Findings
Worth a look Lobbying · the statement
EdChoice reported $1,636 in transportation, lodging or hospitality to them in 2025; the statement doesn't list it
EdChoice's lobbying expense reports name this official as receiving payment ($1,636, 2025-10-12). Principals name an official once their gifts reach $250 in a year, or hospitality passes $650 (65 Pa.C.S. § 13A05(b)(3)), the same thresholds at which the official lists them (§ 1105(b)(6)–(7)). The statement for 2025 lists no gift or hospitality from them.
What to check- Whether the statement lists it under another name (a parent company, the lobbying firm, the charity it went to)
- Whether the report's recipient is this person (name and position as written)
- Whether an amended statement adds it
Travel, lodging & hospitality: EdChoice $1,636
Rule: Lobbying gifts not on the statement
“identify, by name, position and each occurrence, a State official or employee who receives from a principal or lobbyist anything of value which must be included in the statement under section 1105(b)(6) or (7)”65 Pa.C.S. § 13A05(b)(3) ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works
Context Gifts · the statement
Lists 4 sources of gifts, worth $7,525
Block 11 lists gifts received in 2024: Robert Sherman ($1,000); Families Behind the Badge ($4,700); Drexel University ($1,200); Caring for Friends ($625). Pennsylvania has no gift limit; the Ethics Act requires listing them (65 Pa.C.S. § 1105(b)(6)–(7)).
What to check- Whether any giver is a registered lobbyist or lobbying principal
- Whether the same giver appears in other years
Gifts: Robert Sherman $1,000Gifts: Families Behind the Badge $4,700Gifts: Drexel University $1,200Gifts: Caring for Friends $625
Rule: Gifts, travel and hospitality listed
“The name and address of the source and the amount of any gift or gifts valued in the aggregate at $250 or more and the circumstances of each gift.”65 Pa.C.S. § 1105(b)(6) ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works
