The SEIU 775 Ballot Fund asserted that the allegations resulted from inadvertent reporting errors that occurred during the transition to a new ministerial treasurer and a new outside reporting vendor. The Committee stated that the errors were promptly identified and corrected and did not materially impact the public's understanding of their financial activity.</div><div>•<span> </span>The Committee acknowledged that a contribution was incorrectly reported as having been received from Amalgamated Bank when the actual contributor was SEIU 775. The Committee contended that the contribution itself was timely disclosed and the reporting error was clerical in nature. Upon discovering the error the Committee amended its report to correctly identify SEIU 775 as the contributor.</div><div>•<span> </span>The Committee also acknowledged that interest income was inaccurately reported and that interest deposits for December 2025 and January 2026 were not timely disclosed. According to the response, November 2025 interest was timely reported but mistakenly categorized as a contribution from Amalgamated Bank rather than miscellaneous receipts. The Committee stated that the reporting omissions were discovered during a routine reconciliation process in March 2026 and were corrected through amended C-3 reports.</div><div>•<span> </span>As mitigating factors, the Committee emphasized that the reporting issues occurred during a treasurer transition, that corrective action was taken voluntarily and promptly and the errors were identified and corrected before the complaint was received by the PDC. The Committee further asserted that the reporting errors occurred after the 2025 election cycle, did not deprive the public of critical information, and did not provide any political or economic benefit to the Committee.</div><div>•<span> </span>PDC staff found that the Committee identified the reporting errors through an internal reconciliation process and took corrective action before receiving the notice of the complaint.

as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has
occurred, but does not amount to a violation that warrants further

The Lynden School District stated that the campaign signs at issue were placed by the independent PAC, Citizens for Lynden Schools, not by the school district. According to the Superintendent, the signs were installed around April 14, 2026, on property owned by a private citizen and were removed shortly after the April 29, 2026, election. </div><div>•<span> </span>The district explained that the former church property had been subdivided into three separate parcels owned by three different entities. The district leases and operates a program on one parcel, while the signs were placed on a different parcel owned by a private citizen. Though the sign location appeared close to district-leased property, the district maintains the signs were not located on district property. After receiving concerns about the signs on April 22, 2026, the Superintendent contacted representatives of the PAC and advised that the placement could create the appearance that the district was supporting the ballot measure. The campaign group agreed to move the signs farther east to make their location outside the district leased parcel more apparent. The Superintendent personally inspected the site on April 23, 2026, and confirmed that the signs were not on property leased by the district.</div><div>•<span> </span>The Respondent does not have previous warnings or violations of similar PDC requirements.</div><div><br></div></div><div><div>PDC staff found no evidence to support a violation of RCW 29B.45.010 by the Respondent.

Three: The Franklin County Sheriff's Office’s Facebook page was used to
publish an endorsement for 2026 candidate Monty Huber on 4/3/26</li></ul><p class="MsoNormal"><span>The
Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaints
filed by John Estey (the “Complainant”) on March 8, 2026 and April 3, 2026. The
complaints alleged that Franklin County Sheriff’s Office violated RCW
29B.45.010 by using public facilities (resources) to assist an election
campaign. Specifically, the complaint alleged the agency used their official
Facebook page to assist candidate Monty Huber in the 2026 election. However, after further review, PDC staff
determined that Sheriff Jim Raymond is the proper Respondent in this case (see
RCW 29B.45.010).</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Noncompliance appears to be partly the result of a good-faith
misunderstanding regarding how a personal social media page, once launched as
the official page of a governmental agency, becomes a public facility
(resource) of that agency and subsequently subject to the restrictions set
forth in </span><span>RCW 29B.45.010. For more
than a decade, the FCSO has used the Respondent’s Facebook page to communicate
with Franklin County residents, making it a de facto page of the sheriff’s
office. All the site data suggests to the audience that the Facebook page is
managed, and exclusively used by, the FCSO. Furthermore, the Respondent’s
initial post makes clear his intention that the site was to be used by FCSO as
an official means of communicating with the public.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Having
established that the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page is, at
least for the time being, a public agency facility (resource), it follows that publishing
content thereon that directly or indirectly assists an election campaign is not
permitted. This includes, but is not limited to, making posts and comments, reposting
content from a candidate’s social media page, and publishing endorsements of
candidates.</span> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Notably,
the Respondent is not prohibited from expressing his own personal views
concerning a candidate while using his personal social media account as he did when
he commented on the FCSO Spotlight regarding Monty Huber. As a reminder, this
should be done on personal time, using personal equipment.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>PDC staff have determined that, in these instances, the Respondent's use
of public office/agency facilities to assist an election campaign does not
amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.</span></p><p>However, based on the <b>attached</b> findings and pursuant to <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-37-060">WAC
390-37-060(1)(d)</a>, this
serves as a formal written warning concerning the Respondent's use of public office/agency
facilities to assist an election campaign. PDC staff expect the Respondent not to use agency
social media sites, paid agency staff time or agency equipment, directly or
indirectly, to assist an election campaign in the future. The Commission will
consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action
if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p class="MsoNormal">

Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) completed its review of the complaint filed by
Conner Edwards (the “Complainant”) on December 12, 2025. The complaint alleged that
Southwest WA Electricians PAC 48 of WA (the “Respondent”) violated RCW
42.17A.235 and .240 (since recodified as </span><span>RCW 29B.25.090 and .100) by failing to timely

in this case. The existence of prior, recent enforcement regarding the committee’s
failure to timely file reports is an aggravating factor. However, noncompliance
is mitigated by the fact that the person responsible for filing the committee’s
reports was recently diagnosed with another life-threatening medical condition that
contributed to the late report that is the subject of this case. The committee’s
decision to internally shift filing duties to ensure the timeliness of future PDC
reports, and the fact that the late post-election C-4 report did not contain
any reportable activity are both partially mitigating factors.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>PDC staff have determined that, in this instance, the Respondent's failure to timely file a post-election C-4 report six days late does not amount

2026. The complaint alleged violations of RCW 29B.25.090 and .100 by failing to
timely and accurately report expenditures. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Applicable Laws and Rules</span></b><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>RCW 29B.25.090 and .100 require
candidates or political committees to file timely, accurate reports of
contributions and expenditures. A committee that selects the Full Reporting
option on their C-1pc report is required to report contributions and expenditures
to the PDC on C-3 and C-4 reports. The due dates for these reports are based
upon the election cycle, the committee’s election participation, and the level
of their financial activity. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Background and Findings</span></b><span></span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>The
complaint alleged that your campaign failed to file accurate C-4 reports.
Specifically, the complaint alleged that your campaign for the Office of Sheriff
in Douglas County failed to file timely C-4 reports and provide adequate
detail pertaining to the expenditures made by your campaign in the 2026
election year. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>The
staff reviewed the C-4 report at issue covering activity from November
18, 2025 to March 31, 2026, and noted that the report was filed late on
April 10, 2026, showing a $1,000 deposit reported late. However, the
staff noted that the same deposit for $1,000 was reported timely on your
C-3 report. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>The
staff also reviewed some of the C-4 reports filed by your campaign for
the 2026 election year and noted that some of the expenditures reported
by your campaign failed to depict the required detail related to the
number/quantity of items purchased by the campaign. For example, for the
C-4 report filed on April 10, 2026, the campaign made three separate expenditures
payable to <i>Republican Signs</i> on Feb 25, March 12 and March 22, 2026
for <i>yard signs</i> in the amount of $1,986 and failed to include the
number/quantity of signs purchased by The Committee.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>The
same applies to the expenditures made by the campaign on March 12 and 17,
2026, paid to <i>Sticker Mule</i> and <i>Plateau Prints and Signs</i> for
“Campaign Stickers” and “Campaign T-shirts” in the amount of 252.57 and
$1,219.50, respectively. The campaign failed to include the required
detail (number/quantity of items purchased by the campaign). </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>On
July 8, 11 and 12, 2026, the campaign amended the pertinent C-4 reports
at issue in this matter and cured the reporting deficiencies noted above.
</span></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Summary and Resolution</span></b><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Having reviewed the complaint and the
supporting evidence, the PDC staff has determined that you appear to have
violated </span><span>RCW 29B.25.090 and .100. After
consideration of all the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the
purpose(s) of the Fair Campaign Practices Act. Under WAC 390-37-070, the
executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the Commission, may
dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by initial review and/or
investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but
also shows that the Respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant
statute(s) or rule(s), or shows that formal enforcement action is not
warranted. </span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Based
on this, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 29B.60.020(1)
and WAC 390-37-060(1)(d). The PDC staff is reminding you about the importance
of filing timely and accurate expenditure reports. You are expected to comply

Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) completed its review of the complaint filed by
Conner Edwards (the “Complainant”) on January 27, 2026. The complaint alleged that
Home Care Association of Washington PAC (the “Respondent”) violated RCW
29B.25.090 and .100 by failing to timely and accurately report expenditures in
2025.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>The following are mitigating factors in this case: 1)
non-compliance appears to be the result of good-faith omissions; 2) the
campaign was relatively small; and 3) its expenditures were relatively modest.
While the July 2025 contributions were reported late by the Respondent, the
impact on the public was minimal due to their lack of election participation
and the fact that the committees who received the contributions from the
Respondent timely disclosed them on C-3 reports.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>PDC staff have determined that, in this instance, the Respondent's failure to timely file two monthly C-4 reports for 2025 does not amount to a

alleged the Citizens for Hockinson Schools (the “Respondent”) violated RCW
29B.25.090 and .25.100 by failing to timely and accurately report contributions

Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) completed its review of the complaint filed by
Conner Edwards (the “Complainant”) on December 25, 2025. The complaint alleged that
Connie Allison (the “Respondent”) violated RCW 29B.25.090 and .100 by failing
to timely and accurately report contributions and expenditures during election
year 2025. Specifically, the complaint alleged that the Respondent filed a late
C-4 report covering 5/9/25-10/13/25 that contained insufficient in-kind
contribution descriptions.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Noncompliance appears to be the result of good-faith
errors or omissions and was partially mitigated by the following factors: 1) the
relatively small size of the Respondent's campaign; 2) the campaign’s modest expenditures;
and 3) the late-reported information for May-July was submitted before the 2025
General Election. Notably, the campaign’s financial activity continued to be below
the Mini Reporting threshold for the five months that the Respondent was under Full
Reporting.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>PDC staff have determined that, in this instance, the Respondent's failure to timely file one or more C-4 reports for May-July 2025 does not

Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint
filed by Dara Mandeville (the “Complainant”) on March 27, 2026. The complaint
alleged that Martin Moore (the “Respondent”) violated RCW 29B.45.010 by using
public office or agency facilities (resources) to assist a campaign for
election. Specifically, the complaint alleged that 1) the Respondent’s Federal
Way City Councilmember Facebook page is a public facility because it functions
as an official government communication channel and is a public record; and 2) the
presence of a modified version of the Respondent’s campaign logo on that
Facebook page gives the appearance that public resources are being used to
promote a campaign.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal">On April 13, 2026, the Respondent’s attorney
provided a written response to the complaint wherein he indicated that the
alleged Facebook page 1) is not the property of the City of Federal Way; 2) was
created by the Respondent on his own time; and 3) is run by the Respondent on
his own time. He goes on to state his belief that no government facilities have
been used for campaign purposes and no violation has occurred. The response
also says that the text of the logo was changed because the Respondent’s
campaign [for 2025] has ended.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Based on the<b> attached</b> findings, PDC staff have determined that, in this instance, the Respondent's use of a personal social media page as an official City Councilmember page and a
campaign logo modified to reflect this change do not amount to a violation that
warrants further investigation.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>However, PDC staff reminded the Respondent about the importance
of not using a social media page identified with his elected office to engage
in campaign-related communications, advertising or promotions in accordance
with the PDC laws, rules or guidance. The PDC recommends maintaining separate
social media sites or functions to avoid violations of RCW 29B.45.010 in
appearance or in practice.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal">

alleged that, in election year 2023, Jean Craciun (the “Respondent”) violated
RCW 29B.25.090 and .100 (formerly RCW 42.17A.235 and .240) by failing to</span><span>

maintain complete and accurate books-of-account for five years. This also
serves as a warning regarding the personal use of campaign contributions for
purchases that were not addressed at the May 14, 2026 Brief Enforcement
Hearing. In the future, PDC staff expect the Respondent to timely and accurately disclose

<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span>Applicable Laws and Rules</span></u></p>

reports of contributions and expenditures. A committee that selects the Full
Reporting option on their C-1pc report is required to report contributions and
expenditures to the PDC on C-3 reports and C-4 reports. The due dates for these
reports are based upon the election cycle, the committee’s election
participation, and their financial activity. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span>Background and Findings</span></u></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>POD PAC 115 is a continuing committee,
registered with the PDC under the Full Reporting option. </span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>The
complaint alleged a single C-4 report was filed 18 days late, and that the
Committee’s 2024 ending and 2025 beginning balance did not agree.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>On
January 12, 2026, a copy of the complaint was sent to Respondent. They
immediately contacted PDC staff and acknowledged filing the C-4 disclosing
$1,897 in activity late. </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>The
Respondent also was able to identify the carryforward discrepancy. The
Committee had entered a $144 contribution twice but only filed a single C-3.
After working with PDC staff, Respondent updated the committee records to have
matching 2024 ending and 2025 starting balances. </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>The
Committee had minimal activity for calendar year 2025 and did not report
activity that would indicate it participated in the 2025 elections. </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>The
Respondent does have previous warnings or violations of similar PDC
requirements.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span>Summary and Resolution</span></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Based
on our findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, any violation
that may have occurred was minor and has been cured. After consideration of the
circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purpose of this chapter.
Under WAC 390-37-060, the executive director, at any time prior to
consideration by the commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or
as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has
occurred, but does not amount to a violation that warrants further
investigation. </span></p>

The Respondent initially registered under the “Mini Reporting” option and continued to adhere to the mini reporting limits throughout their campaign. It appears that the Respondent’s submittal of C-3 and C-4 reports despite being registered under mini was due to a general lack of knowledge regarding PDC filing requirements. Staff noted that any incomplete C-4 reporting was minor and had minimal impact on the public.</div><div><br></div><div>Regarding the insufficient sponsor identification on the Respondent’s campaign signs, PDC staff found that the signs included some information as to the identity of the sponsor so a member of the public could reasonably ascertain the identity of the sponsor.

After consideration of the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purpose of this chapter.

Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) completed its review of the complaint filed by
Conner Edwards on December 25, 2025. The complaint alleged that Dianna Chonka
(the “Respondent”) violated RCW 29B.25.090 and .100 by failing to timely and
accurately report contributions and expenditures in election year 2025.
Specifically, the complaint alleged that the Respondent’s C-4 report covering
April-August 2025 was filed late and the description therein for a yard sign
expenditure lacked the number of items printed.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>There are both mitigating and one aggravating factor
present in this case. Noncompliance appears to be the result of good-faith
errors or omissions and is partially mitigated by the Respondent's status as a first-time
candidate and her campaign’s 1) relatively small size; and 2) modest
expenditures. However, one election-related expenditure was disclosed late on
an amended report that was filed after the 2025 General Election, which
deprived the public of accurate and timely information during a time-sensitive
period in the campaign.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>PDC staff have determined that, in this instance, the Respondent's failure to timely and accurately file C-4 reports for 2025 does not amount to a

Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of a complaint
filed by Conner Edwards on January 21, 2026, which included an allegation that
Citizens for Hockinson Schools violated RCW 29B.25.090 and .25.100 by not
filing C-4 reports disclosing contributions and expenditures for March through
December of 2025 (PDC Case 184862).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>However,
during a preliminary review of the allegations, PDC staff determined that the
complaint concerned two different organizations: Yes Hockinson, a continuing
committee, and Citizens for Hockinson Schools, a single year committee. For
this reason, a separate case was opened for Yes Hockinson (the “Respondent”) to
address the allegation concerning failure to file C-4 reports for March -
December 2025.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>The following are mitigating factors in this case: 1) non-compliance
appears to be the result of a good-faith omissions; 2) non-compliance was
remedied the same day we notified the committee about the missing reports; 3) the campaign was relatively small; and 4) expenditures were relatively modest.
While the late reports deprived the public of information during time-sensitive
period in the election, the impact on the public was minimal due to the committee's lack
of financial activity.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>PDC staff have determined that, in this instance, failure to timely file pre- and post-election C-4 reports in 2025 does not
amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.</span></p><p>However, based on the <b>attached </b>findings and pursuant to <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-37-060">WAC
390-37-060(1)(d)</a>, this
serves as a formal written warning concerning the Respondent's failure to timely file
required pre- and post-election C-4 reports in 2025. Staff expect the committee to timely<b> </b>file all required pre- and
post-election reports in the future, even when they do not have any activity
to disclose. The Commission will consider this formal written warning in
deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC
laws or rules.</p><p class="MsoNormal">

The complaints alleged that Roger Flygare, a 2015 candidate for Fire Commissioner for South King Fire & Rescue, and a 2017 candidate for Federal Way City Council may have violated RCW 42.17A.205 for failure to timely and completely file a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) disclosing all committee officers, and for failing to register businesses owned by the candidate as Political Committees; RCW 42.17A.220 for failure to timely deposit contributions; RCW 42.17A.235 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the campaign; RCW 42.17A.240, WAC 390-16-037, and WAC 390-16-205 for failure to accurately provide detailed breakdowns of expenditures, in-kind contributions, and debts; RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to include sponsor identification on boosted digital advertising; RCW 42.17A.405 for accepting over-limit contributions; RCW 42.17A.425 for allowing persons not listed as committee officers on the C-1 report to authorize expenditures; RCW 42.17A.465 for failure to record loans by written instrument; and RCW 42.17A.710 for failure to disclose officership status in a professional association on the Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report).</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the responses provided by Roger Flygare; the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>While the 2015 Fire Commissioner and 2017 Federal Way City Council campaigns had issues related to the timely, accurate, and detailed reporting of contributions and expenditures, and failed to provide sponsor identification on boosted digital advertising, the campaigns made good faith efforts to comply with the requirements of Chapter 42.17A RCW and Title 390 WAC, and have maintained communication and cooperation with PDC staff to attain and sustain compliance.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately report contributions and expenditures, report unpaid officerships in associations, and failure to provide sponsor identification on boosted digital advertising, do not amount to violations warranting further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), Roger Flygare will receive a formal written warning concerning timely and complete disclosure of all contribution and expenditure activities, board memberships and officerships on qualifying organizations, and the complete and accurate disclosure of sponsor identification on all political advertising.

A committee that selects the Full Reporting option on their C-1pc report is required to report contributions and expenditures to the PDC on C-3 reports and C-4 reports. The due dates for these reports are based upon the election cycle, the committee’s election participation, and their financial activity. </div><div><br></div><div>Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.320, all written political advertising must include the name and address of the sponsor.

Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaints
filed by Conner Edwards (the “Complainant”) on January 30, 2026 and February 4,
2026. The complaints alleged that Tumwater Citizens for Better Education (TCBE)
(the “Respondent”) violated RCW 29B.25.090 and .25.100 by failing to 1) timely
and accurately disclose contributions and expenditures for election years 2022
and 2026; and 2) provide a campaign books inspection for election year 2026.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Specifically,
the first complaint alleged that 1) the Respondent did not file reports in 2022;
2) their 21-day pre-election C-4 report (covering 12/10/25-1/19/26) was
inaccurate because it was filed early; and 3) the 21-day report lacked two expenditure
description details. The second complaint alleged that the committee did not timely
respond to a request to inspect their campaign books-of-account.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The
first complaint also alleged that the committee’s use of their acronym “TCBE”
on campaign signs was problematic because it made “follow[ing] the money”
difficult for voters. However, this allegation was dismissed prior to case
opening because 1) the Respondent has included this acronym as part of is
registered name since 2020; and 2) both the committee and their reports can
easily be found on the PDC’s website by searching for “TCBE.”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Noncompliance appears to be the result of good-faith
omissions. The late C-4 reports for 2022 and incomplete expenditure
descriptions in 2026 had minimal impact on the public and were quickly remedied
by the Respondent. The committee's relatively small size and modest expenditures are also
mitigating. The committee’s failure to file three pre- and post-election C-4
reports for 2022 until well after the election is an aggravating factor but
moderated by the fact that only a single expenditure of about $400 was disclosed
late.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>The Respondent's failure to timely provide a campaign
books inspection is mitigated by the fact that they fulfilled the Complainant’s
request within 24 hours of being notified by PDC staff and before the February
2026 Special Election. Nonetheless, the committee is urged to monitor their designated
email address for such requests starting ten days before an election to ensure timely
compliance.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>PDC staff have determined that, in this instance, the Respondent's failure to 1) timely disclose one expenditure for 2022, 2) provide sufficient
descriptions for two expenditures in 2026; and 3) timely respond to a campaign
books inspection do not amount to violations that warrant further
investigation.</span></p><p>However, based on the <b>attached</b> findings and pursuant to <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-37-060">WAC
390-37-060(1)(d)</a>, this serves as a formal written
warning concerning the Respondent's failure to timely and accurately disclose expenditures
in 2022 and 2026, and timely permit a campaign books-of-account inspection in
2026. PDC staff expect the committee to timely<b> </b>file
all required pre- and post-election C-4 reports, even when theet do not have any activity to disclose, and timely provide campaign books inspections
in the future. The Commission will consider this formal written warning in

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Respondent
is a candidate for City Council Member of the City of Sedro Woolley. On April
21, 2025, the campaign filed a Candidate Registration (C-1), selecting the Mini
Reporting Option.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>The
allegations include exceeding mini reporting requirements and failure to
provide required detail on expenditure reports.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>The
complaint was filed after the Respondent contacted the PDC on August 13, 2025,
requesting permission to change his campaign from mini reporting to full
reporting as allowed by state law. </span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Respondent
worked with PDC staff to come into compliance with mini reporting thresholds and
was approved to update their registration to full reporting on September 18,
2025. </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Once
notified of the complaint, Respondent promptly updated their disclosures to

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Mini-to-full reporting applicants are
required to file all contribution and expenditure reports from the beginning of
their campaign to current day before their campaign can be approved for full
reporting. The complaint was filed with the PDC on August 11, 2025, after the
mini-to-full approval process was initiated. That process includes work with
PDC staff to file and correct reports until the mini-to-full application is

The remaining eight complaints contained numerous allegations of violations of RCW 42.17A. for hundreds of campaign contribution and expenditure activities as disclosed on Candidate Registrations (C-1 reports), Monetary Contributions reports (C-3 reports), and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), filed by the Friends of Manka Dhingra Campaign (Campaign). </p><p>The eight complaints were combined into one letter for the following cases: (1) Complaint #3 (PDC Case 15366); (2) Complaint #4 (PDC Case 18600); (3) Complaint #5 (PDC Case 21175); (4) Complaint #6 (PDC Case 21336); (5) Complaint #7 (PDC Case 23120); (6) Complaint #8 (PDC Case 24233); (7) Complaint #9 (PDC Case 25507); and (8) Complaint #10 (PDC Case 27088). </p><p>PDC staff found no evidence of a material violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the eight complaints filed against Senator Dhingra or pursuing enforcement action in this instance, which was also noted in the Attorney General’s letter to Mr. Morgan and Senator Dhingra (and cc:d to the PDC) concerning these complaints. </p><p>PDC staff would note that Ms. Dhingra was a first-time candidate for public office in 2017, and her Campaign filed a total of 692 campaign finance reports with the PDC for the 2017 election cycle that included 46 amended C-4 reports and 31 amended C-3 reports. A number of the allegations listed in the eight complaints concerned information disclosed on amended C-3 and C-4 reports filed by the Campaign. The Campaign stated the amendments were filed “to correct the record and the C-4 reports were filed as soon as the error was discovered. All reports filed were as accurate as the campaign was aware of at the time, and no concealment was intended.”</p><p>Staff’s review of the amended C-3 and C-4 reports filed by the Campaign, Mr. Lo’s frequent communications with PDC staff concerning filing questions both by telephone and by email, and the timeliness in which the Campaign filed amended C-3 and C-4 reports indicated the Campaign made a good faith effort to comply with the reporting requirements. </p><p>The Campaign did everything requested by PDC staff to facilitate transparency in one the most expensive legislative elections in Washington State history. Based on this information, PDC staff is dismissing the allegations concerning amended reports in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p><p>PDC staff also dismissed the allegations listed in your complaints that were based “on information and belief” in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1), since you failed to provide any evidence to support or substantiate those allegations. </p><p>Finally, PDC staff dismissed the remaining allegations in the eight complaints filed against Senator Dhingra as referenced in the attached complaint return letter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/186000.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "18600 Manka Dhingra (4) Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1404/18600%20Manka%20Dhingra%20%284%29%20Response.pdf", "description" : "18600 Manka Dhingra (4) Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "Manka Dhingra Complaint Return Ltr (Morgan Complaints #3-#10) PDC Case 15366_0.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1404/Manka%20Dhingra%20Complaint%20Return%20Ltr%20%28Morgan%20Complaints%20%233-%2310%29%20PDC%20Case%2015366_0.pdf", "description" : "Manka Dhingra Complaint Return Ltr (Morgan Complaints #3-#10) PDC Case 15366_0.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "18600 Manka Dhingra (4) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1404/18600%20Manka%20Dhingra%20%284%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "18600 Manka Dhingra (4) Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}]10/02/2024 03:59:48 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

(EY24 JUN24)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaints filed on June 11, 2024, July 21, 2024, and August 1, 2024. The complaints alleged that David Henderson, a candidate for Grant County Commissioner, Position 2 in the 2024 election, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>David Henderson is a first-time candidate with no prior enforcement history. Staff found that although the Respondent filed the original May 2024 C-4 report late and the report required amendment, the reports were submitted with corrections within a week of receipt of the complaint. In addition, the Respondent made corrections to the expenditure description which was not part of the allegations.</p><p>The Pre-Primary C-4 reports were submitted 17 and 3 days late, respectively, but prior to the date of the Primary election. The contributions included on the late C-4 reports were timely disclosed on C-3 reports and the expenditures included the required description details. No evidence was found that the late reporting was done to intentionally conceal campaign activity from the public.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately submit C-4 reports disclosing campaign activity prior to the Primary election does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, David Henderson will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately disclose expenditures made by the 2024 Henderson Campaign. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Mr. Henderson timely and accurately files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures, including any candidate filing fee and other campaign expenditures. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1554150.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "155415 David Henderson Complaint (2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7012/155415%20David%20Henderson%20Complaint%20%282%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "155415 David Henderson Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7012/155415%20David%20Henderson%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "155415 David Henderson Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "155415 Henderson David Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7012/155415%20Henderson%20David%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "155415 David Henderson Complaint (3).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7012/155415%20David%20Henderson%20Complaint%20%283%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "155415 Henderson David Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7012/155415%20Henderson%20David%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]10/02/2024 12:31:25 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

C-4 110211450 reflecting contributions deposited on 2/13/24 was also filed 4 months late. C-4 110217351 was filed timely but was missing required description information and was amended on 7/22/24, after the complaint. </li><li>The candidate did not appear on the Primary Election ballot, so the 21-day and 7-day reports were not due for this campaign.

<div>
<div>
<div>The complaint alleges potential violations of <span class="caps">RCW</span> 42.17A.555 though use of position titles and the North Whatcom Fire District logo to support a political campaign.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>10/26/15</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>PDC staff determined there were two separate allegations in the complaint:
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>A) Mr. Salter and Mr. Berkeley used their titles as public employees to support a political campaign by writing letters to the editor; and
</div>
<div>B) Mr. Whitney for using the logo of North Whatcom Fire and Rescue in advertisements supporting his political campaign.
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>PDC staff reviewed the allegations in light of the following statute and rule to determine whether a formal investigation or enforcement action was warranted.
</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>RCW 42.17A.555 prohibits elected officials, their employees, and persons appointed to or employed by a public office or agency from using or authorizing the use of public facilities, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of assisting a candidate’s campaign, or for the promotion of or opposition to any ballot proposition.
</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>WAC 390-05-271 states in part that (1) RCW 42.17A.555 does not restrict the right of any individual to express his or her own personal views concerning, supporting, or opposing any candidate or ballot proposition, if such expression does not involve a use of the facilities of a public office or agency, and (2) that RCW 42.17A.555 does not prevent a public office or agency from making facilities available on a nondiscriminatory, equal access basis for political uses.
</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>PDC staff reviewed the complaint and found the following:
</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>• If no other public facilities are used to author or transmit a campaign statement, PDC staff advises officials that they may reference their titles when supporting or opposing candidates and ballot propositions under RCW 42.17A.555. PDC staff encourages officials to make it clear that they are speaking personally, rather than on behalf of their agency (e.g., “You may recognize me as your mayor, but I’m writing today as your friend and neighbor…”), however any failure to do so does not, by itself, indicate a use of public facilities prohibited by RCW 42.17A.555.
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>• If the campaign obtains an agency logo through a public records request, or simply downloads the logo from the agency’s Web site using a private computer, such use qualifies as an equal-access, nondiscriminatory use of public facilities for campaign purposes, which is allowed under WAC 390-05-271(2).
</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>For the above reasons, the PDC will not be conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this case.

The complaint alleged that Skamania County Democrats, a bona fide county party committee, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign; and (2) RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 for failure to disclose an accurate carry forward balance.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Treasurer Grace D. Cross on behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that although the Skamania County Democrats did submit a small number of campaign reports late ranging from calendar year 2020 forward, many of the expenses were for party building activities, and items not related to any candidate elections. Staff noted that the carry forward balance discrepancies have been addressed.</p><p>Staff found no evidence that the Skamania County Democrats purposely filed late or inaccurate campaign reports in order to conceal its activities from the public or adversely affect the outcome of previous elections.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately file campaign reports dating back from calendar year 2018 forward, including details of in-kind contribution activities, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, the Respondent will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely disclosure of all contributions and expenditures. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Skamania County Democrats to timely and accurately file all required reports of contributions and expenditures including accurate carry forward balances on C-4 reports in future years. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1424090.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "142409 Skamania County Democrats Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6221/142409%20Skamania%20County%20Democrats%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "142409 Skamania County Democrats Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6221/142409%20Skamania%20County%20Democrats%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "142409 Skamania County Democrats Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6221/142409%20Skamania%20County%20Democrats%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/29/2024 08:28:11 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

good-faith errors or omissions and is partially mitigated by the campaign’s 1)
relatively small size; and 2) modest expenditures. We also noted that, but for
a single contribution from Washington Association of Realtors Political Affairs
Council, the Respondent's committee would have qualified for the Mini Reporting option in
2025.</span></li></ul><ul><li>However, the three election-related
expenditures made in March and October of 2025 that were disclosed late on amended
reports filed after the 2025 General Election deprived the public of accurate
and timely information during a time-sensitive period in the campaign, which is
an aggravating factor.</li></ul><p class="MsoNormal"><span>PDC staff have determined that, in this instance, the Respondent's failure to timely and accurately file C-4 and C-3 reports for 2025 does not

The Committee explained that it operates as a new PAC organized under a nonprofit corporate structure, separate from the former Citizens Committee for Bellevue Quality schools, which had been an unincorporated PAC. </div><div>•<span> </span>Bellevue Quality Schools started their campaign with a zero balance. The Committee later reported receiving two contributions totaling $33,262.17 from Citizens Committee for Bellevue Quality Schools, representing the remaining funds from the Committee. </div><div>•<span> </span>After reviewing the response and relevant records, PDC staff found that Citizens Committee for Bellevue Quality Schools and Bellevue Quality Schools were separate committees and the allegations against Bellevue Quality Schools were unfounded, therefore making Citizens Committee for Bellevue Quality Schools the appropriate Respondent. </div><div>•<span> </span>Based on a review of Citizens Committee for Bellevue Quality Schools filings, PDC staff determined the 2022 beginning C-4 report contained incomplete data totaling $3,500.</div><div>•<span> </span>The 2022 campaign contained multiple filing errors that resulted in negative bank balances, most likely due to expenditures being reported before the corresponding contributions were reported.</div><div>•<span> </span>A copy of the complaint was sent to Respondent on January 27, 2026.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Background
and Findings</span></b><span></span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>The Respondent was a candidate for City Council Member for the City of Lake Forest Park in
election year 2025 who registered with the PDC on 5/2/25 and selected the Full
Reporting option. Election records show that the Respondent did not participate in
the Primary Election, advanced to the General Election, and was not
elected to the position sought. The Respondent has no prior warnings or violations
of PDC laws and rules.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>The Respondent's campaign yard signs lacked “Paid for by” or “Sponsored by” and sponsor
address. The inclusion of these elements of sponsor ID on campaign yard
signs is a relatively new requirement, which is partially mitigating. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>The
name of the sponsor was present on the Respondent's signs, which is partially
mitigating, and the public was not deprived of his identity as the
sponsor.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>The Respondent made a good-faith effort to resolve noncompliance by attaching stickers
containing the missing information to his signs as of October 28, 2025.</span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Summary
and Resolution</span></b><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Having
reviewed the complaint and the supporting evidence, PDC staff has determined
that the Respondent appears to have violated RCW 42.17A.320. After consideration of all the
circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purposes of the Fair
Campaign Practices Act. Under WAC 390-37-070, the executive director, at any
time prior to consideration by the Commission, may dismiss a complaint which on
its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a
violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial
compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal
enforcement action is not warranted. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Based
on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with </span><a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=29B.60.020"><span>RCW 29B.60.020(1)</span></a><span> and WAC 390-37-060(1)(d). PDC
staff is reminding the Respondent about the importance of providing full sponsor ID on
political advertising as required. He is expected to comply with PDC statutes
and rules concerning sponsor ID in the future.</span></p>

Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) completed its review of the three complaints
filed by Colleen Sheahan (the “Complainant”) on December 9, 2025.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The
complaints alleged the Nikki Torres (the “Respondent”), a candidate registered with
the PDC for the positions of State Senator in Legislative Districts 8, 15 and 16,
violated RCW 42.17A.205 by failing to timely 1) update, within 10 days of a
material change, her C-1 report (<i>Candidate Registration</i>) and F-1 report
(<i>Personal Financial Affairs Statement</i>); and 2) file a C-1 report for the
Leg. Dist. 15 position. The complaint also alleged that the Respondent violated
RCW 42.17A.490 if contributions raised for one office (Leg. Dist. 16) were used
for a different office (Leg. Dist. 15) after March 2025 without first obtaining
permission from contributors.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Non-compliance
appeared to be the result of a good-faith misunderstanding regarding the
criteria that triggers candidacy for the purpose of registering and reporting
with the PDC, which is partially mitigating. The Respondent's 1) 39-day delay in amending her original C-1 report to reflect a change from LD 15 to </span><span>LD
16 due to redistricting; 2) </span><span>second
C-1 report (for LD 15) filed 245 days late; and 3) F-1 report, filed 4 days
late are partially </span><span>mitigated by the fact that the impact of
noncompliance on the public was minimal because the Respondent took corrective action well
in advance of the 2026 Primary and General Elections.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>PDC staff have determined that, in this instance, the Respondent's failure to timely 1) amend one C-1 report; 2) file a second C-1 report; and 3) file
an F-1 report do not amount to violations that warrant further investigation.</span></p>
<p>However, based on the <b>attached</b> findings and pursuant to <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-37-060">WAC
390-37-060(1)(d)</a>, this
serves as a formal written warning concerning the Respondent's failure to timely and
accurately register and/or update her candidate registrations (C-1 reports),
and timely file her F-1 report. PDC staff expect the Respondent to timely submit and
amend all required C-1 and F-1 reports in the future. The Commission will
consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action
if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p>

The amended reports included additional expenditure detail describing the work performed by Moxie Media for the Committee and included the names of sub-vendors and the number of pieces mailed. For example, C-6 report 11969, filed on July 12, 2023 was amended by C-6 report 12012 on August 31, 2023. The total cost for the original and amended C-6 reports was $7,311.16, in support of Brittany Williams.

The complaint alleged that Kathleen Martin, a candidate for Seattle City Council, Position 6 in the 2019 election, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing expenditures undertaken by the Campaign.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the expenditure error disclosed on the initial submission of the May 2019 C-4 report late reporting was a data entry error as supported by the amendment submitted later the same day. Although staff found that the accurate report was submitted one day late, the correction was available several weeks prior to the 2019 primary election. Staff found no evidence that the reporting error was intentionally made to conceal campaign activity from the public.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately file the May 2019 C-4 report for the 2019 Kathleen Martin Campaign does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Kathleen Martin will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately disclose expenditures for her 2019 Campaign. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Ms. Martin timely and accurately files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1445050.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "144505 Martin Kathleen Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6292/144505%20Martin%20Kathleen%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "144505 Martin Kathleen Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "144505 Martin Kathleen Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6292/144505%20Martin%20Kathleen%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "144505 Martin Kathleen Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6292/144505%20Martin%20Kathleen%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/29/2024 08:43:00 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaint alleged that the Pacific County Democratic Central Committee, a political committee, previously inactive and currently registered with the PDC, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) disclosing a correct carry forward balance; and (2) RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 for failing to include contributor detail for in-kind contributions.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Treasurer Jennifer Manchester on behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the discrepancy in the beginning balance and the omission of the address for vendors used in making in-kind contributions were unintentional and not done to conceal campaign information from the public. The committee has reported detailed information for vendors on current 2023 C-4 reports and has committed to continue to comply with this requirement in the future. Staff found no evidence that the Respondent purposely omitted information. Regarding the beginning balance, staff found that funds were collected prior to the Respondent meeting the definition of a political committee, was not yet required to register and report with the PDC and have since been identified.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to disclose an accurate carry forward balance and failure to include address information for vendors used to make in-kind contributions does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, the Respondent will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely disclosure of an accurate carry forward balance and failure to include the address for vendors used in making in-kind contributions. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Pacific County Democratic Central Committee accurately files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures, including carry forward balances and detailed information regarding in-kind contributions.

