The TRACER record resolves Stephanie Vigil's state campaign-finance layer to one candidate committee: COMMITTEE TO ELECT STEPHANIE VIGIL, CO_ID 20205038163. The committee detail page captured on 2026-04-17 shows the committee as an active Democratic candidate committee, registered 2020-03-09, with a stated purpose of electing Stephanie Vigil to Colorado House District 16.
The bounded bulk-export slice covers contribution, expenditure, and loan rows for 2022 through 2026, with TRACER data advertised as of 2026-04-16 2:00 AM. Accounting totals excluding rows marked Amended=Y are:
| bucket | active-row total |
|---|---|
| contributions | $237,481.36 |
| expenditures | $217,124.00 |
| loan originations | $4,500.00 |
| loan payments | $4,859.55 |
The important campaign-finance "situation" is not simply the row totals. The committee had one TRACER complaint, ED2025-15, filed by the Colorado Secretary of State Elections Division on 2025-03-26 for alleged prohibited labor-organization contributions. The complaint was closed on 2025-07-02 after the Deputy Secretary granted the Elections Division's motion to dismiss. The dismissal record says the matter involved reporting errors: the candidate committee had reported four contributions as if they came from labor unions, then amended the reports to show three small donor committees and one political committee.

The bulk-export slice remains the better source for row-level contribution, expenditure, loan, and amendment analysis.

The year buckets are source-file years, not always event years. Most importantly, the 2025 contribution file includes April 2025 amendments to 2024 contribution rows. Those rows preserve 2024 contribution dates but were filed in the 2025 bulk export.
For the 2024 source-file year, the largest active expenditure payees in the slice are EYE CONTACT ($40,000), CORAZON PRINTING ($26,989.38), FIREWEED ANALYTICS ($25,000), and PE STRATEGIES ($9,906.02). The largest active contribution sources in that source-file year are mostly small donor committees, including COLORADO STATE CONFERENCE OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS SMALL DONOR COMMITTEE (CSCEW) ($4,000), VOICES FOR CHOICE SMALL DONOR COMMITTEE ($3,500), BUILDING A STRONGER COLORADO ($3,000), COLORADO PROFESSIONAL FIRE FIGHTERS SMALL DONOR FUND ($3,000), and NEW ERA COLORADO ACTION FUND SMALL DONOR COMMITTEE ($3,000).

The candidate-side bulk rows show all four corrections filed on 2025-04-02. The original labor-union rows are marked Amended=Y, and the replacement rows are marked Amendment=Y with the original AmendedRecordID.
The dismissal order and motion to dismiss narrow the interpretation. The Elections Division concluded that the underlying money came from permitted small donor or political committees, not from the labor unions named in the original candidate-committee reports. The Division still treated the inaccurate contributor names as reporting violations under section 1-45-108(1)(a)(I), C.R.S., but said Vigil's committee timely cured the violations by amending the reports, substantially complied with campaign-finance law, and did not show evidence of an intentional attempt to mislead voters or election officials.
The complaint notice appears to contain a date problem: it lists the ATU-related item as December 5, 2025, even though the notice itself was filed on 2025-03-26. The bulk row and dismissal order place the ATU item in the 2024 reporting sequence. The safer synthesis is to identify the ATU correction by amount, contributor names, record IDs, and amendment date rather than relying on the complaint notice's ATU date.
The dismissal order also discusses source-committee activity dates that do not always match the candidate-side bulk-row ContributionDate values. Treat those as record-perspective differences unless a later filing-image pass reconciles the exact check dates, receipt dates, and source-committee report dates.
