It's an issue only Advance Indiana noticed. Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller filed a financial disclosure statement with the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives as required of candidates running for House seats, which our report found was missing key information about his assets. Zoeller, who is running in a crowded field for the 9th District congressional seat currently held by U.S. Rep. Todd Young, filed an amendment yesterday with the House Clerk disclosing additional assets omitted in his original filing last October.

Zoeller's amended report disclosed a one-third interest he owns in a South Bend company, 2010 Investment Group. Zoeller values his one-third interest at between $1,000 and $15,000 and reported income on it last year of between $200 and $1,000. He also listed two bank accounts, one holding less than $1,000 and a second account holding between $1,000 and $15,000. He also disclosed a Northwest Mutual investment worth between $1,000 and $15,000 and a PERF retirement account worth between $1,000 and $15,000.

Advance Indiana discussed the disclosures made by two of Zoeller's opponents, State Sen. Brent Waltz and State Sen. Erin Houchin, both of which appeared to have been very transparent in their initial filings with the House Clerk. The other contended in the Ninth District, wealthy Jeffersonville businessman, Trey Hollingsworth, has yet to file his statement of economic interest. He requested additional time to prepare his statement, which is currently due on February 18.
