AMENDED STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOLLOWING INVESTIGATION

Pursuant to Section 10625(4)(c), Florida Statutes, undersigned staff counsel files this written recommendation for disposition of the complaint in this case recommending that there is probable cause to charge Respondent with violating Sections 106.07(5) and 106 . .19(l)(c), Florida Statutes, and no probable cause to charge Respondent with violating Section 106.25(1)(b), Florida Statutes. Based upon a thorough review of the Report of Investigation submitted on September 5, 2014 and the Addendum to Report of Investigations submitted on December 19, 2014, the following facts and law support this staff recommendation:

1 On April 15, 2014, the Florida Elections Commission ("Commission") received a sworn complaint from I eny I ears ("Complainant") alleging that Lisa McDermott ("Respondent") violated Chapter 106, Florida Statutes ..

2 On or about June 5, 2014, the Executive Director sent notification to Respondent that Commission staff would investigate the following violations:

Section 106 .. 025(l)(b), Florida Statues: Lisa McDermott, candidate for the Brevard County Commission, District 4, in the August 2014 election, may have improperly received contributions and made expenditures relating to a campaign fond raising event, as alleged in the complaint

Section 106 .. 07(5), Florida Statues: Lisa McDermott, candidate for the Brevard County Commission, District 4, in the August 2014 election, certified that her 2013 Q3 Report was true, correct, and complete when it was not, as alleged in the complaint

Respondent filed her Appointment of Campaign Treasurer and Designation of Campaign Depository for Candidates form ("OS-DE 9") with the Brevard County Supervisor of Elections on November 8, 2012 (ROI Exhibit 1)1

1 The Report of Investigation will be referred to herein as "ROI"

4 Respondent received a copy of the Chapter 106, Florida Statutes, and the 2014 Candidate and Campaign Treasurer Handbook ("Handbook"). Respondent stated in her August 15, 2014 affidavit that she possesses and has read the Handbook (ROI Exhibit 6, page 1 and ROI Exhibit 4, page 1)

5 Respondent withdrew her candidacy on June 12, 2014 (Attachment A)

6 A hearing to determine probable cause in this case was scheduled before the Commission on October 29, 2014 dming the confidential portion of the meeting.. However, Respondent previously waived confidentiality Therefore, the Commission continued the hearing to its February 2015 meeting so the matter could be heard during the public portion of the meeting (Attachment B)

Sections 106.025(1)(b), Florida Statutes

7.. Complainant alleged that Respondent improperly received contributions and made expenditures during a campaign fundraiser by holding a raffle in which people paid cash for a ticket and received gift cards as prizes

8 Investigator Smith attempted to speak with Complainant by telephone on June 30, 2014, to get more information about Complainant's allegation He left a voice message asking Complainant to return the call which Complainant failed to do (Attachment C, Phone Log Entry 1)

9 On September 2, 2014, Investigator Smith spoke with Respondent by telephone Respondent told Investigator Smith that she gave the gift cards to campaign volunteers as a way of expressing her thanks for help with Respondent's participation in two parades, setting up a booth and distributing campaign literature while walking around a local farmer's market (Attachment C, Phone Log Entry 5)

10.. Other than Complainant's allegation, there was no evidence discovered dming the investigation that Respondent improperly held a raffle at a campaign event 2

Section 106.07(5) and 106.19(l)(c), Florida Statutes

11 Complainant also alleged that the descriptions Respondent listed for in-kind contributions on her 2013 Q3 Report were incomplete

12 Respondent filed her original 2013 Q3 Report with the Brevard County Supervisor of Elections on October 3, 2013 Respondent certified the report was true, correct, and complete (Attachment D) Respondent's descriptions of the gift cards and other gift items given to her campaign as in-kind contributions on her 2013 Q3 Report were incomplete Respondent did not list the actual items that her campaign received .. Some vendors contributed multiple gift cards in smaller denominations, but Respondent only reported the aggregate amount of the vendor's in-kind contribution. (ROI Exhibit 3, Attachment C, Phone Log Entry 8)

2 Chapter 106, Florida Statutes, does not appear to prohibit a raffle at a campaign event

16 On December 3, 2014, Investigator Smith sent Respondent an email confirming their telephone discussion from ear lier that day during which Respondent agreed to provide contact info1mation for some of the contributors and campaign volunteers who received a gift card or other "thank you" item (Attaclunent E)4

17.. The next time Investigator Smith spoke with Respondent was on December 19, 2014 The only volunteer contact information Respondent provided was for a person named "Jim" Respondent told Investigator Smith a second recipient was out of town as were most people she tried to contact (Attachment C, Phone Log Entry 24)

18. Investigator Smith attempted to contract "Jim." When the phone call went to voice mail, Investigator Smith recognized Respondent's voice on the message requesting the caller to leave a message for "James .. " (Attachment C, Phone Log Entry 25)5

19 Despite multiple attempts to obtain contact information for volunteers that received at least one "thank you'' item, except for "Jim" who appears to be Respondent's husband, Respondent chose not to provide Investigator Smith with the information she promised.

