Re: Alleged Violation of Title 24 of NRS

File C24-60 SOS

Dear Mr. Lawson,

The Secretary of State’s (SOS) office has received the enclosed Election Integrity Violation Report
(EIVR). Specifically, the allegation asserts that you submitted your Contribution & Expense (C&E)
Report #1 submitted April 13, 2024, and amended on April 14, 2024. Further, the EIVR alleges
neither C&E report shows references to any in-kind donations related to a campaign fundraiser
held by the Yuill Brothers at Pinocchio’s Bar and Gill on March 27, 2024.

NRS 294A.007 “Contribution” defined.

1. “Contribution” means a gift, loan, conveyance, deposit, payment, transfer or distribution of
money or of anything of value other than the services of a volunteer, and includes:
(a) The payment by any person, other than a candidate, of compensation for the personal
services of another person which are rendered to a:
(1) Candidate;
(2) Person who makes an independent expenditure; or
(3) Committee for political action, political party or committee sponsored by a political
party which makes an expenditure for or against a candidate or group of candidates,
Ê without charge to the candidate, person, committee or political party.
(b) The value of services provided in kind for which money would have otherwise been paid,
such as paid polling and resulting data, paid direct mail, paid solicitation by telephone, any paid
paraphernalia that was printed or otherwise produced to promote a campaign and the use of paid
personnel to assist in a campaign.
2. As used in this section, “volunteer” means a person who does not receive compensation of
any kind, directly or indirectly, for the services provided to a campaign.
(Added to NRS by 1981, 730; A 1991, 1393; 1997, 239; 2007, 967; 2011, 2106, 3288; 2013,
