Findings

Worth a look Gifts · the statement

Lists $910.10 in gifts from Legislative Action California in 2025; the limit from one source is $630

The statement lists 1 gift(s) from Legislative Action California dated in 2025, totalling $910.10. 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.

Rule: Gifts from one source over the yearly limit
“The gift limit increased to $630 for calendar years 2025 and 2026. The gift limit in calendar year 2024 was $590.”Form 700 (2025/2026), What's New ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works

Worth a look Lobbying · the statement

Lobbying reports name $340.03 in gifts to them in 2025 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 2025, $50 or more from each of these sources, none named among the statement's gifts or travel: FanDuel Group, Inc $204.84 (food, beverage & entertainment); 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).
FanDuel Group, Inc $204.84
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
