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.

$1,043 in gifts from WEST ACADEMIC in 2026, over the gift ban's $75 limit unless an exception applies

Their own gift reports list 3 items from WEST ACADEMIC received in 2026, worth $1,042.55 in all: Publication royalties ($157.41); Publication royalties ($308.51); Publication royalties ($576.63). The Colorado Constitution's gift ban limits what an official may accept from one person in a calendar year to $75 (as adjusted for inflation), with exceptions: food and admission where they speak or answer questions, a nonprofit's or government's reasonable expenses for a meeting where they take part, gifts from relatives and personal friends on a special occasion, tokens and informational material, and anything they paid fair value for. The description (“publication”) suggests one may apply. Reporting a gift is required either way; the report doesn't say which exception, if any, applies.

What to check
  • Whether an exception in art. XXIX, sec. 3(3) applies: a speaking role or scheduled program, a nonprofit (under 5% for-profit funding) or government paying for a meeting they took part in, a relative or personal friend, or payment of fair value by the official.
  • The Independent Ethics Commission's advisory opinions and letter rulings on similar gifts.
  • The report itself in TRACER (Supplemental Reports: Gifts, Honoraria and Other Benefits).

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 2024 disclosure gives a debt from Newrez as “Between $100,00 and $125,000” (a comma group short); we read it as $100,000 to $125,000.

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.
