Section 3: Alleged Violations
Section(s) of the MCFA violated: Sec. 169.233.33,11
Explain how those sections were violated:
Candidate for Kent County Commission in the 19th district Laurel Abraham has been using campaign literature
which reads "paid for by Committee to Elect Laurel Abraham" while knocking doors in the district. She poses
with this campaign literature in a picture posted on her campaign Facebook page on July 31, 2018. However,
campaign literature is not listed as an expenditure (itemized or in-kind) on her pre-primary campaign finance
report filed July 25, 2018. Abraham also has several campaign t-shirts, a campaign banner, and a campaign car
sticker. These items were clearly on display when she and her campaign team marched in the East Grand Rapids
fourth of July Parade. Abraham posted pictures of these items on her campaign Facebook page on July 4, 2018.
Like her literature, none of these items have been reported as expenditures on her pre-primary campaign finance
report filed July 25, 2018. Thus, her campaign literature, campaign t-shirts, a campaign banner, and a campaign
car sticker are knowingly omitted expenditures. It is likely that these items amount to over $500 of unreported
expenditures. This is a clear violation of the MCFA, specifically Sec. 169.233.33,11 (Per legislature.mi.gov
"If a candidate, treasurer, or other individual designated as responsible for a committee's record keeping, report
preparation, or report filing knowingly omits or underreports individual contributions or individual expenditures
required to be disclosed by this act, that individual is subject to a civil fine of not more than $1,000.00 or the
amount of the contributions and expenditures omitted or underreported, whichever is greater").
Evidence that supports those allegations (attach copies of pertinent documents and other information): Each piece of evidence is numbered in black marker.
1. A piece of campaign literature signed by Laurel Abraham which includes "Paid for by CTE Laurel
Abraham."
2. Candidate Laurel Abraham posing in a picture posted on her campaign Facebook page
(https://www.facebook.com/ AbrahamforCommission/) on July 31, 2018, holding her campaign literature.
3. Candidate Laurel Abraham and her campaign posing in a picture posted on her campaign Facebook page
on July 4, 2018, with a campaign banner while her campaign team is dressed in campaign t-shirts in
front of a red convertible at the end of the East Grand Rapids July 4 Parade.
4. Members of Abraham's campaign team sit in the aforementioned red convertible and pose for a picture
with a campaign magnetic car sticker. This picture from the East Grand Rapids July 4 Parade was posted on Abraham's campaign Facebook page on July 4, 2018.
5. Candidate Laurel Abraham's pre-primary campaign finance report signed by Abraham on July 25, 2018,
publicly available on the Kent County website (https://www.accesskent.com/CFPublic/search.action). As this is
Abraham's only campaign finance report to date (with the exception of her statement of organization),
all campaign expenditures to date must be listed on this report. This document does not report campaign
literature, campaign t-shitts, a campaign banner, or a campaign car sticker as expenditures though
Abraham clearly had all of them before the July 20, 2018, close of books.
6. Candidate Laurel Abraham in a picture posted on the Kent County Republican Party Twitter page on
June 28, 2018, with two pieces of campaign literature sitting a table in front of her during a fundraiser
on June 28.
7. A screenshot of the Kent County Republican Patty Twitter post to authenticate the June 28, 2018,
timestamp.

Re: Lynn v. Abraham Campaign Finance Complaint No. 2018-08-61-33
Dear Ms. Abraham:
August 14, 2018
The Department of State (Department) received a formal complaint filed by Frank Lynn against you alleging that you violated the Michigan Campaign Finance Act (MCFA or Act), 1976 PA 388, MCL 169.201 et seq. The investigation and resolution of this complaint is governed by section 15 of the Act and the co1Tesponding administrative rules, R 169.51 et seq. A copy of the complaint and supporting documentation is enclosed with this letter.
The MCFA requires candidates and committees file contributions and expenditures with the appropriate filing official by specific dates. MCL 169.233(1)-(3). The MCFA requires a committee that receives or expends more than $1,000 during any election to file campaign finance reports in compliance with the Act. MCL 169.233(6). A person who knowingly omits or unde1Teports expenditures required to be disclosed by the Act is subject to a civil fine of not more than $1,000 or the amount of the expenditures omitted or underreported, whichever is greater. MCL 169.233(11).
Mr. Lynn alleges that your committee has used campaign literature that contains the paid for by statement "Paid for by Committee to Elect Laurel Abraham" but the committee has failed to disclose any such expenditures in the pre-p1imary finance repoti.
The purpose of this letter is to inform you of the Department's examination of these matters and your right to respond to the allegations before the Department proceeds fmiher. It is important to understand that the Depmiment is neither making this complaint nor accepting the allegations as true.

