City of San Bernardino Candidate Information Guide

Example:

A city council member is running for county supervisor in 2024. The candidate uses the LIFO accounting method to transfer funds from the city council committee to their county supervisor committee as outlined in the table below. Because the 2022 contribution limit is $4,900, only $4,900 of Z Corporations original $5,000 contribution to the city council committee may be transferred to the county supervisor committee. Riley Thomas has already contributed has already contributed $4,000 to the county supervisor committee, so only $900 of their original $1,000 contribution to the city council committee may be transferred to the county supervisor committee.
