Findings

Context Gifts and meals · the statement

Listed $2,850 in meals, travel or seminars from 1 source

The statement lists 1 item; the largest source is George Mason University ($2,850). These are the kinds of gifts the F-1 asks for: meals over $100, and travel or seminar costs paid by an organization, which the $100 gift limit doesn't cover.

What to check
  • Who the sources are, and whether any has business before the official's agency or body.
  • For state officials: whether a source also appears on lobbyist reports.
