NEW DATA
The July 1 download of data from the FEC is now available.
$200,000 CORPORATE FINE
The FEC announced yesterday that carpet maker Beaulieu of
America Inc paid
a $200,000 civil penalty for a "knowing and willful" violation
of the FECA
after providing bonuses and reimbursements to thirty-six
employee who had
given to Lamar Alexander's 1996 presidential campaign. CEO Carl Bouchaert
was fined $1 million in December 1998 for his role in the scheme. The case
was handled by the Department of Justice.
JUNE 30TH CANDIDATES CLOSE BOOKS - NEW REPORTS DUE
Mid-Year campaign finance reports are due from all candidates by July
31st.
The June 30, 1999, cash on hand figures should identify those with
growing
war chests for the 2000 elections. Others may have totally wiped out any
debt from the 98 election. If a potential House or Senate candidate (such
as in NY) has not started an official campaign committee by June 30, 1999,
you will not see a mid-year report and you will not see their first
finance report until January 31, 2000.
Presidential candidates will also be filing new reports on July 15th.
Bradley and Gore electronically filed their April report, and it was
instantly available to the public and media. Several other candidates
stated they would file electronically next time. It is now next time. If
you want to be able to quickly and easily analyze their campaign finance
data, now is the time to push them to file electronically.
Reporters may also be seeking early figures based on phone interviews with
campaigns. Make sure to get as many figures as possible. If you ask about
cash on hand, also ask about debts owed. If you ask about receipts from
fund raising events, campaigns will probably give you gross receipts
figures, which are higher figures than net receipts. Check to see if
receipts include any loans or transfers from existing committees. Make
sure to ask about disbursements.
NEW SOFT MONEY REPORTED
Below is a list of the large soft money listed in paper reports filed June
20-25 by some of the national party committees, covering May 1999. These
reports will be keyed into the FEC data base next month. The DNC and the
NRCC do not report monthly. Their first report for 1999 will be filed in
July.
Highlights:
Democrats picked up two big bundles - almost $750,000 from the Hollywood
entertainment and communications industry; and $380,000 from Texas
plaintiff trial lawyers. Democrats also picked up $250,000 from Mirage
Resorts.
Republicans picked up $230,000 from AT&T; $85,000 from Microsoft; $100,000
each from Anschutz Corp and Pepsico; $100,000 each from Lois Pope, Jim
Click, and Arnold Aronoff. Pope, Click and Arnoff are new $100,000 soft
money donors.
