Findings
Worth a look Late or missing
No financial disclosure found for their 2026 run for State House District 29
They filed a candidate affidavit for State House District 29 on March 12, 2026, so a disclosure was due by March 22, 2026 (or one filed in the 90 days before the affidavit counts). We found none in TRACER's Document Search under their name from then on.
What to check- TRACER's Document Search under the candidate's name (we match filers by name: a different spelling or a married name could hide one).
- Whether they withdrew before the deadline (a candidate who withdraws or is defeated doesn't file).
- Any “Late PFD” penalty on their TRACER page.
Rule: A candidate with no financial disclosure found

Context Lobbying · the statement
Their income from Medtronic, a lobbying client
Their disclosure lists Medtronic as a source of income. Medtronic is a client of a professional lobbyist registered with the Secretary of State. 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
