Brinker Harding filed his personal finance disclosure on Thursday, more than 10 months overdue. Harding, who is running to prevent Democrat Denise Powell from flipping Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District after Rep. Don Bacon’s retirement, told KETV the report proves he has nothing to hide.“As I have said since the beginning of this process, I have nothing to hide,” the statement says. “My financial disclosure confirms just that. I’ve spent my life living, working, and raising my family in Nebraska.” He said two weeks ago he had been unaware of the requirement. The campaign did not say when it became aware of it. The Republican was criticized by Democrats for not filing the report. The executive director of the Nebraska Democratic Party wrote a letter to the Department of Justice last month to call for an investigation. The report is required of all candidates for the House. It includes personal finance information on Harding’s assets and income for 2024 and the first half of 2025. Harding’s campaign said a separate filing for 2026 that was due on May 15 was filed on Friday. It does not yet appear online. Powell hasn’t filed a 2026 report, but she was approved for a 90-day extension that Harding didn’t also request.See Harding’s filing here. See Powell’s filing here.
