Office of General Counsel Federal Election Commission 999 E Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20463 MUR# (^^13 Greetings:
I write to inform you of a series of serious federal campaign finance violations committed by Ruben Kihuen. Mr. Kihuen is a candidate for the Democratic party nomination in congressional district 4 in Nevada. (Federal Elections Commission Identification # 4 C00502773). 1 go through each of the apparent violations below.
April 25. 2015 Fundraiisiing event
On April 25, 2015, Mr. Kihuen held fundraiser at Tacos & Beer restaurant (a Nevada Limited Liability Corporation, see attachment 1). Mr. Kihuen sent out a number of tweets about the upcoming event, and posted information on Facebook. (See Attachment 2). Facebook photos show food, drinks, cake and even a waiter apparently circulating hore d'oeuvres. (See Attachment 3). It appears, that the event takes place in a separate room, possibly one that Tacos and Beer rents out. (Attachment 3).
Later on Facebook and Twitter, Mr. Kihuen bragged that "200+ people showed up on a rainy night to support our campaign..." (See Attachment. 3). Despite the fact that such a lavish event was held at a nice restaurant/bar, no expenses or in-kind contributions are recorded on Mr. Kihuen's campaign fmance report in relation to this event. And an event such as this certainly was staffed. According to his campaign finance reports, he has not paid any money to staff. I go into more detail below about the mystery regarding how Mr. Kihuen's campaign staff is being compensated.
From all of this information, the conclusion is inescapable that cither Mr. Kihuen failed to report expenses related to this event on his campaign finance report, or was given free use of a valuable event space, not to mention food and beverages. This amounts to an in- kind contribution to Mr. Kihuen's campaign that should have been reported. See 52 U.S.C. § 30101(8)(A)("'contribution' includes— (i)any gift, subscription, loan, advance, or deposit of money of anything of value made by any person for the purpose of influencing any election for Federal office.") This is bolstered by the fact that federal Jaw FEC Complaint-Kihuen October 15,2015 contains a very detailed exception for use of noncommercial community rooms and personal residences for political events. 52 U.S.C. § 30101(8)(b)(ii). This commercial premises clearly does not fall into the exception. Similarly, federal law provides for the provision of food and beverage at cost. 52 U.S.C. 30101(8)(b)(iii). But there is no expense of any kind so he could not have simply paid cost for the food and drinks.
In addition, because the entity apparently making the in-kind contribution was a corporation, this also violates the federal barring corporations from giving directly to congressional candidates. See 52 United States Code § 30118. It is a violation of law not to list this contribution, but also a violation of law to take this contribution in the first instance.
At a minimum Mr. Kihuen must amend his report, pay fair market value to this corporation, and be penalized as deemed appropriate by the Commission.
June 29.20:1.5 .Fiindrarsing event
Mr. Kihuen held a fundraiser at Embassy Nightclub on June 29, the same time and place the Latin Chamber of Commerce' held a mixer for its members. Mr. Kihuen promoted the event with his own invitation via Facebook and Embassy Nightclub promoted Mr. Kihuen's event and the Latin Chamber of Commerce event simultaneously. (See Attachment 5). Both Embassy Nightclub and Mr. Kihuen also promoted Mr. Kihuen attending the LCC event as well. Both invitations feature the same design elements as Embassy Nightclub's and Mr. Kihuen's own promotional material. (Attachment 5). And both events were at precisely the same time, date and place. For all intents and purposes, this appears to be one single event masquerading (barely) as separate events.
Of course, no expenses from this event appear on Mr. Kihuen's June 30 report. Further, the invitations indicated that the event was "hosted" by Alien Tequila and the Latin Chamber of Commerce. (Attachment 5). Alien Tequila is a Nevada limited liability corporation. (See Attacliment 6). The invitation also indicated that free drinks and hors d'oeuvres would be provided.
According to Mr. Kihuen's FEC report, there were no in-kind contributions made in relation to the event and he did not have any expenses. He reported receiving $9,100 on the day of the event, including $300 from Otto Merida, the Executive Director of the LCC. Most of these were probably attributable to this event.
