Findings

Worth a look Gifts

Lists $652.27 in gifts from CADEM in 2025; the limit from one source is $630

The statement lists 6 gift(s) from CADEM dated in 2025, totalling $652.27. The gift limit from a single source was $630 for 2025 (Government Code 89503). The filer's comment on that page: “A reimbursement check for $22.27 was sent to CADEM”.

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

Context Travel payments

Lists $14,066.92 in travel paid by others (8 payments)

Largest: Taiwan ($7,239, Taiwan, Ministry of Foreign Affairs), Newport Beach ($1,766.67, Alliance California's Farmers & Ranchers Community Fund), Napa ($1,520, Foundation for the CA's Technology and Innovation Economy). 8 of 8 are listed as gifts.

What to check
  • Who paid, and for what: speeches, conferences and nonprofit-paid travel are treated differently (Schedule E instructions).
  • Whether the paying organizations have business before the office.

Rule: Travel paid by others
“Travel payments from third parties (not your employer).”Form 700 (2025/2026), Types of reportable interests ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works

Worth a look Lobbying

Lobbying reports name $125.54 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: TRANSPORTATION CALIFORNIA $125.54 (meal).

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).
TRANSPORTATION CALIFORNIA $125.54
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
