MethodologyLobbying
California lobbying reports (Cal-Access) haven't been loaded yet. They're loaded each week from the Secretary of State's export.
Disclosures
Statements of economic interests (Form 700)
California officials file a Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700) each year: their investments, real property, income and gifts. Statewide officers, members of the Legislature and county supervisors file theirs with, or through, the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC), which publishes them.
Bought and sold (Schedule A-1)
No investments acquired or disposed of in the statements read.
- 2025 statement ↗: no Schedule A-1 investments
From Schedule A-1 (stocks, bonds and other interests under 10%) of each annual statement, exactly as filed: the investment, the fair market value box checked and the date it was acquired or disposed of. A Form 700 gives the investment's value, not the size of a purchase or sale, and is filed once a year, so these aren't trade reports like Congress's. Where the statement doesn't say whose investment it is, ThePillory doesn't either. How these are read