Mr. Herrera filed the required F-1 report 19 days late on September 11, 2022 in response to the August 25, 2022 complaint. Mr. Herrera acknowledged his failure to file the F-1 report within 14 days of appointment. He said his “oversight was in no way intended to unreport, but rather overlooked in the haste of an immediate appointment to the Office.”</li><li>On March 19, 2019, Paul Herrera filed a Candidate Registration to become a candidate for the position of City Council Member for the City of Puyallup. On April 17, 2019, Mr. Churchman filed a complaint alleging Mr. Herrera had failed to file the required F-1 report within two weeks of becoming a candidate, or by April 2, 2019, an alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.700. In 2019, Mr. Herrera stated he, “failed to file the F-1 report within 14 days [of becoming a candidate] due to his lack of understanding as a first-time candidate.” On June 24, 2019, the PDC dismissed the complaint but reminded Mr. Herrera about the importance of filing timely and accurate Personal Financial Affairs Statements. The letter reminded Mr. Herrera that he is required to file an F-1 report within 14 days of becoming a candidate. The letter did not explain that this same requirement applies when an individual is appointed to an office or position for which there is an F-1 filing requirement.</li><li>The PDC dismissed the complaint in Case 112035 in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1) and will not be conducting a more formal investigation into these allegations or taking further enforcement action in this matter. However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the PDC issued a formal warning concerning the Respondent’s failure to file a Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1) within 14 days of the date he was appointed to the Pierce County Council. Staff expects Mr. Herrera to file his F-1 Report timely, whether it is the initial report upon an appointment, the report due when he becomes a candidate, or the annual report due by April 15 covering activity for the previous calendar year, in accordance with PDC laws and rules. The Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</li></ul>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1120350.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "112035 Response to Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5542/112035%20Response%20to%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "112035 Herrera Paul Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5542/112035%20Herrera%20Paul%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "112035 Combined Case Closure Letters.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5542/112035%20Combined%20Case%20Closure%20Letters.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/07/2025 04:59:47 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

.25.090, .25.100, and .30.050 for failure to register and report as a political
committee in 2026, accurately register in 2025, and provide sponsor ID on
political advertising in 2026.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The
complaint also alleged that the Respondent failed to file C-3 and C-4 reports
in 2025. However, the Respondent selected the Mini Reporting option for 2025
and was not required to file reports. Two other allegations, which concerned the
use of public facilities to distribute a flyer on parked cars at a school and
claims of being registered/compliant, were dismissed. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>The incorrect election year on the committee's registrations for
2025 appears to be a good-faith error, which has since been remedied. The
impact of this error on the public was minimal because the correct election
year for Propositions 9 and 10 is information that was publicly available elsewhere
(e.g. on the internet). Insufficient sponsor ID on a flyer and the committee’s
Facebook page in 2025 appears to be a good-faith omission that is partially
mitigated by the fact that the identity of the sponsor was apparent. Noncompliance
is further mitigated by the relatively small size of the campaign.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>PDC staff have determined that, in this instance, the Respondent's failure to 1) provide complete sponsor ID in 2025; and 2) enter the correct
election year on their 2025 registrations do not amount to violations that
warrant further investigation.</span></p><p>However, based on the <b>attached </b>findings and pursuant to <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-37-060">WAC
390-37-060(1)(d)</a>, this
serves as a formal written warning concerning the Respondent's failure to 1) include
complete sponsor ID on political advertising in 2025; and 2) accurately
disclose the election year for ballot propositions supported or opposed on
C-1pc reports. Staff expect the committee to include complete sponsor ID in advertising
and provide accurate registration details on C-1pc reports in the future. The
Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further
Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p class="MsoNormal">

violated RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 by failing to timely and accurately file
contribution and expenditure reports, including the failure to properly report
the purpose of expenditures, as required by WAC 390-16-037 and WAC 390-16-205.
The complaint also alleged that the Respondent may have violated RCW
42.17A.445 by using campaign funds for personal use. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PDC staff reviewed the allegations/complaint and found that
there were expenditures made by the Committee either to a vendor or an
individual for which a more detailed explanation or description should have
been provided. However, the staff determined that the Respondent made minor or
ministerial errors which did not materially impact the public interest but
needed to be corrected for the report to be in full compliance with the
requirements of the chapter. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regarding the alleged personal use of campaign funds, the
staff found that the Respondent’s use of campaign fund was consistent with the
PDC guidelines and did not constitute impermissible personal use. As such, this
allegation was dismissed. </p>

They previously served as a Council Member on the Tukwila City Council between 2012 to 2023 and sought reelection in 2025. The Respondent won the election.</p><p class="MsoNormal">• The C-3 Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) report for a deposit on June 10, 2025, report #110291000, showed a deposit of $1,848.59 identified as "transfer from 2019 City Council campaign." The C-3 report for a deposit on July 11, 2025, report #110329840, showed a deposit of $1,888.29, also as a transfer from "2019 Kate4Tukwila Campaign." There did not appear to be enough funds remaining in the 2019 campaign for both of these transfers to occur. Staff inquired about the transfers and the Respondent stated:</p><p class="MsoNormal">At the end of my 2019 campaign for re-election to the Tukwila City Council, I had $3,736.88 remaining in my account. I placed that amount in savings at that time to hold over until I ran for city council again. I did not use any of the funds for my run for Tukwila City Mayor in 2023. When I filed to run for City Council in 2025, I called the Public Disclosure Commission to learn how to transfer that amount to the current campaign. I learned that when data from the 2019 iteration of ORCA had been migrated to the current version. With that, it carried forward an amount of $1,848.59 and the PDC Filing Advisor told me that the remaining $1,888.29 had somehow ended up recorded as "Petty Cash." I never use Petty Cash in my campaigns so something went wrong in the data migration. The PDC Advisor moved the amount we understood as a carry forward to my 2025 campaign. Because I did not need it and was concerned about moving forward with the logistics of my campaign, I left the remaining amount in the savings account. Later in the year, as I was getting ready to close out the campaign, I asked again about the remaining amount. I didn't want to leave it in the 2019 campaign and wanted to be transparent that there was money sitting in my account, so I asked the PDC Advisor what to do about it. He said I could "transfer" the amount to my 2025 campaign, so at least it was accounted for in the latest campaign. I followed the instructions given to move the amount $1,888.29 to the 2025 campaign record. My understanding is that this transfer was correct and no amendment is required.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Based on the technical assistance provided by PDC staff, the allegation is dismissed.</p><p class="MsoNormal">• The 21-day C-4 report, #110319178, was submitted on October 7, 2025, for the period September 1 through 13, 2025, due October 14, 2025. The report incorporated all applicable timely submitted C-3 reports. On the C-4 there is an expenditure identified as paid on October 12, 2025, which was after the date the report was submitted. The Online Reporting of Campaign Activity (ORCA) system is designed to allow a report to be filed early and a future expenditure date entered. PDC staff inquired about the reporting and learned that the expenditure you reported to the Washington State Democratic Central Committee was the exact cost. The reporting did not require amending and the allegation is dismissed.</p><p class="MsoNormal">• The C-3, for a deposit of $25 on October 22, 2025, due October 27, 2025, was submitted thirteen days late on November 9, 2025.</p><p class="MsoNormal">• The 7-day C-4 report, #110329056, was submitted twenty days late on November 17, 2025, for the period October 14 through 27, 2025, due October 28, 2025. The report indicated a $1,429.73 expenditure for printing of a mailer. The expenditure purpose was amended on December 26, 2025, to include the missing number of mailers printed.</p><p class="MsoNormal">• The Post-general C-4 report, #110330975, was submitted timely on November 25, 2025, for the period October 28 through November 30, 2025. The report was amended December 26, 2025, sixteen days after the due date, in order to update the expenditure purpose reporting the number of mailers printed and SMS Text Messages sent.</p><p class="MsoNormal">• The Respondent does not have any previous warnings or violations of PDC requirements within the statute of limitations.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><u>Summary and Resolution</u></p><p class="MsoNormal">In response to the alleged late reporting, the Respondent stated that they thought they had filed the reports timely but after receiving the complaint, realized the reports had not been submitted.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the Respondent received a formal written warning concerning their failure to timely and accurately report contributions and expenditures.

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>In
their response, Respondent explained that Save Our Sammamish is a grassroots,
bipartisan coalition of Sammamish residents formed in spring of 2025. They
stated they are not a political action committee and never have been. In
further statements they conveyed that they are not affiliated with the PAC with
a similar name registered with the PDC and their only expenditures have been
for the website and informational and advocacy signage. They additionally
stated that they have not spent any funds to campaign for or against candidates
or ballot measures. </span></p>

</span></span><span>The
complaint provided an image of a sign that stated, “Vote For the Council who

PDC Case 181453 regarding Andrea Downs</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Dear Andrea Downs:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The
Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) completed its review of the complaint filed by
Margaret Lalor (the “Complainant”) on November 4, 2025, which alleged you
violated <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=29B.30.050">RCW
29B.30.050</a> (formerly RCW 42.17A.320) by failing to provide sponsor identification
(ID) on political advertising (campaign signs) during election year 2025.
Starting on June 6, 2024, sponsor ID is required to be displayed on campaign
yard signs.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Background and Findings</span></b></p>
<ul type="disc"><li><span><span>You </span>were a candidate for reelection
as a School Director for South Whidbey School District 206 in election year
2025 who registered with the PDC on May 18, 2025 and selected the Full Reporting
option. Election records show that you did not participate in the Primary Election,
advanced to the General Election, and were elected to the position sought. You
have no prior warnings or violations of PDC laws and rules. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>In your November 12, 2025
response to the complaint, you indicated your belief that the yard signs lacking
sponsor ID were from your 2021 campaign because you ran unopposed and did
not distribute signs as part of your 2025 campaign. You speculated that
your supporters must have retained the signs and reused them in 2025. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>The signs from 2021 did not
include “Paid for by” or “Sponsored by” and sponsor address. However, your
name as the sponsor was present. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>According to her September 19,
2025 Facebook post, candidate Ann Johnson and another, unidentified supporter
</span><span>held up your old signs at one of Ms.
Johnson’s sign-waving events. The Complainant, who submitted two photos
with her complaint, said she obtained one photo from the 9/19/25 Facebook
post and the other (roadside) photo from an unnamed source in early
November 2025. The Complainant said she did not personally see the
Respondent’s sign by the side of the road.</span></li><li class="MsoNormal">You indicated you were unable
to remedy the missing sponsor ID on your signs because 1) you did not
personally see any of your old signs displayed and did not know they were being
used; 2) you were not aware of the new sponsor ID requirement until late
September 2025; 3) you did not know who had retained signs from 2021 or where
they were located; and 4) the sign-waving event occurred before either you or
candidate Johnson became aware of the sponsor ID requirement. You stated, to
the best of your knowledge, Ms. Johnson discontinued use of the 2021 sign after
learning it was noncompliant.</li></ul>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><span> </span><b><span>Summary and Resolution</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Missing sponsor ID on your signs is partially mitigated
by the facts that 1) the inclusion of “Paid for by” or “Sponsored by” and
sponsor address is a relatively new requirement; and 2) the public was not deprived
of your identity as the sponsor.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>PDC staff have determined that the missing
sponsor ID does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation<a name="_Hlk532386121">.</a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>However, PDC staff are reminding you about the importance
of including sponsor identification on political advertising (campaign signs) in
the future in accordance with the PDC laws, rules or guidance.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Based
on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with </span><a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=29B.60.020"><span>RCW 29B.60.020(1)</span></a><span>.</span></p>

PDC Case 181459 regarding Tracy Murphy</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Dear Tracy Murphy:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Th</span>e Public Disclosure
Commission (PDC) completed its review of the complaint filed by Brittany A.
Miller-Voie (the “Complainant”) on November 11, 2025, which alleged you
violated <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=29B.30.050">RCW
29B.30.050</a> (formerly
RCW 42.17A.320) by failing to provide sponsor identification (ID) on political
advertising (campaign signs) for election year 2026. Starting on June 6, 2024,
sponsor ID is required to be displayed on campaign signs.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Background and Findings </span></b></p>
<ul type="disc"><li>You are 2026 candidate for election
to the position of Lewis County Sheriff who registered with the PDC on May 20,
2025 under the campaign name Citizens for Tracy Murphy. You have no prior
warnings or violations of PDC laws and rules.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>In your November 15, 2025 written
response to the complaint, you indicated that 1) you distributed several
campaign signs throughout the county when you ran for Sheriff in 2022; 2) the
signs given to property owners became their legal property; and 3) some owners
chose to keep their signs. After the 2022 campaign, you collected the signs
located on public property, rights of way, and private property (with the owner’s
permission). However, you said it’s possible there may still be additional
signs from 2022 on private property that you have no legal right to access
or change, although you would make every effort to contact the owners and
obtain permission to remedy such signs. You stated that you contacted the
PDC in 2025 to confirm campaign sign requirements and were informed that any
signs reused for your 2026 campaign would need to be updated to include
sponsor ID and you subsequently ordered new signs for 2026 and stickers containing
sponsor ID, which you used to update older signs. Nonetheless, in October of
2025, you discovered two signs from your 2022 campaign located on private
property marked with “No Trespassing” signs on Jackson Highway, contacted
the property owner, and were subsequently granted permission to add
stickers to the signs, one of which was alleged in the complaint. Attached
to your response were photographs showing that the signs on Jackson
Highway were updated to include sponsor ID.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>On November 18, 2025, you provided
a copy of an email showing you were in communication with a printer
regarding stickers prior to the complaint being filed.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>The signs from 2022 did not
include a “Paid for by” or “Sponsored by” statement and sponsor address.
However, your name as the sponsor was present. </span></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <b>Summary and Resolution</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>Missing sponsor ID on the signs located on Jackson Highway,
which has since been remedied, is partially mitigated by the following facts: 1)
the inclusion of a “Paid for by” or “Sponsored by” statement and sponsor
address is a relatively new requirement; 2) the public was not deprived of your
identity as the sponsor; 3) you made a good-faith effort to address missing
sponsor ID on repurposed signs by adding stickers; and 4) the signs were
remedied well in advance of the 2026 election. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>PDC staff have determined that the missing
sponsor ID does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation<a name="_Hlk532386121">.</a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>However, PDC staff are reminding you about the importance
of including sponsor identification on political advertising (campaign signs) in
the future in accordance with the PDC laws, rules or guidance.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Based
on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with </span><a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=29B.60.020"><span>RCW 29B.60.020(1)</span></a><span>.</span></p>

Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><p>• Citizens for Kent Schools is a continuing political committee that selected the Full Reporting Option.</p><p>• One complaint was filed alleging late reporting, with a C-3 and a C-4 report that was due June 10, 2024 having been filed 98 days late on September 16, 2024.</p><p>• RCW 42.17A.235 describes the required filing deadlines for disclosure of campaign finance activities including monetary contributions.</p><p>• RCW 42.17A.240 requires committees to file accurate campaign finance reports with the Public Disclosure Commission.</p><p>• The Respondent acknowledges that they filed the reports in question late. According the response provided by the Respondent, this was due to the committee Treasurer having to deal with personal family matters that he had to attend to in addition to their filing duties.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Citizens for Kent Schools will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely disclosure of all contribution and expenditures. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Citizens for Kent Schools timely files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures.

Staff noted that page three of the newsletter included a table of the two fire districts that provided a comprehensive comparison and summary of the two fire districts. The factual information about Chelan County Fire District #1 and Douglas County Fire District #2 in the table included the personnel and volunteer staffing levels, budget and financing information, levy rates and dollar amounts generated, demographic and other relevant information for both fire districts. </p><p>Mr. Snure stated in his response, that on April 26, 2022, the Fire Commissioners of the two fire districts “approved a Joint Resolution placing a ballot measure on the August 2, 2022, Primary election ballot. The ballot measure asks the voters whether they will approve the formation of the Wenatchee Valley Fire Department to be organized and operated as a regional fire protection service authority under Chapter 52.26 RCW ‘RFA Ballot Measure.’” </p><p>Mr. Snure stated that both fire districts used the newsletter format to communicate and “educate its citizens on matters affecting the Fire Districts.” In 2021, the Fire Districts published their first joint newsletter following an administrative consolidation that took place between the two districts. (See Exhibit F to Brian Brett Declaration). Chief Brett is currently the Fire Chief for both fire districts. </p><p>Mr. Snure stated that on or about June 1, 2022, the two fire districts “used public resources to print and mail the Spring 2022 Newsletter to 34,345 Fire District residents” in both districts. He stated that the “printing and distribution of the 2022 Spring Newsletter complied with the above rules as it was a single jurisdiction-wide objective and fair presentation of the facts regarding the RFA ballot measure…” </p><p>Mr. Snure stated that the newsletter was distributed by the “normal and regular means of communicating with the residents” of both districts, and added the complaint failed to “identify any specific language in the 2022 Spring Newsletter that asks voters to vote yes.” He stated that the complainant merely referenced the 2022 Spring Newsletter and made “the conclusory unsupported statement that the newsletter is ‘Supporting a yes vote for August 2, 2022, Primary.’” </p><p>Mr. Snure stated the “text of the 2022 Spring Newsletter is factual and objective,” did not ask citizens or voters to “vote yes,” explained that both districts placed the ballot measure on the ballot, and the reasons the Fire Commissioners of the two districts placed the merger measure on the ballot. He stated that the “language used in the Article is neutral, objective and nonemotional” and added that the “only language that could possibly cause concern is the closing comment: “Thank you for supporting your Fire Districts!” </p><p>Mr. Snure stated when that statement is “read out of context” he supposed it could be construed as asking voters to support the ballot measure but added that Chief Brett “consistently ends his Chief comments in newsletters with this phrase.” He noted that was not Chief Brett’s intent in this instance. He stated Chief Brett was the primary drafter of the newsletter, that the newsletter “was not submitted to the fire commissioners prior to publication”, and he “did not seek legal review as he believed the content complied with the PDC rules.” </p><p>Mr. Snure stated that if the proposed merger plan is approved at the August 2, 2022, primary election, “the combined fire districts will be placing a levy lid lift measure on the November 2022 general election ballot.” Finally, Mr. Snure stated that neither the Chelan County Fire District #1 and Douglas County Fire District #2 were involved in the production of the yard signs for the allegation listed in the complaint, and no public funds were used in relation to the signs in question. </p><p>It appears that the Chelan County Fire District #1 and Douglas County Fire District #2 created factual information regarding the August 2, 2022, merger ballot proposition and disseminated it in a manner consistent with the “normal and regular” conduct of the two districts. </p><p>Based on our findings that include that an administrative consolidation that took place between the Chelan County Fire District #1 and Douglas County Fire District #2 in 2021, and Fire Chief Brian Brett is the current Chief for both districts, staff has determined that, in this instance, the use of public funds to create and disseminate information about the proposed merger of the two districts appearing on the August 2, 2022, primary election ballot was allowable, and no evidence supports a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation. However, PDC staff is reminding officials of Chelan County Fire District #1 and Douglas County Fire District #2 about the importance of limiting the content of any information produced by the two districts regarding any future ballot propositions to factual information in accordance with the statutes, rules and PDC Interpretation No. 04-02. </p><p>Staff noted that the statements: (1) “We have this opportunity because of the amazing vision and planning of our past Fire Commissioners, Fire Chiefs, Volunteers, and personnel”; (2) “Our ability to recruit Volunteer Firefighters will increase because the opportunity for training and participation will double as a combined organization”; and (3) “the added opportunities for Volunteer Firefighters will help with retention” were more opinion than factual statements. </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1100570.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "110057 Chelan - Douglas Co FD Merger Election- Complainant Return Letter (Respondent).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5361/110057%20Chelan%20-%20Douglas%20Co%20FD%20Merger%20Election-%20Complainant%20Return%20Letter%20%28Respondent%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Reminder"}, {"file_name" : "Chelan -Douglas FD Response (Miller) PDC Case 110057.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5361/Chelan%20-Douglas%20FD%20Response%20%28Miller%29%20PDC%20Case%20110057.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "110057 Officials of Douglas Co FD 2 and Chelan Co FD 1 Compliant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5361/110057%20Officials%20of%20Douglas%20Co%20FD%202%20and%20Chelan%20Co%20FD%201%20Compliant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Fire Chief Brian Brett Delcaration-attached documents (Miller) PDC Case 110057.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5361/Fire%20Chief%20Brian%20Brett%20Delcaration-attached%20documents%20%28Miller%29%20PDC%20Case%20110057.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/02/2022 11:19:38 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The complaint alleged that the 19 named respondents may have violated RCW 42.17A.495 and WAC 390-17-100 for failure to maintain copies of payroll deduction authorizations for public inspection, deducting employee wages for contributions to political committees without first obtaining proper employee authorization forms, and for failure to allow employees to determine the amount of their wages to deduct for contributions to political committees on employee authorization forms. <br>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes and rules; and a response provided by Wayne Gold Jr. on behalf of Doubl-Kold to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. <br><br>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, no evidence supports a finding of a violation warranting further investigation. The PDC’s action was taken because Freedom Foundation did not submit evidence of violations obtained from individual employers/contractors. <br><br>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). The PDC’s action does not preclude Freedom Foundation from contacting individual employers/contractors and refiling a complaint based on evidence obtained from individual employers/contractors. </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/518180.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "51818 Washington Building Trades (2) Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3054/51818%20Washington%20Building%20Trades%20%282%29%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}, {"file_name" : "51818 Washington Building Trades (2) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3054/51818%20Washington%20Building%20Trades%20%282%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]06/03/2019 06:24:04 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

(CY '23, Aug '23)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningPolitical Committee - Local Issue<p>A complaint was filed against Committee for the Methow Aquatic Center Sponsored by Friends of the Pool, a local ballot measure committee registered with the PDC in 2023, alleging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file contribution and expenditure reports during 2023, including the disclosure of debts, obligations and orders placed. </p><p>On April 5, 2023, the Committee for the Methow Aquatic Center, Sponsored by Friends of the Pool (Committee) filed a Committee Registration with the PDC registering as a continuing committee for 2023, selecting the Full Reporting option, and listing Justin Porter as Chairperson, Sarah Shrock as Vice-Chairperson, Kellie Zahn as Committee Manager, Jess Bonn as Media Contact, and Jessica Kuzma as Treasurer. </p><p>As a continuing political committee, the Committee was required to file monthly C-3 and C-4 reports by the 10th of the month, for contribution and expenditure activities undertaken in the prior calendar month, and for the accelerated reporting requirements once the local ballot measure was approved for the November 7, 2023, general election ballot.</p><p>On August 15, 2023, the Committee filed two C-3 reports and two C-4 reports, disclosing contribution and expenditure activities undertaken by the Committee since its inception, which were not timely filed. Those reports included: (1) the initial C-3 report which disclosed that on May 12, 2023, the Committee received a $10,000 contribution from the Friends of the Pool, in Twisp, WA that was deposited into the Committee bank account on May 12, 2023; (2) an initial C-4 report covering the period May 1 through 31, 2023, disclosing the $10,000 contribution that was deposited on May 12, 2023, and listing $143.31 in small, non-itemized expenditures; (3) a C-3 report disclosing that on June 20, 2023, the Committee received a $100 contribution that was reported as an un-itemized small contribution from one person, that was deposited on June 20, 2023; and (4) a C-4 report covering the period June 1 through July 31, 2023, disclosing the $100 monetary contribution that was deposited on June 20, 2023, and listing $5,600.49 in total Committee expenditures made during the period. </p><p>The expenditures included a $5,000 Committee payment made to Pacifica Law Group on June 6, 2023, with the following description “Accounting, legal, regulatory compliance, etc.: Expenses include phone conversation, emails with law group to advise on formation of rec district and drafting of materials. Total hours = 11.9.” The C-4 report also disclosed a $484.80 expenditure was made to Sticker Mule on June 23, 2023, for Campaign merchandise/paraphernalia: 1,000 stickers @$131/250, + sales tax/shipping, and $115.69 in small, non-itemized expenditures, with a $4,357.20 cash on hand balance as of July 31, 2023.</p><p>The Committee has timely filed both the August 2023 C-4 report and the 21-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report disclosing contribution and expenditure activities undertaken by the Committee, as well as the required weekly C-3 reports for a ballot committee that is supporting a measure appearing on the November 7, 2023 general election ballot.</p><p>Ms. Kuzma stated that as Committee Treasurer, she was the person responsible for filing the C-3 and C-4 reports, and that the “late filings and failure to accurately disclose debt were an oversight on my part.” She stated that as a “volunteer and first-time treasurer on a PAC, I can attest that the violations were a result of my inexperience” using the Online Reporting of Campaign Activities (ORCA) campaign finance filing software provided by the PDC. She stated that the “oversights were neither nefarious nor malicious in nature and were not intended to deceive the public about debts accrued by the Committee.”</p><p>Ms. Kuzma stated the Committee is an all-volunteer group who are serving on a PAC for the first time, and that the Committee just formed in May of 2023 to attempt to place a local measure on the November 2023 ballot. She stated the Committee’s “goal is to ask voters whether they will support the formation of a Metropolitan Park District (MPD), a taxing district to fund operations for an Aquatics Center in the Methow Valley.” She stated most of the Committee’s time during the summer of 2023 was spent on developing the ballot measure language and gathering the required “signatures from registered voters in the district to allow the measure to appear on the ballot.”</p><p>Ms. Kuzma stated that during that timeframe, the Committee “sought council from Pacifica Law Group, a firm specializing in drafting interlocal agreements, reviewing requirements for MPD board formation, and advising on levy limits and banked capacity.” She stated the firm provided the Committee with consultation beginning in May of 2023, and the first invoice was sent to the Committee was dated June 6, 2023. She stated the Committee opened the bank account on May 12, 2023, with funds received from our sponsor Friends of the Pool. She stated that for the months of June and July of 2023, the “Committee prioritized petition-gathering activities, knowing that if we didn’t reach the signature limit of registered voters, the ballot measure would not be eligible to appear on the ballot.”</p><p>Ms. Kuzma stated that on July 25, 2023, the Committee “received official word from Okanogan County elections that our petition received sufficient signatures and would be placed on the November 2023 ballot.” She stated that on August 15, 2023, she “filed (the then overdue) C-4 reports for June and July.” She stated that on the June 2023 Committee C-4 report she “reported the expenditure for the Pacifica Law group (invoice date June 6, 2023) instead of reporting it as debt in May 2023, when the services were provided.” She acknowledged this was an oversight on her part “due to my unfamiliarity” with the ORCA filing software and the report due dates.</p><p>Ms. Kuzma stated: “I now understand that such services must be reported at the time they are provided. In closing, I take responsibility for these violations and assure you that they were mistakes made without malicious intent. Thank you for considering the circumstances of our newly formed Committee, uncertainty at our formation about whether our measure would appear on the ballot, and the inexperience of a first-time PAC treasurer with navigating the filing system.” She stated that in the future, all contribution and expenditure activities will be filed on time, and “I will ensure any debts are reported in alignment with dates of services rendered.”</p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any further enforcement action in this instance. As noted in the letter, the Committee is newly formed with a first-time Treasurer and other first-time officers in a relatively small jurisdiction, who have acknowledged being unfamiliar with the committee reporting requirements, the ORCA filing software, and having filed incorrectly.</p><p>In accordance with WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), PDC staff is issuing a formal written warning to the Committee for the Methow Aquatic Center, Sponsored by Friends of the Pool concerning the requirement to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports for the remainder of the 2023 election cycle, and for any future efforts to support a local ballot measure including the disclosure of debts, obligations and orders placed. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws/rules. </p><p>The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1416670.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Committee for the Methow Aquatic Center Warning Ltr (PDC Case 141667).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6126/Committee%20for%20the%20Methow%20Aquatic%20Center%20Warning%20Ltr%20%28PDC%20Case%20141667%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "141667 Committee for the Methow Aquatic Ctr Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6126/141667%20Committee%20for%20the%20Methow%20Aquatic%20Ctr%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Methow Vally Aquatic Center PAC Response (Morgan) PDC Case 141667.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6126/Methow%20Vally%20Aquatic%20Center%20PAC%20Response%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20Case%20141667.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]10/31/2023 03:41:40 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(May 19)WAC 390-17-100, RCW 29B.40.230/42.17A.495Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsEmployer Payroll<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed by the Freedom Foundation on May 20, 2019. The complaint alleged that the 19 named respondents may have violated RCW 42.17A.495 and WAC 390-17-100 for failure to maintain copies of payroll deduction authorizations for public inspection, deducting employee wages for contributions to political committees without first obtaining proper employee authorization forms, and for failure to allow employees to determine the amount of their wages to deduct for contributions to political committees on employee authorization forms. <br>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes and rules; and a response provided by Wayne Gold Jr. on behalf of Doubl-Kold to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. <br><br>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, no evidence supports a finding of a violation warranting further investigation. The PDC’s action was taken because Freedom Foundation did not submit evidence of violations obtained from individual employers/contractors. <br><br>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). The PDC’s action does not preclude Freedom Foundation from contacting individual employers/contractors and refiling a complaint based on evidence obtained from individual employers/contractors. </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/518190.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "51819 Williams Plant Services (2) Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3055/51819%20Williams%20Plant%20Services%20%282%29%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}, {"file_name" : "51819 Williams Plant Services (2) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3055/51819%20Williams%20Plant%20Services%20%282%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]06/03/2019 06:24:41 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

(EY22; Aug22)WAC 390-18-040Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsCandidate - Legislative<p>This complaint alleged that John Lovick, an appointed State Senator for Legislative District 44 – Senate and candidate for this same position in election year 2022, may have violated <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-18-040">WAC 390-18-040</a> by using the term “Re-elect” on political advertising, specifically campaign yard signs.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and evidence submitted; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; and the response provided by the Respondent to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>John Lovick (the “Respondent”) is currently serving as State Senator of Legislative District 44 – Senate. His term began on December 15, 2021.</li><li>The Respondent is a candidate for the position of State Senator for Legislative District 44 – Senate in election year 2022. He participated in the Primary Election and has proceeded to the General Election. The Respondent’s campaign, Committee for John Lovick, registered with the PDC on November 17, 2021 and selected the Full Reporting option.</li><li>WAC 390-18-040 is a rule that sets forth when the terms “Reelect,” “Retain” and “Return” can be used in advertisements to represent that a candidate has previously held an office, whether it was by election or appointment, and whether they are presently holding the office as the incumbent. </li><li>In his response to the allegation, the Respondent indicated that campaign yard signs containing the term “Re-elect” were posted by supporters and volunteers for his State Senate candidacy in election year 2022. The Respondent stated that the campaign signs were re-circulated from a previous campaign, with stickers attached updating the position sought. However, the campaign admitted they neglected to cover up the “Re” in the term “Re-elect” on the repurposed signs.</li><li>The Respondent provided images of a flyer, mailer, digital ad, and printouts from his candidate website showing that the term “Elect” was “prominently displayed” therein. These images were provided to the PDC to illustrate that the use of the term “Re-elect” on the re-circulated yard signs was an “anomaly” and neither intentional nor widespread. The Respondent also offered to place stickers over the term “Re-elect” on his campaign signs if the PDC deems it necessary. </li><li>The rule concerning usage of the term “Reelect” set forth in WAC 390-18-040 is based upon <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.335">RCW 42.17A.335(1)(b)</a>, which prohibits the sponsoring of political advertising that falsely represents a candidate is the incumbent for the office sought when in fact the candidate is not the incumbent. To find a violation of .335, staff must prove the statement constituted libel or defamation and was made with actual malice. However, the Legislature specifically indicated in subsection (3) that it is not a violation for a candidate or their agent to make statements described in subsection (1)(b) about the candidate himself or herself because a person cannot defame himself or herself. </li><li>The Respondent does not have previous warnings or violations with the PDC regarding RCW 42.17A.335 or WAC 390-18-040.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, no evidence supports a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1128140.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "112814 Lovick John Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5560/112814%20Lovick%20John%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "112814 Lovick John Response 10 10 2022.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5560/112814%20Lovick%20John%20Response%2010%2010%202022.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "112814 Lovick John Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5560/112814%20Lovick%20John%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]10/17/2022 08:41:36 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

(EY '22; Sept '22)RCW 29B.30.050/42.17A.320Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Legislative<p>A complaint was filed against Michelle Darnell, a candidate for State Senator in the 48th Legislative District in 2022, alleging a violation of RCW 42.17A.320 by sponsoring political advertising that failed to include the complete sponsor identification on a website paid for by the Campaign.</p><p>On January 13, 2022, Michelle Darnell registered with the PDC as a candidate for State Senator in the 48th Legislative District, selecting the Full Reporting option and listing Louis Bacigalupi as the Ministerial Treasurer. </p><p>The complaint included a copy of screen shot of the “Patty Did That” website homepage, that included the following sponsor identification at the bottom of the page “2022 Patty Did That | Paid for by Ignite Foundation LLC, Kirkland WA 98033-6108.” The webpage header stated: “Her Words, Her Record”, followed by “Patty Kuderer is a Washington State Senator Serving in the 48th Legislative District” and included three bullet points and the last bullet point stated “For alternatives, check out Michelle Darnell at ElectMichelleDarnell.com” </p><p>Ms. Darnell stated in her responses that the sponsor identification on the Patty Did That website included Ignite Foundation LLC as the sponsor, “since the campaign did not pay money for the site, it seemed like listing Ignite as the sponsor was the most accurate. Our IT director/webmaster with Ignite volunteered to build the page and did not charge the campaign to do it.” </p><p>Ms. Darnell stated that it seemed like Ignite should have been listed as the sponsor, since her “campaign did not pay specifically for that website. The Ignite webmaster just built it for free.” She estimated the total value of the services for the Patty Did That website totaled $500 which included the Domain name, URL, and website content, and stated that her Campaign would be reporting the website costs as an in-kind contribution on the next C-4 report from her “business partner of Ignite…our IT Director and webmaster.”</p><p>Based on our findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, no evidence was found to support the finding of a violation or that would warrant any further investigation. </p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the PDC is issuing a formal written warning to Michelle Darnell concerning the requirement to include the sponsor identification on political advertising sponsored by her Campaign, including the words “Paid for” or “Sponsored by the Michelle Darnell Campaign” followed by the complete mailing address. The formal written warning resolves this allegation and includes staff’s expectation that Michelle Darnell will include the correct sponsor identification on all future political advertisements sponsored by her Campaign, including for political advertising. </p><p>The warning is for providing the sponsor identification on Campaign websites, including those in which the domain name is paid for, and the work is performed by a third party, and would need to state “Sponsored by the Michelle Darnell Campaign” followed by the complete mailing address. Michelle Darnell will be advised that the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action, should there be future violations of PDC laws or rules. </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1128690.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Michelle Darnell email response to complaint (Fertakis) PDC Case 112869.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5564/Michelle%20Darnell%20email%20response%20to%20complaint%20%28Fertakis%29%20PDC%20Case%20112869.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Darnell, Michelle Complaint Return Letter with warning (Fertakis) PDC Case 112869.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5564/Darnell%2C%20Michelle%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20with%20warning%20%28Fertakis%29%20PDC%20Case%20112869.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "112869 Darnell Michelle Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5564/112869%20Darnell%20Michelle%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "112869 Darnell Michelle Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]05/20/2024 12:35:18 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Nowels is speaking about his support of Reichert from his county office and is shown in uniform. Nowels stated in response to the complaint that he “personally own every part of the uniform displayed in that video” and “was using my personal phone and my privately paid cellular service” when recording the video.</p><p>In his response to the complaint, Nowels also stated he “did record the video inside my private office inside the Spokane County Public Safety Building,” although he “attempted to ensure that all of the plaques and memorabilia in the backdrop were all owned by me, and there was nothing in the backdrop that indicated it was county property or a government office.”</p><p>Nowels does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</p><p>Based on the above review, the staff has determined that, in this instance, the circumstances do not support a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation. However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Nowels will receive a formal written warning concerning the use of public facilities/resources to support a political candidate. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>PDC staff finds that no further action is warranted in this matter and has dismissed your complaints in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1)(a).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1500850.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "150085 Nowels John Complaint 1.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6417/150085%20Nowels%20John%20Complaint%201.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "PDC Case 150085 John Nowels response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6417/PDC%20Case%20150085%20John%20Nowels%20response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "PDC Case 150085 John Nowels closed with warning.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6417/PDC%20Case%20150085%20John%20Nowels%20closed%20with%20warning.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "150085 Nowels John Complaint 3.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6417/150085%20Nowels%20John%20Complaint%203.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "150085 Nowels John Complaint 2.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6417/150085%20Nowels%20John%20Complaint%202.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]05/07/2024 01:08:00 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The contribution voucher/receipt shows Representative Beth Doglio’s home address, email/phone number, occupation as “Consultant” and employer as “Self,” and noted that… “The WSDC received a $1,250 contribution through the credit card processor called ActBlue on 12/9/2022 (see next page for receipt). This contribution appeared to be from Beth Doglio and was reported with the information provided by the donor. We have since confirmed with Ms. Doglio that the contribution was made through surplus fund, and we have amended the C3 report.”</p><p>Staff noted that the Committee reported the contribution based on the information it had at the time the contribution was received from Representative Doglio.</p><p>On September 6, 2023, the Committee amended its December 9, 2022, C-3 report, to accurately report the source of the contribution/contributor’s name as coming from Representative Doglio’s surplus funds account.</p><p>Regarding the allegation about duplicate C-3 filing, the Committee stated: “It does appear that this C3 report was filed twice to the PDC. The WSDC received confirmation for report number 110132609 totaling $6910.

The employer/contractors rely on the union to provide an authorization form that complies with the law and rules. Staff made it clear what changes need to be made to the written authorization and annual notification.

The mailer stated: "The <strong>ONLY</strong> Candidate Endorsed by Local Democrats, Unions, and Advocates for Safe, Green, and Affordable Communities", included the words "Sole Endorsements!" followed by a list of what appears to be nine unions, political party organizations, and other entities that endorsed Mr. Stearns candidacy. </p><p>The complainant stated that Shukri Olow, Mr. Stearns general election opponent, was also “endorsed by unions, local democrats, and advocates for safe, green, and affordable communities.” The complaint further stated that the Washington State Labor Council, One America Votes, the Alliance for Gun Responsibility, The Washington Conservation Voters, and Humane Voters of Washington endorsed both Ms. Olow and Mr. Stearns. </p><p>Mr. Stearns stated in his responses that “In the mailer provided by Mr. Simpson the 47th District Democrats and King County Democrats are highlighted as sole endorsements on my mail piece. That is accurate as my opponent did not secure the support of either organization.” He stated that his campaign “earned the sole endorsement of the 47th (local) District Democrats and the King County Democrats. In the mailer referenced, only those two logos appear under the words 'Sole Endorsement'.” </p><p>Mr. Stearns stated that to the best of his Campaign’s knowledge, the Washington State Labor Council, One America Votes, the Alliance for Gun Responsibility, The Washington Conservation Voters, or the Humane Voters of Washington, all offered a dual endorsement for both his Campaign and Ms. Olow’s. He stated that “In retrospect, we could have been more clear by replacing local with 47th District Democrats so it read the ONLY candidate endorsed by 47th District Democrats, Unions, and Advocates for Safe, Green and Affordable Communities.”</p><p>Mr. Stearns stated that his Campaign mailer did not claim they had the sole endorsement of the Washington State Labor Council, One America Votes, the Alliance for Gun Responsibility, The Washington Conservation Voters, or the Humane Voters of Washington. However, staff noted as part of the review that the mailer failed to highlight or indicate both Mr. Stearns and Ms. Olow received a dual endorsement from the five organizations listed in the mailer. The recipients of the mailer may have been led to believe that the statement about sole endorsements applied to all organizations listed in the mailer.</p><p>Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.335, it is a violation to sponsor with actual malice a political ad that contains a statement constituting libel or defamation per se if the statement: (1) directly or indirectly implies a candidate has the support or endorsement of any person or organization when the candidate does not have such support; (2) is a false statement of material fact about a candidate, or (3) falsely represents that a candidate is the incumbent office holder.<br><br>Libel or defamation per se for the purposes of that section means “statements that tend (a) to expose a living person to hatred, contempt, ridicule, or obloquy, or to deprive him or her of the benefit of public confidence or social intercourse, or to injure him or her in his or her business or occupation, or (b) to injure any person, corporation, or association in her, his, or its business or occupation.” Actual malice is defined by RCW 42.17A.005(1) as “to act with knowledge of falsity or with reckless disregard as to truth or falsity.”</p><p>Based on our findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, no evidence was found to support the finding of a violation or that would warrant any further investigation. </p><p>While the Chris Stearns Campaign did not indicate in the political advertisement that both candidates received a dual endorsement from the Washington State Labor Council, One America Votes, the Alliance for Gun Responsibility, The Washington Conservation Voters, or the Humane Voters of Washington, in this instance, staff found no evidence of knowledge of falsity or reckless disregard of the truth on the part of the Campaign concerning the statement made about the endorsements. </p><p>PDC staff reminded Chris Stearns about the importance of making it clear on all future political advertising when his candidacy has received a dual endorsement, and to properly communicate that statement and information in the advertisement. </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1138920.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "113892 Stearns Christopher Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5610/113892%20Stearns%20Christopher%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Stearns, Chris Complaint Return (PDC Case 113892).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5610/Stearns%2C%20Chris%20Complaint%20Return%20%28PDC%20Case%20113892%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Reminder"}, {"file_name" : "Stearns, Chris Email Response to Complaint (Simpson) PDC Case 113892.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5610/Stearns%2C%20Chris%20Email%20Response%20to%20Complaint%20%28Simpson%29%20PDC%20Case%20113892.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]12/13/2022 10:20:55 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

Boyce has soundly denounced the false endorsement claim and the ideological assumptions drawn from it. Unchecked, these claims on Boyce’s campaign and character stand to inflict damage on Boyce – as a candidate and an individual. This is unfair, unjust, and unacceptable.” </p><p>The public website maintained by The Family Policy Institute of Washington (FPIW) lists all its endorsed candidates for office. Staff noted that Bill Boyce is listed on the public website maintained by FPIW as an endorsed candidate, along with other candidates endorsed by FPIW. From the review of the attachments you provided with the complaint, there is no evidence that Ms. Kauffman claimed or stated that Mr. Boyce wanted and/or accepted the endorsement of FPIW. Ms. Kauffman simply stated in her email to prospective voters that Mr. Boyce was endorsed by FPIW based on the fact that his name appears on the endorsement page of the public website maintained by FPIW.</p><p>In her response to your complaint, Ms. Kauffman stated: “The complaint alleging that I was in violation of RCW 42.17A.335(1)(a) is easily disprovable. Rachel Jo Elliott claims that the Family Policy Institute of Washington has never endorsed Bill Boyce, however they present no evidence of that statement.

