Findings

Worth a look Lobbying · the statement

Lobbying reports name $392.10 in gifts to them in 2024 from 2 sources this statement doesn't list

Lobbyist employers' reports to the Secretary of State (Cal-Access) list activity expenses that benefited them in 2024, $50 or more from each of these sources, none named among the statement's gifts or travel: EQUALITY CALIFORNIA $283.79 (food / beverages); PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY $108.31 (dinner).

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).
EQUALITY CALIFORNIA $283.79
PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY $108.31

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 $89,114 paid at their request since 2024: 1 source ($71,114) is a registered lobbyist employer

Payments made at their request (Form 803) from sources that also appear in Cal-Access: Olson Remcho, LLP ($71,114 to Amicus Brief in State Public Defender v. Bonta; 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
