November 3, 2020 Candidate Packet - Flipping Book Version

Statement of Economic Interests All candidates for elective office are required to file a Statement of Economic Interests Form 700 no later than the final filing date of the Declaration of Candidacy, to disclose their investments, their interests in real property, and any income received during the immediately preceding 12 months. Form 700 provides transparency and ensures accountability in two ways: 1. It provides necessary information to the public about an official’s personal financial interests to ensure that officials are making decisions in the best interest of the public and not enhancing their personal finances. 2. It serves as a reminder to the public official or potential conflicts of interest so that the official can abstain from making or participating in governmental decisions that are deemed conflicts of interests. REQUIRED DOCUMENT TO BE FILED WITH ALL OTHER NOMINATION DOCUMENTS: The Office of the Registrar of Voters is the filing officer for Statements of Economic Interests in conjunction with candidacy for specified elective offices only. Assuming Office statements, Annual statements, and Leaving Office statements are filed with the filing officer of the applicable jurisdiction. This document must be filed with all other nomination documents during the nomination period. If a candidate is uncertain of his/her filings they should contact their local filing officer or complete a new form marking the candidate statement box, which will satisfy the candidate’s requirements for running for office. Candidates with detailed questions regarding the Statement of Economic Interests Form 700 should contact the Fair Political Practices Commission at (916) 322-5660 or (866) ASK-FPPC (275-3772).