20. Based upon the info1mation above, it appears that Respondent may have certified her 2013 Q3 Report as true, conect, and complete when it was not It also appears that Respondent may have falsely reported or deliberately failed to include information required to be repo1ted by Chapter 106 19(1)(c), Florida Statutes ..

21 . "Probable Cause" is defined as reasonable grounds of suspicion supported by circumstances sufficiently strong to wa11ant 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 trnstworthy information, 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 So .. 2d 305, 309 (Fla. 1st DCA 1995).

22 The facts above show that Respondent was a candidate for the Brevard County Commission, District 4, in the 2014 primary election Respondent withdrew her candidacy on June 12, 2014 Staffs investigation did not reveal that Respondent improperly received contributions or made expenditures relating to a campaign fond raising event by holding a raffle where people had to pay cash for tickets and the prizes were gift cards

23 The facts above also show that Respondent certified that her 2013 Q3 Report was trne, conect, and complete when it was not Respondent provided insufficient and incomplete information on her 2013 Q3 Report for the description of in-kind contribution gift items Respondent claimed she planned to give the gift cards and other gift items to people who volunteered and helped her campaign as a "thank you" Moreover, after agreeing to provide staff

1 After sending the email to Respondent requesting the contact information, Investigator Smith made 4 additional attempts to communicate with Respondent between December 3, 2014 and December 19, 2014 to obtain the requested information from Respondent (ROI Attachment B, Phone Log Entries IO, I I, 18, and 2!)

5 Respondent's husband's name is James McDermott.

_ Amended Staff Rc_cQmmcndation f:E~_ 14-105 4

( with contact info1mation fo1 some volunteers who received a gift item, Respondent failed to provide the info1mation promised.. As such, staff was not able to verify that the gift items were, in fact, given to Respondent's campaign volunteers. Therefore, Respondent either falsely reported or deliberately failed to include information required to be repo1ted by Chapter 106 .. 19( 1 )( c ), Florida Statutes ..

Based on the foregoing, I recommend the Commission find there is probable cause to charge Respondent with committing the following violations:

Count 1:

On or about October 10, 2013, Respondent violated Section 106.07(5), Florida Statutes, when Respondent certified her 2013 Q3 Repo1t was true, conect, and complete when it was not

Count2:

On or about Octobe1 10, 2013, Respondent violated Section 106 . .19(l)(c), Florida Statutes, when Respondent falsely repo1ted 01 deliberately failed to include info1mation required to be repo1ted by Chapter 106, Florida Statutes, on her 2013 Q3 Report

I farther recommend that the Commission find no probable cause that Respondent violated Section 106 25(1 )(b ), Florida Statutes.

5.. Date and time: 09/02/14@ 11:34 a.m. Name: Respondent Phone#: Called me Summary: Respondent retUined my call from earlier.. I brought it to her attention that I had reviewed her completed questionnaire-affidavit but that I had a few additional questions

Specifically, Respondent was advised that within her 2013 Q3 campaign report, she reported a number of entries with very vague, basic descriptions relative to certain in-kind contributions Furthermore, I reminded her that she answered each question with the following, "They were given to me from various places to give out to my campaign volU11teers"

When asked to explain, she said that basically the in-kind contributions were given to her campaign volunteers as a way of expressing her thanks to everyone who helped her with the campaign She explained a circumstance where she was involved in two separate parades and she had some volunteers who assisted her by setting-up for the parade while other volunteers walked with her in the parades. She spoke of another circumstance where she had a booth set-up at a local farmer's market and volU11teers assisted her by helping set-up the booth while other volunteers distributed campaign literature by hand to people walking around the farmer's market

When asked about the lack of reporting information, she said she was unsure how much more information she could have added, explaining for instance, that "pizza" was from a pizza parlor, she didn't know what else to add Memo to File? No Entered by: KS

