publicportal.chinohills.org (opens in a new tab)City of Chino Hills's own "Campaign Statements" pages (chinohills.org/1096, City Clerk's Office) link each sitting or former councilmember's Form 460 filings to a city-operated Laserfiche WebLink portal (publicportal.chinohills.org), which mirrors the underlying NetFile-filed PDF documents (each page's footer reads "www.netfile.com"); read directly in a live browser session with cookies enabled -- a cookie-less HTTP fetch returns only an error page, which is what an earlier pass in this dataset had relied on when it first reported no financial info was retrievable. Cross-checked against Chino Hills's own live NetFile portal (agency code COCH, netfile.com/public/COCH) -- matching filing IDs and timestamps confirm both systems mirror the same underlying documents. Both incumbents on this ballot filed a semi-annual Form 460 for January-June 2026: Peter Rogers's committee (Peter Rogers 4 City Council 2026) reported $3,500 in monetary contributions ($3,000 from the Chino Valley Professional Firefighters PAC, $500 from the Edison International Civic Action Committee), no expenditures, and a $43,677.92 ending cash balance with no debt. Brian Johsz's committee (Johsz for City Council 2026) reported the identical $3,500 from the same two donors, plus a $10,000 loan, $1,075 in expenditures, and a $19,913.39 ending cash balance against $10,000 in outstanding debt. Ray Marquez's committee (Ray Marquez for City Council 2022), though he is running unopposed, also filed a Form 460 for the period, reporting no new monetary contributions, no expenditures, a residual $730 loan balance carried from an earlier cycle, and a $708.03 cash balance. Challengers Shanita Ayala and Josue Estrada each have a registered candidate/committee record on the live NetFile portal, but neither has any Form 460 filing there. Ayala's own filing history (matched via the Laserfiche mirror) shows a short-form Form 470 filed August 5, 2026 -- declaring she didn't expect to raise or spend $2,000 or more -- followed three weeks later by a Form 410 statement of organization (August 26, 2026); no itemized statement has followed as of this retrieval. Estrada's history shows only a Form 501 candidate intention statement and a short-form Form 470 (both August 3, 2026), filed in the portal's own "Candidates (No Committees)" folder -- no committee was ever formed. In both cases this is a documented absence of itemized disclosure, not a claim that either candidate has raised or spent nothing.
