Amy McKeever Toman Executive Director Florida Elections Commission February 2, 2016

NOH FEC # 15-268 Please refer to the information below for further instructions related to your particular hearing:

If this is a hearing to consider an appeal from an automatic fine, the Filing Officer has imposed a fine on you for your failure to file a campaign treasurer’s report on the designated due date and, by filing an appeal, you have asked the Commission to consider either (1) that the report was in fact timely filed; or (2) that there were unusual circumstances that excused the failure to file the report timely. You are required to prove your case. If the Commission finds that the report was filed timely or that there were unusual circumstances that excused the failure, it may waive the fine, in whole or in part. The Commission may reduce a fine after considering the factors in Section 106.265, Florida Statutes. If the Commission finds that the report was not timely filed and there were no unusual circumstances, the fine will be upheld.

If this is a hearing to consider a consent order before a determination of probable cause has been made, the Commission will decide whether to accept or reject the consent order. If the Commission accepts the consent order, the case will be closed and become public. If the Commission rejects the consent order or does not make a decision to accept or deny the consent order, the case will remain confidential, unless confidentiality has been waived.

If this is a hearing to consider a consent order after a determination of probable cause has been made, the Commission will decide whether to accept or reject the consent order. If the Commission accepts the consent order, the case will be closed. If the Commission rejects the consent order or does not make a decision to accept or deny the consent order, the Respondent will be entitled to another hearing to determine if the Respondent committed the violation(s) alleged.

If this is a probable cause hearing, the Commission will decide if there is probable cause to believe that the Respondent committed a violation of Florida’s election laws. Respondent should be prepared to explain how the staff in its recommendation incorrectly applied the law to the facts of the case. Respondent may not testify, call others to testify, or introduce any documentary or other evidence at the probable cause hearing. The Commission will only decide whether Respondent should be charged with a violation and, before the Commission determines whether a violation has occurred or a fine should be imposed, Respondent will have an opportunity for another hearing at which evidence may be introduced.

If this is an informal hearing, it will be conducted pursuant Sections 120.569 and 120.57(2), Florida Statutes; Chapter 28 and Commission Rule 2B-1.004, Florida Administrative Code. At the hearing, the Commission will decide whether the Respondent committed the violation(s) charged in the Order of Probable Cause. The Respondent will be permitted to testify. However the Respondent may not call witnesses to testify.

Respondent may argue why the established facts in the Staff Recommendation do not support the violations charged in the Order of Probable Cause. At Respondent’s request, the Commission may determine whether Respondent’s actions in the case were willful. The Respondent may also address the appropriateness of the recommended fine. If Respondent claims that his limited resources make him unable to pay the statutory fine, he must provide the Commission with written proof of his financial resources at the hearing. A financial affidavit form is available from the Commission Clerk.

Re: Case No: FEC 15-268

Deai Ms Malphms,

I received yom ce1tified letter regaiding this matter on Maich 29, 2014 According to the lette1, the repo1ts at issue are 2014 Pl, 2014 GI, and 2014 IR I will address each repo1t below

2014 P7 - I made several amendments to this report in response to each notice that I received regaiding enors or missing information Moreove1, on Februaiy 24, 2015, I emailed ChiefK1isti Bronson with the following message (attached hereto):

I received the notice asking me to update my 1epo1ts Hopefolly, the updates I made today will add1ess most of the issues Howevei, I still have not figmed out why there is an outstanding balance. I know this is incorrect because I had to put in pe1sonal money at the end I have 1equested the foll bank statement from my bank so that I can compare the statement to my filed 1epo1ts and correct the issue .. I am trying to comply as fast as possible with your requests.. If you have anything else that you need from me please let me know. I was a candidate for House Seat 61 in I ampa but lost in the primary.. Thank you

