Findings

Context Gifts and meals

Listed $1,250 in meals, travel or seminars from 5 sources

The statement lists 5 items; the largest source is Ryan & Katie Griffee ($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.
