Year 2018 Audit Selection

For the 2018 campaign audit cycle, pursuant to its authority under San Francisco Charter Section C3-699-11(4) and San Francisco Campaign and Governmental Code (“SF C&GCC”) Section 1.150, the Ethics Commission is auditing 25 political committees that account for over 76 percent of all reported campaign expenditures reported in connection with the 2018 elections.

Under SF C&GCC Section 1.150, all candidates who receive public funding for their campaigns must be audited. For the 2018 election, 14 candidates qualified for public financing and are therefore subject to mandatory audit by the Commission. Together, these candidates reported spending over $8.8 million on their campaigns, which represents roughly 16 percent of all campaign expenditures reported for the 2018 election cycle.

The 14 mandatory audits of publicly-financed candidates appear below:

In addition, 11 other campaign committees were selected for discretionary audit according to an objective criteria standard from a pool of 168 other committees that also were active in elections during 2018. These 11 committees are 1) recipient committees active in San Francisco’s 2018 elections, 2) not controlled by a candidate, and which 3) each reported spending more than $1 million in their campaigns. Together, the $34.3 million in reported spending by these 11 committees accounted for 61 percent of the $56.4 million reported overall in the 2018 election cycle.
