SANTA FE, N.M. - Democratic presidential candidate Bill Richardson, who promotes renewable energy as a way to wean the nation off of fossil fuels, has sold his stock holdings in the country's largest independent refining company.
Richardson owned stock in Valero Energy Corp. worth between $100,001 and $250,000, and had stock options valued between $250,001 and $500,000, according to a financial disclosure report filed earlier this month with the Federal Election Commission.
Richardson said Thursday he sold the oil company stock because "it was just a distraction" in his campaign.
"Because I was getting questions, I just felt it was best to divest myself," Richardson said.
