Findings
Worth a look Late or missing
No annual disclosure found for 2026
As a judge, they file a disclosure by January 10 each year. We found none for 2026 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

Context Income · the statement
No income from their office as County Court Judge on their 2025 disclosure
They hold office as County Court Judge, which pays a salary, and their 2025 disclosure lists 2 sources of income (Office Held; Mt. San Rafael Hospital) 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
“List the names of any sources of income, including capital gains (whether or not taxable) for yourself, your spouse, and minor children residing with you.”Form CPF-13 (Rev. 06/2026), instructions: Income ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works