As with Tacos and Beer, use of this space is an in-kind contribution. See 52 U.S.C. § 30101(8)(A). And again, federal law contains a limited exception for use of noncommercial community rooms and personal residences for political events. 52 U.S.C. § 30101(8)(b)(ii). This does not fall into that exception, and since no costs were reported
11 have been unable to determine what entity form the Latin Chamber of Commerce falls under. They do have an affiliated foundation that is a (c)(3) organization under Section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code. (See Attachment 4). However, while affiliated this entity appears to be a separate entity. 2 . FEC Complaint-Kihuen October 15, 2015 at all the provision that allows food and drink to be provided at cost is not implicated either. Mr. Kihuen must amend his report, pay fair market value to this corporation for the space, food and beverages, and be penalized as deemed appropriate by the Commission. Lastly, it is unclear if Embassy Nightclub is a corporation. If it is, the prohibition on corporate contributions applies. 52 United States Code § 30118.
Ironically, Mr. Kihuen's invitation states that it is "Paid for by Ruben Kihuen for Congress." (Attachment 5). But who did he pay? His campaign finance report does not tell us. The fancy artwork on his invitation is the same as that used by Embassy Nightclub, but he didii't pay them anything according to his report.
0.1!t"ice:SDacc
Mr. Kihuen did not report any in-kind donations or expenses in relation to office space. The only indication there is of a physical office space comes from his Facebook page, which identifies-his campaign headquarters as at the same 16cation.as The. Ramirez Group offices, where Mr. Kihuen is an.eniploy.ee?'. The Ramirez Group is a Nevada Coiporation. (Attachment 10)., His campaign; website lists a post ofBce box as his address. (See Attachment 11). But Mr. Kihuen is heavily engaged in a campaign for Congress. A post office box does not amount to office space. And of course there is no expense listed for this post office box on Mr. Kihuen's report. The public needs to know if he is running his campaign out of The Ramirez Group, and if so why he has not reported this.
Other Campaign .ExDCMditures
There are a number of additional serious omissions by Mr. Kihuen. In fact, he reported very few expenses. Certainly every candidate strives for low bum rates, but Mr. Kihuen's are ridiculous for a candidate who has raised over $214,000, as Mr. Kihuen has as of his most recent report.
Specifically, he has only reported a total of $4,153 in expenditures. And $3,638 was for credit card fees stemming from contributions he has received. The only remaining expenditure was a $515 expenditure for lodging on a fundraising trip.
The following are examples of apparent omissions of expenditures.
1. Gamoaigh Manager
Mr. Kihuen's Campaign Manager, David Chase, started working for Mr. Kihuen in May 2015 (See Attachment 12), but had not been paid as of June 30 and no balloon payment
2 Attachment 7 is the Facebook page for Mr. Kihuen's campaign. It indicates an address of 7"' St and Bonneviile in Las Vegas. Attachment 8 is from The Ramirez Group's website and It indicates that Mr. Kihuen remains employed there. Attachment 9 Is a page from The Ramirez Group's website indicating an address of 531 South ?"> Street in Las Vegas, which is 7"" St. and Bonneviile. FEC Complaint-Kihuen October 15,2015 was listed as debt on his report. If David Chase actually volunteered his services (as defined in the Federal Elections Contributions Act) than no balloon payment should be reported on Mr. Kihuen's third, quai'ter FEC filings. If a balloon payment is made, then RK should have reported the deferred salary as debt on his second quarter FEC report. See 52 U.S.C. § 30104(b)(2)(H) (requirement to list all loans on campaign finance reports); 52 U.S.C. § 3010.1(8)(A)(i) (contribution includes.."any gift, subscription, loan, advance, or deposit of money or anything. of value made by any person for the purpose, of influencing any election for Federal office.
Clearly anyone can volunteer his or her services. But given Mr. Kihuen's pattern of not properly reporting campaign expenditures, we need to know whether Mr. Chase is an actual volunteer.
2. Other Campaign Staflv
Mr. Kihuen's Call Time Manager Sam Rivers started working for Mr. Kihuen in early June 2015, but had not been paid as of June 30 and no balloon payment was listed as debt on his report. (See Attachment 13). In addition, Attachment 13, a tweet from Tom Moore, whose Maryland county commission race Mr. Rivers ran, indicated that Mr. Rivers was driving all the way out from, the east coast to take that position. That is a long way tq drive for a volunteer position. All of the same questions applyrto Mr. Rivers as apply to Mr. Chase regarding whether he is an actual volunteer or whether Mr. Kihuen failed to list expenditures for his salary.