I did not receive a 1esponse to this email It appeais that my final attempt at amendment was Ma1ch 9, 2015 .. I filed several amendments on vaiious 1epo1ts that day because I had not received and analyzed my complete campaign bank statements until then The eno1 repo1t attached to the Februaiy 19, 2015 letter states that two candidate loan 1epayment entries were flagged as Incorrect Distributed Amount I am unsure as to the meaning of that enor. These entries (seq #15 and seq #28) reflect 1epayments of personal loans that I made to the campaign In an attempt to conect the en ors, I 1eforenced 1eports P6andG1 in the comment sections of these entiies .. Repo1t P6 reflects a $2000 loan I made to the campaign and 1epo1t GI reflects a $1700 loan I made to the campaign. These loans

II 047251 DOCX; I ( constitute the bulk of the amount that was being repaid by seq # 15 and #28 on the P7 report

2014 Gl - I made several amendments to this report as well in response to each notice that I received regarding enors or missing information It appears that my final attempt at amendment was March 9, 2015 I filed several amendments on various reports that day because I had not received and analyzed my complete campaign bank statements until then .. The error report attached to the February 19, 2015 letter states that seq #25 was flagged as Reimbursement without corresponding other distribution I am unsure as to the meaning of that error However, after a review of my records it is apparent that this entry reflects Salary and is not a reimbursement for, or related to, supplies

2014 TR- The email that was sent on February 24, 2015 was triggered by this report As stated in the email, I filed several amendments on various reports on March 9, 2015 because I had not received and analyzed my complete campaign bank statements until then .. Upon receipt, I reviewed my foll bank statement and compared it to my filed reports Io the best of my ability, I updated the reports to address any discrepancies between the bank statement and the reports.. Please note, I changed campaign depositories in June 2013 from Suntrust Bank to Sabadell The statements that I have reviewed are the Sabadell statements .. I am feverishly attempting to gather the Suntrust statements Notwithstanding this fact, by looking at the filed reports one can see that I gave the campaign account personal money as late as September 2014 This September 2014 transaction was to prevent the campaign account from being overdrawn .. In other words, there was/is no remaining balance The email referenced throughout this letter reflects that fact

In conclusion, I hope that these explanations are sufficient If not, please contact me via email ([email protected]), phone (8132216860), or mail (physical address above) As you can see, I take filing reports and responding to notices related thereto very seriously. To the best of my recollection, I amended the reports in response to every notice that I received in an attempt to address the errors Thank you for your consideration

Sincerely,

SeanM Shaw

STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOLLOWING INVESTIGATION

Pursuant to section 106.25(4)(c), Florida Statutes, undersigned staff counsel files this w1itten recommendation for disposition of the complaint in this case recommending that there is probable cause to charge Respondent with violating Section 106.07(2)(b)l., Florida Statutes Based upon a thmough review of the Repmt oflnvestigation submitted on September 9, 2015, the following facts and law suppo1t this staff recommendation:

L On March 10, 2015, the Florida Elections Commission ("Commission") received a refonal from the Depaitment of State, Division of Elections ("Complainant") alleging that Sean M. Shaw ("Respondent") violated Chapter 106, Florida Statutes

2.. Respondent was a candidate for the Florida House of Representatives, District 61, during the 2014 primary election cycle ..

3 Complainant alleged that Respondent failed to file an addendum to his 2014 P7, 2014 GI, and the 2014 IR Repmts after receiving notice the reports were incomplete

4. By letter dated April 29, 2015, the Executive Director notified Respondent that Commission staff would investigate the following statutory provision:

Section 106.07(2)(b)l., Florida Statutes: Respondent, a 2014 candidate for the office of State Representative, District 61, and acting as his own t1easurer, failed to timely make necessaiy amendments to his 2014 P7, GI, and IR reports, as alleged in the complaint

Alleged Violation: Section 106.07(2)(b)l., Florida Statutes

5. On Januaiy 15, 2013, Respondent filed his Appointment of Cainpaign Treasurer and Designation of Campaign Depository for Candidates form ("DS-DE 9") and appointed himself as campaign treasurer (ROI Exhibit 1) 1

6. By letters dated January 8, 2015, February 6, 2015, and Februaiy 19, 2015, the Division informed Respondent that his 2014 P7, 2014 GI, and his 2014 IR Repmts were

