Wherever this chapter provides that a contribution or expenditure is exempt from the provisions hereof if “it is clear from the surrounding circumstances that it is not made for political purposes,” the burden of proof shall be on the candidate or committee to demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that such contribution or expenditure does not have a political purpose and, unless such burden is met, it shall be presumed that the purpose is political.
