Evan Low, a former California Assemblymember, was found by the California Fair Political Practices Commission to have improperly paid actor Alec Baldwin over $227,000 for appearances at events linked to Low's technology nonprofit. The investigation revealed 18 violations related to inadequate recordkeeping and delayed reporting of campaign finances. Despite initially claiming Baldwin volunteered at an event, evidence suggested efforts to hide the payments. Following a five-year inquiry, Low agreed to a $106,000 settlement, exposing significant issues in maintaining ethical campaign standards and compliance with financial disclosures.
The allegations indicated numerous instances where organizers sought to conceal payments to Baldwin, contradicting Low’s claim that he attended as a volunteer.
The California Fair Political Practices Commission's investigation revealed Low's repeated failures in complying with campaign finance laws, marking a severe misconduct.
