Findings

Worth a look Gifts · the statement

Lists $3,700 in gifts from *Television Academy in 2025; the limit from one source is $630

The statement lists 1 gift(s) from *Television Academy dated in 2025, totalling $3,700. The gift limit from a single source was $630 for 2025 (Government Code 89503). The filer's comment on that page: “*The total gift amount was $3,700, which exceeded the gift limit. Reimbursement above the allowable limit was paid after the 30 days, but as soon as it was brought to our attention.”.

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.

Gifts: *Television Academy $3,700 2025-09-14 p.6

Rule: Gifts from one source over the yearly limit

“The gift limit increased to $630 for calendar years 2025 and 2026. The gift limit in calendar year 2024 was $590.”Form 700 (2025/2026), What's New ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works

Worth a look Lobbying · the statement

Lobbying reports name $60.16 in gifts to them in 2024 from 1 source this statement doesn't list

Lobbyist employers' reports to the Secretary of State (Cal-Access) list activity expenses that benefited them in 2024, $50 or more from each of these sources, none named among the statement's gifts or travel: California Environmental Voters $60.16 (meal).

What to check

Whether they attended or accepted it: the report is the lobbyist employer's account.
What Schedule D doesn't require (Form 700 instructions): gifts returned within 30 days; free admission and food at an event where they made a speech, from its organizer; up to two tickets to a campaign or 501(c)(3) fundraiser from the organization holding it; informational material; plaques worth less than $250.
Whether it's on the statement under another name.
That the report's beneficiary is this person (matched by name and office).

California Environmental Voters $60.16

Rule: Lobbying gifts not on the statement

“A gift is reportable if its fair market value is $50 or more. In addition, multiple gifts totaling $50 or more received during the reporting period from a single source must be reported.”Form 700 (2025/2026), Instructions – Schedule D ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works

Context Behested payments

Of $306,377 paid at their request since 2024: 1 source ($12,000) also gave $5,000 to their campaign; 6 sources ($60,829) are registered lobbyist employers

Payments made at their request (Form 803) from sources that also appear in Cal-Access: California Nurses Association ($25,000 to Somos Familia Valle; lobbyist employer); DaVita ($12,000 to Somos Familia Valle; gave $5,000 to the campaign; lobbyist employer); Sutter Health ($7,500 to River Cats Foundation, Inc.; lobbyist employer); Home Depot Corporation ($6,329 to Sen. Menjivar Veterans' Resource Fair; lobbyist employer); Personal Care Products Council ($5,000 to Kids' Community Dental Clinic; lobbyist employer); and more.

What to check

Context: behested payments are legal and public; this puts two public records side by side.
Whether the official later acted on matters involving these sources.
The full Form 803 reports (available from the FPPC on request).

Rule: Behested payments from donors or lobbyist employers

“Unlike gifts and contributions, there are no limits on the amount of payments an official may behest.”FPPC, Reporting Behested Payments – Form 803 ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works

Context Lobbying

46 of their donors and benefactors lobbied on 354 bills they voted on

Employers that lobbied on bills they voted on (as their lobbying reports name the bills) and that gave $144,827 to their campaign, $153 in gifts reported by lobbying interests, $35,829 in payments at their request. Largest: DAVITA INC. ($17,000); ANHEUSER-BUSCH COMPANIES ($13,400); Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians ($11,800); TURO ($9,800); NOVO NORDISK ($8,800). They voted aye on 342 of the 354.

What to check

Context: lobbying a bill and funding a member are both legal and public.
A report names the bills an employer lobbied on, not which side it took: read the bill and the employer's position before drawing anything from a vote.
The bills on their page, sorted by how much these interests gave.