Your complaint alleged that Gary Cronce, incumbent City of Shelton Mayor, may have violated RCW 42.17A.555 by using his city owned computer, email address and time as Mayor, to send and receive emails soliciting campaign contributions for his 2015 mayoral campaign and campaign contributions for the 2015 city commissioner campaign of Kathleen McDowell.</p><p>Gary Cronce completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) and paid a $450 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging three (3) violations of RCW 42.17A.555, two related to this complaint and one related to PDC Case 26474. The penalty assessed was based on: (1) a $300 penalty, $150 each for the two acknowledged violations of RCW 42.17A.555 for using his city owned computer, email address, and his time to solicit campaign contributions for his 2015 Mayoral campaign, and for soliciting campaign contributions for the 2015 City Commissioner campaign of Kathleen McDowell; and (2) a $150 penalty for the acknowledged violation of RCW 42.17A.555 for advocating for votes in opposition to Proposition 1 during the October 16, 2017 regular City Commission public meeting.</p><p>While the email solicitations made by Mayor Cronce for his 2015 Mayoral Campaign, and for the 2015 City Commissioner Campaign of Kathleen McDowell, were not permitted under RCW 42.17A.555, Mayor Cronce’s response indicates that his activity was limited in nature and a result of his limited knowledge regarding the specific prohibitions under RCW 42.17A.555. However, PDC staff reminded Mayor Cronce about the prohibitions and restrictions found in RCW 42.17A.555 and to be sure to follow them in the future. </p><p>Based on this information, and the resolution via SOU, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).<br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/27470450.000.000.00450.000.00false[{"file_name" : "27470 Cronce Gary (2) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/655/27470%20Cronce%20Gary%20%282%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "27470 Cronce Gary (2) Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "27470 Notice of Formal Investigation.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/655/27470%20Notice%20of%20Formal%20Investigation.pdf", "description" : "27470 Notice of Formal Investigation.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "27470 Cronce Gary (2) Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/655/27470%20Cronce%20Gary%20%282%29%20Response.pdf", "description" : "27470 Cronce Gary (2) Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "27470 Cronce Gary Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/655/27470%20Cronce%20Gary%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Cronce_Statement of Understanding.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/655/Cronce_Statement%20of%20Understanding.pdf", "description" : "Statement of Understanding_Cronce", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}][{"who" : "Gary Cronce", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2019-08-28", "amount" : 450.00, "description" : "Resolved Through Statement of Understanding", "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2019-08-01", "amount" : 450.00, "description" : "Resolved Through Statement of Understanding"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]08/14/2019 09:53:21 AMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

The complaint alleged that Deece Casillas, a candidate for Mayor in the City of Spokane in the 2023 election, may have violated RCW 42.17A.700 for failure to file the Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) within two weeks of becoming a candidate.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; queried the Respondent’s status as a candidate appearing on the 2023 ballot; and examined other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Mr. Casillas is a first-time candidate and has no prior violations. It appears that when he submitted the C-1 report in August 2020, that his intent was to run in the 2023 and believed that he had completed the required paperwork.

Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) completed its investigation of the complaint
filed by Glen Morgan on October 24, 2023 and the complaint filed by Conner
Edwards on December 25, 2025. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span>Summary
and Resolution</span></u><u><span></span></u></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span>Prior
to the initial complaint, Jeffrey Kruk, the new and current treasurer for Public
School Employees of Washington PAC, discovered reporting errors made by the
previous treasurer, conducted an internal audit/investigation, and reflected
his findings in the January 2019 and January 2023 C-4 report beginning balances.
The adjustments to the beginning balances raised legitimate questions but represented
a good faith effort to accurately disclose the Cash on Hand for the Committee in
line with its reconciled bank balances. No evidence was found indicating a
misappropriation of the Committee’s funds.</span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span>·<span> </span></span><span>In
a few instances, the Committee failed to include the address of the recipient candidate
or committee but did identify the recipient and the amount of the contribution.</span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span>·<span> </span></span><span>The
Committee failed to file timely reports of contributions received and
expenditures made. Of the 23 late-filed C-3 and C-4 reports subject to
enforcement, 15 were filed 1-3 days late, two were filed 7 days late, and six
were filed 14-36 days late. For all C-3 reports reviewed, the sole contributor
was Public School Employees of Washington, the entity that created Public
School Employees of Washington PAC.</span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>The Committee participated in the 2025
general election by making a single $1,000 contribution to a candidate on
October 1, 2025. The Committee reported making the contribution on a monthly
C-4 report for October, filed November 12, 2025, rather than on the required
21-day pre-general election C-4 report, due October 14, 2025.</span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this instance, the failure to: (1) include
on C-4 reports the adjustments necessary to correct prior reporting errors and
transactions affecting the Cash on Hand balance; (2) in
a few instances, include the address of the recipient candidate or committee when
making monetary expenditures; (3) file timely reports of contributions and
expenditures; and (4) report using the accelerated reporting schedule for
committees participating in an election does
not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>Based
on this information, the PDC dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 29B.060.020.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>However,
pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the Committee received a formal written
warning concerning the Committee’s:</p>

The complaint alleged that Debra Long, incumbent School Director and candidate for Central Valley School District 356, Position 3 in the 2023 election, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing detailed expenditures undertaken by the Campaign.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Although Debra Long was not a first-time candidate, 2023 was her first time registering under the “Full Reporting” option and submitting C-3 and C-4 reports for her campaign. It appears that the lack of expenditure detail noted in the complaint was due to a general lack of knowledge about campaign finance reporting. No evidence was found that the omissions were done to intentionally conceal campaign activity from the public.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately submit C-4 reports disclosing the required expenditure detail, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Debra Long will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately disclose expenditures made by the 2023 Long Campaign.

560311380510/21/202210/21/202211/22/2022Janice MontgomeryScott TinneyTinney, Scott: Alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.235, .240 & WAC 390-16-105 for exceeding mini reporting limits & failing to file campaign contribution & expenditures reports (EY22, NOV22 )WAC 390-16-105, RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsCandidate - Local<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) completed its review of the complaint filed October 21, 2022. The complaint alleged Scott Tinney may have violated WAC 390-16-105 and and RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by exceeding the expenditure limit for mini-reporting and failing to timely disclose contributions and expenditures.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the responses provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found:</p><ul><li>On July 15, 2021, Scott Tinney filed a Candidate Registration declaring his candidacy for re-election as the Lewis County Clerk, selecting the Mini Reporting option.</li><li>On April 5, 2022, Mr. Tinney filed a Personal Financial Affairs Statement for the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021.</li><li>The Mini Reporting option is available to candidates who will raise and spend no more than $5,000, in addition to the amount spent on their filing fee, and who will receive no more than $500 from any one contributor other than themselves. A candidate who chooses mini reporting is not required to file C-3 and C-4 reports, disclosing contribution and expenditures, but must file a registration statement and keep records of their contributions and expenditures.</li><li>The complaint alleged Scott Tinney may have exceeded the mini-reporting limit due to “his 2017 campaign cost more than $5000, as evidenced by his 2017 PDC reports. Since he is actively campaigning with so many of the same materials it is questionable that he would qualify as a mini reporter for his 2022 campaign.” As well, the complaint alleged “there are so many large signs, and a Facebook comment from the candidate that more are coming; clearly, Mr. Tinney is not using only large signs he had from his previous campaign but has purchased more large signs this year.” And “the parade vehicle covered with many smaller signs, which are commonly not reusable from a previous campaign.” Ms. Montgomery also stated “he is adding to whatever supply of big signs he already had from the previous campaign, but his <i>previousreporting</i> <i>failed</i> to report how many signs he purchased, so there was no way for me to guess how many more signs & T-posts he was buying."</li><li>Scott Tinney responded to the complaint and stated, “The total expenditures made for my [current] campaign is $4,464.82, and the total amount of contributions received is $1,925.00 with the largest contribution being $250.00.” </li><li>As to the questions about the number of signs purchased for each race I will share the following information:</li></ul><p> 2017 campaign, those that read <strong>Vote for Scott Tinney</strong></p><p><strong> </strong>250 yard signs with 250 metal stakes</p><p> 11 4x8 signs</p><p> 2 4x6 banners </p><p> Total cost $2,473.87</p><p> 2022 campaign, those that read, <strong>Re-Elect Scott Tinney</strong></p><p> 100 yard signs </p><p> 20 4x8 signs</p><p> Total cost $2,137.47</p><ul><li>Also, as to the photos attached to the original complaint showing me wearing 2 different colored shirts. I would like to assure Ms. Montgomery that both of those shirts are more than 5 years old. There were no campaign shirts made or purchased for the current election.</li><li>PDC staff noted, guidance provided on the PDC website from May 02, 2019, “<a href="https://www.pdc.wa.gov/news/2019/how-report-use-old-campaign-signs">How to report use of old campaign signs</a>,” indicates if the signs were originally used in a prior run for the same office, there is not a reporting requirement although the PDC does recommend the candidate make a note for their own records that the signs were purchased, and reported, in a previous campaign.</li><li>On May 07, 2017, Scott Tinney registered with the PDC as a candidate for Lewis County Clerk under full reporting. After reviewing applicable 2017 campaign reports filed by Mr. Tinney, PDC staff noted the expenditure and in-kind contributions for sign costs were reported as required. A full review of reports filed for the 2017 campaign was not conducted because the scope exceeds PDC statute of limitations per RCW 42.17A.770.</li></ul><p>Based on these findings, staff has determined, in this instance, the alleged violation of exceeding the expenditure limit for mini reporting does not amount to a violation warranting further investigation. The C-3 and C-4 reports of contributions and expenditures are not required for filers under the Mini Reporting option. Mr. Tinney was a mini filer, not required to file C-3 and C-4 reports.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1138050.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "113805 Tinney Scott Response (2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5603/113805%20Tinney%20Scott%20Response%20%282%29.pdf", "description" : "113805 Tinney Scott Response (2)", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113805 Tinney Scott Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5603/113805%20Tinney%20Scott%20Response.pdf", "description" : "113805 Tinney Scott Response", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113805 Tinney Scott Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5603/113805%20Tinney%20Scott%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "113805 Tinney Scott Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113805 Tinney Scott Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5603/113805%20Tinney%20Scott%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "113805 Tinney Scott Complaint Return Letter", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}]11/22/2022 04:10:09 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The complaint alleged that Washington State Machinists Council PAC, a committee registered with the PDC during calendar years 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 & .240: (1) for failure to timely file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) and; (2) RCW 42.17A.420 for accepting over limit contributions within 21 days of an election.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and supporting documentation; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by legal counsel Abby Lawlor, on behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that although WSMC PAC did accept over limit contributions in excess of $5,000 during the 21 days prior to the general election in calendar years 2019, 2020 and 2022, the PAC either did not spend the funds received for election related expenditures or the funds spent had minimal impact on election related activity. In addition, these funds were received from an entity directly connected to the Respondent and are routinely given in October or November of each year. Regarding the allegation of late reporting, staff found a small number of original reports appeared to have been submitted late.</p><p>Staff found no evidence that WSMC PAC purposely filed late campaign reports or accepted over limit contributions in order to conceal its activities from the public or adversely affect the outcome of previous elections.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely file a small number of campaign reports dating back from calendar year 2019 forward, and acceptance of contributions in excess of $5,000 within the three weeks before the general election in 2019, 2020 and 2022, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, the Respondent will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely file reports disclosing campaign activity and for accepting over limit contributions during the 21 days prior to a general election. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that WSMC PAC timely files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures, and adherence to the prohibition on accepting contributions in excess of $5,000 before a general election. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed all allegations in this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1416010.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141601 Washington State Machinists Council PAC Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6119/141601%20Washington%20State%20Machinists%20Council%20PAC%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141601 Washington State Machinists Council PAC Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6119/141601%20Washington%20State%20Machinists%20Council%20PAC%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141601 Washington State Machinists Council PAC Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6119/141601%20Washington%20State%20Machinists%20Council%20PAC%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]11/15/2023 10:37:04 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

All three Committee Registrations were filed with the PDC prior to this complaint being filed. </p><p>Except for Dean Nielsen and Jason Bennett, staff found no other unnamed individuals affiliated with the Committee who meet the statutory/rule definition of a committee officer that were not included on the committee registration. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that no evidence supports a finding of a violation warranting further investigation. </p><p>Based on this information, staff dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/617350.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "61735 People for Thurston County Jobs, Dean Nielsen Complaint Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3422/61735%20People%20for%20Thurston%20County%20Jobs%2C%20Dean%20Nielsen%20Complaint%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "61735 People for Thurston Co Jobs & Dean Nielsen Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3422/61735%20People%20for%20Thurston%20Co%20Jobs%20%26%20Dean%20Nielsen%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "61735 People for Thurston County Jobs and Dean Nielsen Complaint Return Letter..pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3422/61735%20People%20for%20Thurston%20County%20Jobs%20and%20Dean%20Nielsen%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter..pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]02/24/2020 10:53:08 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

(EY '22; Aug '22)RCW 29B.55.030/42.17A.710Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed on August 26, 2022. The complaint alleged that Kim Plese, a candidate for Spokane County Commissioner, District 1 in the 2022 election, may have violated RCW 42.17A.710 for failure to disclose on the Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) an entity of which she had reportable ownership interest in during the reporting period. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the delay in amending the F-1 report originally filed as a candidate in the 2022 election to include all governmental and business customers was due to lack of knowledge by the Respondent as a new candidate and technical difficulties using the PDC’s electronic filing application. Staff found no evidence that the delay was done purposely in order to deceive or otherwise keep the reportable customer payments from the public.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely amend the F-1 report due as a 2022 candidate covering the previous twelve months does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Kim Plese will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely disclose reportable governmental and business customers of an entity in which she had ownership interest. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Ms. Plese timely and accurately files all future required reports of financial affairs. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1120680.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "112068 Plese Kim Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5543/112068%20Plese%20Kim%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "112068 Plese Kim Warning Letter - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5543/112068%20Plese%20Kim%20Warning%20Letter%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "112068 Plese Kim Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5543/112068%20Plese%20Kim%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "112068 Plese Kim Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]03/12/2024 03:34:34 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Specific activity addressed in the SOU included:</p><ol><li>the development and distribution of promotional content, including messaging developed by Kennewick SD staff, containing language that was not simply fact based but rather implied support for the proposed Educational Programs and Operations Levy (EP&O Levy). Many of the messages included staged photos or video of Kennewick SD teachers, School Resource Officers, and students; and</li><li>frequent distribution of the content over multiple communication channels, including the school district’s website, social media platforms, television and radio ads, Tri-City Regional Chamber of Commerce “e-blasts,” flyers, “back-pack mail,” community-held information sessions, banners, and school reader-boards. The frequency and extent with which Kennewick SD communicated about the levy was greater than it normally communicated with the public about other official business.</li></ol><p>While the use of social media, digital ads and storytelling are widely used to communicate with audiences, they can also be used to persuade audiences to take a particular action. The Kennewick SD should exercise caution when using such tools to convey information regarding a ballot proposition to ensure that its communications are factual, fair, objective, and free of statements of support, emotional appeals, opinions, and other promotional or persuasive content. </p><p>PDC staff is reminding Kennewick SD officials about the importance of adhering to all of the <a href="https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/guidelines-restrictions/guidelines-school-districts-election-campaigns"><i>Guidelines for School Districts in Election Campaigns</i></a> which state that, in no case, will the PDC view a marketing effort related to an election as normal and regular conduct. The school district is further reminded not to use school district resources to produce and distribute promotional content and avoid statements that speculate about the possible secondary or tertiary impacts of a ballot proposition.</p><p>PDC staff expects that, in the future, the Kennewick SD will not use, or authorize the use of, school district facilities to promote a ballot proposition in accordance with PDC laws and rules.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/121794600.000.000.00600.000.00false[{"file_name" : "121794 Kennewick School District Initial Hearing Notice.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5706/121794%20Kennewick%20School%20District%20Initial%20Hearing%20Notice.pdf", "description" : "121794 Kennewick School District Initial Hearing Notice", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "SOU - 121794 - Kennewick SD 17.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5706/SOU%20-%20121794%20-%20Kennewick%20SD%2017.pdf", "description" : "SOU - 121794 - Kennewick SD 17", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "121794 KSD Complaint Attachments.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5706/121794%20KSD%20Complaint%20Attachments.pdf", "description" : "121794 Kennewick School District Complaint Attachments", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "121794 Kennewick School District Hearing Results Letters (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5706/121794%20Kennewick%20School%20District%20Hearing%20Results%20Letters%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "121794 Kennewick School District Initial Hearing Results Letters (combined)", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "121794 Kennewick SD Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5706/121794%20Kennewick%20SD%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "121794 Kennewick School District Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "121794 Kennewick School DIstrict Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5706/121794%20Kennewick%20School%20DIstrict%20Response.pdf", "description" : "121794 Kennewick School District Response", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "121794 Kennewick SD 17 Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5706/121794%20Kennewick%20SD%2017%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "121794 Kennewick School District Complaint Return Letter", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}][{"who" : "Kennewick School District 17", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2023-06-30", "amount" : 600.00, "description" : "Statement of Understanding", "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2023-05-31", "amount" : 600.00, "description" : "PAID - SOU"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]06/20/2023 01:38:24 PMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

The complaint alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.335 for sponsoring political advertising containing a false statement of material fact about candidates for public office.</div><div><br></div><div><div>RCW 42.17A.335(1) states, in part, “It is a violation of this chapter for a person to sponsor with actual malice a statement constituting libel or defamation per se under the following circumstances: (a) Political advertising or an electioneering communication that contains a false statement of material fact about a candidate for public office...”</div><div><br></div><div>RCW 42.17A.005(1) states, "Actual malice" means to act with knowledge of falsity or with reckless disregard as to truth or falsity.</div><div><br></div><div>The statement at issue here does not meet the actual malice standard. The complaint asks the PDC to be the arbiter of whether a candidate’s lack of support for an initiative that supporters championed as an answer to concerns about gender-affirming care for minors is tantamount to support for allowing schools to provide that care without parents’ knowledge.

The response went on to state:</p><p><strong>"</strong><i>IAMW 38 incurred the attorneys' fees and costs and was the represented party in the 2014 litigation related to this complaint. IAM District Lodge 24, the parent organization to IAN'1-W38, paid the attorneys' fees and costs for IAM-W38. This is why both IAM District Lodge 24 and IAM Local Lodge 38 are on the C6 PDC form. IAM District Lodge 24 files a LM-2 report (which would include the litigation expenses related to the 2014 litigation) and IAM Local Lodge 38 files a LM-3 report.

The complaints alleged that Keep Washington Rolling, a political committee opposing a statewide ballot measure in the November 5, 2019 general election, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to disclose top five donors on political advertisement sponsored by the Committee; and (2) RCW 42.17A.235, RCW 42.17A.240 & WAC 390-16-037 for failure to timely and accurately describe expenditures on Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) for election year 2019.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Philip Lloyd, Treasurer for Keep Washington Rolling; the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the omission of sponsor identification, including the top five contributors, on at least five separate pieces of political advertisement sponsored by Keep Washington Rolling, was unintentional and not purposely omitted to mislead the public. The identity of the top five contributors was available to the public on the committee’s Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) submitted prior to the advertisements being presented to the public. In addition, the committee has included appropriate expenditure details on C-4 reports.</p><p>Although Keep Washington Rolling has no previous violations of RCW 42.17A, the committee has been in existence for several campaign cycles, currently employs a professional treasurer and is aware of the sponsor identification requirements for political advertisement it sponsors.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to include the top five contributors on these advertisements does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Keep Washington Rolling received a formal written warning concerning failure to include complete sponsor identification, specifically the top five contributors required by statute, on political advertisement it sponsored.

The complaints alleged that Diana White (the “Respondent”) may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 for failure to timely and accurately report contributions and expenditures. The complaints specifically alleged that the Respondent failed to report expenditures related to her campaign kick-off event, printed materials, buttons, rally signs, and website.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; and the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>Based on the findings, staff determined that, in this instance, failure to 1) timely report contributions and expenditures; and 2) accurately report an in-kind loan and expenditure descriptions does not amount to a violation warranting further investigation.</p><p>PDC staff reminded the Respondent about the importance of timely and accurately reporting contributions, expenditures and in-kind loans and providing detailed expenditure descriptions on all future PDC reports.</p><p>The Respondent made minor or ministerial errors on required reports, which did not materially impact the public interest. Upon notification of these errors, the Respondent timely amended the campaign’s reports, making the necessary technical corrections.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC found that no further action is warranted and dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/523100.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "52310 White Diana K Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3056/52310%20White%20Diana%20K%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "52310 White Diana Complaint (2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3056/52310%20White%20Diana%20Complaint%20%282%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "52310 White Diana Complaint (1).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3056/52310%20White%20Diana%20Complaint%20%281%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "52310 White Diana Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3056/52310%20White%20Diana%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]01/30/2020 04:49:26 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

(EY '21'; Nov '21)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240, RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsPolitical Committee - Local Issue<p>A complaint was filed alleging that Kris Greene violated either: (1) RCW 42.17A.205, .235, and .240 by failing to register and file reports as a local ballot measure committee in opposition to the Clark County Charter Amendments that appeared on the November 2, 2021 general election; or (2) RCW 42.17A.255 by failing to file reports of Independent Expenditure (C-6 report), by making expenditures in opposition to the Clark County Charter Amendments. </p><p>Kris Greene stated in his response that he did not print or produce the "Vote No" yard signs. He stated he did make maybe 30 “Vote No” yard signs available for pick up at his office in Clark County, and that most of the signs had been picked up by Mr. Richards. He stated the Southwest Washington Federated Republican Women’s Club (SWFRWC) made the yard signs available to him. He stated that he picked up the “Vote No” signs at the home of Carolyn Crain, first Vice-President of the SWFRWC. <br> <br>Mr. Greene stated that the SWFRWC printed the “Vote No” fliers and made them available to him. He stated that he could not “recall the exact number” he made available or distributed and he noted he threw away the remaining fliers the day after the election. He estimated that he had about 50 fliers sitting on a table in the front lobby of his office “for folks to stop in and take them. Mr. Richards picked up some also and I have no idea how many he took with him.” <br><br>Mr. Greene stated that he spoke with Mr. Richards once or maybe twice, and met with him once at his office, concerning the Clark County Charter Amendments between October 1 through November 3, 2021. He stated that his discussions with Mr. Richards were informational in nature and that they discussed their dissatisfaction “with no rebuttal statements in the voters’ pamphlet.” He stated that both he and Mr. Richards felt “that we needed to get the word out to people we know who would be disturbed by the fact that there were no rebuttals, substantially harming the average voter to make an informed decision.” <br><br>Mr. Greene stated that he did not solicit or accept any contributions to oppose the Clark Charter Amendments, and that he did not make any expenditure of his personal funds for any political advertisements. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff has determined in this instance the activities undertaken by Kris Greene in opposition to several of the 2021 Clark County Charter Amendments, that included Mr. Greene making available “Vote No” yard signs and fliers at his place of business, are considered volunteer activities that did not require him to register and report as a ballot measure committee. Mr. Greene did not solicit or accept contributions in order to engage in his activities, one of the prongs for determining a political committee, and he did not spend any personal funds to oppose the ballot measures. Thus, he was not required to file an Independent Expenditures report (C-6 report). </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed the allegations against Cemal Richards in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1016960.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "101696 Greene Kris_copy of Just Vote No & Cemal Richards Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5076/101696%20Greene%20Kris_copy%20of%20Just%20Vote%20No%20%26%20Cemal%20Richards%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Email response from KRIS GREENE.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5076/Email%20response%20from%20KRIS%20GREENE.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Kris Greene Complaint Return Letter and Cover Ltr (PDC Case 101696).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5076/Kris%20Greene%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20and%20Cover%20Ltr%20%28PDC%20Case%20101696%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}]02/02/2022 06:08:13 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The complaint also alleged that the Respondent failed to properly describe expenditures on reports.</p><p>The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1) and will not be conducting a more formal investigation into these allegations or taking further enforcement action in this matter. The treasurer for the PAC amended several C-4 reports to include more detailed descriptions of expenditures, as contemplated by WAC 390-16-037, as follows:</p><p><strong>C-4 Report 8/1/18 – 8/31/18 Amended 10/12/23</strong></p><ul><li>On October 12, 2013, Ms. Riggs amended the C-4 report covering the reporting period 8/1/18 – 8/31/18, originally filed 9/9/18, by adding the number of T-Shirts purchased (100) for $653.40. The amended description was filed five years and one month late.</li><li>On the same amended C-4 report, the description for a $728.23 expenditure was corrected to disclose that 2,000 flyers were printed.</li></ul><p><strong>C-4 Report 9/1/18 – 10/15/18 Amended 10/12/23</strong></p><ul><li>On October 12, 2013, Ms. Riggs amended the C-4 report covering the reporting period 9/1/18 – 10/15/18, originally filed 11/18/18, by adding additional detail describing several expenditures, as follows:</li><li>$9,166.48 “1000 Yard Signs”</li><li>$359.37 “30 Parade Signs”</li><li>$3,063.23 “2000 Additional Yard Signs”</li><li>$597.74 “2000 Flyers in Spanish”</li><li>$1,034.65 “1000 Door Hangers”</li><li>$9,965.00 28 Ads for Oct & Nov” (In the Walla Walla Union Bulletin newspaper)</li><li>$1,508.00 “52 Radio Spots each: KHET, KWHT-FM, KWVN-FM, 10/17/18-11/6/18”</li><li>$979.00 “Postage for mailing 3573 Postcards”</li><li>$2,585.67 “Printing & Prep for 3573 postcards”</li></ul><p><strong>C-4 Report 12/1/18 – 12/31/18 – Amended 10/18/23</strong></p><ul><li>On October 18, 2013 Ms. Riggs amended the C-4 report covering the reporting period 12/1/18 – 12/31/18, originally filed 12/31/18, by adding additional detail describing several expenditures, as follows:</li><li>$378.00 “Rdio Ads 11/2-11/5/18 9 spots each: KUJ, KZIU, 104.5 BOB”</li><li>$1,451.38 “Postage for 2nd postcard mailing-5297”</li><li>$3,667.35 “Printing & prep of 2nd postcard mailing-5297”</li><li>In addition, the amended report for the period 12/1-12/31/18 included two additional expenditures:</li><li>$395.28 “Dumpter rental & refuse dispose of signs”</li><li>$92.00 listed under Non-Itemized expenditures. This was for the committee’s PO Box rental. What appeared to be a missing $92.00 was caused by not initially reporting the Post Office Box rental and was not a personal use of campaign funds.</li><li>By reporting these additional expenditures on the amended last report for 2018, the amount carried forward from Line 18, $2,752.05, now equals the Line 1 starting balance for the first C-4 report in 2019.</li></ul><p><strong>Late Reporting of C-4 Reports</strong></p><ul><li>The C-4 report covering the period 4/1/20 – 4/30/20 was filed three years and six months late. However, no contributions were received during this period and expenditures totaled $106.</li><li>The C-4 report covering the period 5/1/20 – 5/31/20 was filed three years and five months late. However, there were no contributions received or expenditures made. </li><li>Because the contribution and expenditure activity for these two reports did not exceed $200, the reports were not required to be filed.</li></ul><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), PDC staff issued a formal warning concerning the committee’s failure to include the detailed expenditure descriptions contemplated by WAC 390-16-037. Staff expects Citizens for Schools Walla Walla to disclose the detailed expenditure descriptions contemplated by WAC 390-16-037 in future reports and to file C-4 reports timely and accurately. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1420280.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "142028 Case Closure Letter - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6216/142028%20Case%20Closure%20Letter%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "142028 Case Closure Letter - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6216/142028%20Case%20Closure%20Letter%20-%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "142028 Response to Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6216/142028%20Response%20to%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "142028 Citizens for Walla Walla Schools Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6216/142028%20Citizens%20for%20Walla%20Walla%20Schools%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/07/2025 04:05:07 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

612114160508/19/202308/18/202311/15/2023Glen MorganPierce County Democratic Central CommitteePierce County Democratic Central Committee: Alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 by failing to timely file C-3 & C-4 reports disclosing contributions & expenditures (CY18-23, Aug23)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningPolitical Committee - Democratic Bona Fide<p>A complaint was filed against the Pierce County Democratic Central Committee; a bona fide political party county committee registered with the PDC, alleging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by the Pierce County Democratic Central Committee for failing to timely and accurately file contribution and expenditure reports during calendar years 2018 to the present. </p><p>On May 15, 2023, the Committee filed a Committee Registration with the PDC registering as a bona fide political party county committee for 2023, selecting the Full Reporting option, and listing Shelley White as Ministerial Treasurer. </p><p>In the September 9, 2023, response from Ms. Carlsen she stated that contrary to comments made by Mr. Morgan in his complaint, the Committee “is not a prolific law-breaking crew, but rather the Treasurers of the organization are unpaid volunteers, who want to follow the rules and disclose the information both timely and accurately.” However, she noted that during 2018 and 2019, the Committee had “four different Treasurers for the organization which added to the confusion in filings” and some of those individuals did “not have the background or understanding of the report to do the job successfully.” </p><p>Ms. Carlsen stated that “Mr. Morgan’s complaint contains 52 pages, much of which is a restatement of Case #46474, #44695 and #18611 and subsequent lawsuit and settlement which were previously addressed and paid” by the Committee. She stated that it appears his inclusion of this information is being “used to mainly to justify the current complaint.” The complaint included copies of “three specific C4’s and a two-page Excel spreadsheet reflecting what he considers to be significant lawbreaking.” </p><p>Ms. Carlsen stated that the Committee’s response, along with an attached spreadsheet are offered as an explanation to those allegations. She stated that two of the C-4 reports included as part of the complaint concerned the reporting of two in-kind contributions received by the Committee in August of 2021 for food and picnic donations contributed by two volunteers. She stated that the two in-kind contributions, which were for $150 and $75 were “required to be reported if the donor has in aggregate spent more than $200.” (Staff would note that the threshold for listing name and address for contributors is $100 for monetary and in-kind contributions, and the volunteer services threshold for reporting the value of those goods or services was raised to $200). </p><p>Ms. Carlsen stated that in both of allegations listed in the complaint for in-kind contributions in these reports, the items donated “were reported because it was felt that by doing so the committee was not hiding any transactions.” She noted that the in-kind contributions disclosed on the 2021 Post Primary General Election C-4 report “were for refreshments or supplies for social events and well under $200 limit” and were for party building activities and not to support any candidates or ballot propositions. She stated that “because the items did not meet the $200 limit, it was assumed no detail was necessary.”</p><p>The third in-kind contribution allegation concerned the 2020 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report that was timely filed by the Committee on October 26, 2020, and disclosed a $360 in-kind contribution for “Yard signs” received from the Washington State Democrats. Ms. Carlsen stated that while the contribution was timely filed, the report failed “to include the number of signs received as required by law. The number of signs was 360.”</p><p>Finally, the three remaining in-kind contribution allegations concerned the 2022 November C-4 report that was timely filed by the Committee on December 4, 2022, and disclosed three in-kind contributions from three different individuals totaling $116.60. The $116.60 total for the three in-kind contributions all for a 2020 auction event and included $46.60 for “Paper products”; $40 for “Food”; and $30 for “Drinks.”</p><p>Ms. Carlsen attached an Excel spreadsheet along with the Committee’s response, that was copied from the original complaint spreadsheet submitted by Mr. Morgan, and she added a column so she could provide comments or a reply for all the “alleged late filed reports.” She stated that the spreadsheet was divided into two sections and is summarized by PDC staff below. </p><p>Staff would note that the summary below excludes 15 amended C-3 and C-4 reports that were included in your initial spreadsheet, and as noted in earlier correspondence from PDC Deputy Director Kim Bradford to you, merely identifying an amended C-3 or C-4 report in a spreadsheet as being filed late without describing the underlying changes on the amended report, or identifying what information was omitted from the initial report, would not be considered a violation.</p><p>1. One section involved the Pierce County Democratic Party, which was a dormant Committee account that had been closed out prior to 2018, but the previous Treasurers had not filed the “Final reports” disposing of the remaining funds. Ms. Carlsen stated the five C-4 reports for the dormant account were filed late, and did not get filed until February 9, 2020, covering the period July 31-December 31, 2018. But she noted only three of the five C-4 reports reported any activities, none of which had any nexus to the 2018 election cycle, and the three reports disclosed $188.47 in combined contribution and expenditure activities.</p><p>2. One section involved the Pierce County Democratic Central Committee, which was the bona fide political party committee that filed reports from 2018 to present. <br>The sheet includes a response for all the “alleged late filed” C-3 and C-4 reports by year and included:</p><p>(a) CY 2023: One C-4 report was filed 21 days late and listed $64.78 in activity items. The report was filed late since the Treasurer submitted a July 2023 monthly C-4 report but the Committee had endorsed a candidate which required the filing of the 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report.</p><p>(b) CY 2022: Six C-3 reports were filed between one to nine days late disclosing a combined $85.14 in total contributions received.</p><p>(c) CY 2021: One C-4 report, the 21-Day Pre-Primary Election C-4 report was filed one day late disclosing $723.31 in Committee contribution and expenditure activities.</p><p>(d) CY 2020: Once C-3 report was filed 20 days late on March 1, 2020, disclosing $29 in contributions received and was found during a review of the bank statements.</p><p>(e) CY 2019: Five C-3 reports were filed three to 34 days late, disclosing a combined $280.08 in total contributions received; one C-3 report was filed 356 days late but was blank; and one C-4 report was filed two days late but disclosed no contribution or expenditure activity.</p><p>(f) CY 2018: One C-3 report was filed 99 days stating in the comment’s column: “Low-cost fund raiser deposit ($863.00) missed. Found in review of bank account after Treasurer resigned.”</p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of violations that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any further enforcement action in this instance. </p><p>In accordance with WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, PDC staff is issuing a formal written warning to the Pierce County Democratic Central Committee concerning the requirement to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports for the remainder of calendar year 2023, and for all future calendar years. The warning includes providing the required details for expenditures and in-kind contributions, such as the number of signs produced or flyers printers. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws/rules. </p><p>The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1416050.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Pierce County Democrat's SS Response (Morgan) PDC Case 141605.docx.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6121/Pierce%20County%20Democrat%27s%20SS%20Response%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20Case%20141605.docx.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141605 Pierce County Democrats Return Ltr (Morgan).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6121/141605%20Pierce%20County%20Democrats%20Return%20Ltr%20%28Morgan%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "Pierce County Democratic CC Response (Morgan) PDC Case 141605.docx.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6121/Pierce%20County%20Democratic%20CC%20Response%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20Case%20141605.docx.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141605 Pierce Cty Dem CC Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6121/141605%20Pierce%20Cty%20Dem%20CC%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]11/15/2023 06:20:22 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<span>The complaint alleged that the </span><span>Committee to Recall Mark Lindquist</span><span> may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by: (1) reporting an in-kind contribution in the amount of $1,049.00 from Mark Lindquist on August 30, 2015, for the value of a Recall Mark Lindquist campaign sign that was allegedly signed by Mark Lindquist and later sold as an auction item at a Committee to Recall Mark Lindquist fundraiser; (2) filing C-4 reports late; and (3) misreporting campaign debt as “carry forward debt” rather than listing a description of the purpose of the debt. </span>
</div>
<div><span><strong>Disposition: </strong>PDC staff determined that based on its initial findings, <span>neither the Committee to Recall Mark Lindquist’s initial attribution of an in-kind contribution to Mark Lindquist, nor its failure to file all of its C-4 reports in a timely manner, nor its descriptions of outstanding debt to the firm of Oldfield & Helsdon for legal services amount to a material violation warranting further action. However, in accordance with PDC practice, the Committee to Recall Mark Lindquist was sent a warning letter, reminding it of the need to timely file reports of contributions and expenditures (C-4 reports) or other reports required under RCW 42.17A in future election campaigns. </span><span>Based on these circumstances, the PDC has closed the matter, and will not be conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing further enforcement action in this case.</span></span></div>

The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Change the Council reviews all political advertisement to ensure it includes sponsor identification prior to being made available to the public. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1438540.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "143854 Change the Council Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6257/143854%20Change%20the%20Council%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "143854 Change the Council Complaint (1).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6257/143854%20Change%20the%20Council%20Complaint%20%281%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "143854 Change the Council Complaint (2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6257/143854%20Change%20the%20Council%20Complaint%20%282%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]09/18/2025 10:46:17 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

This prohibition does not apply to activities that are part of the normal and regular conduct of the public/local agency, as defined in WAC 390-05-273.</p><p>The complaint alleged that the City of Ocean Shores library, used the facilities of the City of Ocean Shores to support a ballot measure/proposition for a $12 million municipal bond to build a new police station in the City of Ocean Shores. Specifically, you alleged that the City of Ocean Shores library allowed the display of a fact sheet inside of the library premises, in a manner that promoted the ballot proposition by “Swaying public vote in favor of the city. Providing misinformation to sway a vote, stating unused bond money will be returned when Prop 1 is written as bond money “may” be returned not “shall”.” You submitted three photo attachments depicting the three different pages of the fact sheet that was displayed at the City of Ocean Shores library during the 2022 election year. </p><p>In its response to the complaint, submitted by Susan Logan, City Clerk, the City of Ocean Shores library stated: “The City of Ocean Shores created a fact sheet laying out stated facts with regards to the cost of, location, funding source, and other pertinent information pertaining to Proposition No. 1 and the potential construction of a new Police Station. The Proposition No. 1 fact sheet was made available at the Ocean Shores Public Library and on the City of Ocean Shores City website. Fact sheets are authorized and encouraged to be created by governing bodies facilitating bond or levy measures to be voted on by their respective jurisdictions.” The response further stated: “Public Libraries are allowed to post and distribute fact sheets based on the Ocean Shores Library Policy Approved November 10, 2021, and updated August 5, 2022.” </p><p>Staff noted that the fact sheet displayed at the Ocean Shores Library was fair and objective. Staff also noted that the displaying of the fact sheet by the City of Ocean Shores library was in line with the PDC Interpretation No. 91-03 Statement, which states: “It is a normal and regular function of a public library to obtain and provide public access to campaign fact sheets, brochures, voters and candidates pamphlets and similar documents which provide information regarding election campaigns.”</p><p>Based on the above review, staff determined that no evidence supported a finding of a violation that would warrant further investigation. </p><p>Accordingly, PDC staff found that no further action was warranted and dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1)(a).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1137420.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "113742 Ocean Shores Library Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5601/113742%20Ocean%20Shores%20Library%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113742 Ocean Shores Library Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5601/113742%20Ocean%20Shores%20Library%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113742 Ocean Shores Library Complaint Return Letter....pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5601/113742%20Ocean%20Shores%20Library%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter....pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}]07/20/2024 11:05:50 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

(Jul 20)RCW 29B.55.030/42.17A.710Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - Judicial<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaints filed by John Trumbo on July 2, 2020 and by Lillian “Randy” Slovic on July 15, 2020. As both complaints alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.710, PDC staff combined the complaints and investigated the allegations under PDC Case 73017. The complaints alleged that Sharon Raye Brown, a Senator in Legislative District 8, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.710 for failure to fully report assets on Personal Statement of Financial Affairs (F-1 reports) for calendar years 2015 to 2019; and (2) RCW 42.17A.710 for failure to report debt on F-1 reports for calendar years 2015 to 2018.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by Mark Lamb, Attorney with The North Creek Law Firm on behalf of Sharon Raye Brown (the “Respondent”); the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and the Order issued by the Commission granting the Respondent’s request for a retroactive reporting modification, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>During the review of Ms. Slovic’s complaint, staff referred to the requirements in RCW 42.17A.710(1)(c), the definition of the term “debt” in WAC 390-24-110, and the response provided by the Respondent. Based on this review. staff did not find that Sen. Brown was required to disclose the debt on her previously submitted F-1 reports.</p><p>Although Sen. Brown was required to either include reportable financial interests of her former spouse’s business or timely request a modification to these reporting requirements, the Commission granted her retroactive reporting modification request, therefore relieving her of the obligation of full disclosure under chapter 42.17A RCW.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to accurately file F-1 report covering calendar years 2015, 2016 and 2017 or timely submit a request to modify the required filing obligations, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>PDC staff reminded Sen. Brown about the importance of the timely and complete disclosure of all personal financial information and the timely filings of all future PDC F-1 reports in accordance with the statutes and rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/730170.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "73017 Brown Sharon Raye Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3585/73017%20Brown%20Sharon%20Raye%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "73017 Brown Sharon Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3585/73017%20Brown%20Sharon%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "73017 Brown Sharon Raye Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3585/73017%20Brown%20Sharon%20Raye%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "73017 Brown Sharon Complaint 2.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3585/73017%20Brown%20Sharon%20Complaint%202.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "73017 Brown Sharon Raye Supplemental Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3585/73017%20Brown%20Sharon%20Raye%20Supplemental%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]09/24/2020 02:49:34 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

(EY '19; Oct '19)RCW 29B.45.010/42.17A.555Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsCandidate - Local<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed on October 25, 2019. The complaint alleged that Amy Falcone, a candidate for Kirkland City Council, Position 6 in 2019, may have violated RCW 42.17A.555 for misuse of public facilities by using a City of Kirkland police department ride-along event to benefit her 2019 election campaign.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; PDC Interpretation 04-02; and the response provided by Amy Falcone, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>The complaint included an additional allegation regarding a possible ethics violation. Apart from the portion of the ride-along event resulting in a possible violation of RCW 42.17A.555, staff found this allegation to be outside of the PDC’s jurisdiction and did not address this part of the complaint.</p><p>Amy Falcone is a first-time candidate for public office in 2019. It appears that Ms. Falcone did not intend to imply that the Kirkland Police Department endorsed or otherwise supported her 2019 Kirkland City Council campaign by including her campaign logo in close proximity to photos bearing the name of the department. In addition, City of Kirkland staff requested that Ms. <br>Falcone remove the October 18, 2019 Facebook post. The post was removed two days later on October 20, 2019.</p><p>Staff found no evidence to prove that Ms. Falcone used the ride-along event to support her campaign.

