Findings

Worth a look Lobbying · the statement

Lobbying reports name $893.10 in gifts to them in 2025 from 3 sources this statement doesn't list

Lobbyist employers' reports to the Secretary of State (Cal-Access) list activity expenses that benefited them in 2025, $50 or more from each of these sources, none named among the statement's gifts or travel: FORTY NINERS FOOTBALL COMPANY LLC, (A DELAWARE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY) $534.10 (food and beverage plus parking at levi's stadium); LOS ANGELES ORGANIZING COMMITTEE FOR THE OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC GAMES 2028 D/B/A LA 28 $299 (ralph lauren black jacket); FERRARA CANDY COMPANY $60 (candy jar).

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).
FORTY NINERS FOOTBALL COMPANY LLC, (A DELAWARE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY) $534.10
  • 2025-11-24 Food and Beverage plus Parking at Levi's Stadium at Forty Niners Football Company, LLC $534.10 · lobbyist employer report
LOS ANGELES ORGANIZING COMMITTEE FOR THE OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC GAMES 2028 D/B/A LA 28 $299
FERRARA CANDY COMPANY $60
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
