Integrity & Legal Record 24 / 25

Sources:

Nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-14 — no adverse matches

Civil Court History

`[NOT FOUND — searched: nationwide Google/news search "Elizabeth Pandich" lawsuit OR litigation — 2026-08-14]`. No adverse civil litigation found.

Sources:

Nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-14 — no adverse matches

Ethics Violations

No ethics complaints found.

Campaign Finance Violations

`[NOT FOUND — searched: nationwide Google/news search "Elizabeth Pandich" HD-86 campaign finance violation — 2026-08-14]`. No violation records found. (Her separate FEC record, H6FL21042, was reviewed under her FL-21 candidacy file.)

Sources:

Nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-14 — no adverse matches

Residency Confirmed

`[Specific county of residence within HD-86 NOT independently confirmed this pass beyond the dual-candidacy identity match — 2026-08-14]`; her FL-21 file similarly left this unconfirmed.

Sources:

Nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-14 — inconclusive

⚠️ REVIEW FLAG — Recommend confirming her specific county of residence via her official FL Division of Elections filing(s), particularly given her dual candidacy for two different districts.

⚠️ REVIEW FLAG: County of residence not independently confirmed; recommend operator verification given her simultaneous FL-21 and HD-86 candidacies.
Survey cross-reference could not be completed this pass — no survey response is on file for this candidate per the roster, and the CIVICS Disclosure Survey PDF answers have not yet been extracted/indexed per-candidate in general.

Professional & Business Transparency 22 / 25

Business Ownership

Pandich is Owner and Head Trainer of Limelight Farm, an equestrian training facility in Wellington, FL, where she works as a seasoned trainer and USEF (U.S. Equestrian Federation) judge. `[Sunbiz primary-source confirmation NOT COMPLETED — search.sunbiz.org unresponsive this session]`.

Sources:

ZoomInfo — "Elizabeth Pandich... Owner and Head Trainer at Limelight Farm" — 2026-08-21

⚠️ REVIEW FLAG — Sunbiz confirmation not completed; recommend a manual recheck of Limelight Farm's corporate registration.

Financial Conflicts of Interest

No government-contract overlap identified. Pandich has never held elected office, and an equestrian training business has no apparent nexus to state legislative authority.

Bankruptcy History

`[NOT FOUND]`. No personal or business bankruptcy filings located.

Sources:

CourtListener (courtlistener.com) — search "Elizabeth Pandich" — 2026-08-21 — 0 results

Tax Liens

`[NOT FOUND]`. No federal or state tax lien records located. Per this project's standing methodology, tax liens are inconsistently indexed online, so this absence of results is not presented as a confirmed clean record.

Sources:

CourtListener (courtlistener.com) — search "Elizabeth Pandich" — 2026-08-21 — 0 results (same search covers both given the total absence of results)

Board Memberships

`[NOT FOUND — searched: nationwide Google/news search "Elizabeth Pandich" board member/director nonprofit — 2026-08-21]`. No corporate or nonprofit board membership identified beyond her role at her own business, Limelight Farm.

Sources:

Nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-21 — no matches found

⚠️ TOOLING BLOCK: Sunbiz unresponsive this session; recommend a manual recheck of Limelight Farm's corporate registration.
Survey cross-reference could not be completed this pass — no survey response is on file for this candidate per the roster.

Policy & Platform Consistency 10 / 20

Voting Record

`[NO VOTING RECORD — NON-INCUMBENT]`. Pandich has never held elected office. Her stated rationale for running is explicitly framed as giving HD-86 voters a choice and helping Democrats "up and down the ballot" heading into the midterms, in what she acknowledges is a "long shot" district against incumbent John Snyder — rather than a detailed policy platform. `[Specific itemized policy positions were NOT FOUND — searched: opencampaign.com issue positions page, nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-21]`.

Sources:

OpenCampaign — "Elizabeth Pandich - Issue Positions on Key Topics and Policies" — 2026-08-21 — no detailed positions located
Ballotpedia — "Elizabeth Pandich" — 2026-08-21

⚠️ REVIEW FLAG — Platform detail is thin, with her own stated rationale framed around candidate availability/down-ballot support rather than itemized policy positions; recommend a follow-up pass if more detail becomes available.

Position Consistency

`[Insufficient historical public record to assess consistency over time — Pandich has no prior campaign or officeholding history — searched: nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-21]`.

Sources:

Nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-21 — no matches

None beyond the Voting Record flag above.

Flip-Flops

`[NOT FOUND — insufficient platform detail exists to identify a reversal — searched: nationwide Google/news search "Elizabeth Pandich" HD-86 flip-flop reversed position — 2026-08-21]`.

Sources:

Nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-21 — no matches

Endorsements

`[NOT FOUND — searched: nationwide Google/news search "Elizabeth Pandich" HD-86 endorsement 2026 — 2026-08-21]`. No endorsements received or given were identified.

Sources:

Nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-21 — no matches

⚠️ REVIEW FLAG: Platform detail is thin, with her own stated rationale framed around candidate availability and down-ballot support rather than itemized policy positions; recommend a follow-up pass if more detail becomes available closer to November.
Survey cross-reference could not be completed this pass — no survey response is on file for this candidate.

Community Engagement & Character 10 / 25

Community Involvement

`[No specific nonprofit board membership or dedicated volunteer role was found — searched: nationwide Google/news search "Elizabeth Pandich" HD-86 volunteer community — 2026-08-24]`. Per her own campaign material (already noted in Category 1/3), she is a self-described equestrian who moved to Wellington full-time in 2022, with stated priorities protecting Wellington's equestrian preserve and promoting smart, sustainable development.

Sources:

OpenCampaign — "Elizabeth Pandich - Issue Positions" — 2026-08-24

None — genuine data gap, not an adverse finding.

Veteran / First Responder Service

`[NOT FOUND — no military or first-responder service background documented — searched: nationwide Google/news search "Elizabeth Pandich" military veteran — 2026-08-24]`.

Sources:

Nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-24 — no matches

Faith-Based Involvement (scored on character consistency)

`[NOT FOUND — no faith-community affiliation documented — searched: nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-24]`. Not scored negatively per protocol. Character consistency cannot be robustly assessed given the overall thin public record already noted in Category 3; no contradictions were identified, reflecting an absence of material to check rather than a confirmed clean record.

Sources:

Nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-24 — no matches

Debates / Town Halls

`[No documented HD-86-specific debate/town hall invitations or appearances were found this pass — searched: nationwide Google/news search "Elizabeth Pandich" HD-86 Martin County Jupiter forum debate 2026 — 2026-08-24]`. The one candidate forum initially found in search was independently verified as belonging to a different race (Wellington Village Council, see Identity note above) and is not attributed to this candidacy.

Sources:

Nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-24 — no HD-86-specific matches

None — data gap, not treated as avoidance absent any documented invitation.

Social Media Presence & Consistency

Active campaign presence via ActBlue donation page and Linktree. `[No dedicated, high-activity social media account was independently confirmed this pass — searched: nationwide Google/news search — 2026-08-24]`. No inflammatory content was found in available search.

Sources:

ActBlue — "Elizabeth Pandich for Florida House 86" — 2026-08-24

Investigated and ruled out: a Town-Crier candidate forum initially appearing in search results was for Wellington Village Council Seat 2, not her HD-86 candidacy.
This candidate's Category 4 profile is thin across all five metrics, consistent with the minimal platform already documented in Category 3.
Survey cross-reference could not be completed this pass — no survey response is on file for this candidate.

Campaign Transparency 16 / 25

Top Donors / Donor Composition