I advised her that the case(s) was noticed as a "closed case" but since she had waived confidentiality, it should have been noticed as a public case I explained to her that it was a matter of procedure-that the case(s) could not be heard in the closed po1tion of the meeting since she had waived confidentiality Respondent inquired as to whether the case(s) could "be done away with" Not unde1standing exactly what she meant, I asked her to explain.. She said that this has been ''drngging on" since April (2014) and now it has been postponed until early next yea1 I advised Respondent that I was unaware of any case that was ''done away with" because the length of time to fully complete the investigation and ultimately, the outcome I advised her that if she folt strongly, perhaps she could write a letter expressing her displeasure and ask that the case( s) be dismissed..

Respondent was asked about the in-kind contributions from the various businesses and how it was that she came about acquiring the in-kind contributions According to Respondent, since she has her own business (Respondent and her husband own an icecream store), she has gotten to know a number of local business owners over the years .. She said that she visited the various businesses and spoke with either the owner or the manager of each business and asked them if they would be willing to help her with her campaign, since they were aware that she was running for the county commission She said that she advised each business owner what she had in mind-to use gift certificates to

be able to give to her volunteers as her way of saying thank you. She added that none of the businesses or their owners lived in her district, meaning that none of them could vote for her She said that she did not want to give the appearance that she was trying to buy their vote .. According to Respondent, most of the owners provided the value of the gift that was disclosed on her campaign report; others, she had to ask for the value Since her campaign report contained a number of in-kind contributions from various businesses, I addressed each entry with her separately

We discussed entry #75, disclosed as an in-kind contribution fiom "Beef O' Brady's" for the purpose of ''dinner gift card .. " She said that it was not a single gift card in the amount of $50 that was given to one person but rather multiple gift cards She added that she believed it to be that she handed-out a total of ten separate gift cards valued at $5 each She said that she believed she had spoken to the manager but did not know him personally

We also discussed entry #76, disclosed as an in-kind contribution from "Bean Shack Coffee" for the purpose of "coffee .. " Respondent said that the in-kind contribution was actually a gift basket consisting of a number of items-coffee beans, coffiee filters, coffeerelated items-that were all put in to a basket She said that she asked the owner and he said to place the value of the gift basket at $100 When asked, she said that she personally knows the owner as he is the one who roasts her coffee for her

We also discussed entry #77, disclosed as an in-kind contribution from "CH Wine International" for the purpose of "wine" Respondent said that she spoke to the owner, who she knows personally, and he agreed to give her a case of wine and he valued it at $340 She said that she handed-out a bottle of wine to different volunteers and not a whole case of wine to any one person

We also discussed entry #78, disclosed as an in-kind contribution from "Lisa Scott's Cleaning" for the purpose of "cleaning business " Respondent said that the in-kind contribution was for two separate gift certificates, which she believed to be $50 each, and was given to a couple of volunteers She said that the owner valued the total at $100

We also discussed entry #79, disclosed as an in-kind contribution fiom "Michellis Pizzeria" for the purpose of ''pizza" Respondent said that she received four gift certificates valued at $10 each and she gave to multiple volunteers .. She said the owner, who she personally knows, gave her the in-kind contribution valued at $40.

We also discussed entry #80, disclosed as an in-kind contribution fiom "Applebee's" for the purpose of"gift card." Respondent said that she spoke to the manager and he gave her campaign multiple gift caids and told her to value the total at $40 She said that to her recollection, the gift cards were in $5 increments, so she was able to distribute several cards as opposed to only handing out one gift card.. According to Respondent, the manager, Steve, no longer works for Applebee's and has moved out of the state

We also discussed entry #81, disclosed as an in-kind contribution from "Orchid Nails & Spa" for the purpose of "gift card " Respondent said that she personally knows the owner, as that is where she goes to have her own nails done She said that to her recollection, she handed-out five gift cards, at $5 each, for a total value of $25

We also discussed entry # 82, disclosed as an in-kind contribution from "Wave's Car Wash" for the purpose of"gift cards .. " Respondent said that the owner gave her gift cards totaling $250 She said that the gift cards were in various amounts and may have ranged from a basic car wash to detailing. She said that she distributed multiple gift cards and not one person got a single gift card in the amount of$250 ..

