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: August 3, 2026 (open); September 8, 2026 (open); September 21, 2026 (open); 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

Worth a look Late or missing

No annual disclosure found for 2026

As a member of the General Assembly, 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

“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

Worth a look Late or missing

No financial disclosure found for their 2026 run for State House District 42

They filed a candidate affidavit for State House District 42 on November 24, 2025, so a disclosure was due by December 4, 2025 (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 Errors in the record

1 error in their public record: an amount written with a typo

We found these in the records as filed or as TRACER lists them, and read each as meant (shown here so anyone can check the reading): Their 2025 disclosure gives a debt from Nelnet as “Between $30,000 and $50,00” (a comma group short); we read it as $30,000 to $50,000.

What to check

The original filing in TRACER for each one.
These don't change what we show: we use the amount, name or date as meant.
