Their home
under $250,000estimated market value, Allegheny County
An estimate of the market value of the home at the address Emily Kinkead filed on their latest Statement of Financial Interests: Allegheny County's assessment times the county's Common Level Ratio factor, shown as a range. The address isn't published here. Assessments trail the market and can be appealed, so treat it as a rough figure. How this works.

Findings
Worth a look Lobbying · the statement
Google LLC and its Affiliates reported $2,370 in transportation, lodging or hospitality to them in 2025; the statement doesn't list it
Google LLC and its Affiliates's lobbying expense reports name this official as receiving payment ($2,370, 2025-10-20). Principals name an official once their gifts reach $250 in a year, or hospitality passes $650 (65 Pa.C.S. § 13A05(b)(3)), the same thresholds at which the official lists them (§ 1105(b)(6)–(7)). The statement for 2025 lists no gift or hospitality from them.
What to check- Whether the statement lists it under another name (a parent company, the lobbying firm, the charity it went to)
- Whether the report's recipient is this person (name and position as written)
- Whether an amended statement adds it
