Campaign Finance - Rubio, Marco Rubio for US Senate, Response to FEC Re: July Quarterly Report (2014)

Marco Rubio for US Senate RECEIVED SECRETARY OF THE SENATE PUBLIC RECORDS 15 APR 15 PM 2:51 April 11, 2015 Jill Sugarman Senior Campaign Finance & Reviewing Analyst Federal Election Commission c/o Secretary of the Senate 232 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 ID Number: C00458844 Reference: July Quarterly Report (4/1/14-6/30/14) Dear Ms. Sugarman: This letter is in response to your request for additional information, dated March 12, 2015. 1. Your letter indicates that the Committee disclosed one or more contributions that appear to exceed the limits set forth in the act. The Committee is aware of the contribution limits. In the case of an individual, if the contribution cannot be presumptively reattributed to a spouse or redesignated to a subsequent election, the Committee either sends a verified reattribution letter or refunds the excessive portion within 60 days of receipt. The Committee sends all presumptive reattribution and redesignation letters within 30 days or receipt and always gives the donor the option of making a change or requesting a refund. When the Committee receives contributions from other political committees that cause an excessive total, the Committee contacts the other political committee and requests a verified redesignation. If this is not received, the Committee issues a refund. The following is a response to each contributor listed in your letter: Jenny Craig: This contribution will be corrected with the recent distribution from the Rubio Victory Fund and reported on the April 2015 Quarterly Report. The amounts were inadvertently reversed and the primary and general totals have been corrected. Thomas Cretella: A refund in the amount of $1000 was issued on 7/28/14 and was disclosed on the October 2014 Quarterly Report. Gay Gaines: The second contribution was incorrectly noted as Primary. This correction will appear on the April 2015 Quarterly Report. William Gates: A refund in the amount of $500 was issued on 10/3/14 and was disclosed on the 2014 Year End Report. Cody Khan: This contribution will be corrected with the recent distribution from the Rubio Victory Fund and reported on the April 2015 Quarterly Report. 15020131002 Paid for by Marco Rubio for US Senate

Marco Rubio for US Senate J.A. Paradis: On 7/1/14, $600 was redesignated to the 2016 General Election. This was disclosed on the October 2014 Quarterly Report. Martha Schar: This donor was a duplicate entry in our system. The corrected entry will be disclosed on the April 2015 Quarterly Report. Ray Sewkowski: This donor was a duplicate entry in our system. The corrected entry will be disclosed on the April 2015 Quarterly Report. Mary Wolf: Refunds in the amount of $250 were issued on 7/28/14 and an additional $1040 refund was issued on 12/23/14. These were disclosed on the October 2014 Quarterly Report and the 2014 Year End Report. The Committee now de-dupes and performs reviews of the data weekly to identify any excessive contributions that may have been missed during the initial processing. Once excessive contributions are identified, the Committee takes steps to either reattribute, redesignate or refund if necessary. For presumptive reattributions and redesignations, the Committee notifies the contributors in writing within 60 days of receipt and gives the contributor the opportunity to change this designation or request a refund as required by the Commission regulations. For excessive contributions that cannot be presumptively reattributed or redesignated, the excessive portion of the contribution is refunded within 60 days of receipt of the original contribution, with most being issued within the same reporting period. In addition, we have asked our database vendor to review the files to make sure it has de-duped the records. We have also asked that they retrain their staff to properly input contribution data in the first instance. We are also reviewing our processes to ensure that we are taking every step to avoid these issues in the future. Sincerely, Lisa R. Lisker Lisa Lisker Assistant Treasurer 15020131003 Paid for by Marco Rubio for US Senate
