Greg Krikorian, the Republican candidate in the Glendale area's 43rd assembly district, said it was his wife's debt and that she filed for bankruptcy protection. He was added as her co-debtor, but says he didn't know about her spending as she racked up $47,000 in consumer charges. He's running against Democrat Mike Gatto. More at the News-Press.
