Colorado property

$567,780 at the county assessors' values, 1 parcel we matched to the property on their disclosures.

Kind	County	Assessor's value
home	Mesa	$567,780

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 $199,996; debts: up to $211,997 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

Context Lobbying

24 bills they voted on were lobbied by donors to their campaign ($900 from 2 clients)

Clients of professional lobbyists that gave to their 2026 campaign took positions on 24 bills they voted on (their latest floor vote). The largest: Colorado Contractors Association ($450); Amarok ($450). Where those donors clearly supported or opposed a bill, their vote went the donors' way on 15 of 16. 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
