Findings

Worth a look Lobbying · the statement

Lobbying reports name $86.60 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: CALIFORNIA BUSINESS PROPERTIES ASSOCIATION $86.60 (lunch).

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).

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 Lobbying

19 of their donors and benefactors lobbied on 160 bills they voted on

Employers that lobbied on bills they voted on (as their lobbying reports name the bills) and that gave $52,600 to their campaign, $385 in gifts reported by lobbying interests. Largest: PHILLIPS 66 ($8,900); CALIFORNIA RESOURCES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES ($8,000); GreenGenStorage LLC ($5,917); MORONGO BAND OF MISSION INDIANS ($5,900); Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation ($5,800). They voted aye on 94 of the 160.

What to check

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.
