PORTLAND – A Republican candidate for Congress is more than five months late in filing a financial disclosure statement in Washington.

Dean Scontras of Eliot says he will file the statement as soon as possible, calling the delay an oversight.

Congressional candidates who raise $5,000 or more are required to file forms with the U.S. House Ethics Committee listing their salaries, assets and liabilities. Candidates who file more than 30 days late are assessed a $200 penalty.

Scontras is running against Charles Summers of Scarborough in the June 10 Republican primary for Maine’s 1st Congressional District race.

The winner faces the Democratic nominee for the seat being vacated by Democratic Rep. Tom Allen, who is stepping down to run for the U.S. Senate against Susan Collins.
