On June 29, 2015, the Florida Elections Commission received a sworn complaint alleging that Respondent violated Chapter 106, Florida Statutes. Commission staff investigated whether Respondent violated the following statute:

8. Complainant provided a printed copy of Respondent's webpage. It appears to contain a button from a video; however, Complainant did not include a copy of the video. The webpage states, "Raquel Regalado for Miami-Dade County Mayor." The disclaimer reads, "Paid and approved by Serving Miamians."

9. According to the Division of Elections website, Serving Miamians disclosed two expenditures on its 2015 M3 Report to "Ennovva, Inc." The information on the 2015 M3 Report revealed that the two expenditures occurred on March 10, 2015; one for $1500 for "Web Design" and one for $3580 for "Advertising Production." To review the printout of the expenditures from the 2015 M3 Report from the Division of Elections website, refer to Exhibit 4.

10. Respondent's attorney, Mr. Sanchez-Medina, filed a response on behalf of Respondent. He stated that Serving Miamians, ECO,

Mistakenly engaged Ennovva, Inc. (the Vendor) to design the website for www.raquelregalado .. com.... The Vendor has since returned the funds to Serving Miamians ... Ms. Regalado's [Respondent] campaign account has since paid the Vendor for the work performed, as well as an extra fee for changing the disclaimers on the video found on the Website, and removing all references to Serving Miamians, both on the Website and in the video.

Currently, the Website is offline and any visitors will find a message with states that the Website is under construction.

To review the written statement, refer to Exhibit 5 .. To review the refund check, refer to Exhibit 6 ..

12. According to Respondent, she did not become aware of the website until she received the letter from the Florida Elections Commission regarding the complaint. When asked if she reviewed the video before it was posted on the website, Respondent replied, "though I appear in the video, I had not reviewed the final product." Respondent also stated that she did not discuss the website with any of the officers or members of Serving Miamians. To review Respondent's affidavit, refer to Exhibit 11.

13. When asked what actions were taken to prevent visitors from accessing the website, Respondent replied, "The Website was not intended to be viewed by any visitors during the time the video was posted. Upon receipt of the letter from the Florida Elections Commission dated June 30, 2015, I contacted Ennova (sic), Inc. and demanded that the video and the website be taken offline immediately." To review Respondent's affidavit, refer to Exhibit 11.

14. According to Mr. Roland Sanchez-Medina, the ECO's chairman, the ECO did not pay for advertising. ML Sanchez-Medina stated that the ECO paid for the web design and the creation of one video.. He stated that the officers and members of the ECO did not discuss the website with Respondent. To review Mr. Sanchez-Medina's affidavit, refer to Exhibit 12.

15. When questioned about who reviewed and approved the website, Mr. Sanchez-Medina stated,

The Website had not been approved or reviewed. As referenced in the letter above, the website was in a period of initial construction and was not intended to go "live" at the time of posting of the video. The Website was not completed and no content was available on Website. To my knowledge, Ennovva, Inc. was in the process of testing the design and connectivity of the website at the time the video was erroneously uploaded.

To review Mr. Sanchez-Medina's affidavit, refer to Exhibit 12. To review the website, refer to Exhibit 3 ..

16. When asked why the ECO published the website, Mr. Sanchez-Medina stated,

Servicing Miamians was in the process of publishing a new website about Raquel Regalado in conformity with IRS rules and regulations.. Serving Miamians has been informing Miami-Dade County residents regarding Raquel Regalado and Tomas Regalado for five (5) years. The language included in the video requesting support for Ms. Regalado was simply a mistake, as the intent of the video was to educate Miami-Dade County regarding various issues. The video was immediately removed from the Website.

To review Mr .. Sanchez-Medina's affidavit, refer to Exhibit 12 .. To review the website, refer to Exhibit 3.

17. Invoices provided by Mr. Sanchez-Medina show that the video was filmed and edited on February 26, 2015, March 5, 2015 and March 6, 2015. The cost for the video was $3,580 .. 00 .. The invoice for the web design shows a cost of $3000; half due up front and half due at the completion of the website. To review the invoices, refer to Exhibit 13.

18.. Serving Miamians issued two checks on March 10, 2015; one for $3580 and one for $1500. On September 25, 2015, Ennovva, Inc .. issued a check to Serving Miamians for $5080.. (The Commission received the complaint on June 29, 2015.) To review copies of the

Inv002 (7 /08) 3

Page 4: FLORIDA ELECTIONS COMMISSION - TypePadincluded in the video requesting support for Ms. Regalado was simply a mistake, as the intent of the video was to educate Miami-Dade County regarding

checks, refer to Exhibit 7.

19. Mr. Sanchez-Medina also stated on his affidavit that Ms. Amelie Ferro was responsible for the verbiage on the website. I called Ms. Ferro to query about whether Respondent assisted with the development of the website. During a telephone interview, she stated that she preferred for me to send her my questions in writing via email. I emailed the questions to Ms. Ferro: however, she did not respond. To review my email to Ms. Ferro, refer to Exhibit 14.

20. I requested that Respondent's attorney provide copies of the checks issued from Respondent's campaign to Ennovva, Inc. (the vendor); however, the checks were never provided. I subpoenaed bank records from the bank listed on Respondent's DS-DE 9, City National Bank; however, the bank stated that they could not find an account in Respondent's name.