We also discussed entry #81, disclosed as an in-kind contribution from "A New Look Salon" for the purpose of "gift card " Respondent said that she distributed 10 gift cards valued at $15 each, not a single gift card in the amount of $150 When asked, she said that she personally knows the owner

We also discussed entJy #82, disclosed as an in-kind contribution from ''Tire Kingdom" for the purpose of "gift card" Respondent said that the manager, who she knows personally, provided her with the value of the gift card .. She said that she could not recall whether she handed-out two gift cards or four, but it was not one single gift card in the amount of $100

Finally, Respondent was asked about the last entry, an in-kind contribution from "Brevard Farmer's Market" for the purpose of "guitar" Respondent said that she approached the owner, who is a promoter, and asked what he could do for her campaign, as she knows him personally She said that he told her he could donate a guitar to the campaign, so she accepted and he valued it at $200

Respondent was asked about the method she used in determining which volunteer received gifts, whether a raffJe.-type event was held According to Respondent, at her discretion, she distributed thank-you gifts to volunteers based on how much they helped with her campaign For instance, if a volunteer only assisted one OJ two times by perhaps distributing campaign literature for her, the volunteer may have only received a $5 or $10 gift card The more a volunteer did, the more the volunteer received She said that volunteers, who may have done more than others, would have received a "mixed-bag" of gifts, for instance a gift card to one of the restaurants, plus a bottle of wine and maybe a gift card to the car wash

When asked, Respondent said that the guitar was given to her "light-hand man" as she did the most for her campaign.. According to Respondent, none of the people who volunteered for her campaign were in registered to vote in her district, as she didn't want to give the appearance that she was buying their vote

When asked, Respondent said that she did not maintain a list of names of the people who volunteered for her campaign According to Respondent, a large number of people volunteered to assist her with campaign Again, when asked, Respondent reiterated that most of the business owners/managers provided her with the value of their in-kind contributions; in some instances, she had to ask the owner/manager for the value Memo to File?

FLORIDA ELECTIONS COMMISSION ADDENDUM TO REPORT OF INVESTIGATION

Case Numbel': FEC 14-105


Complainant: Terry Teal's

On September 5, 2014, the Florida Elections Commission staff completed a Report of Investigation on the case At its October 29, 2014, meeting, the members of the Florida Elections Commission dii ected the Commission staff to conduct further investigation of those facts relative to the Report of Investigation The additional investigation addressed the following:

Section 106 07(5), Florida Statutes, prohibiting a candidate fiom certifying to the correctness of a campaign treasurer's report that is incorrect, false, or incomplete; and

Section 106.025(1 )(b ), Florida Statutes, failure of a candidate to properly report all contributions received from a campaign fond raiser and all expenditures made for a fund raiser.

Alleged violations of Section 106.07(5) and 106.025(1)(b), Florida Statutes:

l. The members of the Florida Elections Commission expressed some concerns relative to the facts addressed in the Report of Investigation Specifically, the members of the Florida Elections Commission questioned the entries of certain in-kind contributions listed in Table 1 following paragraph #7 of the Report oflnvestigation.

2.. In a telephone interview on November 26, 2014, Respondent explained that since her and her husband own a business (Respondent and her husband own an ice-cream shop), over the past several years, she has become familiar with other business owners in the Melbourne area Respondent said that she approached the business owners and asked each owner if he/she would be willing to help out with her campaign by donating in-kind to her campaign Respondent said that she advised each business owner as to her intention-to use gift certificates from the various businesses to, in turn, give to her campaign volunteers as her way of thanking her volunteers

3 While reviewing the in-kind contributions with her, Respondent reported that although the campaign report disclosed an in-kind contribution for a total amount, one person would not have received the whole amount. For example, when alluding to the entry for "pizza" in the amount of$40, Respondent explained that one person was not given a $40 gift card, rather, there may have been a total of four gift cards, in the amount of $10 each, given to four people Respondent also alluded to an entry for "wine" in the amount of $340 She explained that not one volunteer received $340 worth of wine, rather, several volunteers may have received a bottle of wine, or in some cases, two bottles of wine, as the owner donated a case of wine to her

Inv003 (6/08) --- ~ . "' -"'

campaign.. She said that the same methodology applied to each entry with the exception being the entJy for "guitar "

4.. According to Respondent, the entry for "guitar" came about as the owner of the Brevard Farmer's Market is a promoter and as such, he had a guitar available Respondent said that when she asked him if he could donate anything in-kind to her campaign, he offered to donate a guitar, at which he valued at $200.

