Colorado property
$1,407,000 at the county assessors' values, 2 parcels we matched to the property on their disclosures.
| Kind | County | Assessor's value |
|---|
| home | — | $814,000 |
| home | — | $593,000 |
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, or, for judges and district attorneys, the county. Property held in a name we can't connect to them isn't here.
Personal Financial Disclosures
Income listed: up to $349,998; debts: up to $599,997 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 Late or missing
Their 2025 annual disclosure is dated January 16, 2025, after the January 10 deadline
As a judge, they file a disclosure by January 10 each year. The first we found for 2025 in TRACER's Document Search is dated January 16, 2025, 6 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
