DISCLAIMER / CONTRIBUTION TERMS (PLEASE READ)
Contributions are made to support Brandon Owen for Assembly (the “Committee”) and will be used in connection with California state elections and other lawful political purposes. Campaign contributions are not tax deductible as charitable contributions for federal or state income tax purposes.
Contribution Limits (California – 2025–2026 cycle).
California law limits contributions to candidates for State Assembly to $5,900 per contributor, per election for individuals, and $11,800 per election for businesses/entities/committees (political parties: no limit). Primary and General elections are treated as separate elections.
Any contribution that exceeds applicable limits may be refunded or reattributed as permitted by law.
Required Contributor Information / Reporting.
California law requires the Committee to collect and report contributor information. For contributions of $100 or more, the Committee must obtain and maintain the contributor’s name and address, and for individual contributors, occupation and employer information. If the Committee does not obtain required information within the timeframe required by law, the contribution may be returned.
Cash & Anonymous Contributions.
California law prohibits the Committee from accepting cash contributions of $100 or more from a single source.
Anonymous contributions of $100 or more are prohibited and, if received, must be handled as required by law.
Eligibility / Source of Funds.
By donating, you certify that:
-
This contribution is made from your own funds and not from funds provided by another person for the purpose of making this contribution (no “straw donor”/laundered contributions).
-
You are making this contribution using a lawful payment method and not using another person’s name or payment instrument.
-
You are not a foreign national who is prohibited from making contributions in connection with any U.S. federal, state, or local election (including California elections).
-
If you are donating on behalf of a business entity or committee, you are authorized to do so.
Joint Accounts / Cardholder.
Contributions must be made using an account or card belonging to the donor(s). If you donate from a joint account, the Committee may report the contribution as coming from the account holder(s) consistent with California reporting rules unless you provide written instructions allocating the contribution among account holders as permitted by law.
Best Efforts & Compliance.
The Committee reserves the right to request additional information to confirm compliance with campaign finance laws, including verifying contributor identity and eligibility. The Committee may reject, refund, or return contributions that appear to be unlawful, exceed limits, lack required information, or otherwise create compliance concerns.
Recurring Contributions (If Selected).
If you select a recurring donation, you authorize the Committee (or its processor) to charge your payment method automatically at the selected frequency until you cancel. You may cancel future recurring contributions at any time using the cancellation link or instructions provided in your receipt, or by contacting the Committee.
Refund Policy.
Contributions are generally non-refundable, except as required to comply with applicable laws and regulations (e.g., excess contributions, prohibited source concerns, missing required information, or chargebacks/processing issues). Refunds, if issued, may be net of any non-recoverable processing fees where permitted.
Communications Consent (Optional).
By providing your phone number or email, you may receive campaign updates, donation receipts, and other messages from or on behalf of the Committee. Message and data rates may apply for SMS. Consent to receive messages is not a condition of purchase or donation. You may opt out at any time by following the instructions in the message.
