TRACER lists 5 late campaign finance report penalties this cycle
The candidate's committee has 5 late-filing penalties on reports due since January 1, 2025: August 3, 2026 (open, waiver requested); September 8, 2026 (open); September 21, 2026 (open); October 6, 2026 (open); October 19, 2026 (open). 5 are still open (neither paid nor waived). A report filed late keeps the committee's money out of public view until it's in.
What to check
- The penalties on the candidate's TRACER page: dates, amounts and waivers.
- Whether a waiver was granted (the Secretary of State may waive for good cause).
