Markey said he will release his tax returns “in the very near future.”
After days of requests from reporters and his GOP opponent, Democrat US Representative Edward J. Markey said he will release his tax returns “in the very near future” to match the financial disclosure provided by his rival in the US Senate campaign, Republican Gabriel E. Gomez.“I’m going to go back as far as he did and I’m going to release my tax returns,” Markey said on WCVB-TV’s On the Record. But he still declined to commit to a day for their release saying only that he would provide them, “in the very near future.”The Globe has also repeatedly requested a review of tax returns from Markey, who has been in Congress for 36 years. Spokesman Andrew Zucker declined again on Friday to commit to a date for the release, though he, too, assured the disclosure would be made soon.
