Findings
Worth a look Late or missing
TRACER lists a penalty for a late financial disclosure (April 27, 2026)
The Secretary of State's campaign finance system lists a “Late PFD” penalty dated April 27, 2026 on their candidate record; its status: paid, waiver requested. A disclosure is due within ten days of a candidate affidavit, and by January 10 each year for those in office; a late one accrues $50 a day until it's filed.
What to check- The penalty on the candidate's TRACER page (Penalties tab): the date, status and any waiver.
- When the disclosure was then filed (their disclosures on this page).
Rule: A penalty for a late financial disclosure

Worth a look Late or missing
TRACER lists 1 late campaign finance report penalty this cycle
The candidate's committee has 1 late-filing penalty on reports due since January 1, 2025: Major Contributor Report (open, waiver requested). 1 is 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).

Context Lobbying · the statement
Their income from HALLIBURTON, a lobbying client with positions on 25 bills
Their disclosure lists HALLIBURTON as a source of income. Halliburton is a client of a professional lobbyist registered with the Secretary of State, whose reports give its positions on 25 bills since 2023. The disclosure form asks for exactly these sources: ones that pay lobbyists at the General Assembly.
What to check- The client's positions on the bills (each bill's page lists who lobbied it), and how they voted on them.
- Whether the organization is the same one (a name can be shared by unrelated organizations).
Rule: Income from a lobbyist's client

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.