Austin Building, 1st Floor, 430 West Allegan Street, Lansing, Michigan 48918. If you fail to submit a response, the Department will render a decision based on the evidence furnished by the complainant.

Re: Lynn v. Abraham
DEPARTMENT OF STATE LANSING
November 27, 2018
Campaign Finance Complaint No. 2018-08-61-33
Dear Ms. Abraham:
The Depa1tment of State (Depa1tment) has concluded its investigation on the fmmal complaint filed by Frank Lynn against you alleging that you violated the Michigan Campaign Finance Act (MCFA or Act), 1976 PA 388, MCL 169.201 et seq. This letter concerns the disposition of the complaint.
Mr. Lynn filed his complaint on August 9, 2018 and alleged your committee used campaign literature that contains the paid for by statement "Paid for by Committee to Elect Laurel Abraham" but the committee has failed to disclose any such expenditures in the pre-primary finance report. Specifically, Mr. Lynn alleged that campaign literature, t-shi1ts, banners, and car stickers were knowingly omitted and were more than $500. As evidence, Mr. Lynn provided copies and/or pictures of each of the campaign materials.
By letter dated August 28, 2019, you responded and indicated that the postcard, car sign, banner, and t-shi1ts were paid for after the July 17, 2018 close of books. You stated that your vendor did. not send the invoice and you did not pay the invoice until after July 17, 2018 and planned to file the expenditure on your post-primary repmt. As evidence, you provided copies of three invoices each of which is dated after July 17, 2018. Mr. Lynn elected not to file a rebuttal.
The MCFA requires candidates and committees file contiibutions and expenditures with the approp1iate filing official by specific dates. MCL 169.233(1)- (3). The MCFA requires a committee that receives or expends more than $1,000 during any election to file campaign finance repo1ts in compliance with the Act. MCL 169.233(6). A person who knowingly omits or underrepo1ts expenditures required to be disclosed by the Act is subject to a civil fine of not more than $1,000 or the amount of the expenditures omitted or unde1Tep01ted, whichever is greater. MCL 169.233(11).
The Depaitment has reviewed all the evidence submitted by the patties and the repo1ts available tlu·ough the Kent County Clerk's Office and dete1mines that there is insufficient evidence to suppott a finding that a potential violation of the MCFA has occurred. Mr. Lynn alleges that you

Laurel Abraham November 27, 2018 Page 2
did not file rep01is timely, but based upon the deadlines established in the Act, the rep01iing had ended prior to the invoices being sent for two of the invoices. For the August 7, 20 I 8 primary, the closing date was July 22, 2018 and statements were due by July 27, 2018. Two of the three invoices were dated after these dates. The third invoice was dated for July 18, 2018. However, the evidence shows that all invoices were paid after July 27, 2018. The date of payment is the date that is to be repo1ied on the expenditure report. Because each of the three invoices was paid after July 27, 2018, they are required to be disclosed on the Post-Election Rep01i. Upon review of your Post-Election rep01i, the rep01i contains expenditures that correspond with each invoice provided in your response. 1 Based upon this and absent evidence to the contrary, it does not appear that the rep01is have knowingly been misfiled or that expenditures have been omitted.
Therefore, the Depmiment finds that there is insufficient evidence to conclude that a violation of the MCFA has occurred. Accordingly, the complaint is dismissed, the Depmiment's file on the matter is closed, and no fmiher action will be taken.
c: Frank Lynn
Sincerely,
