Colorado property

$606,000 at the county assessors' values, 1 parcel we matched to the property on their disclosures.

KindCountyAssessor's value
homeLarimer$606,000

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.

Personal Financial Disclosures

Income listed: up to $186,000; debts: up to $1,500,000 on their latest disclosure with entries: the top of each range they selected, added up (the form asks for ranges, not amounts; a range with no top counts at its figure).

Findings

Worth a look 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: Major Contributor Report (open). 1 is 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 2026

As a member of the General Assembly, they file a disclosure by January 10 each year. We found none for 2026 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

Worth a look Late or missing

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

The Secretary of State's campaign finance system lists a “Late PFD” penalty dated July 7, 2025 on their candidate record; its status: open, 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).

Context Lobbying

50 bills they voted on were lobbied by donors to their campaign ($450 from 1 client)

Clients of professional lobbyists that gave to their 2026 campaign took positions on 50 bills they voted on (their latest floor vote). The largest: Stand for Children, Inc. ($450). Where those donors clearly supported or opposed a bill, their vote went the donors' way on 39 of 40. 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 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 2025 disclosure gives a debt from Dept of Ed (aidvantage) as “$350,00-$450,000” (a comma group short); we read it as $350,000 to $450,000.

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.
