Findings

Context Errors in the record

2 errors in their public record: a gift report error

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): The same gift from Royce And Guy ($100, received 2025-07-11) is on 2 of their gift reports (filed 2025-07-11, 2025-10-17); we count it once. The same gift from Wu And Shen ($100, received 2025-07-10) is on 2 of their gift reports (filed 2025-07-11, 2025-10-17); we count it once.

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.
