Findings

Worth a look Gifts · the statement

Lists $645 in gifts from California Democratic Party in 2025; the limit from one source is $630

The statement lists 5 gift(s) from California Democratic Party dated in 2025, totalling $645. The gift limit from a single source was $630 for 2025 (Government Code 89503).

What to check
  • Whether part of it was returned, or paid back, in time to not count (the filer's comments often say).
  • Whether the gifts are from one source (a couple is two sources) or are of a kind the limit doesn't cover (family, wedding gifts and the like).
  • The FPPC's gift fact sheet and Regulation 18940.2 for the exceptions.

Context Behested payments

Of $309,007 paid at their request since 2024: 10 sources ($155,682) are registered lobbyist employers

Payments made at their request (Form 803) from sources that also appear in Cal-Access: Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria ($35,000 to EQCA California C4; lobbyist employer); Salesforce ($21,683 to EQCA California C3, Equality Institute C3; lobbyist employer); DoorDash, Inc ($19,999 to Abundance Network Education (c3), EQCA California C4; lobbyist employer); Microsoft ($18,000 to EQCA California C4; lobbyist employer); Sutter Health ($15,000 to EQCA Institute C3; 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

14 of their donors and benefactors lobbied on 176 bills they voted on

Employers that lobbied on bills they voted on (as their lobbying reports name the bills) and that gave $481 in gifts reported by lobbying interests, $168,182 in payments at their request. Largest: FEDERATED INDIANS OF GRATON RANCHERIA ($35,000); CALIFORNIA JEWISH LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS LEADERSHIP FOUNDATION ($30,000); Salesforce, Inc. ($21,683); DoorDash, Inc. ($19,999); Microsoft Corporation ($18,000). They voted aye on 173 of the 176.

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.
