TRACER lists 4 late campaign finance report penalties this cycle
The candidate's committee has 4 late-filing penalties on reports due since January 1, 2025: May 18, 2026 (waived); August 3, 2026 (open, waiver requested); September 21, 2026 (open); October 6, 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.

- Whether a waiver was granted (the Secretary of State may waive for good cause).
