NY-06: Meng (D) challenger Chuck Park four months late on financial disclosure
Congressional candidate Chuck Park, who is challenging Queens Rep. Grace Meng from the left, never filed a personal financial disclosure for 2025, House Clerk records show. He also hasn’t filed one for 2026 – though he has until Friday to do so.
Candidates who spend or raise at least $5,000 are required to submit personal financial disclosures to the House Clerk for each year they are in a given race. Since Park raised nearly $140,000 between launching in November and the end of last year, he needed to file disclosures for both 2025 (due Dec. 31) and 2026 (due May 15). The rules are slightly different for incumbents; Meng has until Friday to file her 2025 disclosure, which her campaign said she intends to do.
Park said he was under the impression he’d filed one for 2025 and intended to inquire with the House Clerk about the matter. But that document – which he shared with City & State – is dated April 12, meaning it was still more than three months late from the actual Dec. 31 due date. It also appeared to reflect his 2026 finances, despite being listed as for 2025.
Park’s disclosure doesn’t reveal much. It shows Park is currently not earning any income – having left his $130,000 job at the New York City Economic Development Corp. in the fall ahead of his launch – and his wife made more than $136,000 a year working at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. It also lists a mortgage on his Jackson Heights home.
