  • Jason Shoultz: Good Evening. Two Candidates Are Vying to Represent California’S 7Th District in Congress, Incumbent Ami Bera and Challenger Doug Ose
    Jason Shoultz: Good evening. Two candidates are vying to represent California’s 7th district in Congress, incumbent Ami Bera and challenger Doug Ose. Tonight, those two men will debate here at the KVIE Television Studios. The one hour live broadcast begins now. Announcement: The Bera-Ose 2014 California Seventh Congressional District Debate, sponsored by Capital Public Radio; the Center for California Studies at Sacramento State; Folsom Lake College; KVIE Public Television; the Los Rios Community College District; and the Sacramento Bee. Jason Shoultz: In less than a month, voters will decide who will represent California’s 7th district in the US House of Representatives. The 7th district is situated in eastern Sacramento County and includes the cities of Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova, and Folsom. This close race has attracted lots of national attention, and this is the only scheduled debate between incumbent Democrat Ami Bera and Republican challenger Doug Ose. Representative Bera was elected to the post in 2012. Doug Ose represented California’s 3rd district from 1999 to 2005. The path to Capitol Hill for either of them goes through the KVIE Studios tonight, and gentlemen, thank you so much for joining us. I’m Jason Shoultz, your moderator for the evening, and we have a panel of three journalists who will be questioning the candidates. Let’s meet them now. Marianne Russ, managing editor of Capital Public Radio; Dan Smith, the Sacramento Bee’s Capital Bureau Chief; and Michaela Kwoka-Coleman of Folsom Lake College’s online newspaper, The Talon. Also with us tonight, a studio audience, and they have been asked to save their applause for the conclusion of the debate.

  • MUR # 7D79 "Kun"
    ^ RECEIVED MUR #_7d79_ "KUn" FOR ACCOUNTABILITY FACT AND CIVIC TRUST OFFICE OF GENERAL ro. May 31,2016 SENSITIVE 0-* Federal Election Commission I Office of the General Counsel VJO 999 E Street, NW n:» Washington, DC 20463 Re: Complaint Against Ami Bera; Janine Bera; Babulal Bera; Kanla Bera; Ami Bert^r Congress; and Jennifer May Dear Counsel; The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) is a nonprofit organi2ation dedicated to promoting accountability, ethics, and transparency in government and civic arenas. We achieve this mission by hanging a lantern over public officials who put their own interests over the interests of the public good. This Complaint is submitted, upon information and belief, to address violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended ("FECA"), and FEC regulations by Ami '\Amerish" Bera, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives and candidate for re-election in 2016; Janine Bera, Congressman Bera's wife; Babulal Bera, Congressman Bera's father; Kanta Bera, Congressman Bera?s mother; Ami Bera for Congress (Committee No. C00461061); and Jennifer May, in her official capacity as Treasurer. The Bera Family's history of financing federal campaigns reveals an intricate donor swap shell game designed to evade contribution limits by shuffling $240,000 around a network of Congressional campaigns.' Similar to the contribution reimbursement scheme that Babulal Bera recently pled guilty to perpetrating, this complex family shell game was played out through a quid pro quo payment/repayment system. As recent reporting reveals, the Bera Family directed a network of Democratic Congressional candidates and their family members to make contributions to Ami Bera for Congress, with the understanding that the Bera Family would provide contributions to the participating campaign committees in return.
