Personal financial disclosure — no report found in the House Clerk's public index
A search of the U.S. House Clerk's public financial-disclosure index files for 2024, 2025 and 2026 (checked Sep 25, 2026) found no financial disclosure report filed by Cleophus Dulaney.

Sep 25, 2026 · Official · U.S. House Clerk — Financial Disclosure Reports index · sourceNo FEC campaign committee or reports on file for 2026
Checked 2026-09-24: the Federal Election Commission lists candidate ID H0OH03137 for this race, but no principal campaign committee is designated for the 2025–26 cycle, so there are no committee reports of receipts or spending. A candidate who raises or spends under $5,000 is not required to register a committee.
