Campaign finance: FPPC Form 470 short form — John Friedrich
Filed FPPC Form 470 (Officeholder and Candidate Campaign Statement, Short Form) (posted 2026-08-24 to the City Clerk's Laserfiche portal) with the City of South Lake Tahoe City Clerk, covering 2026-01-01 to 2026-12-31. A Form 470 means the candidate has no controlled committee and does not expect to receive or spend $2,000 or more in the calendar year, so no contribution or expenditure totals are reported. The filing is kept on record internally; it is not hosted because it carries the filer's address and phone.