The identity of the top five contributors was available to the public on the committee’s Monetary Contribution (C-3) reports submitted prior to the advertisements being presented to the public. In addition, the committee has included appropriate expenditure details on Receipts and Expenditures Summary (C-4) reports. Although Washington Fairness Coalition has no previous violations of RCW 42.17A, the committee employs a professional treasurer and is aware of the sponsor identification requirements for political advertisement it sponsors. <br><br>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to include the top five contributors on these advertisements does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation. Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Washington Fairness Coalition will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to include complete sponsor identification, specifically the top five contributors required by statute, on political advertisements it sponsored.

The complaint alleged that Outwest Printing, a print shop doing business in Washington and Oregon, may have violated RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to include sponsor identification on political advertisement that identified seven local candidates running in the 2021 election.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; and the response provided by Debbie Ross on behalf of the Respondent, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the Respondent, Outwest Printing, had no prior knowledge of the PDC’s sponsor identification requirements on written political advertisements because they had not done political advertisements before. During the investigation, staff found no evidence the Respondent intentionally omitted the sponsor identification in order to conceal the sponsor from the public. In addition, the Respondent attempted to correct the lack of sponsor ID by posting a statement in the same written publication prior to the date of the general election identifying Outwest Printing as the sponsor of the ads appearing in the prior two weeks.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to include sponsor identification on written political advertisements does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Outwest Printing will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to include sponsor identification on political advertisement they sponsored.

(AUG 2019, EY 2019)RCW 29B.45.010/42.17A.555, RCW 29B.45.050/42.17A.575Case Closed with ReminderPublic Agency - Local<p>On October 5, 2018, the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) received a complaint alleging that the City of Olympia, a municipal corporation, may have violated RCW 42.17A.555 by using City of Olympia facilities to support Mayor Cheryl Shelby's 2019 re-election campaign by featuring her in a video on the City of Olympia's website during an election year; and (2) RCW42.17A.575 by featuring Mayor Shelby in a Public Service Announcement (PSA) when she was up for re-election in 2019. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegation, including the video evidence submitted with the complaint and determined that video was not a PSA in accordance with RCW 42.17A.575 and WAC 390-05-525. Based on an interview with the City of Olympia attorney and his response to the allegations, the videos were only providing citizens with information about the budget and encouraging their participation in the annual budget process, which is part of the normal and regular conduct of the the City of Olympia. In addition, the City of Olympia proactively pulled down the "An invitation from the Mayor" video featuring Mayor Shelby from its website on August 1, 2019, the same day the complaint was filed. </p><p>The City of Olympia attorney also stated the other videos were all related to the budget process and included one video from 2018, and the main budget video produced in 2019 prominently featured two current City of Olympia employees, with the narrator being a former city employee who has since accepted a new position with a different employer. </p><p>While the video featured Mayor Shelby during an election year, there was no mention about her being a candidate for re-election to that office in 2019. However, PDC staff reminded the City of Olympia about the prohibitions of using city employees and facilities to support or oppose any candidate or ballot proposition, and encouraged the city to not feature any elected official in city business related videos or any other communications concerning the budget or other relevant city issues when that official is up for election or re-election. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that no evidence supported supports a finding of a violation warranting further investigation.</p><p>Based on the above, PDC staff dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/559010.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "55901 City of Olympia Complaint With Attachments.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3191/55901%20City%20of%20Olympia%20Complaint%20With%20Attachments.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "55901 City of Olympia Complaint Return Letter......pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3191/55901%20City%20of%20Olympia%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter......pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "55901 City of Olympia Response to Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3191/55901%20City%20of%20Olympia%20Response%20to%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]11/07/2019 09:35:39 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The complaint alleged that AFSCME Special Account, a separate segregated fund registered with the Internal Revenue Service as a 527 political organization, may have violated RCW 42.17A.250 by failing to timely and accurately file Out-of-State Political Committee Campaign Finance Reports (C-5 reports) disclosing contributions made to Washington State Candidates and Political Committees during calendar years 2014 to 2018.</p><p>An earlier complaint was filed on July 3, 2019 against AFSMCE Special Account (PDC Case 54145) that provided copies of AFSCME’s 8872 forms filed with the IRS as a 527 segregated fund, alleging that the C-5 reports filed by AFSCME Special Account for calendar years 2014 through 2018, failed to disclose all contribution and expenditure activities undertaken by the committee on the C-5 reports. </p><p>AFSCME Special Account legal counsel stated that on October 4, 2019, the PDC and AFSMCE executed a stipulated agreement in Case No. 54145, acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.250 were committed by AFSCME Special Account for failing to timely and accurately file C-5 Reports that included a $5,250 civil penalty being assessed, of which $2,000 was suspended on several conditions, and “AFSCME tendered payment of the other $3,250 on October 7.” </p><p>Counsel stated the Freedom Foundation “filed a new complaint, alleging that AFSCME failed to timely file the same C-5 reports disclosing additional transfers made from AFSCME International to AFSMCE Special Account in calendar years 2014 and 2016. While none of the additional transfers included funds spent in Washington State, she noted that all of the new allegations “were either indirectly contemplated by, or were addressed directly in, the final order in Case No. 54145.” </p><p>Staff’s review of the facts found that: (1) the late reported contributions received and disclosed on the December 3, 2019 amended C-5 reports were transfers from AFSCME International to AFSCME’s Special (segregated) Account made in calendar years 2014 and 2016; (2) the 2014 late reported transfers were beyond the five-year statute of limitations for PDC action; (3) of the total funds transferred from AFSCME International AFSCME to Special Account for calendar years 2014 through 2018, $790,000 was disclosed as being spent to make contributions to Washington State candidates and political committees, which represented less than one percent of all funds transferred ; and (4) AFSCME took prompt corrective action by filing the amended reports when their noncompliance was brought to their attention by your complaint, and after conducting an internal audit.</p><p>Based on these findings, staff has determined that the issues raised in the complaint were previously resolved by the Commission pursuant to Case No. 54145, and this complaint does not raise new issues warranting further investigation. The PDC has dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/596780.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Complaint Attachment - PDC Complaint 2 - AFSCME Special Account - Appendix 2 (2).xlsx", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3368/Complaint%20Attachment%20-%20PDC%20Complaint%202%20-%20AFSCME%20Special%20Account%20-%20Appendix%202%20%282%29.xlsx", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "AFSCME Special Account (2) Response to Complaint (Freedom Foundation) PDC Case 59678.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3368/AFSCME%20Special%20Account%20%282%29%20Response%20to%20Complaint%20%28Freedom%20Foundation%29%20PDC%20Case%2059678.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "AFSCME Special Account (2) Complaint Return Letter with Cover Letter (Freedom Foundation) PDC Case 59678.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3368/AFSCME%20Special%20Account%20%282%29%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20with%20Cover%20Letter%20%28Freedom%20Foundation%29%20PDC%20Case%2059678.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "59678 American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees Special Account (2) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3368/59678%20American%20Federation%20of%20State%2C%20County%2C%20and%20Municipal%20Employees%20Special%20Account%20%282%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]01/22/2020 06:29:40 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

(EY23, Nov23)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsCandidate - Local<p>A complaint was against Jenece Howe, a 2023 candidate seeking election to the office of Hospital Commissioner for Yakima County Public Hospital District 1 in 2023, alleging that the 2023 Jenece Howe Campaign (Campaign) violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to file Monetary Contributions reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contributions and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) disclosing contribution and expenditure activities undertaken in support of her candidacy.</p><p>Jenece Howe filed a Declaration of Candidacy with the Yakima County Elections declaring her candidacy for Hospital Commissioner for Yakima County Public Hospital District 1 in 2023. Ms. Howe was a first-time candidate for public office in 2023.</p><p>Yakima County Proposition No. 1 appeared on the August 1, 2023, primary election ballot. If approved, the measure would have created a new public hospital district in the Lower Yakima Valley in 2024. </p><p>Proposition No. 1 only required a simple majority to be approved, but the ballot measure contained a second requirement related to turnout, in order to be approved. Proposition No. 1 was required to receive 40% of the total number of votes cast in the boundaries of the newly proposed hospital district during the 2022 general election, or at least 2,802 votes. </p><p>While Proposition No. 1 received a majority of the votes cast by a 66.05% to 33.95% margin, the measure only received a total of 2,477 votes, which was short of the 2,802 votes needed for passage and it was not approved. Since Proposition No. 1 was not approved, the candidates who appeared on the primary ballot were no longer candidates and did not appear on the November 7, 2023, general election ballot.</p><p>A total of six individuals filed as 2023 candidates for the five possible Hospital Commissioner positions for the proposed hospital district. Four of the Hospital Commissioner candidates for Positions #1, 2, 3 & 5 ran unopposed in the August 1, 2023, primary election. they included Gabriela Guel and Julie Alvarez of Toppenish; Bryawna Fletcher of Zillah; and Ms. Howe of Wapato.</p><p>On July 20, 2023, the PDC conducted a Brief Adjudicative Proceedings (BAP) for 2023 candidates who failed to file a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) and/or Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report), within two weeks of becoming a candidate. Ms. Howe was included in the BAP hearing and was found in violation of RCW 42.17A.205 and .700 assessed a $400 penalty, of which $300 was suspended on the condition she file the missing C-1 and F-1 reports and pay a $100 penalty within 30 days of the date of the order. </p><p>Ms. Howe’s failure to file any C-4 reports are mitigated by the following factors: (1) she was a first-time candidate for public office in 2023 in a jurisdiction that was not yet formed or created; (2) she was unopposed as a candidate; (3) the ballot measure to create the hospital district was not approved on the August 1, 2023, primary ballot, and Ms. Howe’s name did not appear on the November 7, 2023, general election ballot; and (4) Ms. Howe, prior to the August 1, 2023, primary election being held, was found in violation and assessed a penalty at a BAP hearing for failing to file the C-1 and F-1 reports.</p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance. </p><p>The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1447930.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "144793 Jenece Howe Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6322/144793%20Jenece%20Howe%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Jenece Howe Complaint Return Ltr.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6322/Jenece%20Howe%20Complaint%20Return%20Ltr.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}]12/12/2023 10:43:34 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

However, It is not a violation for a candidate to falsely claim incumbency because a person cannot defame himself or herself. </p><p>When a complaint alleges that a candidate, in his or her political advertising, has used the term “reelect” in a manner that is not in agreement with the proper use of that term, it is presumed that the complaint is also alleging that the candidate has falsely represented that the candidate is the incumbent for the office sought, in violation of RCW 42.17A.335(1)(b). However, because a person cannot defame himself or herself, a false claim of incumbency by a candidate is not a violation of RCW 42.17A.335(1)(b).</p><p>In this instance, Rob Chase was elected to the position of State Representative in Legislative District 4 in 2020 and served for two years. In 2022, he ran for re-election and was defeated. During the 2022 re-election campaign, Rep. Chase used signs that read, “Re-Elect Chase, State Representative, Dist. 4.”</p><p>When former Rep. Chase became a candidate in 2024 to return to the office he previously held, he said he contacted the PDC and was told he could use the signs he had previously used that read, “Re-Elect Chase, State Representative, Dist. 4.” Former Rep. Chase said he was not told he needed to use the word “Return” or if he used the word “Re-Elect,” that he needed to clearly state he was not the incumbent. PDC staff suggested replacing the word “Re-Elect” with the word, “Return” for the 2024 election and Mr. Chase confirmed that all signs were modified as suggested by PDC staff.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1495720.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "149572 Combined Case CLosure Letters.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6399/149572%20Combined%20Case%20CLosure%20Letters.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}, {"file_name" : "149572 Rob Chase - Response to Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6399/149572%20Rob%20Chase%20-%20Response%20to%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "149572 Robert Chase Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6399/149572%20Robert%20Chase%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/07/2025 03:48:39 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

611814155908/20/202308/19/202303/19/2024Glen MorganKitsap County Democratic Central CommitteeKitsap County Democratic Central Committee: Alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 by failing to timely file C-3 and C-4 reports disclosing contribution & expenditure activities (CY19-23, Aug 23)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningPolitical Committee - Democratic Bona Fide<p>A complaint was filed against the Kitsap County Democratic Central Committee; a bona fide political party county committee registered with the PDC, alleging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failing to timely and accurately file contribution and expenditure reports during calendar years 2018 to the present, provide the required expenditure descriptions such as the number of postcards printed, or yard signs produced, and in-kind contribution information for items and services donated by individuals to the Committee. </p><p>After conducting a preliminary review and assessment of the complaint filed against the Kitsap County Democratic Central Committee, PDC staff held an Initial Hearing (Case Status Review) on November 14, 2023, pursuant to RCW 42.17A.755, and WACs 390-37-060 and 390-37-071, and opened a formal investigation into this matter. On May 15, 2023, the Committee filed a Committee Registration with the PDC registering as a bona fide political party county committee for 2023, selecting the Full Reporting option, and listing Shelley White as Ministerial Treasurer. Johanna Baxter is the current Chair of the Committee.</p><p><strong>2019:</strong> In the response, Ms. Baxter stated in 2019, the Committee’s newly elected treasurer was having trouble identifying and understanding the PDC reporting requirements for a political party committee. In addition, the former treasurers were assisting the new Treasurer but due to personal and other issues, the treasurer resigned after only eight or nine into the two-year elected term of office. The Treasurer stated as part of the resignation that the Committee conducted an audit which “identified some errors in the PDC reports that were filed.” Ms. Baxter stated that the 2019 “appointed” Committee treasurer, with assistance from the audit committee, filed amended C-4 reports, but due to the Online Reporting of Campaign Activities (ORCA) software “the amendments made to the January reports required the Committee to file amendments to all subsequently submitted reports.” She stated that “all necessary amendments were completed and submitted before KCDCC moved into 2020.”</p><p><strong>2020:</strong> Ms. Baxter stated that the year began with the Committee making plans for a fund-raising dinner/auction to be held in March, and for their annual picnic at Jarstad Park. She stated that both monetary and in-kind contributions were accepted for the dinner/auction and included the auction items that were mostly donated from individuals, members, or precinct committee officers (PCO’s), which were timely disclosed to the PDC. Due to Covid and related restrictions, the Committee cancelled the annual picnic and the Committee requested refunds from the venue for the annual picnic. Ms. Baxter stated that due to the Committee refunds, “both to contributors and from the venue operator”, the Committee filed a number of amended C-3 and C-4 reports, and that several of the C-3 and C-4 reports were amended more than one time. She added that all contribution and expenditure information was updated as the information became known to the Committee treasurer.</p><p><strong>2022: </strong>Ms. Baxter stated the alleged late C-3 and C-4 reports filed by the Committee were the results of “a typographical error” and that the amended C-3 and C-4 reports were submitted to correct that error. The error was identified by the Committee treasurer, but there was some time lag between the time the error was found and the filing of the corrected reports that caused the late submittals of the amended C-3 and C-4 reports. In addition, she added the Committee treasurer was tending to a family matter that took her out of town for a while, and she completed and filed the amended reports upon her returning home.</p><p>Concerning the late filed reports listed separately from the spreadsheet attachment, PDC staff found the following:</p><p><strong>PDC Report # 110123861: </strong>On October 25, 2022, the Committee made a $5,433.79 expenditure to Capitol City Press to print a “ballot guide mailer”, listing the candidates endorsed by the Committee for the 2022 general election. On March 6, 2024, the Committee filed an amended C-4 report disclosing the printing and mailing of “30,879 ballot guide mailers” during the 2022 election cycle.</p><p><strong>PDC Report #110157341:</strong> On June 11, 2023, the Committee made a $500 expenditure to Eventeny (www.eventeny.com) for “Staff food and beverages, etc.: Pride fee.” On February 29, 2024, the Committee filed an amended C-4 report disclosing that the expenditure was made as a “Sponsors for the Kitsap Pride Festival.”</p><p><strong>PDC Report #101011585:</strong> On October 20, 2020, the Committee made a $8,723.96 expenditure to Capitol City Press for “Printing and mailing ballot/voters’ guide.” The ballot/voter guide listed the candidates endorsed by the Committee for the 2020 general election. On March 6, 2024, the Committee filed an amended C-4 report disclosing the printing and mailing of “70,000 ballot guide mailers” for the 2020 election cycle.</p><p><strong>PDC Report # 100995122:</strong> On August 25, 2020, the Committee made a $992.29 expenditure to TLS Printing to print “Biden-Harris Campaign Signs” for the 2020 election. On March 6, 2024, the Committee filed an amended C-4 report disclosing the printing of “205-yard signs and 205-wood stakes for Biden-Harris campaign signs.”</p><p>Concerning the other alleged violations as listed by example, the Committee either stated or staff found the following:</p><p><strong>Examples #1 and #43: </strong>Ms. Baxter stated she was the contributor for these two in-kind contributions as Committee Chair, and that the C-4 reports disclosed: (1) $31.67 for an in-kind contribution she made on June 27, 2022, for “a Kitsap Democrats holographic sticker” totaling $31.67; and (2) $78.47 for an in-kind contribution that was made on December 2, 2019, for “Postcards for membership requests.” The in-kind contribution was for Committee “postcards membership requests” which is an internal political communication and not political advertising, so the number of member postcards printed was not required. </p><p><strong>Examples #2, #6, & #44:</strong> Ms. Baxter stated that Melissa Lund is a caterer and is the vendor for the donated items described in the C-4 reports, which disclosed the following: (1) a $170 in-kind contribution for “Food, water, cutlery, etc. for annual picnic” for the Committee made on July 10, 2022; and (2) a $775 in-kind contribution for “Food and beverages for Holiday Party” was made on December 18, 2019. No amended information was required for these two in-kind contributions from an individual.</p><p><strong>Examples #3 & #5: </strong>These two allegations were for two Committee officers who made in-kind contributions to the Committee as follows: (1) Lillian Crawford contributed “Mailing envelopes and Avery labels” totaling $38.17 on July 29, 2022; and (2) Ginger Summerhauser donated “Velcro fasteners for use at fair booth” totaling $14.83 on August 23, 2022. No amended information was required for these two small in-kind contributions from two individual Committee Officers.</p><p><strong>Example #4:</strong> Johanna Baxter is the Chair of the Committee and stated she designed the “Political buttons” that she donated on August 19, 2022, with a value of $82. No amended information was required for this small in-kind contribution from the Committee Chair.</p><p><strong>Examples #7 - #42:</strong> Ms. Baxter stated the 2020 auction items donated were all disclosed as in-kind contributors, that most of the items donated were from individuals who were members of the party committee, and that most of the items donated were from member’s homes, items hung on their walls, or that have decorated their tables. She added other individuals donated either dinners that they had prepared, that they served at their home, or that were delivered to the winning bidder’s home. Finally, other individuals donated tickets from their “season” tickets for the ballet, the theatre, baseball, football, or other sporting events, etc... while other people are taking the winning bidder out to lunch at an agreed upon venue. She stated that the Committee properly identified those in-kind contributors which were timely disclosed on the March 2020 C-4 report.</p><p>PDC staff requested additional information from Ms. Baxter concerning the auction, and she stated that the March 2020 Committee Dinner and Auction event included a per person admission fee of $70 that included dinner and water. The Committee sold tickets for this event, and Ms. Baxter stated that in 2020 they were informed by PDC staff that the auction event could be reported one of two ways, either on the Schedule AU to C-3 report, or as in-kind contributions on the C-4 report and as monetary contributions on the C-3 reports. PDC staff queried and found a PDC email (Ticket #65526) from the Committee dated February 24, 2020). </p><p>The Committee disclosed the auction event by reporting in-kind contributions at the “fair market value” for each donated item on the C-4 report, and the Committee disclosed the purchasers of the auction items on a C-3 report as having made monetary contributions at the full amount paid for all auction items purchased by an individual, which includes any admission price paid by that individual.<br>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more detailed investigation into the complaint allegations or pursuing any further enforcement action in this instance. </p><p>In accordance with WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), PDC staff is issuing a formal written warning to the Kitsap County Democratic Central Committee (Committee) concerning the requirement to timely and accurately file Monetary Contributions reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) in the future. The warning includes providing the required expenditure descriptions such as the number of postcards printed, or yard signs produced and in-kind contribution information for items and services donated to the Committee on future C-4 reports filed with the PDC. The Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws and rules. </p><p>The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1415590.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141559 Kitsap Co D's Initial Hearing Results Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6118/141559%20Kitsap%20Co%20D%27s%20%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Kistap County Democratic Central Committee Response (PDC Case 141559).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6118/Kistap%20County%20Democratic%20Central%20Committee%20Response%20%28PDC%20Case%20141559%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Kistap County Dem's Complaint Return Ltr.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6118/Kistap%20County%20Dem%27s%20Complaint%20Return%20Ltr.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141559 Kitsap Co D's Initial Hearing Results Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6118/141559%20Kitsap%20Co%20D%27s%20%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141559 Kitsap County Democratic CC Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6118/141559%20Kitsap%20County%20Democratic%20CC%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]03/19/2024 01:06:55 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Facilities of a public office or agency include, but are not limited to, use of stationery, postage, machines, and equipment, use of employees of the office or agency during working hours, vehicles, office space, publications of the office or agency, and clientele lists of persons served by the office or agency.</li><li>Ms. Livdahl is an incumbent council member for the City of Poulsbo. She filed a Candidate Registrations (C-1) on May 26, 2023, selecting the Mini Reporting option. Her re-election campaign started on May 15, 2023, when she filed a candidate declaration.</li><li>In the complaint, you alleged that Ms. Livdahl misused her City of Poulsbo email address and mailing address as her political campaign email and mailing address on her candidate declaration and other campaign materials. Staff reviewed the candidate declaration and found that Ms. Livdahl had used her city email and the city’s official mailing address on her candidate registration. The complaint did not supply evidence that Ms. Livdahl had used her official city email address or the city’s official mailing address on other campaign materials and staff did not find any other instances of Ms. Livdahl using the city’s email address or mailing address on campaign materials.</li><li>On May 24, 2023, PDC staff notified Ms. Livdahl of the allegations in the complaint, and she responded the same day with “it was with naive ignorance that I used the City’s mailing address and email address on my election filing. I also called Kitsap County Elections immediately after receiving this email, and had them update the information for my election filing. … I have not intentionally broken any laws, and have worked swiftly to rectify the errors that I made in using the City for my campaign contact info. The City did not sanction or likely even know that I’d done so in the first place.”</li><li>Following Ms. Livdahl’s response to the complaint, PDC staff reviewed the candidate declaration and confirmed that the email address and mailing address on her election filing reflected nonofficial city information. It is unclear whether the website on the internet for Ms. Livdahl’s campaign is current; nevertheless, the website does not include any contact information for the candidate. </li><li>Your complaint also alleged that Ms. Livdahl used the City of Poulsbo’s official website to promote and fundraise for her political campaign. Staff reviewed the City of Poulsbo City Council website and found that the biography for Ms. Livdahl did have a link to Ms. Livdahl’s campaign website. The campaign website did not have any mechanism to support fundraising efforts.</li><li>Also on May 24, 2023, Ms. Livdahl responded to the complaint’s allegations about her official city biography by stating:</li></ul><p>I don’t know who is officially responsible for updating the City of Poulsbo website, but what I can tell you is that until a couple months ago there was no “biography” for me at all. Lin Wilson, the City’s new Special Events Coordinator, contacted me to say she’d like to get the website updated with Council bios, and could I please submit something. I neglected to submit a bio to her, and then she subsequently discovered that I have maintained a website since I was first elected in 2019. She told me not to worry about writing a bio for myself, that she’d just take info from my website to update the City Council bio page for me. At that point, unbeknownst to me, she also included the links to my workplace and my campaign website. She’s not familiar with the rules around this, and frankly I was unaware as well. I called Lin right after I got this email and asked her to update the website, which she did immediately. </p><ul><li>Following Ms. Livdahl’s response to the complaint, PDC staff reviewed the City of Poulsbo City Council website and confirmed the biography for Ms. Livdahl no longer included the links to her employer or her campaign website.</li><li>On June 6, 2023, PDC staff contacted Lin Wilson, who is the Special Events Coordinator for the City of Poulsbo, Parks & Recreation Department. Ms. Wilson confirmed that she was the person responsible for having updated the Councilmembers’ biographies on the city’s official website. </li><li>Ms. Wilson stated:</li></ul><p>“I am relatively new to the City however, and was not aware of the City’s protocol. In this instance, I had been reviewing the City Councilmember’s biographies on the City’s website and noticed that some of them were either outdated or did not include any information. I reached out to these Councilmembers and asked them to provide information that I could use to update their biographies. One of those Councilmembers was CM Livdahl. She told me that her campaign website included a biography I could use. I took that information and used it to update her bio on the City’s website. </p><p>“I come from a background in marketing with private sector clients. When publishing content in the private sector marketing world, the industry standard practice is to include a citation to where the information that is being published was obtained. In this case, because I took the biography from CM Livdahl’s campaign website, I included a link back to that website where I obtained the information.</p><p>“These links were live for approximately 3 months (from March 2023 to May 2023). When I was notified that the City website bios should not include links to campaign information, I promptly removed the embedded links.”</p><ul><li>On June 27, 2023, staff spoke with Ms. Wilson and confirmed that she self-assigned the task of updating the council member’s biographies on the city website. The mayor gave her approval to work with the councilmembers to get updated information, but she did not tell or confirm with anyone as she made the updates to the biographies, and no one oversaw her work. Based on Ms. Wilson’s actions, staff has included Ms. Wilson as a Respondent in this case.</li><li>Going forward, Ms. Wilson is only responsible to update certain pages and her manager will review the updates on those pages. The City Clerks will be the only staff authorized to update City Council pages.</li><li>The Respondents do not have other warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has decided that, in this instance, Brittany Livdahl and Lin Wilson’s use of facilities of a public office or agency for the purpose of assisting a campaign for election of any person to any office does not appear to be a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Brittany Livdahl and Lin Wilson will receive a formal written warning concerning their use of facilities of a public office or agency for the purpose of assisting a campaign for election of any person to any office.

However, he has since amended his F-1 reports to reflect the disclosure of both his residence and brokerage accounts. </p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff determined that, in this instance, failure to accurately and completely disclose certain financial information and intangible personal property on the F-1 report by the respondent is a violation that warrants no further investigation. </p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), the respondent received a formal written warning concerning his failure to disclose his residence on the F-1 report covering calendar year 2014, and for failing to report a broker-managed stock account on the F-1 report covering calendar years 2014 and 2015. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC found no further action and dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/533420.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "53342 Shanahan Patrick Response....pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3066/53342%20Shanahan%20Patrick%20Response....pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "53342 Shanahan Patrick Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3066/53342%20Shanahan%20Patrick%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "53342 Shanahan Patrick Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3066/53342%20Shanahan%20Patrick%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "53342 Shanahan Patrick Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3066/53342%20Shanahan%20Patrick%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]09/26/2019 09:18:34 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The report was eleven days late.</li><li>Regarding C-4 #110154145, the campaign states:</li></ul><p>We did indeed miss filing the May 2023 C4 by the deadline. This was done inadvertently because a May 2023 C4 was accidentally filed for a previous 2021 campaign committee also called Village for Davida in place of one for the current 2023 campaign. When this was discovered, we filed the correct May 2023 C4 immediately. We regret this small oversight and will pay careful attention it does not happen again.</p><ul><li>Staff reviewed the 2021 campaign record and confirmed a report for the 2023 campaign was erroneously filed under the 2021 campaign.</li><li>Staff further reviewed the 2023 campaign reporting record and found that events and signage related expenses, outlined in the complaint, were reported as June expenditures on the July C-4. This report was filed timely.</li><li>Per the reporting thresholds outlined in WAC 390-05-004, itemization of contributions of $100 and less is not required. The contributions referred to in Mr. Parker's complaint were each $100.</li><li>The Respondent does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our case review staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely file C-4 #110154145 does not amount to a violation that calls for further investigation. Staff further find there is no evidence to support the other allegations made by Mr. Parker. </p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Davida Haygood will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to promptly disclose all contribution and expenditure activities. PDC staff expects in the future that Ms. Haygood will follow disclosure requirements and reporting deadlines per PDC laws and rules. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1388860.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "138886 Haygood_Davida Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5951/138886%20Haygood_Davida%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "138886 Haygood_Davida Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5951/138886%20Haygood_Davida%20Response.pdf", "description" : "138886 Haygood_Davida Response", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "138886 Haygood Davida Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5951/138886%20Haygood%20Davida%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "138886 Haygood Davida Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]08/30/2023 12:18:43 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(AUG 2019)WAC 390-18-040, RCW 29B.30.070/42.17A.335Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsCandidate - Local<p>The PDC received a complaint alleging that Fa’izah Bradford (the “Respondent”) may have violated WAC 390-18-040 by using the term “reelect” in political advertising. PDC staff reviewed the allegation; the applicable statutes, rules and reporting requirements; and the response provided by the Respondent to determine whether they support a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>The Respondent, who was appointed to the office of School Director for Highline School District 401, position 5 through December of 2019, and is a 2019 candidate for the same position, sponsored the following political advertising sometime prior to August 3, 2019: 1) campaign signs saying “Re-Elect Fa’izah Bradford;” and 2) robocalls stating the Respondent is “running for reelection.”</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-18-040, the term “reelect” is used to represent that the candidate was elected to, and presently holds, the same office being sought. The term “retain” is used to indicate the candidate is an incumbent but does not represent that the office was obtained by election. The term “return” is used to indicate the candidate now holds, or previously held, the office being sought but does not represent that it was attained by election.</p><p>RCW 42.17A.335(1(b) prohibits a person from sponsoring political advertising that falsely represents that a candidate is the incumbent for the office when in fact the candidate is not an incumbent. However, subsection (3) of .335 states that it is not a violation for a candidate or their agent to make such a statement about the candidate himself or herself because a person cannot defame themselves. </p><p>In response to the allegation, the Respondent indicated her belief that it was acceptable to use the term “reelect” in political advertising because she currently holds the position as an appointee. The Respondent voluntarily agreed to correct her campaign signs no later than September 15, 2019 and use the terms “elect.” “return” or “retain” on any future robocalls.</p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s use of the term “reelect” to describe herself does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. The PDC finds that no further action is warranted. and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/560090.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "56009 Bradford Fa'izah Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3193/56009%20Bradford%20Fa%27izah%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "56009 Bradford Fa'izah Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3193/56009%20Bradford%20Fa%27izah%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "56009 Bradford Fa'izah Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3193/56009%20Bradford%20Fa%27izah%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]04/27/2021 11:54:37 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

(EY '19; Sep '19)RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240, RCW 29B.55.010/42.17A.700, RCW 29B.40.130/42.17A.445Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - Local<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed on September 26, 2019. Your complaint alleged that Phyllis Joy Gilfilen, a candidate for Whatcom County Sheriff in 2019, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.445(2) & WAC 390-16-238 for personal use of campaign funds; (2) RCW 42.17A.240 & WAC 390-16-037 for failure to accurately describe expenditures on Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports); and (3) RCW 42.17A.700 & .710 for failure to timely and accurately file Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) as a candidate.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Phyllis Joy Gilfilen; the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>The complaint included an additional allegation regarding a possible misuse of the Schedule A to the C-4 report’s un-itemized expenditures of $50 or less in the aggregate. No evidence was found that the JoyForSheriff campaign incorrectly disclosed expenditures reported in this section of the C-4 reports filed for the 2019 campaign.</p><p>Phyllis Joy Gilfilen was an unsuccessful candidate in 2015 and had a separate individual acting as her treasurer and filing campaign reports. During the 2019 Whatcom County Sheriff campaign, she served as her own treasurer and did not list any other officers or committee members.