21. I subpoenaed the ECO's bank records. The bank records confirmed that the ECO issued the checks to Ennovva, Inc. on March 10, 2015. Ennovva, Inc. issued a refund check to the ECO on September 25, 2015. To review the bank records, refer to Exhibit 15.

22.. No record of Respondent having previously violated this section of the election laws was found.

III. FEC History:

23.. Respondent was named in FEC 12-041 that alleged a violation of Section 106.07(5), Florida Statutes. Respondent entered a pre-probable cause consent order and paid a $2,000 fine on March 9, 2012. Respondent was also named in FEC 12-087; however, it was deemed legally insufficient

Conclusion:

24. On June 16, 2016, I interviewed Mr. Montiel, Respondent's attorney, by telephone. He stated that the entire thing was a "mix-up" because the vendor really didn't understand the election process. He stated that Ennovva (vendor) didn't realize that the ECO and the candidate had different rules and restrictions. He added that Ennovva told them that they were using the website as a test site. He stated that they (the ECO) were not aware of the test site. He added that they were not aware that the website was "live" until they received the notification from the Florida Election Commission. He stated that the invoice shows that half of the cost is required up front and the remaining balance is due upon completion; the ECO never paid the remaining balance because it was their understanding that the website was incomplete.

25. Respondent's filing officer is the Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections. According to the Affidavit of Filing Officer, Respondent was not a first-time candidate. According to the affidavit, Respondent was initially elected to the County School Board, District 6, in 2010. In 2014, she was unopposed. The filing officer stated that Respondent received copies of Chapters 104 and 106, Florida Statutes, and the 2016 Candidate and Campaign Treasurer Handbook. To review the Affidavit of Filing Officer, refer to Exhibit 16.

26. Respondent acknowledged receiving copies of Chapter 106, Florida Statutes and the Candidate and Campaign Treasurer Handbook. She stated that she served as treasurer for Tomas Regalado's mayoral campaign in 2008.. When asked what actions she had taken to determine her responsibilities under Florida's election law, Respondent stated, "I am a constitutionally elected official." To review Respondent's affidavit, refer to Exhibit 11.

27. On March 9, 2015, Respondent filed the Statement Candidate form certifying that

RAQUEL REGALADO'S RESPONSE TO THE FEC LETTER

Serving Miamians, an Electioneering Communications Organization ("ECO") mistakenly engaged Ennovva, Inc (the "Vendor") to design the website for :xvww"rfill.uelregalado"!,:_Qm (the "Website"). Serving Miamians contacted the Vendor regarding this error in order to take steps to correct the error. The Vendor has since returned the funds to Serving Miarnians. The refund will be reflected in the September ECO report and will be provided to the FEC Furthermore, Ms. Regalado' s campaign account has since paid the Vendor for the work performed, as well as an extra fee for changing the disclaimers on the video found on the Website, and removing all references to Serving Miamians, both on the Website and in the video. 11lis will also be reflected in Ms. Regalado' s September campaign report which will be provided to the FEC when it is due on October 10, 2015. Some of the confusion in connection with the error was likely caused by the fact that Serving Miamians intended to engage the Vendor to create videos which are in furtherance of its purpose as an ECO.

The Website, although "live" on March 9, 2015, was never fully completed by the Vendor. In fact, the Vendor's bill for the creation of the Website indicates that the Website was still currently under construction at the time it went "live". As such, it was never the intention of Serving Miamians, nor Ms. Regalado, for the Website to be accessed by visitors, nor to serve as a campaign advertisement for Ms. Regalado's campaign.. The Website was simply a "landing page" as opposed to an advertised or marketed website.

Currently, the Website is offline and any visitors will find a message which states that the Website is under construction. The video which was previously featured on the Website is no longer accessible. Please see the screenshot of the Website attached hereto ..

As referenced above, Serving Miamians intends to continue to engage the Vendor for the creation of additional videos which fully comply with Florida law Despite Serving Miamians' unintentional mistake described above, moving forward Serving Miamians will continue to exist as an ECO. As the mistake has been corrected, Serving Miamians does not need to, and will not, register as a Political Committee. All acts undertaken by Serving Miamians in the future will be fully in accordance with its purpose as an ECO, in accordance with Florida law.

Re: FEC 15-372

Dear Ms. Wade:

(

May 31, 2016

This office represents Ms. Raquel Regalado .. Please find attached the affidavits requested in connection with the above-referenced matter.

In addition to the attached affidavits, it is important to clarify a number of items. The website described in the affidavits, www.raquelregalado.com (the "Website"), was simply a "landing" website. In other words, there was no content available to be viewed on this website. During the time that the video referenced in the affidavits was erroneously uploaded to the Website, the Website was currently under construction and not a finished product.

The contract between Serving Miamians and Ennova, Inc., attached hereto, references payment in the amount of 50% of the invoice upon execution of the contract, and 50% payment upon completion of the Website. At the time the video was posted, the final 50% had not been paid, as work on the Website was still ongoing. Neither Ms. Regalado nor Serving Miamians had been advertising the Website .. In fact, it was not intended that the Website be viewed by any visitors at the time the video was posted.

If you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at 305..377.1000. Thank you for your time and attention ..
