Findings

Context Gifts and meals

Listed $3,000 in meals, travel or seminars from 2 sources

The statement lists 2 items; the largest source is NCJFCJ: National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges ($1,500). 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.
