Findings

Worth a look Late or missing

TRACER lists a penalty for a late financial disclosure (January 7, 2025)

The Secretary of State's campaign finance system lists a “Late PFD” penalty dated January 7, 2025 on their candidate record; its status: paid, waiver requested. A disclosure is due within ten days of a candidate affidavit, and by January 10 each year for those in office; a late one accrues $50 a day until it's filed.

What to check

The penalty on the candidate's TRACER page (Penalties tab): the date, status and any waiver.
When the disclosure was then filed (their disclosures on this page).

TRACER lists 2 late campaign finance report penalties this cycle

The candidate's committee has 2 late-filing penalties on reports due since January 1, 2025: Major Contributor Report (paid, waiver requested); Major Contributor Report (paid, waiver requested). A report filed late keeps the committee's money out of public view until it's in.

What to check

Context Lobbying · the statement

A family member’s income from Ent Credit Union, a lobbying client with positions on 4 bills

Their disclosure lists Ent Credit Union as a source of income (for a family member). Ent Credit Union is a client of a professional lobbyist registered with the Secretary of State, whose reports give its positions on 4 bills since 2023. The disclosure form asks for exactly these sources: ones that pay lobbyists at the General Assembly.

What to check

The client's positions on the bills (each bill's page lists who lobbied it), and how they voted on them.
Whether the organization is the same one (a name can be shared by unrelated organizations).