3. Cross country travel
Mr. Kihuen took at least two trips to Washington, D.C. in the reporting period for which heinelucled little to no expenses. Apparently Mr. Kihuen was in Washington D.C. on May 5, 2015 (See Attachment .14). and ithen again on June 15-16, 2015. In faet, a.major budget vote was delayed when Mr. Kihuen went to DC in May.
Mr. Kihuen had two fundraising events on June 15. One was hosted by Xavier Becerra, and the other was hosted by the Hispanic Lobbyists Association. (See Attachment 15).
Mr. Kihuen did not report any airfare on either of these trips. His only lodging was the $515 lodging expense listed on his report as an in-kind contribution from himself to his campaign.
4. Facebook ads-
Mr. Kihuen ran. Facebook ads to raise money the last week-of the quarter (approxipiately June 26-June 30). No expense or debt was reported for-these ads. (See Attdchnrierit 16).
5. Kihuen website page savs it is Paid for By ActBlue
4 FEC Complaint-Kihuen October 15,2015
When one signs up to receive Mr. Kihuen's emails, one is directed to a solicitation to contribute money. The problem is, it is unclear where that money is going. While Mr. Kihuen's congressional campaign banner appears on top, below it states that it is "Paid for by ActBlue and not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee." (Attachment 17). Clearly this is not accurate—^the page is a solicitation off o f Mr. Kihuen's main page. And federal law r^uires that campaign material be clearly and accurately marked to show who is paying for any particular item.
Expenses for congressional campaign in 2011
There remain unanswered questions from Ruben Kihuen's first aborted run for Congress, fi In August and September of 2011, Mr. Kihuen made payments totaling $4,745 to Daniel 0 Chavez. A total of three payments were made—one for $1,500 on August 16,2011, and 4 another for $2,245 on September 20 of that year, and $1,000 on October 17, 2011. 4 (Attachment 18).
These payments came right about the time Mr. Kihuen was declaring his run for Congress, which he did on September 1,201.1 and near the time Chavez became his congressional campaign manager". In addition, despite..having .moved Mr. Chavez Over to his Congressional campaign as demonstrated by. his October 5,261.1 paymenl to Chavez for "Payroll", Kihuen made the third payment, this time of $1,000 to Chavez from his Nevada State Senate campaign account.
The timing of these expenditures beg the question of whether Mr. Kihuen simply paid Mr. Chavez for services that were actually reiidered for his congressional campaign out of his state Senate account. At the time of the payments from his state account to Mr. Chavez, Mr. Kihuen had only recently finished his legislative session and was not running for re-election as a State Senator (he would not be up for re-election until 2014 in the Nevada Senate). Due to the Nevada Legislature's part-time schedule, legislators do not typically keep staff on payroll outside of legislative session or election season.
At a minimum, the Commission needs to demand a satisfactory answer to what Mr. Chavez could have possibly been doing to earn nearly $5,000 from Mr. Kihuen in terms of work on Mr. Kihuen's state Senate campaign, three years before that election, as opposed to actually working on Kihuen's congressional campaign, which would have, required significant resources and attention at that time. Federal law prohibits transfers of funds from state accounts to federal accounts. 11 Code of Federal Regulations Section 110.3(d).
It is also worth noting that excluding the three payments he received in August, Septera ber juid October 2011, Mr. Chavez was never employed by, or paid from, Mr. Kihuenis State Senate campaign account either before or after that time period.
^Attachment 19. * The La.s Vegas Review Sun identified Chavez as Kihuen's congressional campaign manager on September 27,2011 (Attachment 20). FEC Complaint-Kihuen October 15,20IS
Furthermore, Mr. Chavez lists his employment as the Campaign Manager for Ruben Kihuen for Congress as starting in July 2011 and ending in February 2012 on his Linkedin account. (Attachment 21).
ConclusiQn
The public is ehtitled to know how c^didates for Congress are spending the money that has been con.t.ribuied. to them. In Mr.:Ki.huen's case, we simply have no idea about the specifics oF His campaign in terms-.of contributions and expenditures. .The law requires that Mr. Kihuen provide tliis .infOrihation. I respectfUlly je.quest.that youjakeateps-to. make Mr; Kihuen file accurate campaign finance reports, and. that yOti penalize him. appropriately for his failure to do so. Very truly yours,