The Committee, for both accounts, registered under the Full Reporting option as a continuing committee. The treasurer for both accounts is Cheyanna Strickland.</li><li>RCW 42.17.220(4) limits unidentified contributions (except for those made by individuals/persons whose names must be recorded and maintained by a political committee’s treasurer) in excess of one percent of the total accumulated contributions received in the current calendar year, or $300, whichever is more.</li><li>Staff noted that the Committee accepted $676.89 in anonymous contribution in excess of the one percent of accumulated contributions at that time allowed under the statutory scheme.</li><li>In its responses to the complaint, received on October 20, 2023, the Committee, by way of Dan Raas, stated: “We’ve determined that your number, $676.89, is correct.” “In 2020 we had a ‘tip jar’ at all of the community events in which we participated, at our campaign events and at our booth at the N.W. Washington Fair. Our volunteers at these events proudly brought the money to our former Treasurer, who duly reported the amounts on our PDC filings. No one was aware of a limit on cash donations below $25 not tied to a person or entity. As a result, our success resulted in collection of $676.89 above the amount permitted. We now watch the amount of small donations under $25 so as not to exceed the limit and no longer encourage anonymous cash donations.”</li><li>On October 31, 2023, PDC staff received a $676.89 payment from the Committee for escheatment to the State of Washington.</li><li>Per RCW 42.17A.235, under the Full Reporting Option, the Committee was required to disclose contribution and expenditure information by submitting Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports and Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports to the PDC. The Committee’s due dates for the C-3 and C-4 reports are determined by its activity and participation in the election cycle.</li><li>Amendments are insufficient evidence of late reporting. There are many reasons a committee might amend their reports and the mere presence of an amendment is not itself conclusive evidence of a violation. When considering C-3 and C-4s, these report amendments require inspection of the actual report to determine whether the committee has a requirement to report activity by a given date. As well, deciding if a report is late is not as simple as calculating the days late based on a periodic reporting timeline and when a report was filed but is fact specific to the campaign and its activities. In this instance, the evidence provided was insufficient to support the allegations of late or inaccurate reporting for the identified amended reports for years 2018 through 2023. </li><li>Specific to reporting for 2018, the alleged violations are beyond the statute of limitations. Per RCW 42.17A.770, action must be started within five years after the date when the alleged violation occurred. </li><li>Of the non-amended reports due in 2019 through 2023, outlined in the evidence provided, five reports in the exempt account and two reports in the non-exempt account showed a level of late-reported activity that would have deprived the public of critical information.</li><li>In 2022, C-3 reports for the non-exempt account, #110119671, 110119675, and 110118076, totaled to $7,706.00 in financial activity across the reports identified. Activities reported included an auction where most of the items were auctioned at below Fair Market Value, a surplus funds transfer from a candidate, and individual contributions. None of these reported items appears to be inaccurate.</li><li>In 2021, C-3 reports for the non-exempt account, #110068769 reported a contribution from the IAFF for $1,000 and #110043718 reported individual contributions for a total of $2,105.09.</li><li>In 2021, C-4 report #110077696 and #110075793 reported $10,0000 each in financial activity. Upon review of the reports, the activity was determined to be related to a $10,000 contribution made by the Lummi Indian Business Council. During the current investigation it was learned this same contribution was identified in an earlier complaint filed by you, #102127, and was resolved with a written warning. The Committee worked with PDC staff to ensure the reporting of this contribution is now correct.</li><li>The Committee has previously received a written warning for similar violations of RCW 42.17A.235.</li></ul><p>While our review found that the Whatcom County Democratic Central Committee accepted and deposited over the limit anonymous contribution(s) in violation of RCW 42.17A.220, the Committee took responsibility and promptly escheated the over limit anonymous contribution to the State of Washington. As well, at the time of your complaint and based on the evidence provided, the Committee was in substantial compliance for timely reporting of C-3 and C-4 reports specific to years 2019 – 2023.</p><p>However, per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the Whatcom County Democratic Central Committee will receive a formal warning letter concerning its failure to adhere to the statutory contribution limits outlined in RCW 42.17A.220 and failure to timely disclose expenditures & contributions in both the non-exempt and exempt accounts for election years 2019 through 2023 per RCW 42.17A.235. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that the Committee will follow statutory contribution limits and timely disclose expenditures and contributions moving forward. Additionally, the Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1410730.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141073 Whatcom County DCC Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6089/141073%20Whatcom%20County%20DCC%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "141073 Whatcom County Democratic Central Committee Complaint(2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6089/141073%20Whatcom%20County%20Democratic%20Central%20Committee%20Complaint%282%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141073 Whatcom County DCC Initial Hearing Results Letters (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6089/141073%20Whatcom%20County%20DCC%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20Letters%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "141073 Whatcom County Democratic Central Committee Initial Hearing Results Ltr", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141073 Whatcom County Democratic Central Committee Complaint(1).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6089/141073%20Whatcom%20County%20Democratic%20Central%20Committee%20Complaint%281%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141073 Whatcom County Democratic Central Committee Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6089/141073%20Whatcom%20County%20Democratic%20Central%20Committee%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141073 Whatcom County DCC Confirmation of Escheatment.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6089/141073%20Whatcom%20County%20DCC%20Confirmation%20of%20Escheatment.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]12/14/2023 02:08:33 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; and the Respondent’s reporting history to determine whether they support a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>Staff’s review found the following: </p><p>The Respondent registered as a candidate with the PDC by filing a C-1 report on March 21, 2019. On the C-1 report, the Respondent selected the Full Reporting Option. As a result, the Respondent is required to file periodic C-3 & C-4 reports, based on the election cycle, disclosing the campaign’s contribution and expenditure activities. Pursuant to WAC 390-16-037, expenditures disclosed on the C-4 report should be described “in detail,” including how the recipient of the expenditure (e.g. vendor) will use the goods and/or services purchased, and numerical descriptions (e.g. the number of items printed). </p><p>The Respondent did not timely report his candidate filing fee on a May C-4 report or sufficient describe an expenditure made to AMS Print & Mail Specialist on the campaign's 7-day pre-primary C-4 report. Upon being notified of the missing information, the Respondent took corrective action and made a good-faith effort to comply by amending the necessary reports. The Respondent indicated that noncompliance was the result of a misunderstanding. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to timely & accurately report his candidate filing fee and sufficiently describe an expenditure does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. However, the PDC reminded the Respondent about the importance of timely disclosing all expenditures, including the candidate filing fee and any in-kind loans or contributions from the candidate to his campaign. </p><p>The Respondent made minor or ministerial errors on his reports, which did not materially impact the public interest. Upon notification of the error, the Respondent timely amended his reports, making the necessary technical corrections. The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). <br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/581020.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "58102 Hammill Daniel Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3261/58102%20Hammill%20Daniel%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "58102 Hammill Daniel Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3261/58102%20Hammill%20Daniel%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "58102 Hammill Daniel Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3261/58102%20Hammill%20Daniel%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]04/26/2021 11:26:50 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

Because there are only two candidates for this position, Ms. McMahon Do will only appear on the general election ballot.</li><li>Ms. McMahon Do filed a declaration of candidacy on May 19, 2023, followed up by a Candidate Registration (C-1) on May 31, 2023, and Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1) on June 1, 2023, for the period 5/19/22 – 5/18/23. The start of her campaign was May 19, 2023.</li><li>PDC staff reviewed the campaign website using a web archiving tool and discovered that as early as July 12, 2023, sponsor identification was missing from the website. Per RCW 42.17A.320, “All written political advertising, …, shall include the sponsor’s name and address.” Once contacted, the campaign revised the website and as of August 8, 2023, the site included the required information for sponsor identification.</li><li>The campaign website showed contributions received as of July 12, 2023, for a total of $322.37 from six contributors. In their response to the complaint, the campaign reported paying out-of-pocket for a filing fee incurred on 5/19/23, having professional pictures for campaign purposes taken on 6/17/23, paying a domain fee, and commissioning campaign signs from Renton Printery on 6/30/23. Ms. McMahon Do says “the signs were designed entirely by my husband and myself … the website was developed using Google Sites (a free service) by my husband. It was the intent of the campaign to pay back out-of-pocket costs if fundraising was successful.”</li><li>Per RCW 42.17A.235 a candidate shall file a C-4 report on the tenth of each month if contributions are received or an expenditure is made in the preceding month and the total financial activity exceeds $750 dollars aggregate. Other than the 21-day and 7-day pre-election reports, reporting may be deferred until the threshold is met. Any time reports are deferred, the campaign must retroactively file reports for the period deferred. The PDC does not consider deferred reports late if they are filed timely once the financial activity threshold is exceeded. Per RCW 42.17A.220 all monetary contributions shall be deposited within five business days of receipt and per .235 a C-3 report showing those contributions is due the Monday following the deposit.</li><li>The first report due from the campaign would have been a C-3 for contribution activity that started in May 2023 and then subsequent C-3s for June and July 2023 contribution activity. The first C-4 would not have been due until contribution and expenditure activity exceeded $750 which appears to have occurred in July making a monthly C-4 report due on August 10, 2023. The candidate was not on the primary ballot so a 21-day and 7-day C-4 were not due before the primary election. Therefore, the campaign has the following late reporting:</li><li>C3110167069, due 6/10 filed 8/19</li><li>C3110167068, due 6/26 filed 8/19</li><li>C3110167071, due 7/17 filed 8/19</li><li>C311016702, due 7/17 filed 8/19</li><li>C3110163762, due 7/24 filed 8/3</li><li>C4110175615, due 8/10 filed 9/27</li><li>C4110175703, due 8/10 filed 9/29</li><li>C4110175615, due 9/11 filed 9/27</li></ul><p> </p><ul><li>As of October 6, 2023, the campaign reported $4,905.54 received in contributions of which the candidate lent $694.42 to their campaign. There was $1,242.65 reported in expenditures.</li><li>The Respondent does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>This is a campaign formed of the candidate and her husband as Treasurer, and neither has prior campaign management experience. The campaign said in their response to the complaint that the missed reporting of out-of-pocket expenses was an oversight “due to the campaign personnel not realizing that out of pocket expenses needed to be reported. This will be noted moving forward.” The campaign also had a misunderstanding of the timeline for when reports were due and with help from our filer assistance staff, they worked effectively to get their reporting up to date and correct.</p><p>Based on our case review, staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely show expenditures and contributions; and failure to show sponsor ID on a campaign website does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Melissa McMahon Do will receive a formal written warning concerning their failure to timely and accurately show expenditures and contributions; and failure to disclose sponsor ID on a campaign website. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Ms. McMahon Do maintain their campaign website per PDC requirements and timely file all required reports of contributions and expenditures throughout the rest of the 2023 campaign as well as in future years. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1403140.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "140314 McMahon-Do_Melissa Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6067/140314%20McMahon-Do_Melissa%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "140314 McMahon-Do_Melissa Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6067/140314%20McMahon-Do_Melissa%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "140314 McMahon Do Melissa Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6067/140314%20McMahon%20Do%20Melissa%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]03/12/2024 03:41:45 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Among other things, a committee is required to report the name and contact information for all related or affiliated committees and the nature of the relationship or affiliation.

Electioneering, and Independent Expenditures, must include the name and address of the sponsor. Use of an assumed name is unlawful. Sponsor identification should appear on the first page or fold of the political advertising, in at least ten-point type, and be set apart from any other printed matter. WAC 390-18-010 indicates that all advertising must clearly state that it has been paid for by the sponsor. Political advertising undertaken as an independent expenditure or an electioneering communication by a person other than a bona fide political party must also include the statement “No candidate authorized this ad.

The Respondent stated they had not raised any contributions and that they alone funded the expenditures, which did not exceed $1,000, for the website and mailer that was distributed in July 2025. On October 28, 2025, the Respondent followed up with a written statement, published to the PDC Enforcement Cases website, and stated that “the website and mailer were directed towards influencing city officials, ensuring they provide honesty and accountability at the municipal level. … These communications commenced while this [the budget] was still an active issue in our community; one upon which the Mayor and Council could still act. The City had a deadline of August 5 to act (as it pertains to this year) and all my communications and updating of the site was done with this date in mind.” </span></div><div><span>•<span> </span>The Respondent has further stated that they “delivered [the mailer] to the post office on July 17” and that they “believed it reached mailboxes on July 19 or 21.” </span></div><div><span>•<span> </span>The website and mailer did not advocate for or against a candidate or ballot proposition so are not political advertising as defined in RCW 42.17A.005(40).</span></div><div><span>•<span> </span>The Respondent said they contacted PDC staff in January 2025 regarding plans to communicate with the public and was advised at that time that the activity appeared to be local lobbying not subject to regulation by the PDC. However, because of eventual timing of the communications just prior to the primary election, PDC staff reviewed RCW 42.17A.005(21)(a) and (30)(a), RCW 42.17A.255 and RCW 42.17A.260 to determine if the website and mailer were independent expenditures (IE) or electioneering communications (EC).</span></div><div>o<span> </span>The combined cost of the website and mailer was not $2,000 or more. Therefore, PDC staff determined the communications do not appear to meet the criteria requiring reporting on an Independent Spending & Electioneering Communications (C-6) report per RCW 42.17A.305. </div><div><span>o<span> </span>However, the materials were presented within sixty days of an election and did reference the Lake Forest City Council members, several of whom were running for re-election in 2025.

PDC staff confirmed with Mr. Root that a conversation did occur, and he agreeed it occurred on or around July 15, 2025. However, Mr. Root has stated to the PDC that “I do not recall the specific wording or details, nor do I recall any request for – or agreement to – a formal endorsement.” Mr. Root further stated, “I do not recall ever being asked for an endorsement, nor do I believe I ever agreed to one—because I have consistently chosen not to offer formal endorsements to any other candidates, and this would never have been part of any casual conversation.” </div><div><br></div><div>•<span> </span>Staff also spoke with a witness to the July 15, 2025, conversation, a Kitsap County Commissioner, who overheard the conversation between you and Mr. Root. The witness stated that she did not know what exactly was said but the conversation was brief and appeared friendly. She remembers that Mr. Moriwaki seemed grateful and that he believed Mr. Root had given his support. She said that she “had the impression that Oran was endorsing and otherwise supportive of Clarence in his role on the Bainbridge City Council.” She specifically cannot say with certainty that Mr. Root understood their conversation was a formal endorsement and that she thought the resulting situation was a misunderstanding.</div><div><br></div><div>•<span> </span>Oran Root was not on the ballot for reelection in 2025.</div><div><br></div><div>•<span> </span>You do not have previous warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</div><div><br></div><div>Summary and Resolution</div><div><br></div><div>PDC staff have determined there is no evidence indicating that you acted with reckless disregard for the truth.

Ms. Roberts was also a 2022 candidate seeking election to the office of Clark County Council Member, Position #2. </p><p>The complaint alleged that the 2021 Chartisha Roberts Campaign violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to timely and accurately file a 2021 Post Primary Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure Report (C-4 report); and (2) RCW 42.17A.490 by failing to receive permission from 2021 contributors to her Vancouver school board Campaign that made up her final surplus funds balance prior to transferring those funds into her 2022 County Council race.</p><p>On June 14, 2021, Chartisha Roberts filed a Candidate Registration declaring her candidacy for School Board Member, Position #2 on the Vancouver School Board, selecting the Full Reporting Option and listed herself as Treasurer and the only Officer. Ms. Roberts was a first-time candidate for public office in 2021, who came in third in a four-way contested 2021 primary election, and her name did not appear on the 2021 general election ballot.</p><p>The 2021 Post-Primary Election C-4 report was a required filing for all candidates under the Full Reporting option and appearing on the primary election ballot. The Post-Primary Election C-4 report covered the period July 27 through August 31, 2021, and was required to have been filed by the 2021 Elect Chartisha Roberts Campaign (2021 Campaign) no later than September 10, 2021. </p><p>On November 17, 2022, the 2021 Campaign filed the 2021 Post-Primary Election C-4 report, disclosing $1,450 in monetary contributions received and $9,698.32 in expenditures made that included the following: (1) A $4,980.11 expenditure made to Morel Ink on August 11, 2021, for a “Mailer, printing, postage, handling, 6,000 pieces”; (2) A $2,250 expenditure made to NW Union Solutions on August 10, 2021, for Campaign “Manager contact payment”; (3) A $1,466.38 expenditure made to Morel Ink on July 27, 2021, for “Printing Campaign signs: Yard Signs – 7 large, 50 small”; and (4) A $679.21 expenditure made to Morel Ink on July 27, 2021, to print “5,000 walk pieces.”</p><p>The 2021 Post-Primary Election C-4 report was filed 433 days late by the Campaign. Ms. Manning went on to state that “there is no real excuse for this omission, I can only provide the extenuating circumstances surrounding the failure. Chartisha had attempted to do her own compliance work for the 2021 campaign, so there was no official treasurer. Her family helped with data entry but did not necessarily understand the rules of compliance.” After being defeated in the primary, she stated that Ms. Roberts experienced the normal feelings as any losing candidate “but she also had a family emergency…(which is) not as an excuse but as a reason why some campaign things were overlooked.”<br><br>On December 22, 2022, PDC staff received a signed Statement of Understanding (SOU) completed by Ms. Roberts, acknowledging one violation of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by her 2021 Campaign for failing to timely file the 2018 Post Primary Election C-4 report, along with a check for $150 for penalty assessed in the matter. The signed SOU and $150 penalty payment resolves the allegation concerning the missing C-4 report. </p><p>On May 10, 2022, Ms. Roberts filed a Candidate Registration declaring her candidacy and seeking election to the office of Clark County Council Member Position 2, selecting the Full Reporting Option and listed Marsha Manning as the Ministerial Treasurer. Ms. Manning was only the Ministerial Treasurer for Ms. Roberts 2022 County Council Campaign but provided a response concerning the late filed 2021 Post-Primary C-4 report. </p><p>Concerning the allegation of transferring 2021 Campaign surplus funds into the 2022 Campaign without first obtaining permission of contributors, Ms. Manning stated a total of $176.29 in 2021 Campaign surplus funds remained in the Campaign bank account. When she came on board the 2022 Campaign as Treasurer, she stated that was not familiar with the details of the 2021 Campaign, and she started the 2022 campaign with $176.29 beginning balance that she disclosed as “candidate’s personal funds”. She stated that appeared “to be an error on my part. I should have shown that as Surplus from the previous campaign. I can follow through on an amendment if you deem that is necessary.”<br><br>After speaking with PDC Staff, Ms. Manning confirmed that Ms. Roberts wrote a personal check to her 2022 campaign account in the amount of $176.29 to cover money that was left over from the 2021 Campaign and transferred into the 2022 Campaign. The 2022 Campaign filed a new C-3 report disclosing the beginning balance of $176.29 as a Miscellaneous Receipt rather than the previously reported candidate’s personal funds. The C-3 report included the attached description stating “Chartisha contributed $176.29 in personal funds to reimburse the 2022 Campaign for monies from the 2021 campaign inadvertently carried forward into the Council race on RepNo 110085559.” </p><p>Ms. Manning stated that the 2022 Campaign made two final expenditures for the $176.29 in funds contributed by Ms. Roberts, that included the $150 penalty payment for the SOU, and a $26.29 expenditure made to an approved charity to close the Campaign bank account. In addition, the Campaign filed a final C-4 report to close the 2021 Campaign account with a zero balance. </p><p>Based on these findings, including the facts that Ms. Roberts was a first-time candidate for public office in 2021, served as her own Treasurer, completed an SOU, and paid a $150 civil penalty to resolve the late filed report, and has no prior complaints or PDC violations, PDC staff found no evidence of further violations that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any enforcement action in this instance. </p><p>Concerning the transfer of 2021 surplus funds into Chartisha Roberts 2022 Clark County Council race, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the PDC is issuing a formal written warning to her about the requirement for a candidate to receive permission from contributors, whether the funds are active or surplus funds, prior to transferring those funds into the campaign account for a different office being sought. </p><p>The formal written warning includes staff’s expectation that Chartisha Roberts will adhere to the reporting requirements, including the provision to receive permission from contributors prior to transferring funds in the Campaign account for a different office being sought for any future candidacy. The Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action, should there be future violations of PDC laws or rules. </p><p>The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/113883150.000.000.00150.000.00false[{"file_name" : "SOU - 113883 Roberts.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5608/SOU%20-%20113883%20Roberts.pdf", "description" : "SOU - 113883 Roberts", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "Chartisha Roberts Email Response to Complaint (PDC Case 113883).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5608/Chartisha%20Roberts%20Email%20Response%20to%20Complaint%20%28PDC%20Case%20113883%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113883 Roberts Chartisha Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5608/113883%20Roberts%20Chartisha%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Roberts, Chartisha Complaint Return Letter with SOU (PDC Case 113883).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5608/Roberts%2C%20Chartisha%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20with%20SOU%20%28PDC%20Case%20113883%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}][{"who" : "Chartisha Roberts", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2022-12-30", "amount" : 150.00, "description" : "Statement of Understanding", "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2022-12-16", "amount" : 150.00, "description" : "PAID - SOU"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]01/17/2023 01:27:30 PMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

The three complaints have been combined into one case resolution letter to more efficiently use PDC staff resources, and alleged violations of: (1) RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failing to timely and accurately file the initial Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and the Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), including providing the required descriptions for expenditures and in-kind contributions for the 2024 election cycle; and (2) RCW 42.17A.405 by receiving and depositing monetary contributions that exceeded the 2024 primary contribution limits for a contributor. </p><p>On March 14, 2024, Justin Brown filed a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) with the PDC declaring his candidacy for the office of Cowlitz County Commissioner, Position #2 in the 2024 election cycle, selecting the Full Reporting option, and listing Dave Knoyle as the Campaign Treasurer. Mr. Brown is a first-time candidate seeking public office in the 2024 election cycle, and Mr. Knoyle is a first-time Campaign Treasurer. </p><p>• The Campaign timely filed the initial C-4 report on April 10, 2024, covering the period March 8 through 31, 2024, disclosing $2,450 in monetary contributions received that included $359.05 for in-kind contributions received, and $377.18 in expenditures made. </p><p>The Campaign filed three initial C-3 reports totaling $2,550 on April 16, 2024, six days late. The C-3 reports disclosed: (1) $2,250 for three monetary contributions received and deposited on March 18, 2024, that included $1,500 in monetary contributions received from David Knoyle, Treasurer, and a $500 and $250 monetary contribution received from two individuals; (2) a C-3 report totaling $200 for two $100 monetary contributions received on March 28, 2024 from two individuals; and (3) a $100 candidate contribution received and deposited on March 6, 2024, to open the Campaign bank account. </p><p>The initial C-4 report filed by Campaign listed two bank deposits made during the period totaling $2,450 that included a $2,250 deposit made on March 18, 2024, and a $200 deposit made on March 29, 2024, and the $100 candidate contribution was listed as the beginning balance. The C-4 report disclosed two expenditures were made to Minuteman Press on March 8, 2024 totaling $301 for “Campaign Posters and Buttons”, and the Campaign received two in-kind contributions that included a $292 in-kind contribution from Mr. Brown for “Campaign materials and Supplies” for a candidate “meet and greet”, and a $66.88 in-kind contribution for Campaign buttons received from an individual contributor. </p><p>PDC staff requested the Campaign file an amended C-4 for the initial filing to disclose: (1) the number of posters printed and buttons produced for the in-kind contributions that were donated by candidate Brown; (2) the number of buttons produced that were donated by Ione Pang; and (3) the number of “Campaign Posters and Buttons” produced for the two expenditures made to Minuteman Press on March 8, 2024, that totaled $301.</p><p>On June 12, 2024, the Campaign filed an amended initial C-4 report disclosing the two expenditures made to Minuteman Press on March 8, 2024, that totaled $301 was for “4 Campaign Posters, and 75 Campaign Buttons”; the $292.17 in-kind contribution from the candidate was for “40 buttons and 4 posters”; and the $66.88 in-kind contribution from Ione Pang was for “35 Campaign Buttons.”</p><p>Concerning the allegation that contributions limits were exceeded for the 2024 primary, it appears that the Campaign Treasurer David Knoyle made a $1,500 monetary contribution on March 18, 2024, in which the Campaign attributed $1,200 to the 2024 primary election, and $300 to the 2024 general election. On May 7, 2024, the Campaign timely filed the April C-4 report disclosing $800 in monetary contributions received, $302 for in-kind contributions received, and $1,199.56 in expenditures. The C-4 report disclosed that on April 15, 2024, the Campaign made a $300 expenditure to refund a portion of the $1,5000 contribution received from Mr. Knoyle on March 28, 2024. </p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of violations that would require conducting a more formal review or investigation into the complaint or pursuing any further enforcement action in this instance. </p><p>Concerning the allegation that contribution limits were exceeded, staff’s review found there are six candidates for Cowlitz County Commissioner, Position #2, that will be appearing on the August 6, 2024 primary election ballot, including Mr. Brown. The 2024 per candidate contribution limits for Cowlitz County Commissioner, Position #2 are $1,200 for the primary and $1,200 for the general election, for each candidate that appears on the ballot for that specific election. While the Campaign timely refunded a $300 contribution to Mr. Knoyle, the $300 contribution from Mr. Knoyle that was attributed to the 2024 general election would not have exceeded contribution limits unless Mr. Brown did not advance to the 2024 general election. Thus, the 2024 contribution limits were not exceeded in this instance and at this time.</p><p>In accordance with WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), PDC staff is issuing a formal written warning to Justin Brown concerning the requirement to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports for the remainder of 2024 election cycle, and for future calendar years should he become a candidate again. </p><p>The warning letter includes the requirement that Justin Brown provide the required expenditure and in-kind contribution information and descriptions, such as sub-vendor name and address, and the number of political advertisements or the goods or services that were provided. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws/rules. </p><p>The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). <br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1526110.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "152611 Brown, Justin Complaint Return Ltr.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6656/152611%20Brown%2C%20Justin%20Complaint%20Return%20Ltr.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "152611 Brown Justin Supplemental Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6656/152611%20Brown%20Justin%20Supplemental%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "152611 Brown Justin Supplemental Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "152611 Brown Justin Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6656/152611%20Brown%20Justin%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "152611 Justin Brown Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6656/152611%20Justin%20Brown%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]06/25/2024 10:24:38 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; and the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent to determine whether they support a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.700, candidates are required to file a Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) with the PDC, certifying financial activity for the preceding twelve months, within two weeks of becoming a candidate. The information to be disclosed on the F-1 report includes, among other things, any officer, director or member positions held with - and ownership interest in - any corporation or limited liability company. </p><p>According to documents filed with the WA State Secretary of State’s Office, the Respondent held the positions of “Director,” “Secretary” and “Governor” (governing person) with Puget Sound Access from 2008-2013, 2014-2016, and 2018 respectively. Documents filed with the Secretary of State’s Office also show that the Respondent held the positions of “Member/Manager” and “Governor” (governing person) with Emerald City Media in 2017 and 2018 respectively.</p><p>The Respondent said he contacted the PDC in 2017 to ask whether volunteer, non-profit board member positions needed to be disclosed on the F-1 report and was told that the question was being evaluated by the PDC. The Respondent subsequently amended his F-1 report for 2017 to disclose his 2016 position with the Puget Sound Access “to be on the safe side.” </p><p>The Respondent’s positions with Emerald City Media, LLC and Puget Sound Access were not disclosed on his F-1 report covering 2017. On the F-1 report covering 2018, the Respondent’s position with Emerald City Media, LLC was reported but the position with Puget Sound Access was not disclosed. </p><p>In his response to the allegation, the Respondent explained that Emerald City Media, LLC is a self-funded video production project from which he derives no income. The Respondent’s failure to report Emerald City Media, LLC on his F-1 report covering 2017 was due to his erroneous belief that unpaid positions did not need to be disclosed on an F-1 report. </p><p>The Respondent also stated he contacted the PDC again, prior to becoming a candidate for election year 2019, to find out if the agency had completed its evaluation regarding reporting voluntary, nonprofit positions on the F-1 report but said he never received a reply. As a result, the Respondent said he stepped down from his board member position with Puget Sound Access in May of 2019. Uncertainty regarding PDC requirements contributed to the Respondent’s failure to report his 2017-2018 relationship with Puget Sound Access on F-1 reports. The Respondent made a good-faith effort to resolve non-compliance by amending his F-1 reports to include the missing information for Emerald City Media, LLC and Puget Sound Access. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately report business ownership interest and non-profit board directorship on F-1 reports does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. PDC staff reminded the Respondent about the importance of fully disclosing business ownership interest and both paid and unpaid positions on the F-1 report. The PDC finds that no further action is warranted, and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/555930.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "55593 Anderson Tony Complaint With Attachments.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3150/55593%20Anderson%20Tony%20Complaint%20With%20Attachments.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "55593 Anderson Tony Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3150/55593%20Anderson%20Tony%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "55593 Anderson Tony Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3150/55593%20Anderson%20Tony%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]04/27/2021 09:53:48 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

In addition, the violation must be proven by clear and convincing evidence.</p><p>It is clear from the evidence that Tracie Markley endorsed Jesse Young for State Senate but disagreed with the Washington State Republican Party’s (WSRP’s) failure to request permission and receive authorization to use the specific quotations attributed to her, or to use the photographs of her, in their mailer supporting Jesse Young. The failure of the WSRP to clearly state Tracie Markley was speaking as an individual, and not in her capacity as Mayor of Gig Harbor, does not alter the fact that Tracie Markley endorsed Jesse Young.</p><p>Therefore, staff determined that in this instance, the use of quotations attributable to Tracie Markley along with photographs of Tracie Markley, in a mailer supporting Jesse Young for State Senator, does not appear to be a violation of RCW 42.17A.335(1)(c) warranting further investigation.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1138880.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "113888 Combined Closure Letters.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5609/113888%20Combined%20Closure%20Letters.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113888 Response to Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5609/113888%20Response%20to%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113888 WA State Republican Party Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5609/113888%20WA%20State%20Republican%20Party%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/07/2025 04:49:32 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The campaign start date was also identified as November 23, 2022.</li><li>The next Governor of Washington general election will occur on November 5, 2024. Martin Wheeler has not yet filed a declaration of candidacy with the Washington State Secretary of State’s office.</li><li>Per RCW 42.17.700, a Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) was due from Martin Wheeler no later than two weeks after becoming a candidate. Mr. Wheeler, once notified by the PDC, filed the F-1 report on June 7, 2023, for the period of 11/23/2021 – 11/22/22. The report was 183 days late. The report was later amended on June 26, 2023.</li><li>Mr. Wheeler indicated in his response to the complaint that in 2022 his accountant with Brink and Saddler “made a very large upgrade with computers to include Public Disclosure Commission, (PDC) software for Martin Wheeler, Gubernatorial Candidate for the State of Washington 2024. All information is still the same and has not changed for Martin Wheeler. During the process of testing of the software, it was overlooked by accident for the F-1 filing for 2022.”</li><li>Mr. Wheeler has no prior violations of RCW 42.17A.700.</li></ul><p> The late filing of the F-1 report by Martin Wheeler was an oversight and not done to withhold personal financial information from the public. Although late, the F-1 was filed well in advance of the relevant election.</p><p>Based on our case review staff has decided that, in this instance, failure to timely file the candidate F-1 report no later than two weeks after becoming a candidate does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Martin Wheeler will receive a formal written warning concerning his failure to follow filing requirements for timely filing of the Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report). PDC staff expects in the futurethat Martin Wheeler will file all campaign reports on time following PDC laws and rules. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is called for and has dismissed the matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1) and WAC 390-37-060(1)(a).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1373180.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "137318 Wheeler_Martin Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5807/137318%20Wheeler_Martin%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "137318 Wheeler_Martin Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5807/137318%20Wheeler_Martin%20Response.pdf", "description" : "137318 Wheeler Martin Response", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "137318 Wheeler Martin L Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5807/137318%20Wheeler%20Martin%20L%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "137318 Wheeler Martin L Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]07/19/2023 10:52:19 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(2):Alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.495 & WAC 390-17-100 for failure to obtain proper employee authorization forms for political contribution payroll deductions and maintain for public inspection. (May 19)WAC 390-17-100, RCW 29B.40.230/42.17A.495Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsEmployer Payroll<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed by the Freedom Foundation on May 20, 2019. The complaint alleged that the 19 named respondents may have violated RCW 42.17A.495 and WAC 390-17-100 for failure to maintain copies of payroll deduction authorizations for public inspection, deducting employee wages for contributions to political committees without first obtaining proper employee authorization forms, and for failure to allow employees to determine the amount of their wages to deduct for contributions to political committees on employee authorization forms. <br>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes and rules; and a response provided by Wayne Gold Jr. on behalf of Doubl-Kold to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. <br><br>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, no evidence supports a finding of a violation warranting further investigation. The PDC’s action was taken because Freedom Foundation did not submit evidence of violations obtained from individual employers/contractors. <br><br>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).

Thank you to Mr. Morgan for bringing this to our attention, listing her originally as a candidate for state representative was an inadvertent clerical error.” Mr. Lloyd stated that the “Fuse Voter’s Guide has always correctly shown that Representative Shewmake as a candidate” for State Senator” in the 42nd Legislative District for the 2022 election cycle on the Fuse Votes website. </p><p>On October 6, 2022, the Committee filed the following two amended C-6 reports: (1) Rep No #11507, amended Rep No #11331 and disclosed the same $18,120.40 in Independent Expenditures, Box #1 made on July 7, 2022, as listed on the initial C-6 report for Fuse Washington staff time spent on the online Voters Guide; and (2) Rep No #11508, amended Rep No #11488 and disclosed the same $28,198.23 in Independent Expenditures, Box #1 made on September 27, 2022, as listed on the initial C-6 report for Fuse Washington staff time spent on the online Voters Guide. </p><p>The two amended C-6 reports filed by the Committee correctly disclosed that Sharon Shewmake was a 2022 candidate for State Senator in the 42nd Legislative District as a Democrat. </p><p>On October 13, 2022, the Committee filed an amended C-6 report, Rep No #11548, amended Rep No #11315 and disclosed the same $2,107.98 in Independent Expenditures, Box #1 made on June 16, 2022, as listed on the initial C-6 report for Fuse Washington staff time spent on the online Voters Guide. The amended C-6 report listed that Sharon Shewmake was a 2022 candidate for State Senator in the 42nd Legislative District as a Democrat.</p><p>PDC staff has determined that, in this instance, the Committee’s failure to correctly list the office being sought by Sharon Shewmake, does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. Fuse Votes PAC promptly and timely filed the requested amended C-6 reports listed above disclosing the required information as soon as the deficiency concerning the office being sought by Representative Shewmake was brought to its attention. </p><p>The initial C-6 reports filed by the Fuse Votes PAC checked bx #1 on the C-6 report, which were timely filed and substantially complied with the independent expenditure reporting requirements. Fuse Votes PAC made a ministerial error on the required C-6 reports, which had minimal, if any impact on the public interest, and was mitigated by the fact that the Committee timely listed the candidate and the amount of the independent expenditure on the C-6 reports, but included the wrong office being sought. </p><p>While the report incorrectly listed the office being sought by Sharon Shewmake as State Representative (for which she is the incumbent) rather than State Senator, the information on Fuse Washington’s website for Sharon Shewmake included in the online Voters Guide correctly listed the office being sought as State Senator. Upon notification of the errors, Fuse Votes PAC timely amended the pertinent C-6 reports, making the necessary technical corrections as requested by staff. </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter as a technical correction in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1128920.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "112892 FUSE Votes PAC Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5567/112892%20FUSE%20Votes%20PAC%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "FUSE Votes PAC Complaint Response (Morgan) PDC Case 112892.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5567/FUSE%20Votes%20PAC%20Complaint%20Response%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20Case%20112892.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "FUSE Votes PAC Complaint Return Ltr (Morgan) PDC Case 112892.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5567/FUSE%20Votes%20PAC%20Complaint%20Return%20Ltr%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20Case%20112892.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Technical correction"}]10/19/2022 03:34:51 PMPDC staff resolved case after correction of minor or ministerial error.

