Findings
Worth a look Late or missing
TRACER lists a penalty for a late financial disclosure (January 22, 2026)
The Secretary of State's campaign finance system lists a “Late PFD” penalty dated January 22, 2026 on their candidate record; its status: open. A disclosure is due within ten days of a candidate affidavit, and by January 10 each year for those in office; a late one accrues $50 a day until it's filed.
What to check- The penalty on the candidate's TRACER page (Penalties tab): the date, status and any waiver.
- When the disclosure was then filed (their disclosures on this page).
Rule: A penalty for a late financial disclosure

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); May 18, 2026 (open, waiver requested); June 1, 2026 (open, waiver requested). 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

Worth a look Lobbying · the statement
Their income from Great Education Colorado, a lobbying client with positions on 10 bills
Their disclosure lists Great Education Colorado as a source of income. GREAT EDUCATION COLORADO is a client of a professional lobbyist registered with the Secretary of State, whose reports give its positions on 10 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).
Rule: Income from a lobbyist's client
“The source is regulated by the state or pays for a lobbyist to lobby at the General Assembly or at a state regulatory body”Form CPF-13 (Rev. 06/2026), instructions: Sources of Compensation ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works

No annual disclosure found for 2025
As a member of the General Assembly, they file a disclosure by January 10 each year. We found none for 2025 in TRACER's Document Search under their name.
What to check- TRACER's Document Search under their name (a different spelling could hide one).
- Whether they held the office that January (members seated, or judges appointed, later in the year file on taking office).
Rule: An annual disclosure after January 10, or none found

Worth a look Gifts
$6,700 in gifts from JEWISH COLORADO in 2025, over the gift ban's $75 limit
Their own gift reports list 1 item from JEWISH COLORADO received in 2025, worth $6,700.00 in all: Public officials mission trip to israel ($6,700.00). The Colorado Constitution's gift ban limits what an official may accept from one person in a calendar year to $75 (as adjusted for inflation), with exceptions: food and admission where they speak or answer questions, a nonprofit's or government's reasonable expenses for a meeting where they take part, gifts from relatives and personal friends on a special occasion, tokens and informational material, and anything they paid fair value for. Reporting a gift is required either way; the report doesn't say which exception, if any, applies.
What to check- Whether an exception in art. XXIX, sec. 3(3) applies: a speaking role or scheduled program, a nonprofit (under 5% for-profit funding) or government paying for a meeting they took part in, a relative or personal friend, or payment of fair value by the official.
- The Independent Ethics Commission's advisory opinions and letter rulings on similar gifts.
- The report itself in TRACER (Supplemental Reports: Gifts, Honoraria and Other Benefits).
Rule: Gifts over the gift ban's limit
“shall solicit, accept or receive any gift or other thing of value having either a fair market value or aggregate actual cost greater than fifty dollars ($50) in any calendar year”Colorado Constitution, art. XXIX, sec. 3(2) (the Independent Ethics Commission's copy); the limit is $75 from 2023 (IEC Position Statement 23-01) ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works
Context Late or missing
Their 2026 annual disclosure is dated January 28, 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 28, 2026, 16 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
“The following state officials must file a PFD by January 10th each year 24-6-202(1), C.R.S.”Form CPF-13 (Rev. 06/2026), instructions: Annual Filing Requirements ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works
Context Lobbying
1 bill they voted on were lobbied by donors to their campaign ($450 from 1 client)
Clients of professional lobbyists that gave to their 2026 campaign took positions on 1 bill they voted on (their latest floor vote). The largest: Amarok ($450). Where those donors clearly supported or opposed a bill, their vote went the donors' way on 0 of 1. 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
