Thank you, but that filing with the ethics committee has nothing to do with campaign financing. It’s mentioned as one of those things a prospective candidate has to do, and doesn’t supplant any other requirements for documenting a campaign’s finances.
The Candidate Report is a one-time requirement upon announcement of candidacy (and then an annual event, if necessary).

Presumably, Cruz arranged for these loans before officially becoming a candidate, so they appeared in that filing.
Once a candidate, he was subject to the whole range of FEC regulations and requirements, one of which appears as section (g) at this link:
https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/11/104.8
So, his filing with the Senate Ethics Committee wasn’t sufficient to get him past this part of the law.
This was on the FEC site under loans to campaign.
It is not the Senate filing, which BTW goes to the FEC.