PDC staff's investigation found that the Campaign purchased 732 copies of <i>American Cop</i> and used the books as a fundraiser. That resulted in the Campaign receiving a total of $10,230 in net contributions from the proceeds of the sale. </p><p>The sale of the book <i>American Cop</i> was directly related to Loren Culp’s campaign for Governor of Washington State, and was part of the campaign fundraising strategy. While the sales price of the books sold to the Campaign were based on the fair market value, due to his ownership interest in American Cop, Mr. Culp nonetheless personally benefitted from the sale of the books purchased directly from the publisher at the wholesale price. </p><p>Staff found that a potential conflict of interest exists where, as here, a candidate or his/her business provides goods or services to his/her campaign, and may profit from that sale, in this case of the book <i>American Cop</i>. </p><p>However, there are a number of mitigating factors in this specific instance that renders the allegation as a minor violation of RCW 42.17A, including that: (1) Mr. Culp is a first-time candidate for public office; (2) a demand for the book <i>American Cop</i> existed prior to Mr. Culp declaring his candidacy for Governor; and (3) the Culp for Governor Campaign disclosed receiving $278,991 in total contributions received through April 30, 2020, so the $10,230 paid by the Campaign for the books, and the $10,230 netted for the Campaign, each represents a small percentage of total Campaign funds. </p><p>To resolve this violation, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Mr. Culp will receive a formal written warning concerning the payments made to him through his business, American Cop, based on the sale of books to the Campaign using Campaign funds. Mr. Culp will be informed that the Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>The PDC dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/643310.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "64331 Culp Loren Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3466/64331%20Culp%20Loren%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Culp Loren Complaint Return Letter with warning cover ltr (Evans) PDC Case 64331.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3466/Culp%20Loren%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20with%20warning%20cover%20ltr%20%28Evans%29%20PDC%20Case%2064331.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "64331 Culp Loren Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3466/64331%20Culp%20Loren%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Culp, Loren Report of Investigation with exhibit (Evans) PDC Case 64331.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3466/Culp%2C%20Loren%20Report%20of%20Investigation%20with%20exhibit%20%28Evans%29%20PDC%20Case%2064331.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Loren Culp Initial Hearing Results Respondent Letter (PDC Case 64331).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3466/Loren%20Culp%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20Respondent%20Letter%20%28PDC%20Case%2064331%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]06/03/2020 10:58:55 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(EY 23; July 23)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240, RCW 29B.40.020/42.17A.405Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>Three complaints were filed against the 2023 Lisa Brown for Spokane Mayor Campaign, alleging violations of: (1) RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file contribution and expenditure reports, including debts and expenditure details; (2) RCW 42.17A.405 by receiving an in-kind contribution that exceeded the 2023 primary contribution limits; and (3) RCW 42.17A.430 by making an expenditure using campaign funds to attend a Spokane County Democratic Central Committee (SCDCC) fundraising event, and that a portion of the campaign funds used to purchase a sponsorship at the event ended up being a contribution to the SCDCC. </p><p>On March 2, 2023, Lisa Brown filed a Candidate Registration with the PDC declaring her candidacy for election to the office of Mayor for the City of Spokane, selecting the Full Reporting option, and listing Andy Taylor, as Ministerial Campaign Treasurer. </p><p>Specifically, your complaint alleged that the that the Campaign failed to timely file one C-4 report; accurately file C-4 reports providing the complete descriptions for some expenditures; failure to disclose debts, orders placed, or obligations owed for management and consulting services; exceeding contribution limits for two in-kind contributions received, and spending active campaign funds, a portion of which was a contribution to a political party committee. </p><p>In the response, Mr. Taylor stated the following concerning the allegations listed in the initial complaint filed on July 13, 2023, and the supplemental complaint that was filed on July 21, 2023, against the Campaign:</p><p>1. The Campaign “inadvertently filed” the 21-Day Pre-Primary Election C-4 report two days late. Mr. Taylor stated the Campaign missed “checking the box” in the PDC’s Online Reporting of Campaign Activities (ORCA) campaign finance filing software indicating “the candidate is participating in the primary election.” He stated by not checking the proper box in ORCA, the Campaign did not receive the filing reminders through the ORCA software. He added that the Campaign has corrected that issue in ORCA “by ensuring that box is checked, and reminders will be activated.”</p><p>2. The $1,079.10 Campaign expenditure made to Mountain Dog Sign Company on April 4, 2023, “was for one large sign with 2 polycarbonate panels for the outside of the campaign office” and not for multiple yard signs. The Campaign has amended the C-4 report to disclose that information.<br><br>3. The Campaign did not initially believe that the invoices for the Desautel Hege (DH) Management, Consulting and Marketing services triggered a reporting “obligation to record them as a debt because we made all payments on that invoice within the same reporting period.” In addition, the Campaign’s initial review of the DH invoice stated, “net 30, meaning that the payment was not due for 30 days.” However, after the Campaign “re-examined the situation” it was determined that the Campaign should have recorded the DH “invoice as a debt and payments against that invoice as satisfaction of the debt.” Mr. Taylor stated that the Campaign had filed the relevant amended C-4 reports for this allegation.</p><p>4. The Campaign inadvertently misspelled the contributor’s name for Andy Billig and the proper state in the address for the PayPal contribution that was received from Mr. Billig. The Campaign filed an amended C-3 report correcting the name and state for that contributor.</p><p>5. The Campaign did not exceed the 2023 primary contribution limits for the two $1,000 in-kind contributions that were initially disclosed as coming from Hamilton Studio on March 6, 2023. Mr. Taylor stated that the two principals of Hamilton Studio, Don Hamilton, and Lorna St. John, each individually made a $1,000 in-kind contribution to the campaign for the services provided for the 2023 primary election. He stated, “this was a mistake in reporting” and that the Campaign has filed an amended C-4 report to reflect this and added that the original invoice the Campaign received from Hamilton Studio correctly reflected the intention of the donors.</p><p>6. Mr. Taylor stated that all but two of the in-kind contributions received by the Campaign were provided directly by the contributors. He stated that the Campaign has filed amended C-4 reports “to record the identity of any sub-vendors used for those making in-kind contributions to the campaign.”</p><p>7. On April 10, 2023, the Campaign timely filed an initial C-3 report disclosing that on March 14, 2023, the Campaign received and deposited a $1,000 monetary contribution from David Green, CPA PLLC. </p><p>8. On July 17, 2023, the Campaign filed an amended C-3 report disclosing that on March 14, 2023, the Campaign received and deposited a $1,000 monetary contribution from David Green, and not from CPA PLLC entity. Mr. Taylor stated that in July of 2023, David Green contacted the Campaign and notified them “his intent was to make a personal contribution, instead of from his business” and the new C-3 report was filed to reflect that correction. </p><p>9. The complaint also alleged that Campaign videos failed to contain the required sponsor identification. Staff noted during the case opening that in accordance with WAC 390-18-010(4), both videos contained the written sponsor identification at the bottom of the advertisements, which clearly identified the Lisa Brown Campaign as the sponsor. Staff advised the Campaign that was not a violation and that it was not necessary to respond to that allegation.</p><p>Concerning the last allegation about making an expenditure to a political party committee using active Campaign funds, Mr. Taylor provided the information below in his response.</p><p>The final allegation was that the Campaign violated the statute by making a $1,000 Campaign expenditure on July 24, 2023, to attend a Spokane County Democratic Central Committee (SCDCC) fundraising event, and that a portion of the Campaign funds used ended up as a contribution to the SCDCC. RCW 42.17A.430(8) states “No candidate or authorized committee may transfer funds to any other candidate or other political committee.”</p><p>Mr. Taylor contacted the SCDCC on behalf of the Campaign and requested they provide him with the costs of the event to assist in determining if any portion of the expenditure ended up being a contribution to the SCDCC. He stated the costs to purchase a table sponsorship at the SCDCC fundraising event included the following: (1) $54.56 per person, or $436.58 for a party of 8, was the SCDCC’s out of pocket costs to put on the dinner; (2) the t-shirts that were provided as part of the table sponsorship sell for $32 each but were discounted by the SCDCC for the event to $25, so the t-shirts were valued at $200. </p><p>Finally, Mr. Taylor stated that the “Spokane Tribe contributed the salmon dinners for the event at no cost” but added that the Spokane Tribe Casino “does not normally offer salmon dinners in the Spokane area.” He stated the Campaign found a comparable “salmon dinner at Masselow’s at Northern Quest in Airway Heights” which cost $41 plus tax, so the total cost is estimated to be $368 for eight people and did not include the costs for a tip for the service provided. The total estimated fair market value (FMV) of the costs for the Campaign party of 8 to sponsor a table at the SCDCC event totaled $1,004. Since the total FMV exceeded the $1,000 in Campaign funds expended for the table sponsorship, staff determined the Campaign did not make a contribution to the SCDCC. Thus, the Campaign did not ask the SCDCC for a refund.</p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing further enforcement action in this instance. </p><p>In accordance with WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), PDC staff is issuing a formal written warning to the 2023 Lisa Brown Campaign concerning the requirement to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports, including providing the expenditure details for Campaign vendors and the disclosure and proper attribution for debts and the subsequent payments on those debts, for the remainder of the 2023 election and in all future Campaigns. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws and rules. </p><p>The allegations concerning receiving an in-kind contribution that exceeded the 2023 primary contribution limits; and using campaign funds to attend a Spokane County Democratic Central Committee (SCDCC) fundraising event, are dismissed in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). <br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1401560.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Lisa Brown for Mayor Campaign response (Morgan) PDC Case 140156.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6064/Lisa%20Brown%20for%20Mayor%20Campaign%20response%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20Case%20140156.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "140156 Brown Lisa Complaint (1).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6064/140156%20Brown%20Lisa%20Complaint%20%281%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "140156 Brown Lisa Supplemental Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6064/140156%20Brown%20Lisa%20Supplemental%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "140156 Brown Lisa Supplemental Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "140156 Brown Lisa Complaint (2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6064/140156%20Brown%20Lisa%20Complaint%20%282%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Brown, Lisa Complainant Return Letter (Morgan) PDC Case 140156.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6064/Brown%2C%20Lisa%20Complainant%20Return%20Letter%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20Case%20140156.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]10/10/2023 03:59:55 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(OCT'23, EY'23)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>A complaint was filed against Demetria Chatters, a 2023 candidate seeking the office of Everett City Council, Position #6, alleging violations of: (1) RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failing to timely and accurately file Monetary Contributions reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) disclosing contribution and expenditure activities undertaken during the 2023 election cycle; and (2) RCW 42.17A.405 and WAC 390-05-210 by receiving an in-kind contribution for the mailer in support of your candidacy sponsored by Snohomish Ebony PAC, that exceeded the $1,200 general election contribution limits. </p><p>On January 9, 2023, Demetria Chatters filed a Candidate Registration with the PDC declaring her candidacy as a 2023 candidate seeking the office of Everett City Council, Position #6, selecting the Full Reporting option, and listing Felicia Carnes as Ministerial Treasurer, and herself as candidate. </p><p>Ms. Chatters stated that all her Campaign’s treasury work for her 2023 Everett City Council race was handled by Felicia Carnes as her Ministerial Treasurer, since as candidate she had “no capacity to take” on those duties personally. </p><p>On November 2, 2023, five days prior to the November 7, 2023 general election, the Campaign filed five amended C-4 reports that included the 21-Day and 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 reports, and the June, July, and August monthly C-4 reports. The five amended C-4 reports disclosed the following updated information:</p><p>1. The amended 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report disclosed: (a) the $5,000 expenditure made to Upper Left Strategies on October 17, 2023, was paid to Basis Technologies for digital advertising for 151,785 impressions with run dates of 10/23 – 11/7/2023; (b) the $3,960.96 expenditure made to Upper Left Strategies on October 18, 2023, was paid to Capitol City Press for 10,928 postcards; (c) the $5,000 expenditure made to Upper Left Strategies on October 27, 2023, was paid to Comcast for Comcast TV advertising with run dates 10/30 – 11/7/2023; and (d) the $8,695.54 expenditure made to Upper Left Strategies on October 27, 2023, was paid to Capitol City Press to print and mail 10,1478 mailers.</p><p>2. The amended 21-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report disclosed: (a) the $2,239.45 expenditure made to Upper Left Strategies on October 12, 2023, included a total of $1,839.45 paid to Overnight Printing for 2,000 walking pieces, 100-business cards, and 100-yard signs; (b) a $1,200 in-kind contribution from AJ Soto Photo for photography work; and (c) a $113.30 in-kind contribution for staff time and email communications from the Progressive Alliance of Washington.</p><p>3. The amended August 2023 C-4 report disclosed changes made to the carry forward contribution and expenditure totals from prior amended C-4 reports.</p><p>4. The amended July 2023 C-4 report disclosed: (a) the $4,600 expenditure made to Upper Left Strategies on July 25, 2023, was paid to Basis Technologies for digital advertising for 450,000 impressions with run dates of 7/24 – 8/1/2023; and (b) the $4,951.80 expenditure made to Upper Left Strategies on July 21, 2023, was paid to Capitol City Press for postage and printing of 7,074 mailers.</p><p>5. The amended June 2023 C-4 report disclosed the $1,277.90 expenditure made to Upper Left Strategies on June 17, 2023, included a total of $1,081.90 paid to Overnight Printing for 100-yard signs, and 50-rally signs; and a $196 expenditure made to Squarespace for the Campaign website registration for one year.</p><p>Ms. Chatters stated in her response that she had served on the Snohomish Ebony PAC’s Executive board prior to the 2023 election cycle and stated that “when their treasurer moved out of state, I stepped up to fill the need of reconciling their financial records and bringing their reporting into compliance.” She stated that she informed the PAC of her “intention to run for the Everett City Council in January of 2023, when I filed with the PDC for my campaign committee” and that the Committee would need to find a new Treasurer. She stated that she informed the Snohomish Ebony PAC when she filed her Candidate Registration that the Committee would need to recruit and find a new treasurer since she could not continue serving in that capacity while running for office in 2023. She stated that in March of 2023, “I brought their records and financial reporting up to date” but added that she understood how difficult it was for a small, grassroots, all volunteers run committee “to find a volunteer with PDC compliance knowledge.” </p><p>Ms. Chatters stated that the Committee still had not found a Treasurer and that she reconciled their books and brought their PDC reports back into compliance after the August 1, 2023 primary election. She added that since she had advanced to the November 7, 2023 General Election, “I would not have the capacity to do so again and was stepping fully away from all operational work of the SEPAC organization. She stated that since July 31, 2023, she was not involved in any way with the Committee’s “work, their finances, or their PDC compliance” and that she remained “fully focused on running my own campaign for the Everett City Council.” The Committee as part of their response to PDC complaint 144427, provided copies of their March 5, 2023, May 5, 2023, and August 6, 2023, Committee meeting minutes. PDC staff’s review of the meeting minutes confirmed that Ms. Chatters was only bringing the Committee’s books and PDC reports into Compliance while the Committee was trying to find a replacement Treasurer. The meeting minutes also indicated that Chris Graves would take over the Treasury duties in August of 2023. </p><p>RCW 42.17A.005(15)(a) states in part that "Contribution" includes: (ii) “An expenditure made by a person in cooperation, consultation, or concert with, or at the request or suggestion of, a candidate, a political or incidental committee, the person or persons named on the candidate's or committee's registration form who direct expenditures on behalf of the candidate or committee, or their agents; (iii) The financing by a person of the dissemination, distribution, or republication, in whole or in part, of broadcast, written, graphic, digital, or other form of political advertising or electioneering communication prepared by a candidate, a political or incidental committee, or its authorized agent…”</p><p>WAC 390-05-210(6) concerns consulting with a political committee and states in part that “An expenditure made by a person in cooperation, consultation, concert, or collaboration with, or at the request or suggestion of a political committee” is a contribution to/from the political committee. And (d) states in part “An expenditure is made by or in consultation with any person who, during the twelve months preceding the expenditure, is or has been receiving any form of campaign-related compensation or reimbursement from the political committee or its agent….”</p><p>PDC staff conducted a search of the expenditures database and found there were no payments or expenditures made to Demetria Chatters by the Snohomish Ebony PAC for “compensation” or any “reimbursement” during the four years of the committee’s existence, or more importantly during the twelve-month lookback period as outlined in WAC 390-05-210. </p><p>On November 9, 2023, the Snohomish Ebony PAC filed a C-6 report disclosing a $7,953.12 independent expenditure was presented to the public on October 23, 2023, that included an 18,936-piece mailer sent to voters in support of Demetria Chatters. There was no evidence found that Snohomish Ebony PAC and Ms. Chatters “consulted” or “collaborated” with each other concerning the independent expenditure (IE) mailer, or that Ms. Chatters had knowledge about the IE, prior to it being presented to the public on October 23, 2023. </p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of violations that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any further enforcement action in this instance. As noted above, no evidence was found that Ms. Chatters consulted or collaborated with the Snohomish Ebony PAC concerning the independent expenditure, and the allegation of exceeding contribution limits is dismissed. Concerning the C-4 reports and proper disclosure of the Campaign expenditure details, in accordance with WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), PDC staff issued a formal written warning to Demetria Chatters concerning the requirements to timely and accurately file C-4 reports for all future elections in which she is seeking election to public office. The warning includes providing the required expenditure details and sub-vendor breakdowns for expenditures such as for third-party sub-contractors, the number of signs produced, flyers/mailers printers, run dates for cable advertising, and social media advertisements. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws/rules. </p><p>The PDC dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). <br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1444280.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "144428 Chatters, Demetria Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6287/144428%20Chatters%2C%20Demetria%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "144428 Chatters, Demetria Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Demi Chatters Response to the complaint (Swanson) PDC Case 144428.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6287/Demi%20Chatters%20Response%20to%20the%20complaint%20%28Swanson%29%20PDC%20Case%20144428.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "144428 Demi Chatters Return Warning Letter (Swanson).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6287/144428%20Demi%20Chatters%20Return%20Warning%20Letter%20%28Swanson%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]01/31/2024 11:18:14 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

However, the committee’s door-hanger did not include sponsor identification as required by RCW 42.17A.320 and in the manner specified in WAC 390-18-010.</li><li>The Respondent stated this was the committee’s first time running a political campaign and they tried to follow all the rules, which included seeking the advice of friends with experience in running campaigns.</li><li>The Respondent stated, they thought the sponsorship information on the committee’s postcard mailer was sufficient because it included the name of the committee (Vote FOR Clyde Hill Proposition 1) and the committee’s contact information (the committee’s website address). The Respondent stated the committee showed the postcard mailer to friends with campaign experience for input and no one raised any concern about sponsor identification.</li><li> The Respondent stated the committee reviewed WAC 390-18-010(2) after it was provided by PDC staff with a copy of the complaint and said the committee will follow the guidance in the rule for all future political advertising.</li></ul><p>PDC staff determined that in this instance, the failure to include required sponsor identification on political advertising materials does not amount to a finding of a violation warranting further investigation. As a result, the PDC dismissed this matter and will not be conducting a more formal investigation into these allegations or taking further enforcement action in this matter. </p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the dismissal served as a formal warning concerning the committee’s failure to include sponsor identification as required by RCW 42.17A.320 and in the manner specified in WAC 390-18-010. Staff expects the Respondent to include proper sponsor identification, when required, on future political advertising. The Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1133570.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "113357 Combined Case Closure Letters.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5584/113357%20Combined%20Case%20Closure%20Letters.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113357 Vote For Clyde Hill Proposition 1 Supp2 Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5584/113357%20Vote%20For%20Clyde%20Hill%20Proposition%201%20Supp2%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113357 Response to Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5584/113357%20Response%20to%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113357 Vote for Clyde Hill Proposition 1 Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5584/113357%20Vote%20for%20Clyde%20Hill%20Proposition%201%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "113357 Vote for Clyde Hill Proposition 1 Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113357 Vote For Clyde Hill Proposition 1 Supp1 Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5584/113357%20Vote%20For%20Clyde%20Hill%20Proposition%201%20Supp1%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/07/2025 04:53:47 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

consideration by the commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or
as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has
occurred, but does not amount to a violation that warrants further
investigation.</span><span></span></p>

(EY'23; Aug'23)RCW 29B.40.090/42.17A.430Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Legislative<p>A complaint was filed against the 2024 Monica Stonier Campaign alleging a violation of RCW 42.17A.430(8) by making an expenditure to attend a Clark County Democratic Party event and purchasing a table using campaign funds, with a portion of the expenditure generating a profit or contribution by the party committee.</p><p>RCW 42.17A.430(8) states that “No candidate or authorized committee may transfer funds to any other candidate or other political committee.” Based on the statute, the complaint alleged the 2024 Monica Stonier (Campaign) made a prohibited contribution using 2023 active Campaign funds to the Clark County Democratic Party.</p><p>Representative Stonier was elected State Representative in 2012 from the 17th Legislative District, Position #1, in which she served one-term, before being elected State Representative in the 49th Legislative District, Position #2, in 2016. She was re-elected to that office in 2018, 2020, and 2022, respectively.</p><p>On January 10, 2023, Monica Stonier filed a Candidate Registration with the PDC declaring her candidacy for re-election to the office of State Representative in the 49th Legislative District, Position #2, in 2024, selecting the Full Reporting Option and listing Marsha Manning as the Ministerial Treasurer/Compliance Officer for the Campaign. </p><p>On July 10, 2023, the Campaign timely filed a Summary Full Campaign Contributions and Expenditures report (C-4 report) covering the period June 1 through 30, 2023, disclosing that a $1,250 Campaign expenditure was made to the Clark County Democratic Party (Committee) on June 1, 2023, to purchase a “Table at Democrat’s annual fundraiser.” </p><p>Ms. Manning stated the Campaign acknowledged purchasing a table for 10 at the Committee’s annual Val Ogden dinner for $1,250. She stated that the “table was purchased as a thank you to volunteers of the Elect Monica Stonier campaign”, and the Committee acknowledged that the event table sponsors get their name listed the dinner program. She confirmed Ms. Stonier was named in the program or invites as a table sponsor and stated that candidates that attended the event were “allowed to address the attendees when time is available, and they had the option to bring yard signs and remit envelopes to display on side tables.” </p><p>However, Ms. Manning stated that since Representative Stonier “was unable to attend the dinner…the last options were not acted on.” She stated that the Campaign contacted the Committee after receiving the complaint to get an accounting of actual dinner costs. She stated that as a past manager of the Val Ogden event, “I can speak to the process of determining ticket prices.” She stated at the end of the event dinner, “costs are calculated against income to determine what next year’s ticket price will be” and the Committee estimated the 2023 costs for the event were $125 per ticket or $1,250 total costs for a table of 10. She stated those costs included a reserved seat, dinner, dessert, and wine, but that the actual cost came to $113.74 per person or a total of $1,137.40 for a party of 10. </p><p>Ms. Manning stated that while “the estimate was very close, no one can predict future costs exactly. The party made a profit of $11.26 per ticket or $112.63 per table” for a party of 10. She stated that all the accounting and figures to determine the costs of the event were supplied to her by the treasurer of the Clark County Democrats. </p><p>On October 5, 2023, the Campaign filed a Monetary Contributions report (C-3 report) disclosing that on October 4, 2023, the Campaign received a $112.63 miscellaneous receipt from the Committee, that was deposited into the Campaign bank account on October 5, 2023. The C-3 report filed by the Campaign included the following description for the miscellaneous receipt refund: “Refund of the amount determined to be profit on purchased table of 10 seats at the Clark Co Democrats annual fundraiser.”</p><p>PDC staff did not find evidence of violations that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing further enforcement action in this instance.</p><p>In accordance with WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), PDC staff is issuing a formal written warning to the 2024 Monica Stonier Campaign concerning the requirement that no active Campaign funds can be used to make an expenditure to a political party committee, or any other political committee, that results in a contribution being made, or a profit being generated for an event. The Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws and rules.</p><p>PDC staff is dismissing this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1412310.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141231 Stonier Monica Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6104/141231%20Stonier%20Monica%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "2024 Monica Stonier Campaign response to complaint (Morgan) PDC 141231.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6104/2024%20Monica%20Stonier%20Campaign%20response%20to%20complaint%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20141231.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "2024 Monica Stonier Campaign complaint return ltr (Morgan) PDC 141231.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6104/2024%20Monica%20Stonier%20Campaign%20complaint%20return%20ltr%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20141231.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]11/06/2023 04:44:54 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

505210038111/02/202111/01/202111/17/2021Kara Suzanne AleyJim FranichFranich, Jim Alleged Violation of RCW 42.17A.320 by failing to provide the required sponsor identification, including the Campaign mailing address, on political advertising sponsored by the candidate. (EY ' 2021, November ' 2021)RCW 29B.30.050/42.17A.320Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - Local<p>A complaint was filed alleging that Jim Franich, an incumbent Gig Harbor City Council member and a candidate for re-election to that office in 2021, may have violated RCW 42.17A.320(1) by failing to include the required sponsor identification information on a political advertisement mailer that was sponsored by his Campaign. </p><p>On October 13, 2021, Jim Franich filed an amended Candidate Registration (C-1 report) with the PDC after being granted permission to change from the Mini Reporting to the Full Reporting option, listing himself as Treasurer for his candidacy for re-election to the Gig Harbor City Council, Position #3 in 2021. <br><br>The political advertisement provided as part of the complaint was a copy of the candidate’s voter pamphlet statement and began by stating that Jim Franich had missed the filing deadline for inclusion in the general election voter’s pamphlet and went on to provide his voter statement. The advertisement stated at the bottom “Paid for by Jim Franich 4 Council” but failed to include a mailing address in the sponsor identification (sponsor ID). <br><br>The sponsor ID requirements for a candidate mailer require that the words "Paid for" or "Sponsored by" be followed by the candidate’s name, and that the ad includes the sponsor’s complete mailing address. <br><br>Mr. Franich stated that he was not familiar with the statutory “language that required my address to be on the mailer. I now realize I should have read the RCW prior to sending out the mailer. I do not believe there was any detrimental effect to the Voters and there was no fraud intended.

563411494712/07/202212/07/202203/23/2023Aaron SchulerShukri OlowOlow, Shukri: Alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.490 for failure to secure written permission from prior donors to use surplus funds for a position other than which the funds were originally solicited; and RCW 42.17A.235(6)(a) and WAC 390-16-043 for failure to provide requested financial records of the campaign during the public inspection period prior to the election; RCW 42.17A.240 for failing to timely and accurately file correct information as required under RCW 42.17A.235 (DEC'22, EY'22)WAC 390-16-043, RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240, RCW 29B.40.220/42.17A.490Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Legislative<p>PDC staff reviewed the allegation(s); the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by the Complainant and Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>Ms. Olow registered with the PDC, under committee name Shukri for King County D5 (2021 campaign), as a candidate in 2021 for King County Council but did not win election. Her campaign registered a surplus funds account, named Shukri Olow Surplus Funds (surplus funds account), in January 2022 and made transfers into the account, from the 2021 campaign, totaling $18,647.10.</li><li>On March 28, 2022, Shukri Olow registered with the PDC as a candidate for State Representative Position 2 of Legislative District 47. The Friends of Shukri Olow campaign (2022 campaign) registered for Full Reporting. The 2022 campaign made transfers from the surplus funds account in the amount of $18,649.72. The difference between the amount transferred into the surplus funds account from the 2021 campaign and the amount transferred out of the surplus funds account into the 2022 campaign is attributed to interest.</li><li>In the first complaint, the Complainant identifies reporting issues and cites the transfer amount of $16,515.12 from the 2021 campaign into the surplus funds account and the transfer of $21,503.45 from the surplus funds account to the 2022 campaign. The Complainant questioned the discrepancy between these two amounts and working with Catherine Williams, the Chair of the 47th District, contacted the Olow campaign on October 30, 2022, to inspect the campaign books. The campaign responded back to Ms. Williams on November 1, 2022 and arranged for a meeting to occur on November 3, 2022. The meeting took place via Zoom because the Treasurer, Jeanne Legault, was recovering from an illness. During the meeting, according to Ms. Legault, “96 or so emails [and] copies of every check donated” was requested for review. Because of the extensive nature of the request, Ms. Legault asked to send the documents via email following the meeting and this was agreed to by the attendees of the meeting. Per the Complainant, on November 5, 2022, Ms. Legault “informed Ms. Mosbarger, the treasurer of the 47th District Democrats, that she had forwarded all emails authorizing transfer of surplus funds.” The Complainant indicated that “the total amount transferred via email totals $11,080 – far short of the $21,503.45 that was transferred.”</li><li>In the second complaint, the Complainant again identified reporting issues and indicates that Ms. Legault did not produce all the requested copies of checks, to correctly identify contributions, or documentation to support that the checks were deposited for contributions identified in:<ul><li>C-3 report #110120258, amended by report #11012192, amended by report #110121756, amended by report #110121788, amended by report #110122344.</li><li>C-3 report #110123846</li><li>C-3 report #110121292, amended by report #110123847</li></ul></li></ul><p>The Complainant stated: “From November 3 – 7, 2022 Ms. Legault only sent copies of eight (8) checks” associated with the reported deposits. </p><ul><li>PDC staff reviewed reports associated with all three of the campaign’s accounts and discovered significant reporting issues. These issues caused the information to be unreliable in the accurate representation of contributions and expenditures associated with the 2021 campaign, surplus funds account, and 2022 campaign. Over the last three months, amendments to reports associated with the 2021 campaign, surplus funds account, and the 2022 campaign were completed by Ms. Olow’s Treasurers to balance the various accounts and address the issues in the reporting. </li><li>Based on the timeline of events specific to the inspection of records and the response provided by the Olow campaign, we find no timeliness issue regarding the campaign’s efforts to make the books of account available to the Complainant and other parties during the inspection period. However, because of the significant reporting discrepancies the campaign did fail to accurately represent to the public, and to the Complainant, funds raised by the campaign. It is acknowledged the campaign did produce requested records to the Complainant but because of the reporting issues the right records were not provided.</li><li>Following the completion of amendments, PDC staff have reviewed the 2021 campaign, surplus funds account, and 2022 campaign and find the following:<ul><li>The transfer from the 2021 campaign to the surplus funds account is accurately reported in ORCA and the amount transferred from the 2021 campaign into the surplus funds account balances.</li><li>The transfer from the surplus funds account to the 2022 campaign is accurately reported in ORCA and the amount transferred is reflective of the balance available to include interest. The campaign provided a list of donors from the 2021 campaign that authorized transfer of their donations to the 2022 campaign. This list was compared to data reported in ORCA and a sample of the contributors was selected for review of the email submitted giving their permission. All the sampled contributors provided approval.</li><li>The Complainant’s issues as outlined in the second complaint, related to C3 reports #110122344, #110123846 and #110123847, have been remedied. These contributions have been verified with copies of checks provided by the Olow campaign.</li><li>As a reminder, Case #114052 also dealt with contributions reported on C3 report #110121786 and amended by #110123847. After further review by PDC Filer Assistance and IT staff, it was determined that multiple amendments had been made through the ORCA system effectively cancelling out the corrections to the reported data. This caused the reporting on the PDC website to be inaccurate. PDC staff corrected the C3 report #110123847 to show that it was an amendment of C3 report #110121786.</li></ul></li><li>Ms. Olow, working with her treasurers, took prompt action to respond to the allegations. She has been very attentive to remedying the reporting issues found by PDC staff and even went so far as to bring on another treasurer, Jessica Pisane, to assist in dealing with the necessary reporting amendments to the three ORCA campaign accounts. Campaign staff worked effectively with PDC filer assistance staff and the Compliance Officer throughout this investigation. </li><li>The Respondent does not have previous violations of PDC requirements associated with RCW 42.17A.490, RCW 42.17A.235(6)(a) or WAC 390-16-043 but has received a technical correction and two reminders associated with RCW 42.17A.235 & .240.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, there was a lack of oversight on the part of Ms. Olow to supervise the work of Jeanne Legault, the campaign Treasurer, and Ms. Legault failed to accurately report contributions and expenditures in the ORCA system and failed to file reports timely. These issues were inadvertent and do not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Shukri Olow will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to comply with the filing requirements outlined in RCW 42.17A.235 and RCW 42.17A.240.

The complaint alleged that Paige Jarquin a candidate for State Representative in Legislative District 23 in the 2022 election may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing in-kind contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the apparent lack of online presence and reporting by the 2022 Jarquin Campaign may have been caused by a misspelling of the Respondent’s name. Although the Respondent did submit a small number of expenditures late, almost all expenditures were reported prior to the primary election. Staff found no evidence that this was done intentionally to conceal campaign activity from the public</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately file a small number of expenditures for the 2022 Jarquin Campaign does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Paige Jarquin will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately disclose expenditures made by the 2022 Jarquin Campaign. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Ms. Jarquin timely and accurately files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1114120.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "111412 Jarquin Paige Warning - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5532/111412%20Jarquin%20Paige%20Warning%20-%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "111412 Jarquin Paige Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5532/111412%20Jarquin%20Paige%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "111412 Jarquin Paige Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5532/111412%20Jarquin%20Paige%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "111412 Jarquin Paige Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "111412 Jarquin Paige Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5532/111412%20Jarquin%20Paige%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]10/19/2022 04:53:03 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Mr. Payne filed a Candidate Registration (C-1) on December 15, 2022, for the 2023 General Election in which he is campaigning for the City of Olympia position of Mayor. The campaign start date was December 15, 2022, and a declaration of candidacy was filed on May 15, 2023.</li><li>Mr. Payne filed a Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1) on July 11, 2021, for the period 1/30/20 – 1/29/21, on March 27, 2022, for the period 1/1/21-12/31/21, and April 3, 2023, for period 1/1/22-12/31/22. In response to the complaint, on August 31, 2023, all the F-1 were amended to include their spouse’s income.</li><li>Mr. Morgan’s spreadsheet, as provided in the complaint, is correct about number of days late for the identified 2021 C-3s. The C-4 shown for February 1, 2021, was filed timely on 3/10/21 and then amended on 3/22/21 to correct expenditures by (+) $21.00 which reflects the purchase of an order of checks from Timberland bank. The threshold for reporting activity was $50 prior to April 1, 2023.</li><li>Regarding Mr. Morgan’s spreadsheet for the 2023 C-3 and C-4 filings, the noted C-3s are correctly identified as being late and the days late is correct. For the noted C-4s:<ul><li>The January 2023 report was filed timely on 2/10/23 and then amended on 3/11/23 to correct expenditures by (+) $350 for management & consulting services. The threshold for reporting activity was $50 prior to April 1, 2023. </li><li>The February and April 2023 reports are correctly identified as late, and the number of days is correct. </li><li>The May 2023 report was filed twenty-five days late.</li><li>The June 2023 report was filed one day late on 7/12/23 and amended on 7/17/23 to correct in-kind contributions and expenditures by (+) $201 from Washington Progressive Alliance for staff time. This report was amended a second time on 8/23/23 to add (+) $160 of non-itemized expenses. The threshold for reporting activity was $200 after April 1, 2023.</li></ul></li><li>Amendments are insufficient evidence of late reporting. There are many reasons a committee might amend their reports and the mere presence of an amendment is not itself conclusive evidence of a violation. When considering C-3 and C-4s, these report amendments require inspection of the actual report to figure out whether the committee has a requirement to report activity by a given date. As well, deciding if a report is late is not as simple as calculating the days late based on a periodic reporting timeline and when a report was filed but is rather fact specific to the campaign and its activities.</li><li>The campaign did on multiple occasions fail to supply adequate description of expense purpose as required by WAC 390-16-037. With the various amendments filed, following the complaint, those expense descriptions have been corrected.</li><li>The 2023 Mayoral campaign filing fee of $337.46 was missing from the May reporting and was corrected on August 31, 2023, with amendment #110169135.</li><li>Dontae Payne, in his response to the complaint, stated: “I assure that I have in no way intentionally denied or concealed information for either of my campaigns …. All errors were mistakes or oversights on the part of my campaign treasurer, which I take responsibility for since they are employed by my campaign.”</li><li>The Respondent does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements. </li></ul><p>Although the campaign showed a pattern of inadequate reporting and filing C-3 and C-4 reports late, the campaign has remedied the issues named in the complaint. Based on our case review, in this instance, staff has determined that failure to timely and accurately show contributions and expenditures on C-3 and C-4 reports and failure to disclose spousal information on the F-1 reports does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Dontae Payne will receive a formal written warning concerning their failure to timely and accurately disclose contributions and expenditures on Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) and Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports for the 2021 and 2023 campaigns and their failure to disclose spousal information on the Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1) reports for years 2020, 2021, and 2022. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Mr. Payne follow all reporting requirements moving forward. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1412280.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141228 Payne_Dontae Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6102/141228%20Payne_Dontae%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141228 Payne_Dontae Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6102/141228%20Payne_Dontae%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141228 Payne_Dontae Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6102/141228%20Payne_Dontae%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]10/10/2023 03:58:35 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaint alleged that Marko Liias, an incumbent State Senator in Legislative District 21 may have violated RCW 42.17A.405 for accepting an over-limit contribution attributed to the 2022 Primary election.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Ministerial Treasurer Jay Petterson on behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that although the C-3 reports submitted for the 2022 Campaign originally disclosed an over-limit contribution, the Respondent did not actually receive $2,000 in monetary contributions from Vulcan, Inc. for the 2022 Primary Election and that the reporting error occurred during the Campaign’s transition from using ORCA to NGP to submit reports.

(OCT'23, EY'23)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>PDC staff reviewed the allegation(s); the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>Anna Saenz filed their declaration of candidacy on May 17, 2023, and a Candidate Registration (C-1) on June 1, 2023, for the Full Reporting option. On September 27, 2023, Ms. Saenz amended the C-1 and changed to the Mini Reporting option. </li><li>Per RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, under the Full Reporting option, a committee is required to disclose contribution and expenditure information by submitting Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports and Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports to the PDC. The Committee’s due dates for the C-3 and C-4 reports are determined by its activity and participation in the election cycle.<ul><li>RCW 42.17A. 235(5) & .240(2) identify the threshold for required reporting of the identity of contributors and WAC 390-16-308 further directs campaigns on the reporting of the source of a contribution.</li><li>WAC 390-16-034 directs campaigns to disclose the name and address of each person who made one or more contributions in the aggregate amount of more then $250, their occupation, and the name and location (city and state) of their employer.</li><li>WAC 390-16-037 directs campaigns on how to report the detail of an expenditure for goods and/or services.</li></ul></li><li>Per WAC 390-16-105, a candidate or committee is not required to comply with provisions of RCW 42.17A.225 through 42.17A.240, except as otherwise prescribed in WAC 390-16-038, 390-16-115, and 390-16-125, if the committee selects the Mini Reporting option on its Candidate Registration (C-1) and meets both of the following conditions:<ul><li>Does not raise nor expend an amount that exceeds $7,000; and</li><li>Does not accept contributions from any one person, other than the candidate, which exceeds $500 aggregate.</li></ul></li></ul><p>Candidates and committees choosing mini reporting do not file contribution and expenditure reports, but they must file a registration statement, keep records of their contributions and expenditures, and comply with disclosure requirements.</p><ul><li>No approval is necessary to change from Full Reporting to Mini Reporting as long as the mini reporting limits have not been exceeded. A candidate is responsible for timely filing the C-3 and C-4 reports that were due during the time they were registered under full reporting.</li><li>Ms. Saenz was responsible for filing C-3 and C-4 reports up until the point that she converted to being a mini filing campaign. After filing the amended C-1, changing from full reporting to mini reporting, Ms. Saenz filed C-3 and C-4 reports for the period of June through October 2023 on October 23, 2023, and amended on January 8 and 9, 2024. Ms. Saenz was required to file reports for the period of June through October timely and as such the reports filed on October 23, 2023, and subsequently amended, were filed late. After this date, Ms. Saenz did not have any further reporting requirement but was required to maintain her books of account throughout her campaign. Based on the case review, there is no evidence that supports Ms. Saenz violated the requirements associated with being a mini reporter.</li><li>You also stated in your complaint “She is holding events where she is giving away prizes, doing raffles, renting out the city pool, giving out free dinner to the community and collecting ballots and registering people to vote.” Based on the case review, PDC staff have determined that Ms. Saenz and the other candidates identified in your complaint did attend events together. <ul><li>It is not prohibited for a campaign to provide food to attendees at a campaign event nor to give prizes, conduct a raffle, or give away “thank you” gifts to attendees for their time as long as the value is nominal and that those items are reported correctly by the campaign in their PDC filings.</li><li>Ms. Saenz did attend the “Get out the vote” event where the public pool was rented but she did not coordinate the event or contribute to the costs of the event.</li><li>In this instance, the evidence provided, nor the reports filed by the campaign, support a violation that calls for further investigation.</li></ul></li></ul><p>It is not prohibited for candidates to attend campaign events, civic engagement related events, or “Get out the vote” (GOTV) events with other candidates. GOTV events aim to increase voter turnout in elections and often focus their efforts on voter registration and encouragement of voting.</p><p>Although the law prohibits using campaign funds to make a contribution to another candidate or political committee (other than using surplus funds to give to a political party or caucus committee), it is OK for a candidate to use his or her campaign money to pay for costs to attend an event held by another candidate, a political party or committee so long as attending the event is directly related to the candidate's own campaign and the candidate's campaign only pays the per-person cost of consumables provided at the event. That is, the candidate uses his or her campaign money only to pay for his or her share of the actual cost of food, beverages, preparation, catering and entertainment furnished at the event. If the candidate wishes to pay the full admission charge, he or she must use his or her personal funds to do so.</p><p>Candidates may work together, or with other entities, to coordinate campaign events but if there are event costs, attributable to a candidate, then those costs should be shared by all candidates who receive a benefit from the event. We encourage candidates to directly pay the vendor, their share of the costs, and report their share of the costs as an expenditure in the Online Reporting of Campaign Activity (ORCA) system.</p><ul><li>Ms. Saenz does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has decided that, in this instance, failure to timely file C-3 and C-4 reports during the 2023 election does not amount to a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Anna Saenz will receive a formal written warning concerning their failure to timely and accurately report contributions and expenditures on the Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) report and Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) report. Staff expects that they will file all required reports of contributions and expenditures timely and accurately in future years. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1439120.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "143912 Anna Saenz Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6259/143912%20Anna%20Saenz%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "143912 Saenz_Anna Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "143912 Saenz_Anna Response(2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6259/143912%20Saenz_Anna%20Response%282%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "143912 Saenz_Anna Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6259/143912%20Saenz_Anna%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "143912 Saenz_Anna Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6259/143912%20Saenz_Anna%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]01/12/2024 09:29:19 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

