Joe Meyer

Running in 2026: RTD Director District C (November 3)

Personal Financial Disclosures

No disclosure found in TRACER for 2024–2026. County and city officials don't file one.

Findings

Worth a look Late or missing

TRACER lists 2 late campaign finance report penalties this cycle

The candidate's committee has 2 late-filing penalties on reports due since January 1, 2025: September 8, 2026 (open); September 21, 2026 (open). 2 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).
