Findings
Worth a look Late or missing
TRACER lists a penalty for a late financial disclosure (July 25, 2025)
The Secretary of State's campaign finance system lists a “Late PFD” penalty dated July 25, 2025 on their candidate record; its status: paid. 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
“A $50 per day late filing penalty that will accrue until the statement is filed”Form CPF-13 (Rev. 06/2026), instructions: Candidate Filing Penalties ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works
Context Income · the statement
No income from their office as State Senate District 22 on their 2026 disclosure
They hold office as State Senate District 22, which pays a salary, and their 2026 disclosure lists 4 sources of income (unnamed; KABZA STRATEGIES LLC; KABZA MEDIA LLC; IZCAL LLC) 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