In addition, PDC staff noticed Episode 3 of the candid video series did not include sponsor identification and the website and video series did not include the party preference of Sheriff Burnett as expressed on the candidate’s declaration of candidacy, an alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.320.</li><li>The Burnett campaign reported an 8/5/2022, $7,000 expenditure to Killing Robots for the cost of the four-part candid video series, on its post-primary C-4 report of contributions and expenditures. The C-4 report covered the period 7/26/2022 to 8/31/2022 and was timely filed on 9/12/2022.</li><li>When reviewing the four-part candid video series, staff noticed Episodes 1, 2, and 4 included sponsor identification, but Episode 3 did not include sponsor identification. Drew Zabrocki, Campaign Manager for Brian Burnett, said he was not sure why sponsor identification was left off Episode 3 and said he had already contacted the producer of the video series requesting an updated version with sponsor identification as soon as possible. On 9/27/2022, Mr. Zabrocki confirmed the campaign website had been updated to include the party preference designation on the footer of every page. He said all recent publications included the party preference designation and all older publications would be reviewed and updated as needed. Mr. Zabrocki confirmed all videos include the party preference designation.</li><li>The PDC dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1) and will not be conducting a more formal investigation into these allegations or taking further enforcement action in this matter. However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the PDC issued a formal warning concerning the Respondent’s failure to include sponsor identification and party preference on all political advertising. Staff expects the Respondent to include sponsor identification and party preference on all future advertising if he becomes a candidate in the future. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</li></ul>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1120760.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "112076 Response to Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5545/112076%20Response%20to%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "112076 Combined Case Closure Letters.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5545/112076%20Combined%20Case%20Closure%20Letters.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "112076 Burnett Brian Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5545/112076%20Burnett%20Brian%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/07/2025 04:57:27 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaint alleged that Anthony Martinelli, a candidate for Des Moines City Council, Position 6 in 2019, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.235, RCW 42.17A.240 & WAC 390-16-037 for failure to timely and accurately describe expenditures on Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) for election year 2017 & 2019; (2) RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports); and (3) RCW 42.17A.700 & .710 for failure to timely and accurately file Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) as a candidate.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Mr. Martinelli; the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>The complaint included additional allegations regarding possible inaccurate disclosure of reportable income on the F-1, Section 1. No evidence was found showed that Mr. Martinelli failed to include sources of income required by statute.</p><p>Anthony Martinelli was an unsuccessful candidate in 2017 and had a separate individual acting as his treasurer and filing campaign reports. During the 2019 Des Moines City Council campaign, other than approximately one month, he served as his own treasurer and did not list any other officers or committee members. It appears that his failure to disclose adequate descriptions for campaign expenditures on C-4 reports, the mistaken entry of an expenditure as candidate’s personal funds, and his failure to disclose a reportable business ownership interest on his candidate F-1, was due to inexperience and general misunderstanding. Mr. Martinelli responded promptly to the complaint, worked with PDC staff to correct his reports and has not previously been found in violation of PDC laws or rules. </p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately file a small number of C-3 and C-4 reports and failure to include a reportable business ownership interest on the candidate F-1 report, does not amount to a finding of a violation warranting further investigation.</p><p>PDC staff is reminding Mr. Martinelli about the importance of the timely and accurate disclosure of all expenditure activities, specifically including any required detail and vendor breakdown as prescribed in WAC, the timely and accurate disclosure of candidate’s personal funds deposited into the campaign account, and the timely and accurate disclosure of all reportable financial information on F-1 reports in any future PDC reports in accordance with the statutes and rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/577480.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "57748 Martinelli Anthony Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3235/57748%20Martinelli%20Anthony%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "57748 Martinelli Anthony Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3235/57748%20Martinelli%20Anthony%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "57748 Martinelli Anthony Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3235/57748%20Martinelli%20Anthony%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]12/12/2019 08:15:56 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

Mike Nelson was the elected Mayor for the City of Edmonds and was running for re-election in 2023.</li><li>The complaints cited numerous RCW and WAC, to include RCW 42.17A.550, RCW 42.17A.575, WAC 390-05-273, and RCW 42.52.180. We opened the case under RCW 42.17A.555 for the following reasons:<ul><li>RCW 42.17A.550 is not applicable in this case because the proposed budget and budget message submitted by the mayor, to the residents of Edmonds, is part of the normal and regular official duties of the office.</li><li>RCW 42.17A575 is not applicable because the proposed budget and budget message do not meet all the criteria outlined in Washington State law to fall into the category of “public service announcement.”</li><li>WAC 390-05-273 is not applicable because the budget proposal and budget message are a lawful, normal, and regular form of communication by the City of Edmonds and specifically the mayor.</li><li>RCW 42.52.180 is not the jurisdiction of the PDC, but RCW 42.17A.555 is an analogous law that applies to local governments. </li></ul></li><li>RCW 42.17A.555 states, in part, no elective official nor any employee of his or her office nor any person appointed to or employed by any public office or agency may use or authorize the use of any of the facilities of a public office or agency, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of assisting a campaign for election of any person to any office or for the promotion of or opposition to any ballot proposition. Activities which are determined to be part of the normal and regular conduct of the office or agency are exempt.</li><li>PDC staff found that per RCW 35A.33.055, the mayor of a code city is required by law to submit a preliminary budget and budget message to the city’s legislative body each year. The budget message must be available to the legislative body at least 60 days before the start of the fiscal year. The law is silent on if and how the budget message is submitted to the public.<ul><li>The fiscal year for the City of Edmonds begins on January 1.</li><li>Mayor Mike Nelson, as well as his predecessors, submitted their proposed budget and the budget message to the public as a normal and regular practice of the office. Prior mayors utilized video format for their messaging but in 2021 and 2022 Mayor Nelson provided the proposed budget and budget message in the form of a mailer. The public received those mailers in early to mid-October of 2021 and 2022. The distribution of the 2023 mailer was approximately the same time as the previous year’s mailers.</li><li>The Director of the Administrative Services for the City of Edmonds confirmed it is the responsibility of the mayor’s office to submit the proposed budget and budget message and that it is the prerogative of the mayor on how to submit those materials to the public. The Administrative Services office is responsible for the layout and design of the material and made the decision to include the mayor’s picture on the mailer. </li></ul></li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has decided that, in this instance, the distribution of the proposed budget and budget message, in the form of a mailer and that included the image and messaging of the mayor, during the election cycle when the mayor was running for re-election, does not amount to a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>However, because RCW 35A.33.055 is silent about if and how the mayor would distribute budget-related messaging to the public, PDC staff reminds Mike Nelson to exercise caution during election years in which he is a candidate. To avoid concerns, budget-related communications would be preferably sent to the public after the election in those years. </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1439270.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "143927 Nelson_Mike Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6262/143927%20Nelson_Mike%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "143927 Nelson Mike Complaint (2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6262/143927%20Nelson%20Mike%20Complaint%20%282%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "143927 Nelson Mike Complaint (1).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6262/143927%20Nelson%20Mike%20Complaint%20%281%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "143927 Nelson_Mike Combined Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6262/143927%20Nelson_Mike%20Combined%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Reminder"}]01/29/2024 01:27:00 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

(EY'23, Oct'23)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240, RCW 29B.25.130/42.17A.260, RCW 29B.40.020/42.17A.405Resolved through Statement of Understanding (SOU)Political Committee - Other<p>Two complaints were filed against the Snohomish Ebony PAC, a local political committee that has been registered and reporting with the PDC since 2020, alleging that the Snohomish Ebony PAC (Committee) violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failing to timely and accurately file Monetary Contributions reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) disclosing contribution and expenditure activities undertaken during the 2023 election cycle; (2) RCW 42.17A.260 for failing to timely file Independent Expenditure reports (C-6 reports) within 24 hours of being presented to the public disclosing independent expenditures in support of two local candidates during the 2023 election cycle; (3) RCW 42.17A.320 by failing to include the complete sponsor identification on independent expenditure advertising sponsored by the Committee; and (4) RCW 42.17A.405 and WAC 390-05-210 by receiving an in-kind contribution for the mailer sponsored by Snohomish Ebony PAC, that exceeded the $1,200 general election contribution limits. </p><p>The Committee has been registered and reporting with the PDC as a continuing political committee since 2020. The Committee participated in the 2023 primary and general elections and was required to file Pre-Primary and Pre-General Election C-4 reports, and Post-Primary and Post-General Election C-4 reports during the 2023 election.</p><p>Specifically, the Committee was required to file a 21-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report on October 17, 2023, covering the period September 1 through October 16, 2023, and a 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report on October 31, 2023, covering the period October 17 through 30, 2023. The Committee was required to file weekly C-3 reports for the 2023 election cycle beginning July 1, 2023, disclosing monetary contributions received and deposited the previous five calendar days. In addition, the Committee made independent expenditures (IE) within 21 days of the November 7, 2023 general election, which required the Committee to file C-6 reports within 24 hours of presenting the IE advertisements to the public. </p><p>On November 7, 2023, the Committee filed a C-4 report covering the period October 1 through October 31, 2023, disclosing $180 in monetary contributions received, and $16,150.58 in total Committee expenditures. The Committee expenditures included a $7,953.12 expenditure made on October 9, 2023 for an IE in Everett; and a $6,316.68 expenditure made on October 11, 2023 for an IE in Lake Stevens. The report also disclosed a $1,000 expenditure made to The Soto’s Photos on October 17, 2023, for “Photography.”</p><p>During calendar year 2023, the Committee filed most of its C-3 and C-4 reports late. The late filed C-3 and C-4 reports disclosed contribution and expenditure activities that were undertaken by the Committee during the year. While most of the late filed reports contained small amounts of contribution and expenditure activities, there were several reports that included two C-6 reports that were filed late disclosing two IE’s. Those IE’s constituted violations as detailed below.</p><p><strong>Late filed reports addressed with the Committee completing a Statement of Understanding (SOU): </strong></p><p>(1) Late filed 21-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report: The C-4 report filed by the Committee and referenced above disclosed a $7,953.12 IE made in support of Demetria Chatters, a 2023 candidate for the Everett City Council, and a $6,316.68 IE made in support of Gloria Ngezaho, a 2023 candidate seeking election to the Lake Stevens Council. Both expenditures were required to be disclosed on October 17, 2023, on the 21-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report. The Committee filed a monthly C-4 report on November 7, 2023, 21 days late and on the date of the general election, disclosing the $14,269.80 for the two IE mailers.</p><p>(2) Late filed C-3 report: On November 7, 2023, the Committee filed a C-3 report disclosing a $25,000 monetary contribution had been received from the NAACP of Snohomish County, and that the funds were received and deposited on September 23, 2023. The C-3 report was required to have been filed no later than September 25, 2023, and was filed 43 days late by the Committee.</p><p>(3) Late filed C-6 report: On November 9, 2023, the Committee filed a C-6 report disclosing the same $7,953.12 IE as discussed above. The C-6 report disclosed the Committee mailed out an 18,936-piece IE political advertisement in support of Ms. Chatters to voters on October 23, 2023. The report was due to have been filed on October 24, 2023, was filed 16 days late, and two days after the November 7, 2023 general election.</p><p>(4) Late filed C-6 report: On November 9, 2023, the Committee also filed a C-6 report disclosing the same $6,316.38 IE as discussed above. The C-6 report disclosed that Committee mailed out a 15,039-piece IE political advertisement to voters on October 24, 2023. The report was due to have been filed by the Committee on October 25, 2023, was filed 15 days late, and two days after the November 7, 2023 general election.</p><p>On February 7, 2024, the Snohomish Ebony PAC completed a Statement of Understanding acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.235, .240, and .260 for failing to file the four reports listed above, and paid a $1,000 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 to resolve the violations in lieu of having a Brief Adjudicative Proceeding (BAP) scheduled. </p><p><strong>Allegation of exceeding contribution limits to Demetria Chatters (RCW 42.17A.405 and WAC 390-05-210)</strong></p><p>RCW 42.17A.005(15)(a) states in part that "Contribution" includes: (ii) “An expenditure made by a person in cooperation, consultation, or concert with, or at the request or suggestion of, a candidate, a political or incidental committee, the person or persons named on the candidate's or committee's registration form who direct expenditures on behalf of the candidate or committee, or their agents; (iii) The financing by a person of the dissemination, distribution, or republication, in whole or in part, of broadcast, written, graphic, digital, or other form of political advertising or electioneering communication prepared by a candidate, a political or incidental committee, or its authorized agent…”</p><p>WAC 390-05-210(6) concerns consulting with a political committee and states in part that “An expenditure made by a person in cooperation, consultation, concert, or collaboration with, or at the request or suggestion of a political committee” is a contribution to/from the political committee. And (d) states in part: “An expenditure is made by or in consultation with any person who, during the twelve months preceding the expenditure, is or has been receiving any form of campaign-related compensation or reimbursement from the political committee or it’s agent….”</p><p>The Committee stated in their response that the individual responsible for filing the PDC reports “stepped away from the role” during 2022, and that “contributed to the outdated C1pc filing for the Snohomish Ebony PAC’s leadership.” The response stated that Ms. Chatters was the official Committee Treasurer during part of calendar year 2022, but at the first 2023 Committee meeting in March or 2023, “our organization appointed Louis Harris to be the treasurer.” The Committee stated that Ms. Chatters committed to serving as a board member while she was initially running as a candidate for Everett City Council, but there were two occasions during early calendar year 2023 when Ms. Chatters “stepped in to support SEPAC” and file the missing PDC reports since the Committee could not timely find a new Treasurer.</p><p>Ms. Chatters assisted the Committee in bringing the Committee reports into compliance, and once the reports were brought up to date, she “officially stepped away from her board duties and was no longer involved in the decision making at SEPAC” or filed any further PDC reports. Regarding the Committee consulting, collaborating, or cooperating with Ms. Chatters “in any facet of the mailer’s creation or production, we can say with certainty that did not happen.” The Committee stated that while they were supportive of Ms. Chatters due to “her hard work and dedication to the community, she was not involved with activities of the Snohomish Ebony PAC after 08/2023” which including the creation and sending of the mailer. The Committee stated that “this information can be corroborated by our organization’s minutes for all our meetings in 2023” that were submitted for PDC staff to review.</p><p>Ms. Chatters confirmed that information in her response to the complaint filed against her in PDC Case 144428, stating that she had served on the Snohomish Ebony PAC’s Executive board prior to the 2023 election cycle and “when their treasurer moved out of state, I stepped up to fill the need of reconciling their financial records and bringing their reporting into compliance.” She informed the Committee of her “intention to run for the Everett City Council in January of 2023, when I filed with the PDC for my campaign committee.” </p><p>PDC staff conducted a search of the expenditures database and found there were no payments or expenditures made to Demetria Chatters by the Snohomish Ebony PAC for “compensation” or any “reimbursement” during the four years of the committee’s existence, or more importantly during the twelve-month lookback period as outlined in WAC 390-05. In the response, the Committee stated that this allegation was “the subject of an unfortunate departure of one of our key compliance monitors.”</p><p>There was no evidence found that Snohomish Ebony PAC and Ms. Chatters “consulted” or “collaborated” with each other concerning the IE mailer, or that Ms. Chatters had knowledge about the IE, prior to it being presented to the public on October 23, 2023. </p><p><strong>Allegation of failing to include sponsor identification (RCW 42.17A.320)</strong></p><p>The Committee sponsored and distributed two IE advertisements during the 2023 election, that required the Committee to include the name, complete mailing address, and a statement that "No candidate authorized this ad” followed by the top 5 contributor information. </p><p>The Committee stated in their response that the failure to include the Top 5 contributor information and the “No candidate authorized this ad” statement on the two IE direct mail advertisements “was a regrettable oversight.” While it was clear that the Committee sponsored the IE, they acknowledged “the importance of this requirement and are committed to ensuring all future communications are fully compliant. This error was unintentional and arose during a period of high activity within our organization which led to a lapse in our usual checks and balances.” </p><p>Finally, the Committee noted that there does not seem to be “a way to rectify this issue” after the fact to correct the omitted sponsor identification information on the two IE political advertisements.</p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of violations that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any further enforcement action in this instance.

Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>The Respondent publicly declared as a candidate with Elections on May 14, 2019 and was therefore required to file a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) with the PDC within two weeks, or no later than May 28, 2019. The Respondent filed a C-1 report with the PDC on September 4, 2019, which is 99 days late.</p><p>In his response to the complaint, the Respondent indicated that noncompliance was the result of an erroneous belief that he was not required to file a C-1 report because he did not intend to raise, collect or spend any money on his campaign.</p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to timely register as a candidate does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. However, the PDC issued the Respondent a formal written Warning, including PDC staff's expectation that the Respondent will timely file C-1 reports in future years. The Commission may consider the formal written Warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/555890.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "55589 MacDermid Robert Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3149/55589%20MacDermid%20Robert%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "55589 MacDermid Robert Warning Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3149/55589%20MacDermid%20Robert%20Warning%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "55589 MacDermid Robert Complaint .pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3149/55589%20MacDermid%20Robert%20Complaint%20.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]03/19/2021 09:34:53 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Mr. Smith previously served several terms on the Lynnwood City Council before seeking election in 2019, and he is an incumbent Lynnwood City Council member after being elected to the office in that year.</p><p>On June 30, 2022, the Campaign filed an amended C-3 report disclosing Mike Echelberger’s occupation and employment information as “Retired”, and correcting the date received for the contribution from Mr. Echelbarger from December 16, 2020, to September 16, 2021. The amended C-3 report with the corrected date received for this contribution resolves the allegation listed in your complaint concerning the late candidate registration, as the candidacy did not actually begin in late 2020. </p><p>On July 17, 2022, the Campaign filed the 21-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report covering the period September 1 through October 11, 2021, disclosing that $4,600 in monetary contributions had been received, and $4,036 in expenditures made. The 21-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report was due to have been filed no later than October 12, 2021 and was filed 278 days late by the Campaign. The 21-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report disclosed a $3,471 expenditure was made to James Smith on October 7, 2021, for “Postage costs, mail permits, and purchase of stamps”, and two expenditures totaling $565 were made to USPS also on October 7, 2021, for “Postage costs, mail permits, and purchase of stamps.”</p><p>On August 7, 2022, the Campaign filed the 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report covering the period October 12 through 25, 2021, disclosing $1,971.77 in candidate in-kind contributions had been received and $3,275.46 in expenditures had been made. The 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report was due to have been filed no later than October 26, 2021 and was filed 281 days late by the Campaign. The 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report disclosed: (1) a $1,329.32 expenditure was made to ADG Printing on October 20, 2021, to print 2,000 Postcards; (2) five expenditures were made to the USPS between October 13 through 18, 2021, totaling $1,896.63 for postage costs; (3) a $1,329.32 candidate in-kind contribution/loan was made to ADG Printing on October 21, 2021, to print postcards; and (4) a $642.45 candidate in-kind contribution/loan was made to the USPS on October 23, 2021, for postage paid. </p><p>On August 7, 2022, the Campaign filed the Post General Election C-4 report covering the period October 26 through November 30, 2021, disclosing $2,070.47 in candidate in-kind contributions received and $3,418.16 in expenditures made. The Post General Election C-4 report was due to have been filed no later than December 10, 2021 and was filed 241 days late by the Campaign. The Post General Election C-4 report disclosed: (1) a $2,000.05 expenditure made to ADG Printing on October 26, 2021, to print 2,000 Postcards; (2) a $1,418.11 expenditure made to James Smith reimbursing him for “Printing literature, fliers, postcards, etc.…”; and (3) a total of $2,070.47 candidate in-kind contribution/loan were made that included $2,000.05 made to ADG Printing on October 27, 2021, to print 2,000 Postcards, and $70.42 for postage.</p><p>On August 22, 2022, the Campaign filed a C-3 report disclosing $2,000 in monetary contributions had been deposited on November 1, 2021. The contributions included a $1,000 monetary contribution received from an individual on November 1, 2021; and two $500 monetary contributions received on October 14, 2021, from the Lynnwood Police Officers Association and the Snohomish County Republican Party, respectively. The two $500 contributions received by the Campaign on October 14, 2021, were required to be disclosed on a C-3 report by October 25, 2021, and the $1,000 contribution was required to have been disclosed no later than December 10, 2021.</p><p>Between August 23 through 30, 2022, the Campaign filed amended C-4 reports for the 2021 election for the months of May and June, and the 7-Day Pre-Primary C-4 report correcting information previously disclosed on those reports.</p><p>On September 8, 2022, PDC staff received a signed Statement of Understanding (SOU) in the mail along with a check for the $600 civil penalty in this matter to resolve the allegations concerning the late filed C-3 and C-4 reports. The SOU completed by Mr. Smith acknowledged violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failing to timely file three C-4 reports and one C-3 report during the 2021 election cycle. </p><p>As noted above, the amended C-3 report corrected the date received for the Mike Echelbarger contribution, so no evidence was found that the James Smith Campaign failed to timely register as a candidate for the 2021 election cycle, and that allegation is dismissed. </p><p>The three C-4 reports and one C-3 report listed above were all filed by the Campaign well after the November 2, 2021, general election had been held, and are campaign finance violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240. Mr. Smith completed a SOU acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, and he paid a $600 civil penalty to resolve the three late filed C-4 reports that included the 21-Day and 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 reports, the Post General Election C-4 report, and one late filed C-3 report. </p><p>As to the sponsor identification allegation, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the PDC is issuing a formal written warning to James Smith concerning the requirements to include the complete sponsor identification on political advertising sponsored by his Campaign, including the words “Paid for” or “Sponsored by” followed by his name and the complete mailing address. The formal written warning resolves that allegation and includes staff’s expectation that James Smith will include the sponsor identification on all future political advertisements sponsored by him. James Smith will be advised that the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action, should there be future violations of PDC laws or rules. </p><p>Based on these findings, including the completed SOU, PDC staff found no evidence of further violations that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance.

Specifically, you alleged that the Committee received “more than 80% of its funding sourced from one primary source in 2023 by receiving $5000 in 2023 from cash contributions and of this it was entirely from another secretive PAC named Washington Medical Political Action Committee.” You attached a C-3 report (report # 110160540) as evidence of the alleged violation.</p><p>In its response to the complaint, received on September 5, 2023, the Committee stated: “A political committee is considered sponsored under WAC 390-16-011A when it receives 80% or more of its contributions from a single person or entity during the relevant period of time. Here, the PAC participated in the August 1, 2023 primary election. Therefore, the relevant time period is June 1, 2022 through June2, 2023 (The PAC is not organized to support a particular candidate or ballot measure). From July 21, 2022 (when the PAC received its first contribution) to June 2, 2023, the PAC received a total of $52,600 in contributions. Of that total, the Washington Medical Political Action Committee (Committee) contributed $10,000. Thus, the PAC did not receive 80% or more of its contributions from the Committee (or from any other single person or entity) during the relevant period of time. On July 19, 2023, the PAC received a further contribution of $5,000 from the Committee. This contribution is the focus of Mr. Morgan’s complaint. However, the $5,000 contribution was made after the June 2, 2023 cutoff, and therefore should not be included in any calculation to determine whether the PAC was a sponsored committee. Even if the contribution were considered for such purposes, the PAC still did not receive 80% or more of its contributions from the Committee: from July 21, 2022 to July 19, 2023, the PAC received 26% of its contributions from the Committee. Mr. Morgan asserts that the PAC received 100% of its funding from the Committee, but that is because Mr. Morgan is mistakenly considering contributions from 2023 only.”</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-16-011A, staff noted, that going back twelve months from when the Committee received a $5,000 contribution from Washington Medical Political Action Committee on July 19, 2023, (to July 2022), the Committee received about 26.2% of its contributions from Washington Medical Political Action Committee, which is less than the statutory required 80% for the Washington Medical Political Action Committee to qualify as a sponsor.</p><p>Based on the staff’s review of the complaint submitted, the written responses provided by the respondent, and the attachment provided, no evidence was found to substantiate a violation of RCW 42.17A.205 and WAC 390-16-011A. </p><p>PDC staff therefore determined that no evidence supported a finding of a violation warranting further investigation. </p><p>Accordingly, the PDC found that no further action was warranted and dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1412110.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141211 Fifty Plus One PAC Complaint Return Letter ....pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6096/141211%20Fifty%20Plus%20One%20PAC%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20....pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}, {"file_name" : "141211 Fifty Plus One PAC Complaint Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6096/141211%20Fifty%20Plus%20One%20PAC%20Complaint%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141211 Fifty Plus One PAC complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6096/141211%20Fifty%20Plus%20One%20PAC%20complaint.pdf", "description" : "141211 Fifty Plus One PAC complaint", "document_type" : ""}]09/18/2025 10:37:48 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The complaint alleged that Ann Marie Danimus, a candidate for State Senate, Legislative District 4 in the 2020 election, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the late reporting was due in large part to the lack of knowledge by the Respondent as a new candidate and treasurer. Although restrictions from COVID further limited the Respondent’s resources and the campaign reporting was late, staff found no evidence that the late reporting was done intentionally to conceal campaign activity from the public.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports for the 2020 Danimus Campaign does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Ann Marie Danimus will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately disclose contributions and expenditures for her 2020 Campaign. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Ms. Danimus timely and accurately files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1112500.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "111250 Danimus Ann Marie Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5516/111250%20Danimus%20Ann%20Marie%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "111250 Danimus Ann Marie Warning - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5516/111250%20Danimus%20Ann%20Marie%20Warning%20-%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "111250 Danimus Ann Marie Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5516/111250%20Danimus%20Ann%20Marie%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "111250 Danimus Ann Marie Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5516/111250%20Danimus%20Ann%20Marie%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]10/21/2022 07:15:17 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(Jun'23, EY'23)RCW 29B.45.010/42.17A.555Case Closed with ReminderPublic Employee - Local<p>A complaint was filed against Kevin Erickson, an incumbent Ferndale School District (FSD) Board member, alleging that Mr. Erickson violated RCW 42.17A.555 by using the facilities of the FSD when he allowed Nancy Button, a local Ferndale citizen and a candidate seeking election to FSD School Director in 2023, to make statements in support of her candidacy during the public comment section of the FSD school board meeting.</p><p>RCW 42.17A.555 states, in part: “No elective official nor any employee of his or her office nor any person appointed to or employed by any public office or agency may use or authorize the use of any of the facilities of a public office or agency, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of assisting a campaign for election of any person to any office or for the promotion of or opposition to any ballot proposition.”</p><p>Kevin Erickson has been an incumbent School Director for the FSD since being elected to that office in 2010. In his June 26, 2023, response, Mr. Erickson stated he was Chair or Presiding Officer at the May 30, 2023, Ferndale School Board meeting where Nancy Button signed up to make comments during the public comment section of the meeting.</p><p>Ms. Button is a former FSD school teacher who resigned her position with the district in June of 2021, and along with several other citizens has been critical of the FSD school board and its policies, making public comments at several FSD board meetings in 2022. According to a February 7, 2023, article in the Cascadia Daily News, Ms. Button filed a formal ethics complaint in late January or early February of 2023, against FSD board members for alleged activities that took place during her failed attempt to be appointed to an open FSD school board position.</p><p>According to the article and prior public comments made by Ms. Button in the videos reviewed by PDC staff, since Ms. Button’s retirement in June of 2021, she has spoken or made comments during multiple public comment segments at school board meetings to share her thoughts on a variety of topics. </p><p>At the November 2022 FSD School Board meeting, the article stated, the “school board reviewed its public comment policy and moved to limit each session to 45 minutes with a 3-minute limit for each speaker. In recent months, the school board has also decided to enforce the rule that only residents of Ferndale and employees can speak during public comment — a rule they’d been lax on in the past.” After reviewing the public comment policy language, it was determined that the FSD president has the right to “interrupt or terminate an individual’s statement when it is too lengthy, defamatory, abusive, repetitive, obscene or irrelevant.”</p><p>Ms. Button began her comments at the May 30, 2023, FSD Board meeting by stating that she is a 2023 candidate for School Director, and then she proceeded to discuss some of the issues that she had testified about at earlier school board meetings during the public comment section. Ms. Button made several references concerning her beliefs about the lack of transparency on the part of the FSD School Board, and PDC staff’s review of the meeting video indicated she addressed the board about the Open Public Meetings Act (OMPA) and stated the board was “being sued concerning this important piece of legislation.”</p><p>Ms. Button stated that if she were elected to the FSD school board, she would take the open public meetings law “seriously” and would work to ensure compliance with it. Ms. Button went on to discuss sexual education curriculum and the school board’s ethics policy. She ended her comments by stating, “Through developing transparency, I hope to attract back the families that have abandoned our district."</p><p>Mr. Erickson stated that Ms. Button had spoken at several earlier school board meetings about the transparency and OPMA issues, the appointment process, the board’s handling of Covid-related issues such as masking, testing and vaccine mandates, and Critical Race Theory. He stated that she had previously discussed these “issues as it relates to the OPMA litigation” and acknowledged that the FSD board was involved in before Ms. Button became a 2023 candidate. He added that in his mind at the time Ms. Button was making her comments it “was a challenging call as to whether her comments were a violation or not.”</p><p>Mr. Erickson added that Button’s comments in support of her candidacy were part of a common theme that Ms. Button had repeatedly made in the past few at other school board meetings. He stated, “depending on one’s frame of reference an argument could be made in either direction” and that “over the past few years, public comments have become more and more contentious and silencing speakers, even when blatantly out of line, more difficult.” He added that he wished he would have “at least reminded her that public comment was not an appropriate forum for campaigning. Unfortunately, I doubt that she or her supporters would have felt it represented campaigning and would have potentially only escalated the situation. It’s also much easier to come up with a solution outside the moment than when living it.” </p><p>Mr. Erickson said that he did “not have the luxury of on-site legal counsel available to me to decide on an issue such as this at the time and simply had to do my best in the moment.” He stated that “It's easy for someone from the outside to say that I should or shouldn’t have allowed Ms. Button to continue.” Mr. Erickson stated that he was “aware” of RCW 42.17A.555, and basically understand the intent, and that he did his best “to make sure that I am not in violation of such.” </p><p>Mr. Erickson stated that his “decision to allow Ms. Button to continue was not made out of disregard for RCW 42.17A.555 or out of any disregard for campaigning rules and restriction. It was simply the best decision I could make in real time based on the information and resources that were available to me in the moment. If my decision was in error, I apologize.”</p><p>Mr. Erickson stated that FSD’s policy covering the public comment section of the board meetings provided him with some information concerning the policy, but added that at the next FSD meeting, he intended “to add a reminder that district facilities and/or resources cannot be used for personal campaigning, and this includes public comment at our board meetings.” He stated he has served as FSD Board President “multiple times and presided over several regular and special meetings,” but added that he has not received any formal training from the district “on presiding over public comment.” </p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of further violations that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any enforcement action in this instance. </p><p>PDC staff is reminding Kevin Erickson concerning the prohibitions found in RCW 42.17A.555 against using Ferndale School District resources and facilities, including allowing citizens to make statements in support of their candidacies, or in support or opposition of any other candidate or ballot proposition, during the public comment section of a district school board meeting.</p><p>The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1384520.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Kevin Erickson response to complaint (PDC Case 138452).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5835/Kevin%20Erickson%20response%20to%20complaint%20%28PDC%20Case%20138452%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "138452 Erickson, Kevin Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5835/138452%20Erickson%2C%20Kevin%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "138452 Erickson, Kevin Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Kevin Erickson complaint resolution ltr (Larson) PDC Case 138452.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5835/Kevin%20Erickson%20complaint%20resolution%20ltr%20%28Larson%29%20PDC%20Case%20138452.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Reminder"}]07/25/2023 11:12:24 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The complaints alleged that the Clark County Democratic Central Committee, a bona fide county party committee registered with the Public Disclosure Commission, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.230 for failure to timely and accurately report contributions from low-cost fundraisers, and failure to timely deposit contributions from fundraisers; (2) RCW 42.17A.235 for failure to timely report contributions and expenditures and failure to maintain sufficient books of account; (3) RCW 42.17A.240 and WAC 390-16-037 for failure to accurately report in-kind contributions and expenditures, expenditure details generally, and failure to report proceeds from fundraisers; (4) RCW 42.17A.270 for failure to timely and accurately report earmarked contributions and WAC 390-17-015 for improper transfer of earmarked contributions; and (5) RCW 42.17A.460 for failure to report earmarked contributions as made from both the original contributor and the party as a conduit of earmarked contributions.</p><p>The complaint also alleged violations RCW 42.17A.430 regarding the disposal of funds and RCW 42.17A.555 regarding the use of public facilities, neither of which are applicable to bona fide party committees. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Walter Smith, legal counsel for the Clark County Democratic Central Committee (CCDCC); the applicable C-3 and C-4 reports filed by Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Staff found that CCDCC made several errors in reporting their 2016, 2017 and 2018 campaign activities that required amendments to be submitted to correct missing, incorrect or incomplete data regarding contributions and expenditures. Many of these errors were corrected by the committee after receiving the complaint and none of those errors appear to have been intentional or otherwise meant to mislead the public, and they were not material. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, for calendar years 2016, 2017 and 2018, CCDCC’s failure to disclose specific expenditures timely and include the required description, failure to timely report a monetary contribution, reporting incorrect employer and occupation information for individual contributors giving more than $100 in the aggregate, and depositing a small number of contributions late, does not amount to an actual violation warranting further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), the Clark County Democratic Central Committee received a formal written warning concerning failure to accurately and timely disclose all contribution and expenditures, including detailed expenditure descriptions, all occupation and employer information for individual donors and timely deposits of contributions received. The formal written warning included staff’s expectation that CCDCC accurately and timely files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures and makes deposits within five business days of receipt of contributions. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.<br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/438550.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "43855 Clark Co Democratic Central Cmte (3) Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2062/43855%20Clark%20Co%20Democratic%20Central%20Cmte%20%283%29%20Response.pdf", "description" : "43855 Clark Co Democratic Central Cmte (3) Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "43855 Clark Co Democratric Central Cmte (3) Formal Warning Ltr.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2062/43855%20Clark%20Co%20Democratric%20Central%20Cmte%20%283%29%20Formal%20Warning%20Ltr.pdf", "description" : "43855 Clark Co Democratric Central Cmte (3) Formal Warning Ltr.pdf", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "43855 Clark Co Democratic Central Cmte (3) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2062/43855%20Clark%20Co%20Democratic%20Central%20Cmte%20%283%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "43855 Clark Co Democratic Central Cmte (3) Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "43855 Clark Co Democratic Central Cmte (3) Supplemental Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2062/43855%20Clark%20Co%20Democratic%20Central%20Cmte%20%283%29%20Supplemental%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "43855 Clark Co Democratic Central Cmte (3) Supplemental Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}]07/01/2019 11:46:32 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

PDC staff reviewed the allegations listed in the complaint; the applicable statutes, rules, the email exchanges with Domains by Proxy and GoDaddy; and the email response from Carol Rose, Respondent; to determine whether the record supports a finding of a violation.

Mr. Steadman is an incumbent Lacey City Councilmember since being elected to that position in 2013, and he was re-elected to that position in 2017 and 2021. </p><p>On April 21, 2023, the 2023 Citizens for Michael Steadman for Thurston County Commissioner (Campaign) disclosed making a $388.08 expenditure on the April 2023 C-4 report to Capitol City Press for “1,000 stickers for signs.” Your complaint allegation questioned that expenditure and asked where the signs came from for the stickers that the campaign purchased.</p><p>Mr. Steadman stated his 2020 Thurston County Commissioner Campaign had yard signs leftover after the 2020 general election was held, and that he stored for possible use in a future campaign. He stated his Campaign has “amended the May 10th C-4 report to show the reused signs at the value purchased in 2020 with the sizes and quantity.”</p><p>On July 7, 2023, the Campaign filed an amended C-4 report for April of 2023, disclosing two in-kind contributions totaling $4.552.49 from Mr. Steadman and both made on April 21, 2023, for yard signs left over and reused from the 2020 Campaign. Those two in-kind contributions included: (1) 500-yard signs reused from 2020 totaling $2,145.69; and (2) 250-yard signs reused from 2020 totaling $2,406.80. </p><p>On February 8, 2023, the Campaign filed the January 2023 C-4 initial report disclosing a $1,000 beginning cash on hand balance in surplus funds carried forward into the current campaign. Mr. Steadman stated that The Michael Steadman Surplus Fund account had a balance of $950 leftover from the 2020 Campaign for Thurston County Commissioner. </p><p>Mr. Steadman stated that he deposited $50 in personal funds into the surplus funds account on February 28, 2022, and that he filed a C-3 report disclosing that deposit on July 10, 2023. He stated that the Michael Steadman surplus funds account also filed a C-4 report on July 10, 2023, disclosing the $1,000 in surplus funds “being brought into the 2023 campaign” or carried forward from the 2020 Campaign.</p><p>For the 2020 campaign, Mr. Steadman stated that his Campaign has filed amended C-4 reports for calendar years 2019 and 2020 correcting the reporting “errors” that failed to include the number of items printed/mailed, the quantities of yard signs purchased, and the description details for expenditures. The Campaign filed a total of six amended C-4 reports disclosing the following:</p><ul><li>10/27/2020 to 11/30/2020: The amended Post-General Election C-4 report listed a $1,682.74 expenditure made on November 6, 2020, to Capitol City Press to print 9,694 pieces for a 5-way mailer.</li><li>9/1/2020 to 10/12/2020: The amended the 21-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report listed: a) a $1,868.85 expenditure made on October 8, 2020, to Capitol City Press for postage to mail 9,694 pieces for a 5-way mailer; and b) a $2,406.80 expenditure to Capitol City Press to print 250-yard signs and purchase 250 stakes.</li><li>7/28/2020 to 8/31/2020: The amended the Post-Primary Election C-4 report listed a $500 expenditure made to Mike Whitlatch on June 6, 2020, for design of yard signs/website etc.</li><li>12/1/2019 to 12/31/2019: The amended December 2019 C-4 report listing a $408.22 expenditure made on December 24, 2019, to Capitol City Press to print 500 slim jims.</li><li>6/01/2019 to 6/30/2019: The amended June 2019 C-4 report listed a $837.49 expenditure made on June 11, 2019, to Inbound Designs for 5 96” x 48” yard signs.</li><li>4/1/2019 to 4/30/2019: The amended April 2019 C-4 report listed a $2,326.52 expenditure made on April 12, 2019, to Inbound Designs to 250-yard signs.</li></ul><p>Mr. Steadman stated that his treasurer for the 2023 campaign “is a paid volunteer and is not a ‘professional’ as alleged in the complaint.” He stated that his current “treasurer is resigning from the campaign. Effective 7/15/23.”</p><p><strong>AMENDED January 11, 2024, Complaint return letter addressing the two remaining allegations</strong></p><p>On July 25, 2023, PDC staff sent Mr. Steadman an email with an attached a letter stating that staff found no evidence of a violation that would require scheduling an enforcement proceeding into the complaint allegations, and that staff had resolved three of the allegations with a warning letter being issued to the 2020 and 2023 Michael Steadman for Thurston County Commissioner Campaigns, and the Michael Steadman Surplus Funds account. </p><p>The letter included a warning concerning the requirements to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports in the future, and only surplus funds may be deposited into the surplus funds account in the future, and a technical correction for the yard signs carried forward from the 2020 Campaign.</p><p>On August 3, 2023, PDC staff sent an email to Mr. Steadman informing him that after receiving your email concerning the remaining allegations staff had re-opened the case for: (1) the discrepancy with the 2017 City Council surplus funds total and the 2021 Lacey City Council race beginning balance of funds carried forward; and (2) the 2018 C-3 report and C-4 reports filed for a Lacey City Council race that did not appear on the ballot and what election the $3,000 in contribution and $5,700 in expenditures were actually attributed to.</p><p>On August 10, and September 6, 2023, Mr. Steadman sent emails to PDC staff confirming that the PDC had re-opened the matter concerning the remaining two allegations, and that Andy Lo was hired as a new Treasurer to: (1) reconcile the 2018 Lacey City Council and 2020 Thurston County Commissioner activities; (2) re-file the necessary C-3 and C-4 reports disclosing the 2018 City Council activities under the 2020 Thurston County Commissioner Campaign; and (3) address the 2017 surplus funds and the discrepancy in the surplus funds carried forward to the 2020 and 2021 Campaigns. </p><p>On October 19, 2023 the Campaign filed three new C-4 reports for the 2020 Campaign for Thurston County Commissioner, one new C-3 report, and one amended C-3 report disclosing the following: </p><p>1. A C-4 report covering the period February 1 through September 30, 2018, disclosed $3,000 in monetary contributions were received and deposited on September 11, 2018; one expenditure for $2,000 was made to Inbound Designs on September 11, 2018, for website design; and the report included a small un-itemized $40 expenditure.<br>2. A C-4 report covering the period October through December 31, 2018, disclosed no new contributions were received; a $3,700 expenditure was made to Sounds Sports Net on October 27, 2018, for other advertising; and a small un-itemized $15 expenditure.<br>3. A C-4 report covering the period January 1 through February 28, 2019, disclosed no new contributions were received, and a small un-itemized $10 expenditure.<br>4. A new C-3 report was filed disclosing $3,000 in contributions received and deposited on September 11, 2018, that included $1,000 in candidate’s personal funds; a $1,000 monetary contribution from James Steadman in Arizona; and a $1,000 monetary contribution from the Steadman Family Trust, both designated for the 2020 primary election.<br>5. An amended C-3 report disclosing $7,000 in contributions received and deposited on March 8, 2019, comprising $5,000 in candidate’s personal funds; a $1,000 contribution from James Steadman in Arizona for the general election; and a $1,000 contribution from the Steadman Family Trust, also in Arizona, for the general election.<br><br>Concerning the 2017 surplus funds balance and the discrepancy in the surplus funds carried forward to the 2021 Campaign, Mr. Lo stated: “the surplus for the 2017 campaign was transferred with permission to the 2020 campaign. The $1,000 discrepancy between the final 2017 amount and what was reported to have been transferred is because one of the checks” that was made out to a non-profit using 2017 surplus funds was never cashed by the recipient. </p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing further enforcement action in this instance. </p><p>As noted above, the yard signs were initially purchased by Mr. Steadman’s 2020 Campaign for Thurston County Commissioner and were disclosed by the 2020 Campaign, and the Campaign timely disclosed the purchase of the 1,000 stickers for campaign signs. One day after receiving an email from PDC staff concerning the case opening and being notified that his 2023 Campaign needed to place a value and report the signs on a C-4 report, the Campaign filed an amended April 2023 C-4 report disclosing the in-kind contributions for the signs.</p><p>The amended April 2023 C-4 report filed by the Campaign disclosed two in-kind contributions totaling $4.552.49 for the yard signs. Based on WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), PDC staff is resolving this allegation as a Technical Correction and dismissing this allegation in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p><p>The six amended C-4 reports filed by the 2020 Michael Steadman for Thurston County Commissioner Campaign, corrected the reporting errors that were made on the initial C-4 reports filed by the 2020 Campaign. Those errors included the failure to provide required expenditure details such as the number of items printed or mailed, the quantities of yard signs purchased, and the description for some of the expenditures. </p><p>As noted in staff’s review and Mr. Steadman’s response, some of the C-3 and C-4 reports filed by the Michael Steadman Surplus Account were not timely filed. In addition, concerning the $50 in personal funds deposited into the surplus funds account, WAC 390-16-236(2)(b) states, “Only surplus funds may be deposited in a surplus funds account.” The $50 contribution deposited into the surplus fund account is mitigated by the facts: (1) the contribution is from the candidate using his personal funds; (2) the surplus funds were transferred into his 2023 Campaign; (3) a candidate does not have a contribution limit to his own Campaign; and (4) the $50 in personal funds only represented five percent of the total surplus funds transferred.</p><p>In accordance with WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), PDC staff is issuing a formal written warning to the 2020 and 2023 Michael Steadman for Thurston County Commissioner Campaigns and the Michael Steadman Surplus Funds account concerning the requirement to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports for the remainder of the 2023 election cycle, and to only deposit surplus funds into the Michael Steadman Surplus Funds account in the future.