1 The Report of Investigation is referred to herein as "ROI"

Staff Recommendation FEC 15-268 I incomplete and required an amendment The letters advised Respondent to amend each of the above three reports within seven days from receipt of the notice As a courtesy, the Division attached an en or report to each of the letters explaining the items that required an amendment (ROI Exhibits 2-5)

7 Table 1 referenced below provides a detailed list of the errors associated with each report (See ROI, page 2)

Report Error

2014 P7 Contribution 1efund rep01ted inco11ectly 2014 GI Reimbmsement without corresponding Other Distiibution 2014 IR Reflects balance afte1 te1mination 1ep01t

8. Respondent submitted a Wiitten response to the refonal dated April 10, 2015 Respondent stated that he filed the amended reports on Match 9, 2015 Respondent explained, "I have requested the foll bank statement from my bank so that I can compare the statement to my filed repo1ts and conect the issue I still have not figmed out why there is an outstanding balance. I know this is inconect because I had to put in personal money at the end" (ROI Exhibit 6)

9 On June 8, 2015, Kristi Bronson, Bmeau Chief~Division of Elections, confirmed in an email to Commission staff that Respondent has filed amended campaign reports but the reports are still not correct (ROI Exhibit 7)

10 In a sworn affidavit-questionnaire received on August 25, 2015, Respondent explained that it was his understanding that the amendments he filed on Match 9, 2015 corrected all outstanding errors except for the TR. Respondent explained there was a delay in amending the reports because he was waiting to receive bank records so that he could compare the bank statements to the reports filed and conect the issue (ROI Exhibit 8)

11 Despite having 1eceived th1ee w1itten reminde1s from the Division, Respondent failed to make timely amendments to his campaign's 2014 P7 and 2014 Gl Repo1ts after 1eceiving notice from the Division that the 1eports required an amendment, in violation of Section 106 .. 07(2)(b)l, Florida Statutes Respondent's 2014 Termination Report reflected a surplus balance, which is a violation of Section 106 .. 141(1), Flo1ida Statutes, and is not a violation of Section 106.07(2)(b)1 .. , Flo1ida Statutes, due to an e1ror (ROI Exhibits 2-5)2

2 In its referral, the Division of Elections did not allege a violation of Section 106 141(1), Florida Statutes, due to Respondent's campaign surplus after the 2014 IR was filed Therefore, the Commission was precluded from investigating that section of law

Staff Recommendation FEC 15-268 2 12 "Probable Cause" is defined as 1easonable grounds of suspicion suppo1ted by circumstances sufficiently strong to wanant a cautious person in the belief that the person has committed the offense charged Schmitt v State, 590 So 2d 404, 409 (Fla. 1991) Probable cause exists where the facts and circumstances, of which an [investigator] has reasonably trnstwo1thy info1mation, are sufficient in themselves for a reasonable man to reach the conclusion that an offense has been committed. Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles v Favino, 667 So2d 305, 309 (Fla .. 1" DCA 1995}.

13. The facts set forth above show that Respondent was a candidate for State Rep1esentative, District 61, during the 2014 election cycle, and he served as his own campaign treasurer. During his campaign, Respondent failed to make timely amendments to his campaign's 2014 P7 and his 2014 Gl Reports after receiving multiple written notices from the Division that the reports were incomplete ..

Based upon these facts and circumstances, I 1ecommend that the Commission find probable cause to charge Respondent with violating the following statutory provision:

Count 1:

On or about April 6, 2015, Respondent violated Section 106..07(2)(b)L, Florida Statutes, when he failed to timely make necessary amendments to the campaign's 2014 P7 Report

Count 2:

Re: Case No: FEC 15-268

Deru Ms Malphurs,

I received your certified letter regruding this matter on Mruch 29, 2014 According to the letter, the reports at issue rue 2014 P7, 2014 Gl, and 2014 TR. I will address each rep01t below.

