Date: Wednesday, September 11, 2024
Due Date: September 25, 2024

The Massachusetts campaign finance law requires this office to review all reports to ensure that they are legal, complete and accurate. A routine review of your report(s) revealed the following issue(s) which may need correction, clarification or additional information to provide complete and accurate public disclosure of your campaign finance activity for the reporting period.

Missing Deposit Report(s)

It appears you have not yet e-filed deposit reports for the following bank deposits:

Deposit Date Amount
7/29/2024 $500.00
7/29/2024 $14.99
7/29/2024 $5.00
8/14/2024 $24.01

Please e-file a deposit report for each missing item using Reporter 7 or the Gateway.

Potential Non-Disclosure of PAC Contribution(s)

The bank for each of the listed PAC(s) reported the following contribution(s) to your committee. Your committee reports, however, do not disclose the deposit of these contributions.

Date PAC ID Name Amount
7/29/2024 80769 1199 SEIU MA PAC $500.00

Please review your records. You will likely need to create a new deposit report to disclose this contribution. However, it is possible that the contribution may have been attributed to the treasurer or officer of the PAC, or erroneously attributed to a different PAC, in which case you would need to amend a previously-filed deposit report.
