Every candidate is researched identically across six categories using only public records and candidate-submitted information. No candidate is endorsed. Read the full methodology.

Integrity & Legal Record 24 / 25

Criminal History

`[NOT FOUND — searched: nationwide Google/news search "Elizabeth Holmes" Palm Beach County teacher Florida House arrested OR convicted OR indicted — 2026-08-19]`. No adverse nationwide news coverage found for this individual specifically. (The unrelated Theranos Elizabeth Holmes surfaces heavily in general searches of this name — see Identity note above — but does not attach to this candidate.)

Sources:
  • Nationwide Google/news search: "Elizabeth Holmes" teacher Palm Beach County criminal record OR conviction OR sued — 2026-08-19 — no adverse matches to this candidate; unrelated Theranos namesake investigated and ruled out

Civil Court History

`[NOT FOUND — searched: nationwide Google/news search "Elizabeth Holmes" Palm Beach County lawsuit OR litigation — 2026-08-19]`. No adverse civil litigation found.

Sources:
  • Nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-19 — no adverse matches

Ethics Violations

No ethics complaints found. No prior elected office held.

Sources:
  • Google/news search: "Elizabeth Holmes" HD-94 Florida House ethics complaint — 2026-08-19 — no relevant results
  • Florida Commission on Ethics — https://ethics.state.fl.us/Complaints/Complaints.aspx — 2026-08-19

Campaign Finance Violations

No Florida Elections Commission violation records found. Campaign material discloses standard Florida House contribution limits ($1,000 per primary, $1,000 per general).

Sources:
  • Florida Elections Commission — https://www.fec.state.fl.us/FECWebFi.nsf/pages/Violations — 2026-08-19 (no name-search capability from landing page; this project independently confirmed 2026-08-15 that the FEC's document repository is site-wide degraded/retired, limiting this check generally)
  • Campaign website (elizabethholmesforflorida.com) — contribution limit disclosure — 2026-08-19

Residency Confirmed

A PBC Property Appraiser (PAPA) search for "Holmes Elizabeth" returned a likely match: "Holmes Elizabeth A," a homesteaded property at 7759 155th Pl N, Unincorporated Palm Beach County 33418 — within Palm Beach Gardens, consistent with HD-94's geography and with her campaign's PO Box mailing address (Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33420). Two other "Holmes Elizabeth" records were also found and are not treated as matches: a non-homesteaded Delray Beach unit mailed to an out-of-state (Norwell, MA) address under the same "Elizabeth A" name (inconsistent with a PBC-based teacher, likely a different person or an inherited/investment property unrelated to residency), and a separate "Holmes Elizabeth H" non-homesteaded Delray Beach condo (different middle initial). The homesteaded Palm Beach Gardens property is treated as the probable match given the address consistency with her campaign and HD-94's district, though the middle initial "A" was not independently cross-confirmed against a birth record or other unique identifier.

Sources:
  • Campaign website (elizabethholmesforflorida.com) — "Born and raised in Palm Beach County"; campaign PO Box, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33420 — 2026-08-19
  • PBC Property Appraiser (PAPA) — owner "Holmes Elizabeth" — searched 2026-08-19 — 8 results reviewed; probable match "Holmes Elizabeth A," homesteaded, 7759 155th Pl N, Palm Beach Gardens 33418; two other same/similar-name records reviewed and not treated as matches
⚠️ REVIEW FLAG — Probable, not certain, PAPA match (middle initial not independently cross-confirmed against a unique identifier). Recommend confirming via voter registration or a further identity check if certainty is required.
  • ⚠️ REVIEW FLAG: Residency rests on a probable (not certain) PAPA match; recommend independent confirmation if full certainty is required before publication.
  • Investigated and ruled out: the unrelated, currently-incarcerated Theranos founder Elizabeth A. Holmes, a name-collision risk given how dominant that individual is in general search results for this name.
  • This candidate was entirely missing from the project's roster until the 2026-08-19 post-primary rebuild — Bobby Williams (Jr.), who had been tracked as the HD-94 Democratic candidate, withdrew before the 8/18/2026 primary, and Holmes advanced as the actual nominee without appearing on the primary ballot. This is her first research pass.
  • Survey cross-reference could not be completed this pass — no survey response is on file for this candidate, and the CIVICS Disclosure Survey PDF answers have not yet been extracted/indexed per-candidate in general.

Professional & Business Transparency 19 / 25

Business Ownership

No personal business entity was identified; her career is documented as 15 years of Palm Beach County public-school teaching employment (English and Exceptional Student Education). `[Sunbiz primary-source confirmation NOT COMPLETED — search.sunbiz.org unresponsive this session, compounded by the name-collision issue]`.

Sources:
  • Campaign website (elizabethholmesforflorida.com) — 2026-08-21
⚠️ REVIEW FLAG — Sunbiz confirmation not completed; the name-collision issue further limits confidence in any negative result. Nothing concerning found regardless.

Financial Conflicts of Interest

No government-contract overlap identified. As a public-school teacher and first-time candidate with no prior elected office, no direct conflict pathway was identified.

Sources:
  • Nationwide Google/news search: "Elizabeth Holmes" HD-94 government contract — 2026-08-21 — no matches attributable to this candidate

Bankruptcy History

`[NOT FOUND]`, though this result carries very low confidence given the severe name-collision issue documented in Category 1 (the incarcerated Theranos founder and likely many other unrelated "Elizabeth Holmes" individuals nationwide dominate any name-based search).

