Meng challenger Chuck Park four months late on financial disclosure

Congressional candidate Chuck Park, who is challenging Queens Rep. Grace Meng from the left, never filed a personal financial disclosure for 2025, House Clerk records show. He also hasn’t filed one for 2026 – though he has until Friday to do so. 

Candidates who spend or raise at least $5,000 are required to submit personal financial disclosures to the House Clerk for each year they are in a given race. Since Park raised nearly $140,000 between launching in November and the end of last year, he needed to file disclosures for both 2025 (due Dec. 31) and 2026 (due May 15). The rules are slightly different for incumbents; Meng has until Friday to file her 2025 disclosure, which her campaign said she intends to do.

Park said he was under the impression he’d filed one for 2025 and intended to inquire with the House Clerk about the matter. But that document – which he shared with City & State – is dated April 12, meaning it was still more than three months late from the actual Dec. 31 due date. It also appeared to reflect his 2026 finances, despite being listed as for 2025. 

Park’s disclosure doesn’t reveal much. It shows Park is currently not earning any income – having left his $130,000 job at the New York City Economic Development Corp. in the fall ahead of his launch – and his wife made more than $136,000 a year working at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. It also lists a mortgage on his Jackson Heights home. 

While Park confirmed he plans to file the second disclosure by Friday. Asked why the first disclosure wasn’t filed on time, he said, “My campaign is ensuring we are in compliance with all Form B filing requirements.”

He also criticized Meng’s 2024 disclosure, which reported her husband had stock worth between $1,000 to $15,000 in defense contractor L3Harris. Her campaign declined to comment on that.
