Evan Low, a former California Assemblymember, faced a $106,000 fine after admitting to concealing a $227,000 payment to Alec Baldwin for a political fundraiser. The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) discovered that Low and his committees violated campaign finance laws on 23 counts during his successful 2020 Assembly run. Despite initially claiming Baldwin's appearance was voluntary, evidence revealed that payments were improperly documented. This situation led to multiple violations and raised significant concerns about transparency in campaign finance activities.
"During the investigation of this matter, the Enforcement Division identified multiple accrued expenses, paid for by the Foundation, that the Committee and Low failed to timely disclose in violation of the Act."
"Low initially claimed Baldwin voluntarily appeared at his fundraiser... However, internal messaging and records showed the payment to Baldwin was split between Low's reelection committee and the FCTIE."
