STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOLLOWING INVESTIGATION

Pursuant to Section I 06 25( 4)( c ), Flotida Statutes, undersigned staff counsel files this written recommendation for disposition of the complaint in this case iecommending that there is probable cause to charge Respondent with violating Section 106.09(1)(a), Florida Statutes Based upon a thmough review of the Report of Investigation submitted on September 5, 2014, the following facts and law support this staff recommendation:

L On April 14, 2014, the Florida Elections Commission ("Commission") received a sworn complaint from TeIIy 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 violation:

Section 106.09(l)(a), Florida Statutes: Lisa McDermott, candidate for the Brevard County Commission, District 4, in the August 2014 election, appears to have made cash contributions to her own campaign in the aggregate in excess of the $50 per campaign limit, as alleged in the complaint .1

3.. Respondent was a candidate for the Brevard County Commission, District 4, in the 2014 primary election. Respondent filed her Appointment of Campaign Treasurer and Designation of Campaign Depository for Candidates form ("DS-DE 9") with the Brevard County Supervisor of Elections on November 8, 2012 (ROI Exhibit 1)2

4.. Respondent received a copy of the Chapter 106, Florida Statutes, and the 2014 Candidate and Campaign I reasurer Handbook ("Handbook'') 3 Respondent also testified in her August 15, 2014 affidavit that she reviewed the Handbook. (ROI Exhibit 6, page I; ROI Exhibit 4, pages I and 3)

5.. Complainant alleged that Respondent made excessive cash contributions to her

All references to the Florida Statutes are to Florida Statutes (2012)

3 The Handbook was published in November 2013.

campaign during the 2013 QI reporting period 4

6. Respondent filed her 01iginal 2013 QI Repo1t with the Brevaid County Supervisor of Elections (BCSOE) office on Ap1il 10, 2013 .. Respondent certified the report was true, conect, and complete .. On the report, Respondent listed making a $50 cash contribution to he1 campaign on Februaiy 22, 2013 (ROI Exhibit 2)

7 Respondent filed an amended 2013 QI Report with the BCSOE on July I, 2013 Respondent certified the repo1t was tme, conect, and complete. On het amended 2013 QI Report, Respondent listed a Febmaiy 15, 2013 $100 cash conttibution fiom he1self to he1 campaign, and a second Februaiy 22, 2013 $50 cash contribution from he1self to he1 campaign 5

(ROI Exhibit 3)

8.. Respondent claims that the Handbook states loans made by a candidate to he1 own campaign ate not subject to the candidate contribution limitations .. (ROI Exhibit 4, page 2) Howeve1, Section 106.08(1)(b), Floiida Statutes, provides that contribution limits in "this subsection" do not apply to contributions made by a candidate to her own campaign 6 Section I 06. 08(1 )(b ), Floiida Statues, does not exempt a candidate from contributing moie than $50 cash in the aggregate to her own campaign 7

9. "Probable Cause" is defined as reasonable g1ounds of suspicion suppo1ted by ci1cumstances sufficiently strong to waiiant a cautious person in the belief that the pe1son has committed the offense chaiged Schmitt v State, 590 So 2d 404, 409 (Fla 1991). Probable cause exists whe1e the facts and circumstances, of which an [investigato1] has reasonably tmstworthy information, aie sufficient in themselves for a reasonable man to 1each 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).

I 0 The facts above show that Respondent was a candidate fo1 the Brevaid County Commission, District 4, in the 2014 primary election. Respondent filed he1 01iginal 2013 QI Repmt on Ap1il 10, 2013, listing a Febmary 22, 2013 $50 cash cont1ibution f10m he1self to her campaign. On July I, 2013, Respondent filed an amended 2013 QI Repo1t, listing two additional cash contiibutions from herself to her campaign totaling $150 Howeve1, on her amended 2013 QI Repo1t, Respondent did not delete the Febmaiy 22, 2013 $50 cash contribution she listed on her 01iginal 2013 QI Report

4 The 2013 Q l repo1ting period covers the dates of Janua1y l, 2013 through March 31, 2013

Respondent did not delete or remove the Febrna1y 22, 2013 $50 cash contiibution listed on her original 2013 QI Report (ROI Exhibit 2, page 2; Exhibit 3, page 2) This information, in addition to Respondent's statement in August 15, 2014 affidavit, it appears Respondent gave her campaign a total of$200 in cash. (ROI Exhibit 4, page 2)

6 The term "this subsection" refers to the contribution limits in Section !06.08(l)(a), Florida Statutes

7 On page 23 of the Handbook it states in bold letters that the limitations on conttibutions listed in Section 106 08(J)(a), Florida Statutes, do not apply to candidates contributing to their own campaign. In contrast, on page 22 of the Handbook, it states that "An individual may not accept an aggregate cash contribution in excess of $50 per election " The Handbook does not state that there is an exception to the maximum amount of cash a candidate may contribute to he1 own campaign (Attachment A)

Staff Recommendation FEC 14~ 10 I 2

' I (

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

Count 1:

On or about February 15, 2013, Respondent violated Section 106 .. 09(I)(a), Florida Statutes, when she made a $100 cash contribution to her campaign
