Findings

Worth a look Gifts

Lists $593.48 in gifts from California Democratic Party in 2024; the limit from one source is $590

The statement lists 6 gift(s) from California Democratic Party dated in 2024, totalling $593.48. The gift limit from a single source was $590 for 2024 (Government Code 89503). The filer's comment on that page: “* California Democratic Party. Listing total gifts of $493.48, overage of $3.48. Referencing full amount as $3.48 reimbursement was not paid within 30 days after receipt. Reimbursement check is in the mail today.”.

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