2014 P7 - I made several amendments to this rep01t in response to each notice that I received regruding errors or missing information Moreover, on Februruy 24, 2015, I emailed Chief Kristi Bronson with the following message (attached hereto):

I received the notice asking me to update my reports .. Hopefully, the updates I made today will address most of the issues. However, I still have not figured out why there is an outstanding balance. I know this is inco11 ect because I had to put in personal money at the end. I have requested the full bank statement from my bank so that I can comprue the statement to my filed rep01ts and conect the issue I am trying to comply as fast as possible with your requests If you have anything else that you need from me please let me know. I was a candidate for House Seat 61 in Tampa but Jost in the primary. Thank you.

I did not receive a response to this email It appears that my final attempt at amendment was March 9, 2015. I filed several amendments on vruious reports that day because I had not received and analyzed my complete campaign bank statements until then. The enor report attached to the February 19, 2015 letter states that two candidate loan repayment entries were flagged as Incorrect Distributed Amount I am unsure as to the meaning of that e11or These entries (seq #15 and seq #28) reflect repayments of personal loans that I ·· made to the campaign In an attempt to conect the eITors, I referenced reports P6 and G 1 in the comment sections ofthese entries Report P6 1eflects a $2000 loan I made to the campaign and repo1t GI reflects a $1700 loan I made to the campaign. These loans

Tl 04 7251 DOCX; I constitute the bulk of the amount that was being repaid by seq #15 and #28 on the P7 report.

2014 Gl - I made seveial amendments to this repmt as well in response to each notice that I received regarding enors or missing information .. It appears that my final attempt at amendment was March 9, 2015 I filed several amendments on various reports that day because I had not received and analyzed my complete campaign bank statements until then The erro11eport attached to the February 19, 2015 letter states that seq #25 was flagged as Reimbursement without corresponding other distribution I am unsute as to the meaning of that enor. However, after a review of my records it is apparent that this entry reflects Salary and is not a reimbursement for, or related to, supplies

2014 TR- The email that was sent on Febrnary 24, 2015 was triggered by this report As stated in the email, I filed several amendments on various reports on March 9, 2015 because I had not received and analyzed my complete campaign bank statements until then. Upon receipt, I reviewed my full bank statement and compared it to my filed reports Io the best of my ability, I updated the reports to address any discrepancies between the bank statement and the reports Please note, I changed campaign depositories in June 2013 fiom Suntrust Bank to Sabadell The statements that I have reviewed are the Sabadell statements. I am feverishly attempting to gathe1 the Suntrust statements Notwithstanding this fact, by looking at the filed reports one can see that I gave the campaign account personal money as late as September 2014 This September 2014 transaction was to prevent the campaign account from being overdrawn In other wmds, there was/is no remaining balance The email refo1enced throughout this lette1 reflects that fact

In conclusion, I hope that these explanations are sufficient If not, please contact me via email ([email protected]), phone (8132216860), or mail (physical address above) As you can see, I take filing reports and responding to notices related the1eto ve1y se1iously. To the best of my recollection, I amended the reports in response to eve1y notice that I received in an attempt to address the errors. Thank you fo1 yout consideiation

Sincerely,

Sean M Shaw

18.. Is it your understanding that the Amended Reports that you filed on Miuch 9, 2015 corrected all errors on the reports at issue (2014 P7, 2014 GI and the TR)? At the time I filed the Amended Reports on March 9, 2015, it was my understanding that I was correcting all outstanding errors except for TR In my April 10, 2015 letter to the Commission, I do reference the fact that in the 2014 Gl report, seq #25 reflects Salary and is not a reimbursement for, or related to, supplies. It appears that particular mistake was caught after the March 9, 2015 amendment. 19 Please explain why you did not amend the reports (2014 P7, 2014 GI and the TR) after receiving the initial lette1 and error report from the Division On February 24, 2015, I emailed Chief Kristi Bronson with the following message:

I 1eceived the notice asking me to update my reports. Hopeful(y, the updates I made today will address most of the issues. However, I still have notfigured out why there is an outstanding balance. I know this is incorrect because I had to put in personal money at the end" I have requested the full bank statement from my bank so that I can compare the statement to my filed reports and correct the iHue" I am trying to comp(y asfast as possible with your requests. If you have anything else that you need from me please let me know. I was a candidate for House Seat 61 in Tampa but lost in the primary. Thank you"

