Senate candidate Greg Orman of Kansas has been accused by Republicans as a Democrat-in-Independent’s clothing, which explains why Orman is surrounding himself with Republicans in the final days of his campaign against GOP incumbent Pat Roberts. Here’s a report from the Lawrence Journal-World:
But the Orman campaign staged the event to dispel that very criticism by having former state Rep. Eric Carter, a conservative Republican from Overland Park, introduce him.
“We’re all worried for our country, and for good reason. We’ve got challenges on the horizon,” Carter said. “The one thing we’ve seen that has now been measured for decades is that it doesn’t appear that the current batch of folks and the current way that we’re doing things is going to meet those challenges.”
Carter may very well prefer Orman to his own party’s nominee, but the two men appear to have more than just a political relationship. According to Orman’s personal financial disclosure form, Carter owes Orman a substantial amount of money.
In the form’s section for unearned income sources, Orman lists one asset as “Eric Carter – Note,” short for a “loan note,” and lists the value of the investment as between $15,001 and $50,000. Orman also lists that he receives no income from this, suggesting the loan is either a no-interest or deferred-interest loan.
The listing is on page 18 of Orman’s long disclosure document. Here’s a picture of it:
