Findings

Worth a look Late or missing · the statement

Filed the 2024 statement 128 days after the April 15 deadline

The statement for 2024 was first submitted on August 21, 2025; it was due before April 15, 2025.

What to check
  • Whether the PDC granted an extension or modification for this statement.
  • Whether the official's term began or ended in 2024 (the statement then covers the part of the year served, and is still due by April 15).