Upon receipt of the initial letter and error· report, I began researching the erTors in an attempt to address them" It took me a long time to complete this r·esearch" I amended the reports as soon as I had answers to the error·s. 20 According to your bank records, the campaign account had a zero balance on November 4, 2014; however, your TR shows a possible balance of $3597.26 Please explain this discrepancy Unfortunately, I do not have an explanation for this discrepancy. I have gone through my records in an attempt to figure this out. I am very sorry to say that I am unable to do so. I can only state that I gave the campaign account personal money as late as September 2014. This September 2014 transaction was to prevent the campaign account from being overdrawn" In other words, there was/is no remaining balance. I would not have given personal money to the campaign if I had a possible balance of $3597"26"

I HEREBY SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT THE FOREGOING INFORMATION IS TRUE AND CORRECT TO !HE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE ..

Re: Case No: FEC 15-268

Dear Ms .. Malphurs,

I received your certified letter regarding this matter on March 29, 2014 .. According to the letter, the reports at issue are 2014 P7, 2014 GI, and 2014 TR I will address each report below

2014 P7 - I made several amendments to this repoit in response to each notice that I received regarding errors or missing information .. Moreover, on February 24, 2015, I emailed Chief Kristi Bronson with the following message (attached hereto):

I received the notice asking me to update my reports .. Hopefully, the updates I made today will address most of the issues. However, I still have not figured out why there is an outstanding balance .. I know this is inco11ect because I had to put in personal money at the end I have requested the foll bank statement from my bank so that I can compare the statement to my filed repmts and conect the issue I am trying to comply as fast as possible with your requests If you have anything else that you need from me please let me know. I was a candidate for House Seat 61 in Tam pa but lost in the primary .. Thank you.

I did not receive a response to this email.. It appears that my final attempt at amendment was March 9, 2015 I filed several amendments on various reports that day because I had not received and analyzed my complete campaign bank statements until then The enor report attached to the February 19, 2015 letter states that two candidate loan repayment entlies were flagged as Incorrect Distributed Amount I am unsure as to the meaning of that en or. These entries (seq #15 and seq #28) reflect repayments of personal loans that I made to the campaign In an attempt to conect the errors, I referenced reports P6 and GI in the comment sections of these entries Report P6 reflects a $2000 loan I made to the campaign and report GI reflects a $1700 loan I made to the campaign. These loans

TI 047251.DOCX; I constitute the bulk of the amount that was being repaid by seq # 15 and #28 on the P7 report.

2014 GI - I made several amendments to this report as well in response to each notice that I received regruding enors or missing information. It appears that my final attempt at amendment was March 9, 2015 I filed several amendments on various reports that day because I had not received and analyzed my complete campaign bank statements until then .. The enor repmt attached to the February 19, 2015 letter states that seq #25 was flagged as Reimbursement without corresponding other distribution. I am unsUie as to the meaning of that error. However, after a review of my recmds it is apparent that this entry reflects Salary and is not a reimblllsement for, OI related to, supplies.

2014 TR- The email that was sent on February 24, 2015 was triggered by this report As stated in the email, I filed several amendments on various reports on March 9, 2015 because I had not received and analyzed my complete campaign bank statements until then .. Upon receipt, I reviewed my full bank statement and comprued it to my filed reports To the best of my ability, I updated the reports to address any discrepancies between the bank statement and the reports.. Please note, I changed campaign depositories in June 2013 from Suntrust Bank to Sabadell.. The statements that I have reviewed rue the Sabadell statements. I am feverishly attempting to gather the Suntrust statements Notwithstanding this fact, by looking at the filed reports one can see that I gave the campaign account personal money as late as September 2014.. This September 2014 transaction was to prevent the campaign account from being overdrawn In other words, there was/is no remaining balance. The email referenced throughout this letter reflects that fact

In conclusion, I hope that these explanations rue sufficient If not, please contact me via email ([email protected]), phone (8132216860), or mail (physical address above) As you can see, I take filing reports and responding to notices related thereto very seriously To the best of my recollection, I amended the reports in response to every notice that I received in an attempt to address the errors Thank you for your consideration
