SF ETHICS COMMISSION ANNOUNCES THAT THE INDIVIDUAL EXPENDITURE CEILING HAS BEEN RAISED FOR A CANDIDATE FOR THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IN DISTRICT 1

In District 1, the San Francisco Ethics Commission raised the Individual Expenditure Ceiling of one publicly financed candidate, David Lee, to $260,000.  The Individual Expenditure Ceiling for this candidate was raised because on October 19, 2012, the Total Supportive Funds of Eric Mar in District 1 plus the Total Opposition Spending against David Lee totaled $266,421.  Accordingly, by law, the Ethics Commission was required to raise the Individual Expenditure Ceiling of this publicly financed candidate in District 1.

A table reflecting the Individual Expenditure Ceilings of all publicly financed candidates is updated as ceilings are adjusted and is posted on the Ethics Commission website at (https://www.sfethics.org/ethics/2012/05/campaign-finance-expenditure-ceilings-november-6-2012.html).

A candidate running for the Board of Supervisors who seeks public funding must abide by his or her Individual Expenditure Ceiling, which begins at $250,000, and may be raised in increments of $10,000 based on the sum of opposition spending against the participating candidate and the total supportive funds of the candidate’s opponents.  A candidate is required to file Form SFEC-152(a)-2 within 24 hours of receiving contributions or making expenditures that equal or exceed $100,000 and for every $10,000 thereafter.  Any person making independent expenditures, electioneering communications, or member communications that clearly identify a candidate for the Board of Supervisors is required to file a Third Party Disclosure Form within 24 hours of each time the person spends $5,000 or more per candidate.
