- W267613115 abstract "I. INTRODUCTION Elections, on both a federal and state level, play a seminal role in America's representative system of government. Elected officials are charged by their constituents with the responsibilities of identifying and correcting perceived and apparent social, economic, and political problems. Because of the powers vested in these representatives, millions of dollars from candidates' personal fortunes and from the wallets of campaign supporters are invested each election.1 Native American tribes and their tribal gaming interests are playing an increasing role in America's political process. On both a federal and state level, tribes and their affiliate gaming interests have made large contributions to political candidates to influence the debate on issues ranging from gambling licenses to tribal lands.2 As with other campaign contributors, as the size of tribal contributions increases, so too does the concern over the influence tribes may be exerting on the electoral process. This concern has reached a crescendo in California, which is home to more Indians3 than any other state and more Indian tribes than any state other than Alaska.4 Over the last few years, tribal contributions to candidates for California office have seen a dramatic increase.5 Most recently, California tribes provided significant contributions to two candidates in the recall election of California's governor.6 It is clear California tribes will continue to make large campaign contributions to candidates they support and thereby have an impact on California's electoral process. It is unclear, however, tribes must make public disclosure of those contributions. California, like many states, has enacted campaign disclosure requirements to protect the integrity of the state's electoral process.7 In 1974, California adopted the Political Reform Act of 1974 (the PRA) to ensure receipts and expenditures in election campaigns [are] fully and truthfully disclosed in order the voters may be fully informed and improper practices may be inhibited.8 California's legislation, passed in the wake of Watergate when campaign finance reform became a major issue, is typical of disclosure requirements and reflects the political climate favoring disclosure. However, application of California's disclosure requirements to donations from federally recognized Indian tribes was recently tested in two superior court cases brought by the California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) against two Indian tribes for violation of the State's campaign disclosure requirements.9 In each case, the tribes filed motions to quash service of summons and dismiss the suits on the ground the doctrine of tribal sovereign immunity from suit relieves the tribes from compliance with the campaign disclosure requirements.10 The superior court decisions delivered contradictory holdings on the question of whether a state court has the power to exercise jurisdiction over a sovereign, federally recognized Indian tribe in an action brought by a state agency seeking to enforce state law concerning election campaign disclosures.11 In Fair Political Practices Commission v. Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, the court concluded that the tribe is not immune from . . . the PRA reporting requirements for its political contributions and legislative lobbying because case law does not support the position that a tribe is immune from suit for activities . . . are intended to influence a sovereign State's electoral and legislative processes.12 Two months later, a different superior court in Fair Political Practices Commission v. Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria granted the tribe's motion to quash, finding case law supports a general tribal immunity whenever Congress has not expressly abrogated the immunity or the tribe has not expressly waived its immunity from suit with respect to those activities. …" @default.
