Instructions for Schedule D Summary of Expenditures Supporting/Opposing Other Candidates, Measures, and Committees Schedule D is a summary of payments reported on Schedules E, F, and H that are contributions or independent expenditures to support or oppose candidates and committees. These include: A direct monetary contribution or loan made to another candidate or committee. • A payment made to a vendor for goods or services for a candidate or committee (a nonmonetary contribution). • A donation to a candidate or committee of goods on hand, or the payment of salary or expenses for a campaign employee who spends 10% or more of his or her compensated time working for another candidate or committee. • A payment made for a communication (e.g., a mailing, billboard, radio ad) that expressly advocates the election, passage or defeat of a clearly identified candidate or ballot measure, but the payment is not made to -or at the behest of - the candidate or a ballot measure committee. These payments are "independent expenditures" and may trigger additional reports for your committee. Note: Campaign funds of a candidate or officeholder may not be used to make independent expenditures to support or oppose other candidates. If a total of $100 or more is contributed or expended during a calendar year to support or oppose a single candidate, ballot measure, or a general purpose committee (e.g., a political party), disclose the name of the candidate and the office sought or held and the candidate's district, if any, the number or letter and jurisdiction of the ballot measure, or the name of the general purpose committee. For each candidate or measure listed, indicate whether the payment was made to support or oppose the candidate or measure. For example, if you made a contribution to the Committee Against Measure A, check the "Oppose" box. Disclose the date(s) and amount(s) of contributions or independent expenditures made this period relative to each candidate, measure, or committee, and the cumulative amount contributed or paid to date relative to the candidate, measure, or committee since January 1 of the current calendar year. Cumulate contributions and independent expenditures separately. Contributions and expenditures of less than $100 to support or oppose a single candidate or measure during a calendar year are totaled and reported as a lump sum on Line 2 of the Schedule D Summary. Per Election to Date: If a contribution is made to a candidate that is subject to state contribution limits (or if required by local ordinance), disclose the total amount contributed to the committee in connection with each limitation cycle and identify the election year. The primary and general elections are separate "Per Election to Date" Column Limitation Cycle Year of Election Primary P 2003 03 General G 2004 04 Special S 2005 05 Runoff R 2006 06 elections. For example, a $3,300 contribution to a candidate for the primary election in 2006 would be disclosed as "$3,300 P-06 Description: If you contributed goods on hand to another candidate or committee (e.g., office supplies), describe the goods or services in the "Description" column and disclose the fair market value of the contribution. The fair market value is the amount it would cost the recipient to purchase the goods or services. Because payments must be described when they are reported on Schedules E and F, you need not provide a description on Schedule D for payments reported on Schedules E or F that are nonmonetary contributions or independent expenditures. Date of Contribution or Expenditure: A monetary contribution is made on the date it is mailed, delivered, or otherwise transmitted it to the candidate or committee. A nonmonetary contribution is made on the earlier of the following: 1) the date you made an expenditure for goods or services at the behest of the candidate or committee; or 2) the date the candidate or committee obtained possession or control of the goods or services. Additional Important Information: Refer to the FPPC Campaign Disclosure Manual for your type of committee for important information about recordkeeping, prohibitions on cash payments, restrictions on the use of campaign funds, and more.
