Colorado property
$2,279,700 at the county assessors' values, 2 parcels we matched to the property on their disclosures.
| Kind | County | Assessor's value |
|---|
| property | Boulder | $1,915,900 |
| home | Denver | $363,800 |
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 $360,994; debts: up to $509,998 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 1 late campaign finance report penalty this cycle
The candidate's committee has 1 late-filing penalty on reports due since January 1, 2025: September 21, 2026 (open). 1 is 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 Late or missing
No financial disclosure found for their 2026 run for CU Regent District 2
They filed a candidate affidavit for CU Regent District 2 on May 29, 2026, so a disclosure was due by June 8, 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.
