Findings
Worth a look Late or missing
TRACER lists 3 late campaign finance report penalties this cycle
The candidate's committee has 3 late-filing penalties on reports due since January 1, 2025: May 4, 2026 (open, waiver requested); August 3, 2026 (open); October 19, 2026 (open). 3 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).
Rule: Penalties for late campaign finance reports

Context Lobbying · the statement
Their income from Hunger Free Colorado, a lobbying client with positions on 35 bills
Their disclosure lists Hunger Free Colorado as a source of income. Hunger Free Colorado is a client of a professional lobbyist registered with the Secretary of State, whose reports give its positions on 35 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).
