This matter arose from an audit performed by the Franchise Tax Board’s Political Reform Audit Program. Jack Lavers was an unsuccessful candidate for California State Assembly, District 26. Lavers for Assembly 2018 was their controlled committee, and Thomas Montgomery was the committee’s treasurer. In 2017 and 2018, Lavers, the committee, and Montgomery failed to keep required payee source records regarding campaign expenditures incurred during two reporting periods, in violation of Government Code Section 84104 (2 counts); and in 2017, they failed to pay certain campaign expenditures from the committee’s single, designated bank account during one reporting period, in violation of Government Code Section 85201 (1 count).
