Findings

Worth a look Lobbying · the statement

Lobbying reports name $122.19 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: CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE $122.19 (lunch- speaker doesn't count towards limit).

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 $122.19
  • 2025-10-29 Lunch- Speaker doesn't count towards limit at Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach $122.19 (of $244.38 for everyone it lists) · lobbyist employer report
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 $638,923 paid at their request since 2024: 4 sources ($161,848) also gave $21,300 to their campaign; 7 sources ($242,173) are registered lobbyist employers

Payments made at their request (Form 803) from sources that also appear in Cal-Access: VSP Vision ($131,848 to AD 29 Eyecare Clinics, Meta Platforms Inc.; gave $5,000 to the campaign; lobbyist employer); AltaMed Health Services Corp ($50,000 to Cesar Chavez Foundation; lobbyist employer); Sunrun ($15,000 to The Climate Center; gave $2,500 to the campaign; lobbyist employer); United Farm Workers ($15,000 to Cesar Chavez Foundation; lobbyist employer); Cruise ($10,325 to Equality California C4; 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).

Context Lobbying

76 of their donors and benefactors lobbied on 448 bills they voted on

Employers that lobbied on bills they voted on (as their lobbying reports name the bills) and that gave $467,412 to their campaign, $1,145 in gifts reported by lobbying interests, $241,848 in payments at their request. Largest: VSP VISION ($136,848); ALTAMED HEALTH SERVICES CORPORATION ($50,000); Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation ($35,000); Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation ($25,000); AIRBNB, INC. ($21,800). They voted aye on 447 of the 448.

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
