Pence releases tax returns
By Harper Neidig
Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence released tax returns Friday evening dating from 2006-2015 as Donald Trump continues to withhold his own returns.
Pence's documents show his and his wife Karen's adjusted gross income peaked in 2009 at around $187,000 and was $113,000 last year. They paid an effective tax rate of 12.4 percent in 2015.
“The Pence family has been honored to serve their state and their nation for the past 16 years, while raising three great children and putting them through college,” said Marc Lotter, a spokesman for Pence, in a statement.
“These tax returns clearly show that Mike and Karen Pence have paid their taxes, supported worthy causes, and, unlike the Clintons, the Pences have not profited from their years in public service.”
Trump has refused to release his own tax returns, citing an ongoing IRS audit.
