FPPC Complaint Targets Steyer Campaign over Undisclosed Influencer Payments
A complaint lodged with the California Fair Political Practices Commission alleges Tom Steyer’s gubernatorial campaign violated state transparency statutes by failing to properly disclose paid political influencer content across social media platforms. Filed by attorney Nick Rowley on behalf of social media creator Margaret “Maggie” Reed, the complaint asserts the campaign engaged influencers without informing them of mandated disclosure obligations, thereby obscuring paid political communications from public view.
