City of San Bernardino Candidate Information Guide

Sponsored Committee If the committee is sponsored by an entity, provide the name and address of the sponsor. In addition, indicate the industry group or affiliation of the sponsor. Individuals do not sponsor committees.

An entity sponsors a committee if any of the following criteria apply:

• The committee receives 80% or more of its contributions from the entity or its members, officers, employees, or shareholders in the preceding 24 months. A committee must make this determination at the time of filing each campaign statement based on activity occurring through the end of the statement period, and, if the committee is required to file a pre-election statement, upon receiving a contribution during the period between the second pre-election campaign statement period and the election. • The entity collects contributions for the committee through payroll deductions or dues from its members, officers, or employees. • The entity, alone or in combination with other organizations, provides all or nearly all of the administrative services for the committee. • The entity, alone or in combination with other organizations, sets the policies for contribution solicitation or payment of expenditures from committee funds.
