The county assessor's actual value (the 2025 reappraisal, an estimate of market value in mid-2024), from the state's parcel records. We match parcels by the owner's name where their office or race is, or by the legal description or address on their disclosure; we don't show addresses, parcel numbers or co-owners. Property held in a name we can't connect to them isn't here.

Findings
Worth a look Income · the statement
No income from their office as State House District 14 on their 2026 disclosure
They hold office as State House District 14, which pays a salary, and their 2026 disclosure lists 3 sources of income (GF Media LLC; Elite Firearms Training; Market Interest) but none that is the office. The form asks for every source of income, an employer included.
What to check- The disclosure itself: whether the salary is listed under another name, or in an attachment.
- Whether they took office after the year the disclosure covers (an appointment late in the year).
Rule: No income listed from the office they hold
“List the names of any sources of income, including capital gains (whether or not taxable) for yourself, your spouse, and minor children residing with you.”Form CPF-13 (Rev. 06/2026), instructions: Income ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works
Context Errors in the record
1 error in their public record: a disclosure that doesn't say why it was filed
We found these in the records as filed or as TRACER lists them, and read each as meant (shown here so anyone can check the reading): Their 2026 disclosure doesn't say why it was filed: none of the boxes (appointed, candidate, annual filing, amending) is ticked.
What to check- The original filing in TRACER for each one.
- These don't change what we show: we use the amount, name or date as meant.
Rule: Errors in the record
How this rule works
Context Late or missing
Their 2025 annual disclosure is dated September 29, 2025, after the January 10 deadline
As a member of the General Assembly, they file a disclosure by January 10 each year. The first we found for 2025 in TRACER's Document Search is dated September 29, 2025, 262 days after the deadline.
What to check- Whether they took office after January 10 that year (an appointment or a new judgeship).
- The document's date in TRACER is the date it was received or entered.
Rule: An annual disclosure after January 10, or none found
