Findings

Worth a look Lobbying · the statement

Lobbying reports name $724.98 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: CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE $386.53 (hotel stay); California Grocers Association $249.41 (food/drinks); WARNER BROS. DISCOVERY (FKA WARNERMEDIA AND WARNER BROS. ENTERTAINMENT INC.) $89.04 (screening).

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 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE $386.53
  • 2025-03-23 Hotel Stay at Scottsdale Suites Marriott $386.53 (of $773.06 for everyone it lists) · lobbyist employer report
California Grocers Association $249.41
WARNER BROS. DISCOVERY (FKA WARNERMEDIA AND WARNER BROS. ENTERTAINMENT INC.) $89.04
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 $143,848 paid at their request since 2024: 3 sources ($66,848) also gave $14,400 to their campaign; 5 sources ($86,848) are registered lobbyist employers

Payments made at their request (Form 803) from sources that also appear in Cal-Access: Alaska Airlines ($35,000 to Asian Business Association Foundation; gave $2,500 to the campaign); Takeda Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. ($35,000 to Asian Business Association Foundation; lobbyist employer); Niagara Bottling, LLC ($26,848 to Alma Family Services, Dream Center; gave $2,000 to the campaign; lobbyist employer); California Rice Industry Association ($15,000 to Asian Business Association Foundation; lobbyist employer); Los Angeles Dodgers ($5,000 to Alma Family Services, Eastmont Community Center; 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

54 of their donors and benefactors lobbied on 280 bills they voted on

Employers that lobbied on bills they voted on (as their lobbying reports name the bills) and that gave $183,830 to their campaign, $787 in gifts reported by lobbying interests, $121,848 in payments at their request. Largest: ALASKA AIRLINES ($37,500); TAKEDA PHARMACEUTICALS AMERICA ($35,000); NIAGARA BOTTLING ($28,848); CALIFORNIA RICE INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION ($15,000); AIRBNB, INC. ($14,900). They voted aye on 267 of the 280.

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.
Rule: Bills their donors lobbied on
