From today’s Joplin Globe (emphasis is mine):
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Two candidates for the 129th district’s state representative race in Missouri have been disqualified for failing to meet a deadline on a financial disclosure report.
A Republican, Adolfo Castillo, and a Democrat, Jim West, have been disqualified from the race, according to records on the Web site of Secretary of State Robin Carnahan.
West said his campaign financial report was filed, but that he overlooked filing a personal finance report that was due April 20. He said he received a letter from the state on April 22 in regard to the deadline and that he has since filed the report. He said he is looking into whether he can re-enter the race.
Castillo could not be reached for comment.
The Associated Press reports that 16 other House candidates were disqualified for missing the deadline.
Two candidates for nationwide offices were also disqualifed, according to the secretary’s list. They are Republican Bob Brown, of Springfield, who was running for U.S. Representative in the 7th District; and Libertarian candidate Martin Lindstedt, of Granby, for the U.S. Senate.
