Findings

Worth a look Gifts · the statement

Lists $1,255.52 in gifts from CIPA in 2025; the limit from one source is $630

The statement lists 3 gift(s) from CIPA dated in 2025, totalling $1,255.52. The gift limit from a single source was $630 for 2025 (Government Code 89503).

What to check
  • Whether part of it was returned, or paid back, in time to not count (the filer's comments often say).
  • Whether the gifts are from one source (a couple is two sources) or are of a kind the limit doesn't cover (family, wedding gifts and the like).
  • The FPPC's gift fact sheet and Regulation 18940.2 for the exceptions.

Context Campaign money · the statement

1 source on this statement also gave to their campaign

Listed here and among the campaign's contributors in Cal-Access: California State Council of Laborers ($127).

What to check
  • Context: a donor who is also an employer, client or gift-giver is public on both records.
  • Whether the official later acted on matters involving them (votes, contracts, recusals).
