Notice of Individual Expenditure Ceiling Adjustment(s) for One or More Publicly Financed Candidates – Board of Supervisors District 6

English

Date: October 3, 2022

 

Candidates for local office seeking public funds must agree to limit their spending to the applicable Individual Expenditure Ceiling (IEC), per the City’s public financing laws. When required, the Ethics Commission must raise a candidate’s IEC in response to funds raised by that candidate’s opponents and independent expenditures made to support or oppose candidates in that race.

 

Based on candidate filings and third party expenditures reported to the Ethics Commission, the Commission determined today that an adjustment to this ceiling for one or more publicly financed candidates in the November 8, 2022 election is required. The table below indicates candidates’ adjusted IEC levels and summarizes how any adjustment was determined.

 

Note: Pursuant to Campaign and Governmental Conduct Code sec. 1.104, only a candidate’s contributions that do not exceed that candidate’s current IEC are counted toward that candidate’s level of Total Supportive Funds. Thus, an increase in the candidate’s IEC may increase the amount of contributions counted and, as a result, increase the candidate’s level of Total Supportive Funds. This may in turn require adjustment of the IEC of another candidate in the same race. If such an adjustment is required, it will be shown in a separate row in the chart below.

*Denotes final adjusted IEC level for candidate

 

The IEC for supervisorial candidates starts at $350,000 and may be raised in increments of $50,000. The Ethics Commission must raise a candidate’s IEC to the sum of the highest level of Total Supportive Funds among that candidate’s opponents and the Total Opposition Spending against that candidate, rounded up to the nearest whole increment of $50,000.

 

Total Supportive Funds (TSF) is the sum of all funds (including monetary contributions, loans, in-kind contributions and public funds) received by a candidate, up to an amount equal to that candidate’s current IEC, plus any expenditures made or expenses incurred by any person for the purpose of making independent expenditures, electioneering communications or member communications to support that candidate.

 

Total Opposition Spending (TOS) is the sum of all expenditures made or incurred by any person for the purpose of making independent expenditures, electioneering communications or member communications to oppose a specific candidate. Total opposition spending does not include spending by a candidate to support himself or herself or to oppose his or her opponents in the same election.

 

Information about individual expenditure ceilings, third party spending reports, and public funds disbursed to qualified candidates are available on the Ethics Commission’s campaign finance data dashboards.
