Relevant Cites
Congressional Candidates
A congressional candidate must file within 30 days of raising or spending $5,000 for a campaign for
election to the U.S. House of Representatives, or on or before May 15 of the calendar year in which he or
she becomes a candidate, whichever is later. However, there are certain exceptions to this general rule. A
qualifying candidate must file no later than 30 days before an election in which the individual is
participating. If he or she does not exceed the $5,000 threshold until sometime within that 30-day period,
the candidate should file the Financial Disclosure Statement immediately after he or she raises or spends
more than $5,000. If a campaign never exceeds the $5,000 threshold, the candidate need not file a
Financial Disclosure Statement. In each subsequent year in which an individual continues to be a candidate
on May 15, a new report must be filed by that date.

Failure to file or falsifying disclosure statements
The Ethics in Government Act of 1978, as amended, provides that the Attorney General may seek a civil
penalty of up to $11,000 against any individual who knowingly and willfully falsifies or fails to file or
report any information required by the Act (5U.S.C. app. 4, § 104).

In addition, 18 U.S.C. §1001, as amended by the False Statements Accountability Act of 1996, is applicable
here. The criminal statute, as here relevant, provides for a fine and/or imprisonment for up to five years for
knowingly and willfully making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement or representation, or
falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact, in filing under the Ethics in Government Act.

House Rule 26 provides that title I of the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 shall be deemed to be a Rule of
the House insofar as the law pertains to Members, officers and employees. The House acting on the
recommendation of the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, may therefore impose penalties on
Members, officers and employees in addition to those noted above.
