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.

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: June 15, 2026 (open); June 29, 2026 (open); September 8, 2026 (open); September 21, 2026 (open); October 6, 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 2025
As a member of the General Assembly, they file a disclosure by January 10 each year. We found none for 2025 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
Context Late or missing
Their 2026 annual disclosure is dated October 23, 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 October 23, 2026, 284 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.
