Enforcement
The Commission made public eight closed cases, as follows. For more information, see the case documents in the Enforcement Query System.
COMPLAINANTS: Neal Dikeman and Neal Dikeman for Senate
RESPONDENTS: CNN Broadcasting, Inc.; and Beto for Texas and Gwendolyn L. Pulido, in her official capacity as treasurer (the Committee)
SUBJECT: The complaint alleged that CNN made, and the Committee accepted, a prohibited in-kind corporate contribution when CNN aired a “town hall” interview with Beto O’Rourke, in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended (the Act). O’Rourke was a 2018 candidate for the United States Senate from Texas.
DISPOSITION: The Commission found no reason to believe either that CNN made a prohibited contribution by sponsoring the town hall or that the Committee accepted a prohibited contribution by participating in the broadcast. The Commission concluded that CNN’s sponsorship and airing of the town hall was covered by the Act’s so-called press exemption, which exempts from the definition of “contribution” and “expenditure” “[a]ny cost incurred in covering or carrying a news story, commentary, or editorial by any broadcasting station . . . unless the facility is owned or controlled by any political party, political committee, or candidate.” Noting that it has previously recognized CNN as a press entity that produces news stories on a regular basis and is not owned or controlled by a political party, political committee, or federal candidate, the Commission concluded that it appeared that CNN was acting in its legitimate press function when it aired the O’Rourke town hall.

RESPONDENTS: Raul Campillo for City Council District 7 2020 and Taryn Vogel, in her official capacity as treasurer (the Committee); Raul Campillo; Joel Delgado Alvarez; Alejandro Campillo; Campillo Food Services, Inc.; and Denny’s Inc.
SUBJECT: The complaint alleged that the Committee, which was Raul Campillo’s campaign committee for a seat on the San Diego City Council, accepted $200 in contributions from Alvarez, an alleged foreign national.
