Cheney discloses financial interests
Roger Hannigan Gilson in the Times Union digs in to financial disclosures obtained from the campaign of Jamie Cheney, a candidate running for the new 19th Congressional District seat in a primary Aug. 23 against fellow Democrat Josh Riley. Cheney has loaned her primary campaign $100,000. As an individual, Cheney has joint assets valued at between just under $4 million and just under $15 million, as candidates must only categorize their assets by ranges of value. She is a landlord to a property in New York City and another in Rhinebeck. She also owns and lives in a 65-acre farm in Rhinebeck. She is currently making money from consulting fees and dividends, as well as the rental properties. “Jamie Cheney started a successful business that holds Wall Street accountable by advocating for working parents to have rights like comprehensive healthcare, childcare and flexible work hours,” according to a statement from her campaign. “She is running for Congress to protect reproductive healthcare, pass meaningful gun reform and help working families across the district.” Read more about this story in the Times Union.