5.. Respondent was asked how she determined which volunteer received which item or items and whether it was dependent on a raffle or some similar event Respondent denied that she held at raffle-type event and said that it was solely at her discretion as to how she distributed the thank-you gifts to her volunteers She explained, for example, if a volunteer helped out one time by perhaps distributing campaign literature, he/she may have received only one gift card If a volunteer helped on several occasions, the volunteer may have received a "mixed-bag" of gifts-perhaps a gift card to a restaurant, a bottle of wine and a gift card for a car wash The more a person volunteered for the campaign, the more the volunteer received When asked, Respondent determined that her "right-hand man" would receive the guitar as she did the most volunteer w01k for her campaign

6.. Respondent added that none of the volunteers who received gifts from her, as her way of saying thank-you, actually lived in her district and were unable to vote for her.. She said that the same thing applied to the vendors She said that she did not want to give the appearance that she was buying their vote.

7 I was able to contact the owners of four businesses who made in-kind contributions to Respondent's campaign1

Iluee of the owners acknowledged that Respondent approached them and asked them whether they could offer something to the campaign in the way of an in-kind contribution; the owner of another business said he was aware that Respondent was seeking office and told her he would help her out in any way he could I wo of the owners stated that Respondent was a frequent customer to theh businesses and have known her for a number of years Three of the owners, when asked, were uncertain as to how Respondent plarmed to distribute the gift-cards; the owner of another business said that Respondent told him she planned to give the item away to a campaign volunteer

8 On December 3, 2014, I e-mailed Respondent wherein I asked her to provide me with the names of a few of the individuals who volunteered to assist with her campaign and who would have received gifts After several attempts to contact Respondent via telephone to secure the names of volunteers, Respondent returned my telephone call on December 19, 20142

9.. As part of our telephone conversation on December 19, 2014, Respondent was asked about contact information for volunteers who assisted with her campaign and who would have received a thank-you gift Respondent was only able to provide the contact information for one volunteer, who she referred to as "Jim "

1 I called and left messages for the owners/managers for three other businesses who contributed in-kind to Respondent's campaign; however, none of these calls were returned

2 I called and left messages for Respondent on December I 0, December 15 and December 17, 2014

13.. Two of the in-kind contribution desc1iptions Respondent listed were insufficient Respondent listed the description for Lisa Scott's Cleaning in-kind contribution as "cleaning business," and the description for Ice Cream Depot as "ice cream store."

14 While it appears that the in-kind contribution desc1iptions fiom Lisa Scott's Cleaning and the Ice Cieam Depot are incomplete, it does not appear that Respondent falsely reported, or deliberately failed to repo1t information required by Chapter I 06, Florida Statutes

15. "P1obable Cause" is defined as reasonable grounds of suspicion supported by circumstances sufficiently strong to wanant a cautious person in the belief that the pe1son has committed the offense charged. Schmitt v. State, 590 So. 2d 404, 409 (Fla. 1991}. Probable cause exists whe1e the facts and ci1cumstances, of which an [investigator] has reasonably trustworthy information, 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 So .. 2d 305, 309 (Fla. !st DCA 1995)

16 The facts above show that Respondent was a candidate for the Brevard County Commission, District 4, in the 2014 primary election .. Respondent withdrew her candidacy on June 12, 2014 Respondent stated she gave the gift cards to a campaign volunteers as a way of expressing her thanks for their help Staff's investigation did not find evidence that Respondent improperly received contiibutions 01 made expenditures relating to a campaign fond raising event by holding a raffle where people had to pay cash for tickets and the p1izes were gift cards .. Additionally, on he1 original 2013 Q3 Report Respondent listed 12 in-kind contributions. The description for two in-kind contributions are insufficient, but it does not appear Respondent falsely reported 01 deliberately failed to repo1t the prope1 desciiptions.

Based on the foregoing, I recommend the Commission dismiss the complaint in this case pursuant to Section 106 25(4)(j), Florida Statutes, because the public interest would not be served by proceeding forthe1 with this matte1 .

