Findings
Worth a look Gifts · the statement
Lists $6,762.80 in gifts from Independent Voter Project (501c4) in 2024; the limit from one source is $590
The statement lists 1 gift(s) from Independent Voter Project (501c4) dated in 2024, totalling $6,762.80. The gift limit from a single source was $590 for 2024 (Government Code 89503). The filer's comment on that page: “Policy Conference was 11/17-22/24, was speaker each day”.
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: Independent Voter Project (501c4) $6,763 2024-11-17 p.11
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
Context Behested payments
Of $19,500 paid at their request since 2024: 2 sources ($15,000) are registered lobbyist employers
Payments made at their request (Form 803) from sources that also appear in Cal-Access: California Apartment Association ($10,000 to Central County Foundation, Inc; lobbyist employer); Barona Band of Mission Indians ($5,000 to A.E Arnold Elementary School; lobbyist employer).
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).
- California Apartment Association paid $10,000 to Central County Foundation, Inc · registered lobbyist employer
- Barona Band of Mission Indians paid $5,000 to A.E Arnold Elementary School · registered lobbyist employer
