Findings

Context Errors in the record

1 error in their public record: a disclosure that doesn't say why it was filed

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 2026 disclosure doesn't say why it was filed: none of the boxes (appointed, candidate, annual filing, amending) is ticked.

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.

How this rule works

Context Gifts

$60,000 in gifts from SUSAN MURRAY in 2026, over the gift ban's $75 limit unless an exception applies

Their own gift reports list 1 item from SUSAN MURRAY received in 2026, worth $60,000.00 in all: Help from my mother with down payment for 1st time home purchase. ($60,000.00). 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 report suggests a relative or friend, whose gifts on a special occasion are exempt. 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).

Rule: Gifts over the gift ban's limit

“shall solicit, accept or receive any gift or other thing of value having either a fair market value or aggregate actual cost greater than fifty dollars ($50) in any calendar year”Colorado Constitution, art. XXIX, sec. 3(2) (the Independent Ethics Commission's copy); the limit is $75 from 2023 (IEC Position Statement 23-01) ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works

Context Gifts

$13,000 in gifts from CYTHNIA AND KEVIN MACKEY in 2026, over the gift ban's $75 limit unless an exception applies

Their own gift reports list 1 item from CYTHNIA AND KEVIN MACKEY received in 2026, worth $13,000.00 in all: Help from my aunt and uncle to make down payment on 1st time home purchase. ($13,000.00). 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.
