MENENDEZ CAMPAIGN: KYRILLOS’ PERSONAL FINANCES RAISE MORE QUESTIONS THAN THEY ANSWER

What devils are in the unreported details of Joe Kyrillos’ outside income?

NEW BRUNSWICK – U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez’s campaign released the following statement in response to his opponent’s release of three years of tax returns.

“Joe Kyrillos’s personal finances raise more questions than his tax returns can answer. Kyrillos makes a substantial income in addition to what he is paid as a public official, and it is incumbent upon him to disclose the nature of the work he does at Newport Capital, Kyrillos Real Estate and any other outside enterprises in which he is involved,” said Michael Soliman, Menendez For Senate Campaign Manager. “Without knowing the nature of Joe Kyrillos’ reported outside income, New Jerseyans are left with no assurances that this income is entirely unrelated to his public duties.”

Senator Menendez announced last night that he will release his personal tax returns for the past five years on Thursday, August 23, at 11 a.m. at his campaign headquarters.

“Reviewing Senator Menendez’s returns will reveal his only salary comes from his working as a US Senator,” Soliman said.
