Democratic County Central Committee Chair Mary Jung:

Dear Chair Jung:
We write with great concern about the misuse of funds received by the DCCC, the lack of
information about those funds given to DCCC members, the fact that no vote was ever conducted
on the use of those funds, and finally the way in which those funds were utilized.
On May 30, 2014, Ron Conway made a contribution to the DCCC in the amount of $25,000.
This was 3 days before the election on June 3, 2014. Ethics Commission filings show on
6/1/2014 you authorized expenditures totaling $11,674.48 for membership communication
calls. Yet these were not member communication calls as no DCCC members were actually
making the calls, they were calls to influence voters to vote No on Measure B. And although the
Democratic Party in San Francisco voted to support No on B by a 13-12 vote of the DCCC, there
was never a vote by the members to expend $11,674.48 to make calls for No on B.

Per our Bylaws ARTICLE VII: DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS:

Section 1. AUTHORIZATION, Disbursements of SFDCCC funds except as provided in Section
3 herein shall be authorized by a majority vote of the voting members present and voting at a
regular meeting.

Section 2. USE OF FUNDS Funds contributed to the SFDCCC for use on behalf of a particular
candidate or campaign must be expended for such purposes or returned to the donor by order of
the Chairperson.

Section 3. DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS The Chairperson is authorized to disburse funds for the
operating and miscellaneous expenses of the SFDCCC without prior approval but shall account
to the SFDCCC for the expenditure of such funds.

Here, no vote was ever held where member could authorize such a large expenditure. According
to Section 2, funds may be used on behalf of a particular campaign, but the Bylaws do not state
that in this situation no vote is required. Finally, the $11,674.48 cannot be categorized as an
operating or miscellaneous expense as the Form 496 filed by the DCCC with the Ethics
Commission on 6/2/2014 specifically indicates that the expenditure was to oppose Measure B.

In addition, news reports indicate that the calls actually made with this significant donation were
deliberately intended to mislead voters. People received calls from paid callers stating they were
calling about the No Wall on the Waterfront Campaign and urging them to vote No on B.
However, the No Wall on the Waterfront campaign is actually the official committee backing the
Yes on B measure. These calls made in the name of the SF Democratic Party were simply
deceptive and wrong and do harm to our reputation and to the integrity of the electoral process.

The undersigned hereby demand a special hearing regarding this matter at the next Democratic
County Central Committee Meeting. We want answers as to who solicited the $25,000
contribution from Mr. Conway, when you knew it would be received, what it was intended to be
used for, who authorized the $11,674.48 expenditure on 6/1/2014 for paid phone calls that went
out to voters against Measure B, why notification was not given to DCCC members or a vote
taken at the last meeting and who drafted the wording of the script used for those calls.

It has also been brought to our attention that the firm that No on B used for earlier anti-B calls
was a Texas-based non-union calling firm. Why is the Democratic Party's money being used to
export jobs out of SF and to pay non-union low Texas-wages?

The power that comes with being the Chair does not mean that you can circumvent Bylaws and
advocate and raise money for causes that you happen to also work for. There is a serious conflict
of interest here. We would like answers to the above questions on June 25, 2014.

Sincerely,

Kelly Dwyer
