By Fredreka Schouten | CNNScandal-plagued Rep. George Santos filed paperwork Tuesday with federal regulators formally declaring his 2024 candidacy. The formal declaration does not mean that the embattled congressman has to pursue reelection. Tuesday was the deadline for Santos to respond to federal regulators’ demand. Notably, his statement of candidacy said that he does not anticipate expending his personal funds on a reelection bid. In Santos’ previous, failed bid for Congress, in 2020, his personal financial disclosure form listed no assets and a salary of $55,000.
