Mr. Johnson states that he did not know he was required to file a personal financial disclosure statement. He thought that because he did not accept campaign contributions, he was not required to file. Mr. Johnson further explains that he has not filed his federal taxes for 2014, 2015 or 2016. He states that he intends to get current with filing his tax returns and will also file the personal financial disclosure statement.
