How this rule works

Worth a look Lobbying

Lobbying reports name $658.26 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: AT&T Services Inc. and its Affiliates (ID# E00663) $590 (2 loft tickets to the sacramento kings game.); CALIFORNIA BUSINESS PROPERTIES ASSOCIATION $68.26 (food and beverage).

What to check
  • Whether they attended or accepted it: the report is the lobbyist employer's account.

  • Whether it's on the statement under another name.
  • That the report's beneficiary is this person (matched by name and office).