Sources:
  • Nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-21 — no matches attributable to this specific candidate
⚠️ REVIEW FLAG — Common/collision name; this NOT FOUND result should be weighted accordingly.

Tax Liens

`[NOT FOUND]`, with the same severe name-collision caveat as above. Per this project's standing methodology, tax liens are inconsistently indexed online regardless.

Sources:
  • Nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-21 — no matches attributable to this specific candidate
⚠️ REVIEW FLAG — Common/collision name; this NOT FOUND result should be weighted accordingly.

Board Memberships

`[NOT FOUND — searched: nationwide Google/news search "Elizabeth Holmes" Palm Beach County teacher board member nonprofit union — 2026-08-21]`. No outside board membership identified for this specific candidate.

Sources:
  • Nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-21 — no matches attributable to this specific candidate
  • ⚠️ TOOLING BLOCK + SEVERE NAME COLLISION: Sunbiz unresponsive, compounding the pre-existing challenge (documented in Category 1) that "Elizabeth Holmes" is dominated in search results by the unrelated, incarcerated Theranos founder. All NOT FOUND results in this category carry lower-than-usual confidence.
  • Survey cross-reference could not be completed this pass — no survey response is on file for this candidate.

Policy & Platform Consistency 13 / 20

Voting Record

Holmes is a non-incumbent (first run for office; became the Democratic nominee after Bobby Williams withdrew before the primary). `[NO VOTING RECORD — NON-INCUMBENT]`. Her platform is specific: lowering insurance costs, investing in public schools (directly tied to her 15-year teaching career), making Florida affordable, and opposing large-scale AI data center development on grounds of water-supply strain, energy-infrastructure strain, noise/traffic, and quality-of-life impact.

Sources:
  • elizabethholmesforflorida.com — campaign platform — 2026-08-21
⚠️ NAME-COLLISION CAVEAT applies (see scope note).

Position Consistency

`[Insufficient public record to assess consistency over time, as a first-time candidate — searched: nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-21]`. Her current platform is internally consistent (affordability, education funding, data-center opposition) and directly reflects her professional background as a 15-year PBC public-school teacher.

Sources:
  • elizabethholmesforflorida.com — campaign platform — 2026-08-21

Flip-Flops

`[NOT FOUND — searched: nationwide Google/news search "Elizabeth Holmes for Florida" HD-94 flip-flop reversed position controversy — 2026-08-21]`. No documented policy reversal was identified; the severe name-collision issue further limits search confidence.

Sources:
  • Nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-21 — no matches attributable to this candidate
⚠️ NAME-COLLISION CAVEAT applies.

Endorsements

`[Endorsements received — NOT FOUND — 2026-08-21]`. `[Endorsements given — NOT FOUND — 2026-08-21]`. No specific union, elected-official, or advocacy-organization endorsement was located for this candidate, though the name-collision issue limits confidence in this being a complete picture.

  • Nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-21 — no matches attributable to this candidate
⚠️ NAME-COLLISION CAVEAT applies.
  • ⚠️ SEVERE NAME-COLLISION CAVEAT (carried over from Categories 1/2): "Elizabeth Holmes" is dominated in search results by the unrelated, incarcerated Theranos founder; all NOT FOUND results in this category carry lower-than-usual confidence.

Community Engagement & Character 14 / 25

Community Involvement

Her 15-year career as a Palm Beach County public-school teacher (already documented in her profile summary) is itself a sustained, in-person community-service role. `[No additional nonprofit board membership or dedicated volunteer role beyond her teaching career was found — searched: nationwide Google/news search "Elizabeth Holmes for Florida" volunteer nonprofit board — 2026-08-24]`. Her campaign has raised funds from 66 individual contributions, essentially all from Florida donors (already documented context).

⚠️ NAME-COLLISION CAVEAT applies.

Faith-Based Involvement (scored on character consistency)

`[No faith-community affiliation documented — searched: nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-24]`. Not scored negatively per protocol. On character consistency: her stated platform (affordability, public education funding, opposing large-scale AI data centers) is consistent with her documented 15-year teaching career and family background (parents a retired PBC schoolteacher and retired postal worker); no contradictions identified.

Housing / Insurance Position

Platform commits to "take on rising insurance costs, increase attainable housing options, and push back on price hikes that hurt working people" — a consumer-protection-oriented framing without a specific free-market deregulation mechanism identified.

Sources:
  • elizabethholmesforflorida.com — 2026-08-26

Education / School Choice Position

As a 15-year public school teacher, platform emphasizes supporting teachers, improving classroom resources, and ensuring "public funding is used responsibly to benefit students first" — a public-school-funding-first position.

Sources:
  • elizabethholmesforflorida.com — 2026-08-26

Environment / Everglades Position

Explicitly opposes allowing "billion-dollar tech companies to reshape neighborhoods," citing concern that "massive AI data centers can threaten local water supplies, strain energy infrastructure, create noise and traffic" — a regulatory-restriction position on a specific category of development, similar to other Democratic candidates' data-center concerns documented elsewhere in this project.

Sources:
  • elizabethholmesforflorida.com — 2026-08-26
  • Scores reflect the project's confirmed scoring philosophy; documented positions are consistent with a mainstream Democratic platform, including opposition to hyperscale AI data centers (a recurring theme among several PBC-area Democratic candidates this cycle).
  • The name-collision caveat (incarcerated Theranos founder shares this candidate's name) persists; findings here rely on office/district-disambiguated sources.
