Evan Low faced a $106,000 fine due to 23 violations of campaign finance laws from a California Fair Political Practices Commission investigation. This was a result of not timely filing reports for donations solicited for nonprofits. He also funneled over $227,000 from a nonprofit to pay Alec Baldwin for appearances. Low was required to repay half of Baldwin's fee. After leaving the assembly, Low established a committee for a potential run for state controller, with $657,686.79 in cash on hand. The fine was paid from campaign funds.
