Findings

Worth a look Gifts

$6,700 in gifts from JEWISH COLORADO in 2025, over the gift ban's $75 limit

Their own gift reports list 1 item from JEWISH COLORADO received in 2025, worth $6,700.00 in all: 2025 public officials mission ($6,700.00). 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. 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.

Worth a look Gifts

$1,958 in gifts from COLORADO OPPORTUNITY CAUCUS in 2024, over the gift ban's $75 limit

Their own gift reports list 1 item from COLORADO OPPORTUNITY CAUCUS received in 2024, worth $1,957.84 in all: Organizational and educational retreat ($1,957.84). 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.

Context 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: June 1, 2026 (paid). 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

Context Lobbying

100 bills they voted on were lobbied by donors to their campaign ($300 from 1 client)

Clients of professional lobbyists that gave to their 2026 campaign took positions on 100 bills they voted on (their latest floor vote). The largest: Conservation Colorado ($300). Where those donors clearly supported or opposed a bill, their vote went the donors' way on 69 of 71. Two public records read together: it doesn't mean either one caused the other.

What to check

The bills and each client's position (Bills their donors lobbied on, on their page).
Most lobbied bills draw clients on both sides; a vote with one donor can be a vote against another.

Rule: Bills their donors lobbied on

How this rule works

Context Late or missing

TRACER lists a penalty for a late financial disclosure (June 2, 2025)

The Secretary of State's campaign finance system lists a “Late PFD” penalty dated June 2, 2025 on their candidate record; its status: waived. 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).

Rule: A penalty for a late financial disclosure

“A $50 per day late filing penalty that will accrue until the statement is filed”Form CPF-13 (Rev. 06/2026), instructions: Candidate Filing Penalties ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works

Context Late or missing

Their 2025 annual disclosure is dated January 12, 2025, after the January 10 deadline

As a member of the General Assembly, they file a disclosure by January 10 each year. The first we found for 2025 in TRACER's Document Search is dated January 12, 2025, 2 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.

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 Income · the statement

No income from their office as State Senate District 25 on their 2025 disclosure

They hold office as State Senate District 25, which pays a salary, and their 2025 disclosure lists 2 sources of income (oh Suk; Colorado) but none that is the office. The form asks for every source of income, an employer included.

What to check

The disclosure itself: whether the salary is listed under another name, or in an attachment.
Whether they took office after the year the disclosure covers (an appointment late in the year).

Rule: No income listed from the office they hold

“List the names of any sources of income, including capital gains (whether or not taxable) for yourself, your spouse, and minor children residing with you.”Form CPF-13 (Rev. 06/2026), instructions: Income ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works
