Tax returns offer snapshot of Ga. Sen candidates


Georgia voters will soon decide among several candidates vying for the state's open U.S. Senate seat.


The Associated Press requested access to the tax returns of the top candidates who are leading in fundraising and polls ahead of the May 20 primary.


Republicans Karen Handel, Phil Gingrey and David Perdue released their tax returns. Republican Jack Kingston plans to release his but has yet to do so. A spokesman for Democrat Michelle Nunn says she plans to release information beyond her candidate's financial disclosure.


Republican Paul Broun declined and pointed to his disclosures filed annually with Congress.


Those disclosures show Gingrey, Kingston, Nunn and Perdue all reported assets north of $1 million. Perdue and his wife led the field, with assets valued at between $11.9 million and $48 million.