Lisa McDe1mott 2231 Canterbmy Lane Melbourne, FL 32935

RE: Case No.: FEC 14~105; Respondent: Lisa McDermott

Dear Ms McDe1mott:

On Ap1il 14, 2014, the Florida Elections Commission received a complaint alleging that you violated Florida's election laws I have reviewed the complaint and find that it contains one or more legally sufficient allegations.. The Commission staff will investigate the following alleged violations:

Section 106.025(l)(b), Florida Statues: Lisa McDe1mott, candidate for the Brevard County Commission, Distiict 4, in the August 2014 election, may have impropeiiy received contiibutions and made expenditures relating to a campaign fund raising event, as alleged in the complaint

Section 106.07(5), Florida Statues: Lisa McDermott, candidate fo1 the Brevard County Commission, District 4, in the August 2014 election, certified that her 2013 Q3 Report was true, correct, and complete when it was not, as alleged in the complaint

Section 106.19(l)(c), Florida Statutes: Lisa McDermott, candidate for the Brevard County Commission, District 4, in the August 2014 election, falsely 1eported or deliberately failed to include information in a campaign report required by Chapter I 06, Florida Statutes, as alleged in the complaint

You may respond to the allegations above by filing a notarized statement providing any information 1 egarding the facts and circumstances surrounding the allegations Your response will be included as an attachment to the investigator's repo1t

When we conclude the investigation, a copy of the Report of Investigation will be mailed to you at the above address.. You may file a response to the report within 14 days from the date the

· · · Como ff c10101r

report is mailed to you Based on the results of the investigation, legal staff will make a written recommendation to the Commission on whether there is probable cause to believe you have violated Chapter 104 or 106, Florida Statutes.. A copy of the Staff Recommendation will be mailed to you and you may file a response within 14 days from the date the recommendation is mailed to you. Your timely filed response(s) will be considered by the Commission when determining probable cause

The Commission will then hold a hearing to determine whether there is probable cause to believe you have violated Chapters 104 or 106, Florida Statutes You and the complainant will receive a notice of hearing at least 14 days before the hearing The notice of hearing will indicate the location, date, arrd time of your hearing You will have the opportunity to make a brief oral statement to the Commission, but you will not be permitted to testify 01 call others to testify, or introduce any documentary or other evidence

At any time before a probable cause finding, you may notify us in writing that you want to enter into negotiations directed towards reaching a settlement via consent agreement

The Report of Investigation, Staff Recommendation, and Notice of Hearing will be mailed to the above address as this letter. Therefore, if your address changes, you must notify this office of your new address. Otherwise, you may not receive these important documents. Failure to receive the documents will not delay the probable cause hearing ..

Under section 106.25, Florida Statutes, complaints, Commission investigations, investigative reports, and other documents relating to an alleged violation of Chapters I 04 and 106, Florida Statutes, are confidential until the Commission finds probable cause or no probable cause. The confidentiality provision does not apply to the person filing the complaint However, it does apply to you unless you waive confidentiality in writing The confidentiality provision does not preclude you from seeking legal counsel However, if you retain counsel, your attorney must file a notice of appearance with the Comrµission before any member of the Commission staff can discuss this case with him or her

If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Keith Smith, the investigator assigned to this case

3. ALLEGED VIOLATION(S):

Please list the provisions of The Florida Election Code that you believe the person nruned above may have violated, The Commission has jmisdiction only to investigation the following provisions: Chapter 104, Chapter 106, Section 98 .. 122, and Section 105 .. 071, Florida Statutes .. Also, please include:

./ The facts and actions that you believe support the violations you allege,

./ The names and telephone nUinbers of persons you believe may be witnesses to the facts,

./ A copy or pictUI·e of the political advertisements you mention in your statement,

./ A copy of the documents you mention in yom statement, and

./ Other evidence that supports yom allegations,

It is my belief that Ms. McDermott has violated the law in the following way. At an event that she held on 9128/2013, she held a

giveaway or raffle that required a cash contributionto her campaign for entry. You will see that on the Campaign Treasurer's Report in

question she collected 67 cash contribution, all in $5 increments Also. you will see that she collected as contributions the

following as in-kind: $100 in Coffee, $100 from a cleaning business with no justification, a $40 gift card from Applebees's,

FEC 002 (Rev 4-24-05) 000001

(

a $25 giftcard for Orchid Nails & Spa, $250 in giftcards from Waves Car Wash, a $150 giftcard from A New Look Salon,

a $100 giftcard from Tire Kingdom, and a guitar valued at $200 from the Brevard Farme~s Market I believe that these

were the prizes to be given out the following week at her event The prizes were collected on 9/20/2013 and the event

was on 9/28/2013 This amounts to running a sweepstakes or game of chance and is cleary a violation The campaign Treasurer's

Report is attached..
