Greg Orman Worth Tens of Millions According to Disclosure

Independent Senate candidate Greg Orman disclosed his personal financial holdings this week, as required by campaign finance law. The candidate’s net worth falls somewhere between $21.5 million and $86 million, most of that in the form of real estate investments.

Orman’s actual income ranges from $917,000 to $4.5 million.

The independent narrowly leads incumbent Republican Senator Pat Roberts in that hotly contested race.

Democrat Chad Taylor, who ended his bid for the Senate seat a few weeks ago, had originally been told by the state’s conservative Secretary of State that he would still have to appear on the general election ballot. However, the Kansas Supreme Court recently sided with Taylor, agreeing that his formal letter of withdrawal to the Secretary of State’s office should be sufficient to remove his name from the ballot.

Orman will now face off against Roberts, with Libertarian candidate Randall Batson also on the ballot. Democrats see an Orman victory as a possible block against a likely Republican wave that could cause control of the U.S. Senate to shift.
