Washington Democratic U.S. House candidate Lisa Brown released her 2017 tax return Wednesday, the same day incumbent Republican Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers released hers.
Brown and her husband had wages totaling $319,400, which includes Brown’s salary for the first eight months of the year as chancellor of Washington State University-Spokane. Their adjusted gross income reported at the bottom of the front of the 1040 return was $320,000. Brown and her husband owed $69,000 in federal taxes last year, but had already paid $77,000 during 2017, so they’ll get a refund.
