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
Context 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: June 1, 2026 (paid). 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
“The Secretary of State imposes penalties of $50 per day for late filings, including weekends and holidays.”Colorado Campaign and Political Finance Manual (Secretary of State) ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works
Context Lobbying
3 bills they voted on were lobbied by donors to their campaign ($150 from 1 client)
Clients of professional lobbyists that gave to their 2026 campaign took positions on 3 bills they voted on (their latest floor vote). The largest: Colorado Psychological Association ($150). Where those donors clearly supported or opposed a bill, their vote went the donors' way on 3 of 3. Two public records read together: it doesn't mean either one caused the other.
What to check- The bills and each client's position (Bills their donors lobbied on, on their page).
- Most lobbied bills draw clients on both sides; a vote with one donor can be a vote against another.
Rule: Bills their donors lobbied on
How this rule works
Context Income · the statement
No income from their office as State House District 61 on their 2026 disclosure
They hold office as State House District 61, which pays a salary, and their 2026 disclosure lists 5 sources of income (Pera; of Colorado; Fidelity; Security; unnamed) 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
