Findings

Worth a look Lobbying · the statement

Lobbying reports name $135.19 in gifts to them in 2025 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 2025, $50 or more from each of these sources, none named among the statement's gifts or travel: DRAFTKINGS, INC. AND ITS AFFILIATES $135.19 (food, beverage & entertainment).

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).
DRAFTKINGS, INC. AND ITS AFFILIATES $135.19
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 $83,251 paid at their request since 2024: 1 source ($5,000) also gave $5,000 to their campaign; 2 sources ($10,000) are registered lobbyist employers

Payments made at their request (Form 803) from sources that also appear in Cal-Access: Sycuan Band of Kumeyaay Nation ($5,000 to Mandate Project Impact, Inc; gave $5,000 to the campaign; lobbyist employer); Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America ($5,000 to The Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank; 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).
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

28 of their donors and benefactors lobbied on 220 bills they voted on

Employers that lobbied on bills they voted on (as their lobbying reports name the bills) and that gave $100,747 to their campaign, $357 in gifts reported by lobbying interests, $10,000 in payments at their request. Largest: ANHEUSER-BUSCH COMPANIES ($11,800); PHILLIPS 66 ($11,800); BARONA BAND OF MISSION INDIANS ($11,547); Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation ($10,000); WALMART INC. ($6,000). They voted aye on 216 of the 220.

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

How this rule works

Context Travel payments · the statement

Lists $7,715.14 in travel paid by others (4 payments)

Largest: Detroit MI ($2,987.12, Rebuild SoCal Partnership), Boston MA ($2,434.88, CA Biotechnology Foundation), Newport Coast ($1,893.14, CA Assoc of Health Plans). 4 of 4 are listed as gifts.

What to check
  • Who paid, and for what: speeches, conferences and nonprofit-paid travel are treated differently (Schedule E instructions).
  • Whether the paying organizations have business before the office.

Travel: Rebuild SoCal Partnership $2,987 p.5Travel: CA Biotechnology Foundation $2,435 p.5Travel: CA Assoc of Health Plans $1,893 p.5

Rule: Travel paid by others

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: VIEJAS BAND OF KUMEYAAY INDIANS ($5,900).

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).
