BOSTON (AP) - Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Michael Sullivan and his wife Theresa have reported earning more than $3.2 million between 2002 and 2011.
The couple paid about $741,000 in federal income taxes and $158,000 in state income taxes during the ten-year period.
That translates into $890,000 in combined state and federal income taxes at total tax rate of more than 27 percent as a percentage of their adjusted gross income.
The primaries are scheduled for April 30. The special Senate election is June 25.
GOP Senate hopeful Gabriel Gomez reported earning more than $8.5 million between 2007 through 2011, paying nearly $1.9 million in taxes, while fellow Republican candidate Daniel Winslow reported earning nearly $2.9 million between 2003 and 2010. He paid an average of 22 percent in federal taxes on that income.
