The official record layer supports a bounded committee and public-record
profile for Darcy Schoening.
TRACER supports her 2022 Colorado House District 20 candidate committee and
two Smart Choice committee labels. Colorado Socrata supports a separate
business-entity row for Smart Choice Colorado with Schoening as registered
agent and a Delinquent entity-status label as of the retained row. OpenFEC
does not return a 2026 federal candidate result for Darcy Schoening.
The records do not support claims of campaign-law violation, coordination,
control, authorship, intent, or a federal campaign. The refreshed TRACER detail
screen does, however, narrow the Smart Choice compliance question: visible
official rows show open late-filing penalties and balance/past-due
correspondence indicators for the Smart Choice committees.

Treat that asThe Rocky Mountain Voice commentary captured for this pass says it received a
tip alleging more than $100,000 in campaign-finance violations in two
committees run by Schoening during the 2025 Colorado GOP chair race. The same
commentary includes a statement attributed to Schoening saying the issues were
technical TRACER issues in two political committees she established / served as
registered agent for and that any fines had been waived.
That material is useful for explaining why the Smart Choice compliance question
is open. It is not official evidence that violations occurred, that all fines
were waived, or that debt/compliance status was resolved. The refreshed
official Smart Choice detail extracts show visible open late-filing penalties,
waiver-request flags, delinquency letters, and balance/past-due correspondence
indicators. They do not provide a complete paginated penalty/debt/filer-detail
screen.
