"Low initially misled investigators about his involvement, claiming Baldwin's appearance was voluntary, before ultimately admitting he had knowledge of the undisclosed activities."
"The settlement with the FPPC includes a $106,000 fine for Low, reflecting the severity of his violations regarding campaign finance reporting."
Former California Assemblymember Evan Low is facing a $106,000 penalty from the state's Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) for failing to disclose campaign payments made to Alec Baldwin through a nonprofit he founded. Investigations revealed Low attempted to hide these payments by misrepresenting Baldwin's appearances as voluntary, despite contracts showing over $227,000 was paid for the appearances. Low's actions, which contravened the Political Reform Act, raise serious questions about transparency in campaign financing, particularly regarding high-profile events funded by tech lobbyists. His settlement is pending FPPC approval.
