What We Check For
Mass Mailings at Public Expense
We look for campaign-style content, prominent featuring of elected officials, and other common pitfalls in publicly funded mailers that can trigger legal violations under state laws. Examples include:
Prominent Featuring of Elected Officials
If a mailer includes the name, photograph, or signature of an elected official in a way that promotes them, it may be considered a violation — even if the content appears informational.
Timing Close to Elections
Mailers sent within 60–90 days of an election are subject to heightened scrutiny, especially if they reference ballot measures or candidates.
Persuasive Language or Tone
Language that appears to advocate for or against a measure or candidate — even subtly — can be interpreted as campaign material.
Exceeding the 200-Piece Threshold
If 200 or more substantially similar pieces are sent at public expense, the mailer must meet strict content and formatting requirements to remain compliant.
Why Compliance Matters
Sending a non-compliant mailer isn’t just a paperwork issue — it can create real legal, financial, and political risk.
Fines and Legal Penalties
Violations can result in penalties of thousands of dollars per incident. One unvetted mailer can lead to costly enforcement actions.Reputational Damage
Campaign finance violations often generate negative press. Getting flagged for misusing public resources can erode public trust and become political ammunition.Investigations and Public Records Requests
A single complaint can lead to official investigations, public records reviews, and weeks or months of staff distraction.Expensive Legal Review and Staff Time
Manual review is slow and subjective. Legal review adds cost — and even then, errors still slip through under deadline pressure.Confusing Rules and Risky Judgment Calls
Guidelines vary by state and can be hard to interpret. The line between educational and campaign material isn’t always obvious — especially for non-lawyers.
