Colorado property
$494,000 at the county assessors' values, 1 parcel we matched to the property on their disclosures.
| Kind | County | Assessor's value |
|---|
| home | Adams | $494,000 |
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. Property held in a name we can't connect to them isn't here.
Personal Financial Disclosures
Income listed: up to $299,997; debts: up to $74,999 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
Worth a look Late or missing
TRACER lists 5 late campaign finance report penalties this cycle
The candidate's committee has 5 late-filing penalties on reports due since January 1, 2025: July 15, 2025 (open); May 18, 2026 (open); June 1, 2026 (open, waiver requested); October 6, 2026 (open); October 19, 2026 (open). 5 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).
Rule: Penalties for late campaign finance reports
“The Secretary of State imposes penalties of $50 per day for late filings, including weekends and holidays.”Colorado Campaign and Political Finance Manual (Secretary of State) ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works
Worth a look Lobbying · the statement
They hold an office at Elephant Circle, a lobbying client with positions on 41 bills
Their disclosure lists Elephant Circle as an organization where they hold an office. Elephant Circle is a client of a professional lobbyist registered with the Secretary of State, whose reports give its positions on 41 bills since 2023. 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
Context Late or missing
Their 2026 annual disclosure is dated February 5, 2026, after the January 10 deadline
As a member of the General Assembly, they file a disclosure by January 10 each year (January 10, 2026 was a Saturday, so we count January 12, 2026 as on time). The first we found for 2026 in TRACER's Document Search is dated February 5, 2026, 24 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
“The following state officials must file a PFD by January 10th each year 24-6-202(1), C.R.S.”Form CPF-13 (Rev. 06/2026), instructions: Annual Filing Requirements ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works
Context Lobbying · the statement
A family member’s income from Colorado Statewide Parent Coalition, a lobbying client with positions on 2 bills
Their disclosure lists Colorado Statewide Parent Coalition as a source of income (for a family member). Colorado Statewide Parent Coalition is a client of a professional lobbyist registered with the Secretary of State, whose reports give its positions on 2 bills since 2023. 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).
