Findings
Worth a lookGifts
Lists $2,856.11 in gifts from Legislative Action California in 2025; the limit from one source is $630
The statement lists 4 gift(s) from Legislative Action California dated in 2025, totalling $2,856.11. The gift limit from a single source was $630 for 2025 (Government Code 89503). The filer's comment on that page: “*Reimbursed more than 30 days after receipt”.
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.
