This summary preserves a narrow public-disclosure visibility finding for Joe Reagan in the 2026 CO-05 cycle.
Official House Ethics candidate guidance says qualified House candidates are those who raise or spend more than $5,000, including funds loaned to the campaign. The same guidance says candidates who qualified in a prior year and remain candidates must file a second Financial Disclosure Report by May 15 of the following year. A preserved 2026 candidate extension-request form says extensions can be requested, but the request must be filed on or before the applicable filing deadline, and a report filed under such an extension is not considered late.
The retained OpenFEC refresh for the Committee to Elect Joe Reagan shows Reagan's 2026 principal committee well above the $5,000 threshold by the April Quarterly report layer. The committee totals endpoint reports $202,638.50 in receipts through 2026-03-31; the reports endpoint records $120,100.00 in debts owed by the committee; and the retained loan layer includes P2026 candidate loans totaling $115,000.00.
The preserved House Clerk 2026FD index package, timestamped 2026-05-29 09:01, did not show a Joseph F. Reagan / Joe Reagan 2026 candidate financial disclosure report or extension entry in text/XML searches. Searches for Joseph and Joe returned other filers, so the check read the index rather than returning an empty search layer.
