Colorado property

$1,113,010 at the county assessors' values, 2 parcels we matched to the property on their disclosures.

Kind	County	Assessor's value
property	Garfield	$687,780
property	Garfield	$425,230

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.

Personal Financial Disclosures

Income listed: up to $49,999 on their latest disclosure with entries: the top of each range they selected, added up (the form asks for ranges, not amounts; a range with no top counts at its figure).

Findings

Worth a look Late or missing

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: May 18, 2026 (paid); June 1, 2026 (paid); June 29, 2026 (waived); August 3, 2026 (paid); September 21, 2026 (open). 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).

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 Late or missing

Their 2026 annual disclosure is dated January 15, 2026, after the January 10 deadline

As a member of the General Assembly, they file a disclosure by January 10 each year (January 10, 2026 was a Saturday, so we count January 12, 2026 as on time). The first we found for 2026 in TRACER's Document Search is dated January 15, 2026, 3 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