Staff reviewed all attachments submitted with the complaint, the pertinent statute, and all other relevant information. </p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><p>On March 29, 2022, Dana Tucker filed a Candidate Registration (C-1) report with the PDC declaring her candidacy for election to the office of County Coroner in Cowlitz County, selecting the “Mini Reporting” option and listing herself as Treasurer.</p><p>On June 27, 2022, Dana Tucker requested and was granted permission to switch from Mini-to-Full reporting. On the same day, Dana Tucker submitted a new/amended C-1 report, selecting the “Full Reporting” option and listing Brandon Farrell and Ella Masters as Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer, respectively.</p><p>In her response to your complaint, received on Friday, January 13, 2023, Ms. Tucker stated: “During the election campaign, I obtained many endorsements from people all over. With that, either myself or my campaign manager personally spoke with each one of these people, obtaining either verbal consent or letters of endorsement. I have always taken people for their word, therefore the ones where I received a verbal confirmation, I did not feel I needed to obtain a signature from them. When I was alerted that Ms. Fieken was saying these things I went through my entire list of endorsers to see if there was someone that I even thought may have backed out and not informed me of. Yet I did not see any. I contacted the two names that were provided. I contacted the Yakima County Coroner Jim Curtis, who told me that he wasn’t going to endorse anyone this time because he has his own campaign to run. I said ok, and that I understood, but that we had discussed this at the conference and he said he would. I said I was sorry if I misunderstood him and that I would remove his name from my list immediately, which I did. The other one in question was Duane Dalgleish. I saw Duane at the Chaplains banquette where I spoke with him, telling him that I was running and asked for his endorsement. He had said yes and gave me his email contact. I emailed him later. My manager contacted Duane’s wife, Jerry, and told her the situation. She said that they were wanting to sit down with me first. When he said that Rebecca had stated that they said they had not endorsed me, Jerry told him to leave Duane’s name on the endorsement. So, his name was not removed. If there was anyone that backed out on an endorsement after I spoke with them, I had no knowledge of it until these two names were brought up. This is my first endeavor in running for office. With that being said, I have followed all the rules of the PDC to the best of my knowledge.

However, upon review of its response to this complaint together with the scanned copies of a deposit slip and the check from SEIU, it appears this was a typographical oversight by the Committee’s treasurer. Based on the deposit slip and the copy of the check, the check was received on November 28, 2016, as opposed to November 8, 2016 as alleged in the complaint, and deposited on the same day (November 28, 2016). </p><p>Based on these findings staff determined that no evidence supports a finding of a violation warranting further investigation. </p><p>Based on this information, PDC dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/592370.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "59237 Fuse Votes Complaint Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3327/59237%20Fuse%20Votes%20Complaint%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "59237 Fuse Votes (2) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3327/59237%20Fuse%20Votes%20%282%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "59237 Fuse Votes Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3327/59237%20Fuse%20Votes%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]02/21/2020 12:50:39 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>The Respondent is a first-time candidate who filed with Elections officials on May 17, 2019 and was therefore required to file a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) with the PDC within two weeks, or no later than May 31, 2019. </p><p>The Respondent filed a C-1 report with the PDC on August 3, 2019, which is 64 days late. On the C-1 report, the Respondent selected the Mini-reporting Option, whereby a candidate’s campaign is not required to file C-3 & C-4 reports with the PDC if they raise & spend no more than $5,000 and receive no more than $500 from any one contributor. </p><p>Noncompliance was the result of a good-faith error or omission, which the Respondent quickly took corrective action to resolve upon being notified. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to timely register as a candidate does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. However, the PDC reminded the Respondent about the importance of timely filing all future PDC reports.

He was urged to exercise caution when sharing or posting photos on his political candidate Facebook page at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/adamfortneyforsheriff/">www.facebook.com/adamfortneyforsheriff</a> that were taken on the job and/or feature or utilize county resources (e.g. buildings, uniforms, vehicles, staff time) to ensure they comply with RCW 42.17A.555. PDC staff expects that, in the future, all the photos posted to the Respondent’s political candidate Facebook page will meet the criteria for permitted use set forth in .555 and the PDC’s Guidelines.</p><p>The PDC also reminded Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) that RCW 42.17A.555 prohibits public agency employees from using public resources to assist a campaign, and that sharing any posts that originate from the Facebook page of a candidate on the agency’s official Facebook page or other social media platforms could violate PDC laws and rules.

The campaign start date was February 23, 2023, but the campaign did not file a candidate declaration.</li><li>The campaign’s March 2023 filings included two C-3 reports filed on time that showed March activity including a $100 loan from the candidate and $600 raised in contributions from multiple sources. There were four other C-3 reports, related to March activity, filed late on July 19, 2023, and showed $375 raised in contributions from multiple sources. For April activity there were two C-3 reports filed on July 19, 2023, showing $100 contributed by multiple sources and a $52 loan from the candidate. In total, six C-3 reports were filed late.</li><li>There were two required C-4 filings filed late on July 10, 2023, and amended on July 19, 2023.</li><li>In the candidate’s response to the complaint, Mr. DeHart says the campaign ended within eight weeks of filing the C-1 because of medical issues of a family member. The approximate date the campaign ended was April 20, 2023.</li><li>C-4 for period 02/24-03/31/23 showed $1,127 cash contributions received, $49 in-kind contributions received, and $617.68 total spent to include the Complainant’s identified costs for website startup, Break Blue Strategies retainer and campaign promotional materials.</li><li>C-4 for period 4/1-4/30/23 showed $277 cash contributions received and $715.83 total spent.</li><li>C-4s for May and June were each filed 7/19/23 and show no contributions or expenditures made. These reports were not required because the campaign previously ended, and no reportable activities occurred in May or June.</li><li>Following notification of the complaint, and other questions from PDC staff, the Respondent worked promptly to supply necessary information to Break Blue Strategies so that incomplete and missing reports were filed. </li><li>The Respondent does have a prior violation of RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 from 2022 that resulted in a warning.</li></ul><p>The late filing of the C-3 and C-4 reports were not intentional and did not unduly withhold information from the public. Mr. DeHart states in his response:</p><p>I deeply regret and apologize for this mistake. As you know a lot of my care and attention in recent weeks has been focused on my family, and this oversight is a very regrettable<br>casualty of that attention - especially considering the context of this inquiry. As I said at the outset I never intended to mislead or hide any aspect of our finances from the public.</p><p>Based on the case review, staff has decided that, in this instance, James DeHart’s failure to promptly and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), showing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, James DeHart will receive a formal written warning concerning his failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports).

PDC Case 179337 regarding Jessica Davis</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Dear
Jessica Davis,</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>
The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of a complaint
filed by Justin Mager, which alleged you violated RCW 42.17A.320 by failing to
include complete sponsor identification (ID) on your candidate website.
Specifically, the complaint alleged that your yard signs lacked your campaign
address and position number. Starting on June 6, 2024, sponsor address is
required to be displayed on yard signs, and this information did appear to be
missing from your signs. However, position number is not required so the latter
allegation is hereby dismissed.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Applicable
Laws and Rules</span></b><span></span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>Pursuant
to <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.320" target="_blank">RCW 42.17A.320</a>, all written political advertising must
include the name and address of the sponsor<a href="https://wapdc.freshdesk.com/a/tickets/179337#_ftn1" target="_blank">[1]</a>.
Sponsor identification should appear on the first page or fold of the
political advertising, in at least ten-point type or 10% of the largest
font size used (whichever is larger), and be set apart from any other
printed matter. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>Political
advertising as defined in <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.005" target="_blank">RCW 42.17A.005(40)</a> includes, but is not limited

signs.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>Additional
disclosures may be required, depending on the sponsor and type of
advertising used - see <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-18-010" target="_blank">WAC 390-18-010</a> and <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-18-030" target="_blank">WAC 390-18-030</a>, which contain additional information
regarding sponsor identification requirements and exemptions for political
advertising, and alternatives for online advertising.</span></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><a href="https://wapdc.freshdesk.com/a/tickets/179337#_ftnref1" target="_blank">[1]</a> For
the purposes of political advertising, the “sponsor” is the person who paid for
the advertising. If a person acts as an agent or is reimbursed for the payment,
the original source of the payment is the sponsor.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Background
and Findings</span></b><span></span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>You
were a candidate for School Director for Cheney School District 360 in
election year 2025 who registered with the PDC on 5/7/25 and selected the
Mini Reporting option. You served as your own Treasurer and were a
first-time candidate. Election records show that you did not participate
in the Primary Election, advanced to the General Election, and were not
elected to the position sought. You have no prior warnings or violations
of PDC laws and rules.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>Your
yard signs appeared to lack sponsor address as required. The inclusion of
sponsor address on yard signs is a relatively new requirement, which is
partially mitigating. Some of the text on your signs and/or stickers did
not appear to be at least 10% of the largest font size used, which is also
required. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>Other
required elements of sponsor ID, including the "Paid for by"
phrase and the name of the sponsor, were present on your signs, which is
partially mitigating, and the public was not deprived of your identity as
the sponsor.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>You
made a good-faith effort to resolve noncompliance by attaching stickers
containing missing sponsor address to your signs, starting October 1, 2025.</span></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Summary
and Resolution</span></b><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Having
reviewed the complaint and the supporting evidence, PDC staff has determined
that you appear to have violated RCW 42.17A.320. After consideration of all the
circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purposes of the Fair
Campaign Practices Act. Under WAC 390-37-070, the executive director, at any
time prior to consideration by the Commission, may dismiss a complaint which on
its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a
violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial
compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal
enforcement action is not warranted. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Based
on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=29B.60.020">RCW
29B.60.020(1)</a> and WAC 390-37-060(1)(d). PDC staff is reminding you about
the importance of providing full sponsor ID on political advertising as
required. You are expected to comply with PDC statutes and rules concerning
sponsor ID in the future.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>If

The C-4 report listed the description as “Digital Ad placement ½ each Mary Bacon, Elizabeth Pew Support.”</li><li>On October 26, 2021, the Committee timely filed the 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report disclosing $1.31 in contributions received and $71,447.95 in total expenditures made that included five expenditures made to Upper Left Strategies, Seattle, Washington between October 13 to 25, 2021, and totaling $33,076.36 for the printing and mailing of three independent expenditure mailers and the purchase of $10,000 in digital ads placed in support of R. Lewis. The C-4 report also disclosed: (1) two Committee expenditures were made to Hopkins & Sachs, Inc. totaling $16,827.82 for a $10,000 expenditure made on October 25, 2021, listing the description as “Digital Media Ads: Pro M. Bacon & Pro E. Pew”, and a $6,827.82 expenditure made on October 16, 2021, for “Direct Mail: 8,779 pieces. Pro M. Bacon, Pro E. Pew” ; and (2) a $16,214.20 Committee expenditure was made on October 25, 2021, to The Sexton Group, out of Chicago, Illinois, for Phone calls: Pro Labrant, pro Perez, & pro Harless. </li><li>On December 10, 2021, the Committee timely filed the Post-General Election C-4 report disclosing $46,997.65 in monetary and in-kind contributions received and $24,084.86 in total expenditures made. </li></ol><p>On January 10, 2022, the Committee filed an amended Post-General Election C-4 report disclosing the same $46,997.65 in monetary and in-kind contributions received, and that total expenditures increased to $28,116.38, and included: (1) a $10,000 expenditure made to Upper Left Strategies on October 26, 2021, for a “Digital Media purchase – pro R Lewis; (2) a $6,249.85 expenditure made to The Sexton Group on November 1, 2021, for “Texting Services”; and (3) a $4,031.52 expenditure made to Upper Left Strategies on October 29, 2021, for “Printing costs for pro R. Lewis mailer, 12,266 pieces.”</p><p>Staff also reviewed the original and amended C-6 reports that were filed within 21 days of the November 2, 2021 general election. The review found that WA Conservation Voters Action Fund (WCVAF) filed a total of 41 initial and amended C-6 reports between October 14, 2021 through January 10, 2022, disclosing independent expenditures undertaken in support of or opposition to 2021 candidates on the general election ballot and checking either box #1 or box #2 on the C-6 form. The 41 C-6 reports filed by WCVAF included: (1) 18 initial C-6 reports filed between October 14 through November 1, 2021; (2) seven amended C-6 reports filed between October 25-26, 2021; (3) eight amended C-6 reports filed on October 29, 2021; and (4) eight amended C-6 reports filed on January 10, 2022. </p><p>Mr. Pender stated in his responses to the PDC that the Committee and WCVAF “would like to work with a Filer Assistance Specialist to amend reports if that is needed to resolve this situation.” He stated that WCVAF “takes seriously its compliance responsibilities as a registered state political action committee, strives to follow all applicable reporting requirements…is diligent about completing its filings in a timely and compliant manner.” He stated that WCVAF believes the C-4 and C-6 reports and amended C-4 and C-6 reports filed by the Committee, complied with requirements found in 42.17A.260(3)(C) and WAC 390-16-037. </p><p>Mr. Pender stated that WAC 390-16-037 did not specifically state “anything about identifying the number of items purchased”, but noted the rule listed two examples and only one indicated WCVAF “would only need to provide numbers of printed materials, not for calls or texts.” He stated that for a few of the C-6 reports, WCVAF “reported estimated expenditure amounts and then amended the form when final amounts became available.” He added that the Committee, WCVAF and its officers and staff “strive to stay up to date with the filing and reporting requirements of Washington State campaign finance law, and we attend trainings to continually improve our compliance efforts.” </p><p>In addition, Mr. Pender stated that as part of WCVAF’s “commitment to compliance,” the WCVAF “has taken steps to educate and cross-train all staff regarding political activity reporting, so that if a staff member is out of the office or unavailable for any reason,” the required report will still get timely filed. He stated that WCVAF staff continued to work with staff concerning the limitations of the “Description” field on the C-6 report that limits the filer or user to a 28-character description of the independent expenditure. He stated that when filing the C-6 reports, WCVAF “staff spent several minutes on each form trying to fit in as much descriptive text as possible but were constantly running into that 28-character limit.” PDC staff confirmed the 28-character limit for the expenditure description field of the PDC filing application for electronically filing the C-6 report. </p><p>On March 24, 2022, the Committee file an amended 21-Day Pre-General Election, a 7-Day Pre-General Election, and Post-General Election C-4 report in accordance with PDC staff’s request, disclosing the required expenditure description(s), including the sub-vendor breakdowns and expenditure details for the independent expenditures.</p><p>Staff reviewed the C-6 statutes, rules, and reporting requirements in accordance with RCW 42.17A.260, for the C-6 reports that were filed by WCVAF. Staff’s review found that the expenditure descriptions listed in WAC 390-16-037 only applied to the C-4 reporting requirements found in RCW 42.17A.240, and the C-6 report, Box #1 reporting requirements found in RCW 42.17A.255. </p><p>As a continuing political committee participating in the 2021 election cycle and regularly filing C-3 and C-4 reports, the Committee was exempt from filing C-6 reports, box #1 for Independent Expenditures of $100 or more in accordance with RCW 42.17A.255. </p><p>In addition, the rule concerning how to report “Expenditures by agents and agents’ sub-vendors” found in WAC 390-16-205, only references WAC 390-16-037. WAC 390-16-205 does not mention or refer to RCW 42.17A.260 for reporting independent expenditures within 21 days of an election (Box #2 of the C-6 report). Thus, the independent expenditure descriptions disclosed on the C-6 reports, box #2 filed by WCVAF complied with the C-6 reporting requirements. </p><p>Based on our findings, that included: (1) the Committee timely filed the initial 21-Day Pre-General Election, the 7-Day Pre-General Election, and Post-General Election C-4 reports disclosing some of the expenditure details for the independent expenditures made in the form of political advertising and the candidates supported or opposed; (2) the Committee filed 33 C-6 and amended C-6 reports between October 14 through November 1, 2021, prior to the November 2, 2021 general election date; and (3) the Committee timely filed amended 21-Day Pre-General Election, 7-Day Pre-Genera Election, and Post-General Election C-4 reports after staff requested those amendments.</p><p>PDC staff has determined that, in this instance, the Committee’s failure to provide the required sub-vendor or expenditure descriptions and details for several expenditures that were otherwise timely disclosed on the C-4 reports does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. The Committee was responsive and timely filed the amended C-4 reports listed above disclosing the required information as soon as the deficiency concerning the expenditure description requirements were brought to its attention. </p><p>As noted above, the C-6 reports, box #2 filed by the WCVAF substantially complied with the independent expenditure reporting requirements, including the expenditure descriptions/details. </p><p>The Washington Conservation Voters PAC made ministerial errors on the required C-4 reports, which the impact on the public interest was mitigated by the fact that the Committee filed the 33 initial and amended C-6 reports during a 17-day period prior to the general election disclosing independent expenditures undertaken during the 2021 election cycle. </p><p>Upon notification of the errors, the Washington Conservation Voters PAC timely amended the pertinent C-4 reports, making the necessary technical corrections as requested by staff. Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter as a technical correction in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1021950.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "WA Conservation Voters PAC Complaint Return Ltr (PDC Case 102195).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5085/WA%20Conservation%20Voters%20PAC%20Complaint%20Return%20Ltr%20%20%28PDC%20Case%20102195%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Technical correction"}, {"file_name" : "102195 WA Conservation Voters Action Fund Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5085/102195%20WA%20Conservation%20Voters%20Action%20Fund%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "WA Conservation Voters Response (PDC Case 102195).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5085/WA%20Conservation%20Voters%20Response%20%28PDC%20Case%20102195%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]03/29/2022 12:32:44 PMPDC staff resolved case after correction of minor or ministerial error.

The Committee was registered and reporting as a continuing political committee dating back to at least 2010.</li><li>Per RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, under the Full Reporting Option, the Committee was required to disclose contribution and expenditure information by submitting Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports and Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports to the PDC. The Committee’s due dates for the C-3 and C-4 reports are determined by its activity and participation in the election cycle.</li><li>All of the reports due in 2020 were filed significantly late on 9/29/2021. However, of the twelve reports, outlined in the evidence provided, only one report showed a level of late-reported activity that exceeded the $200 threshold for required reporting in 2020. C-4 report #110050354 identifies $209.27 in expenditures for organizational maintenance costs. The Committee does not appear to have participated in the 2020 election. </li><li>In response to the complaint, the acting Vice-Chair stated, “The reason is simply that we were young after a changing of the guard and had extremely high turnover in the treasurer position, as well as a steep learning curve for those brave enough to take on the task. As far as I know the issues have been remedied to the degree possible under the circumstances. It may be helpful to note that the Washington Progressive Party no longer exists as a legal entity at this time.” </li><li>The Committee has no other similar complaints or violations.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, the Washington Progressive Party’s failure to timely disclose contributions and expenditures on reports in election year 2020 does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, the Washington Progressive Party will receive a formal written warning concerning their failure to follow filing requirements for RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 when reporting in 2020. Staff expects the Washington Progressive Party to file all required reports of contributions and expenditures in future years timely and accurately. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1418190.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141819 Washington Progressive Party Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6137/141819%20Washington%20Progressive%20Party%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "141819 Washington Progressive Party Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6137/141819%20Washington%20Progressive%20Party%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141819 Washington Progressive Party Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6137/141819%20Washington%20Progressive%20Party%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]11/20/2023 12:04:39 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

555911275209/26/202209/25/202211/03/2022William DeilkeMarianne NicholsNichols, Marianne: Alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately report campaign expenditures. (SEPT 22 EY 22)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsCandidate - Local<p>A complaint was filed against the 2022 Re-Elect Marianne Nichols for Pend Oreille County Auditor Campaign, alleging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to timely and accurately disclose contribution and expenditure activities for yard signs and fair booth rental fees on Summary Full Campaign Contributions and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports). </p><p>On April 20, 2022, Marianne Nichols filed a Candidate registration with the PDC declaring her candidacy for re-election to the office of Pend Oreille County Auditor, selecting the Full Reporting option, and listing Jeff Nichols as Campaign Manager, and Ms. Nichols listed herself as Treasurer. Ms. Nichols is the incumbent County Auditor and has served in that position since being elected to that position in 2006. </p><p>On October 7, 2022, Ms. Nichols submitted her response to the allegations listed in the complaints stating that all the campaign signs posted by her 2022 Campaign had been purchased back in 2006 as part of her initial Campaign for election to the Auditor position. She stated that she was unopposed for re-election and filed under the Mini Reporting option for the 2010, 2014 and 2018 Campaigns, so the signs leftover from the 2006 Campaign were not disclosed since no reports were required.</p><p>Ms. Nichols stated that the signs have been stored in her garage and that no new signs had been purchased by the 2022 Campaign. She stated that she disclosed on her C-4 reports the purchase of “the "re" stickers for "re-elect", as well as the t-posts, screws and zip ties used to put the signs up.” She stated that if she needed “to disclose some sort of a diminished value of these signs, could I get some assistance as to how to disclose that?” </p><p>Ms. Nichols noted that “she did not have any receipts left from the purchase in 2006, and that the wood stakes used, this material all came from scrap wood we had around our house." She stated that no new wood or stakes were purchased by the Campaign to construct the yard signs, but if she needed to disclose the used wood and materials, she requested assistance from PDC staff to help determine the fair market value for the wood.</p><p>On October 16, 2022, after contacting PDC staff the Campaign filed an amended C-4 report covering the period April 20 through May 31, 2022, disclosing three new in-kind contributions from candidate Nichols to her Campaign for used yard signs leftover from a prior Campaign and used materials to re-construct or repair the old signs for posting. </p><p>The three in-kind contributions totaled $60 and included the following descriptions: (1) Campaign signs purchased in 2006 and valued at $30 as follows – 100 yard signs ($.20 each estimated current value), and 25 large signs ($.40 each estimated current value); (2) Scrap wood used for approximately 100 stakes for campaign signs and valued at $20 as follows ($.20 each approximately); and (3) 20 T-Posts valued at $10 (laying around the property and used on old fencing).</p><p>Concerning the allegation about failing to disclose the Newport Rodeo booth rental, Ms. Nichols stated that Becky Walrath, a candidate for Pend Oreille County Commissioner, Position 2 in 2002, rented a booth at the 2022 Newport Rodeo. She stated that she did not take part in the booth rental, she “did not work it, or step behind the table in any way. I stopped by the booth and visited with her once during the rodeo time for about five minutes. She did have 4 of my signs there.” After discussion with PDC staff, it was determined there was no discernable value for merely have four-yard signs in a fair booth.</p><p>Concerning the allegation about failing to disclose the Pend Oreille County Fair and Rodeo booth rental Ms. Nichols stated that she decided at the “very last minute to join Becky Walrath in sharing a booth at the Rodeo, August 18-21.” She stated that Ms. Walrath had already paid for the booth and asked her to participate as a candidate in the booth with her. </p><p>Ms. Nichols agreed and said at the time she asked Ms. Walrath if she would like me to help pay and she told her the booth had already been paid for. She stated that “I did not pay her for half of the fee at the time, but I realize I should have paid for my half and have subsequently written her a check for $45.”</p><p>On October 22, 2022, the Campaign filed an amended 21-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report covering the period September 1 through October 17, 2022, and disclosing that on October 6, 2022, the Campaign made a $45 expenditure to Becky Walrath and listing the description “1/2 of fee for booth rental at Pend Oreille County Fair and Rodeo.” The amended C-4 report was filed four days after the October 18, 2022, due date.</p><p>As noted above, the yard signs were initially purchased by Marianne Nichols for her 2006 Campaign and were properly disclosed at that time. When she was made aware that she needed to place a value and report them for the 2022 Campaign, she timely and accurately filed an amended C-4 report disclosing $60 for the used yard signs carried forward from the 2006 Campaign, more than 16 years ago. </p><p>Concerning the allegation of sharing of the Pend Oreille County Fair and Rodeo booth with Becky Walrath, Ms. Nichols stated she decided at the last minute to join her and share the booth for the August 18-21 rodeo. She disclosed the $45 expenditure to reimburse Ms. Walrath for her portion of the booth rental on the next C-4 report which was an amended 21-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report.</p><p>Marianne Nichols is serving as her own Treasurer for this election cycle, is under the Full Reporting Option and in a contested general election for the first time since the 2006 election, and she has no prior PDC violations.</p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any enforcement action in this instance. </p><p>PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1127520.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "112752 Nichols Marianne Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5559/112752%20Nichols%20Marianne%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "112752 Nichols Marianne Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Nichols, Marianne Complaint Return Letter (PDC Case 112752).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5559/Nichols%2C%20Marianne%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28PDC%20Case%20112752%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}, {"file_name" : "Marianne Nichols Complaint Response (Deilke) PDC Case 112752.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5559/Marianne%20Nichols%20Complaint%20Response%20%28Deilke%29%20PDC%20Case%20112752.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]11/03/2022 07:09:32 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The complaint alleged that Michael Goodnow, a candidate for City Council for the City of Bremerton in the 2021 election, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the small number of late reports were due to the limited experience of the Respondent and technical difficulties using ORCA. Staff found no evidence that the late reporting was done intentionally to conceal campaign activity from the public.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports for the 2021 Browning Campaign does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Michael Goodnow will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately disclose contributions and expenditures for his 2021 Campaign. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Mr. Goodnow timely and accurately files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1113130.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "111313 Goodnow Michael Warning - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5519/111313%20Goodnow%20Michael%20Warning%20-%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "111313 Goodnow Michael Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5519/111313%20Goodnow%20Michael%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "111313 Goodnow Michael Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5519/111313%20Goodnow%20Michael%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "111313 Goodnow Michael Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5519/111313%20Goodnow%20Michael%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]10/24/2022 07:53:49 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Staff found no evidence that the late amendment was intentional or otherwise done to conceal campaign activity from the public.</p><p>Based on our findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely amend the committee registration to identify opposition to a ballot proposition, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.<br> </p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, We Want Accountability PAC will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely amend its committee registration disclosing opposition to a ballot proposition. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that the Respondent timely files all future required campaign reports and include only accurate sponsor ID on its advertisements. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1224860.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "115649 Resist the Recall Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5716/115649%20Resist%20the%20Recall%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "122486 We Want Accountibility PAC Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5716/122486%20We%20Want%20Accountibility%20PAC%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "122486 Resist the Recall Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5716/122486%20Resist%20the%20Recall%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "122486 Resist the Recall Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]06/02/2023 05:15:11 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Additionally, Mr. Stober’s Campaign took responsibility and promptly refunded the overlimit contribution and amended the pertinent report(s) as soon as this complaint was brought to its attention. </p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), staff issued a formal written warning to Ty Stober concerning his failure to adhere to the statutory contribution limits delineated in RCW 42.17A.405. The formal written warning will include the staff’s expectation that Ty Stober will adhere to the statutory contribution limits in all future campaigns. Additionally, Mr. Stober was informed the Commission would consider the formal written warning issued by staff in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws and rules. </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1404600.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "140460 Stober Ty Complaint Return Letter ....pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6074/140460%20Stober%20Ty%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20....pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "140460 Stober Ty Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6074/140460%20Stober%20Ty%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "140460 Stober Ty Complaint Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6074/140460%20Stober%20Ty%20Complaint%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]01/21/2025 11:49:44 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Additionally, Mr. Hansen took responsibility and promptly refunded the overlimit contribution and amended the pertinent report(s) as soon as this complaint was brought to his attention. </p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), staff issued a formal written warning to Bartholomew Hansen concerning his failure to adhere to the statutory contribution limits delineated in RCW 42.17A.405. The formal written warning will include the staff’s expectation that Bartholomew Hansen will adhere to the statutory contribution limits in all future campaigns. Additionally, Mr. Hansen was informed the Commission would consider the formal written warning issued by staff in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws and rules. </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1404580.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "140458 Hansen Bartholomew Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6073/140458%20Hansen%20Bartholomew%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "140458 Hansen Bartholomew Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "140458 Hansen Bartholomew Complaint Return Letter .pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6073/140458%20Hansen%20Bartholomew%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "140458 Hansen Bartholomew Complaint Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6073/140458%20Hansen%20Bartholomew%20Complaint%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]01/21/2025 11:48:12 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Snohomish County Elections records show the Respondent did not participate in the Primary Election and advanced to the General Election.</li><li>The complaint alleged a First Amendment violation and a lack of transparency committed by the campaign through the Sheriff’s Facebook campaign page. The PDC does not have jurisdiction over First Amendment violations and will not pursue further review of this allegation. The Fair Campaign Practices Code, WAC 390-32-010 to 030, provides guidance to candidates and political committees on how to conduct themselves during a campaign. Complaints alleging a violation of the code must follow a very specific format with which your complaint did not conform, and we therefore cannot proceed with these allegations.</li><li>RCW 42.17A.555 states in part, no elective official nor any employee in his or her office nor any person appointed to or employed by any public office or agency may use or authorize the use of any of the facilities of a public office or agency, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of assisting a campaign for election of any person to any office or for the promotion of or opposition to any ballot proposition. The statute and PDC Interpretation No. 04-02 further clarify and explain what is considered a “facility,” as well as exceptions to the law.</li><li>On March 29, 2021, Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) Staff received a complaint against Adam Fortney alleging a violation of RCW 42.17A.555 by using public office/agency facilities to assist an election campaign. Staff conducted a case review (see case #89226), and on June 7, 2021, staff issued a reminder about the importance of avoiding even the appearance or perception of using agency facilities.</li><li>On November 27, 2022, PDC Staff received a complaint against Adam Fortney alleging a violation of RCW 42.17A.555 by using public agency resources to assist a campaign. Staff conducted a case review (see case #115027), and on February 27, 2023, staff issued a reminder about the importance of not using public office/agency resources to assist a campaign for election, even when a candidate does not consider themself to be “campaigning.” Furthermore, Adam Fortney was reminded that as an elected official and public office agency/employee that he was subject to RCW 42.17A.555 regardless of the timing of campaign activities. With that reminder, Adam Fortney was provided the PDC’s Guidelines for Local Government Agencies in Election Campaigns to assist in future compliance with the law. </li><li>On August 1, 2023, PDC Staff received a complaint against Adam Fortney alleging a violation of RCW 42.17A.555 by using public agency resources to assist a campaign. On October 5, 2023, the PDC opened an investigation into the allegation (see case #140550), and on November 15, 2023, the PDC entered a Statement of Understanding (SOU) that included an admission of a violation and the payment of a civil penalty in the amount of $150.00. </li><li>Staff received your complaint on October 6, 2023, and opened a case on October 13, 2023, for further review of the allegations. Staff’s review of the evidence found that Sheriff Fortney used his position as Sheriff of Snohomish County and his official email address in the pursuit of gathering information regarding the re-accreditation of the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office. Contacting and corresponding with the Washington Association of Sheriffs & Police Chiefs staff was within the scope of work for the Sheriff and per WAC 390-05-273 does fall within the definition of “normal” per their official duties. However, staff found that the outreach was not “regular” per the definition in WAC 390-05-273 because Sheriff Fortney requested the information about the re-accreditation once it became an issue for him in his re-election campaign. Further he turned the content of this outreach into materials used on his campaign Facebook page “Sheriff Adam Fortney” before requesting the materials release through the public records process.</li><li>Sheriff Adam Fortney lost the 2023 re-election campaign, and his term of office ended earlier this year.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, the misuse of public facilities does not amount to a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Adam Fortney will receive a formal written warning concerning his use of agency facilities to create content for the purpose of supporting his re-election campaign for Snohomish County Sheriff. PDC staff expects that, in the future, he will follow all applicable PDC laws, rules and guidance regarding the prohibition on the use of any of the facilities of a public office or agency, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of assisting a campaign for election of any person to any office of for the promotion of or opposition to any ballot proposition. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1434400.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "143440 Fortney_Adam Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6243/143440%20Fortney_Adam%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "143440 Fortney Adam Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6243/143440%20Fortney%20Adam%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "143440 Fortney Adam Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "143440 Fortney_Adam Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6243/143440%20Fortney_Adam%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]01/12/2024 09:31:02 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

612514165508/23/202308/23/202311/20/2023Glen MorganEd PottharstPottharst, Ed: Alleged Violations of RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 and WAC 390-16-037 for failure to disclose contributions & expenditures on reports and failure to list the vendor and the address of the vendor for in-kind contributions (Aug'23, EY'19)WAC 390-16-037, RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>PDC staff reviewed the allegation(s); the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>The Respondent filed a Candidate Registration (C-1) report on May 21, 2019, and selected the Full Reporting option. Ed Pottharst lost in the primary election and did not proceed to the general election in 2019. Andrew Kamins was the treasurer of the campaign.</li><li>Per RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, under the Full Reporting Option, the Committee was required to disclose contribution and expenditure information by submitting Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports and Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports to the PDC. The Committee’s due dates for the C-3 and C-4 reports are determined by its activity and participation in the election cycle.</li><li>Amendments are insufficient evidence of late reporting. There are many reasons a committee might amend their reports and the mere presence of an amendment is not itself conclusive evidence of a violation. When considering C-3 and C-4s, these report amendments require inspection of the actual report to figure out whether the committee has a requirement to report activity by a given date. As well, deciding if a report is late is not as simple as calculating the days late based on a periodic reporting timeline and when a report was filed but is fact specific to the campaign and its activities. In this instance, the evidence provided was insufficient to support the allegations of late or inaccurate reporting for the identified amended reports for 2019. </li><li>Of the non-amended reports due in 2019, outlined in the evidence provided, there were 15 C-3 reports filed significantly late after the 2019 primary election, with most filed in 2021, for a total of $38,012 in contributions. There was one C-4 report filed in 2021 that reported a $10,000 payment to treasurer Jeanne Legault and an escheatment to the City of Seattle for $1,447.09.<ul><li>Of the C-3s filed late, report # 100932365 showed two contributions, made by two different people, with their employer information showing as “Seeking Information.” PDC staff contacted the campaign, and upon determining the information had been obtained, the campaign amended the report.</li><li>For the late filed C-4 report, PDC staff contact City of Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission (SEEC) and confirmed the $1,447.09 had been escheated per Seattle Municipal Code 2.04.634.E.</li></ul></li><li>RCW 42.17A.240 also details requirements for information reported. PDC guidance further clarifies that disclosure of vendor name and address is encouraged when reporting in-kind contributions. The complaint alleges, that in report # 100917762, the campaign failed to disclose the vendor address on an in-kind contribution made by the candidate. PDC staff reviewed the report and determined the campaign did report the vendor’s name, but the vendor address is missing from the detail. Based on the information that was reported, the public was not deprived of critical information at the time of the election. Due to character limitations in ORCA, at the time of reporting, detail as outlined in the WAC would not have been feasible. Therefore, PDC staff has decided that requiring the campaign to amend reports now, four years past the election, does not serve the purpose of providing useful or timely information to the public.</li><li>Per WAC 390-16-037(2), expenditures pursuant to an agreement or understanding must describe in detail the goods and/or services provided.</li><li>The complaint identified three reports alleged to be missing a detailed description of purpose for reported expenditures. Based on staff’s review of the reports the reporting was insufficient in detail as outlined in WAC 390-16-037(2). The campaign did provide a general description of the expenditures and based on the information reported, the public was not deprived of critical information at the time of the election. Due to character limitations in ORCA, at the time of reporting, detail as outlined in the WAC would not have been possible. Therefore, PDC staff has decided that requiring the campaign to amend reports now, four years past the election, does not serve the purpose of providing useful or timely information to the public.</li><li>In response to the complaint, Mr. Pottharst and his treasurer, Jeanne Legault, explained that at the end of the campaign the candidate was having trouble closing out their campaign. According to Ms. Legault, the SEEC “asked me to help him re-file his reports, because there were some filing errors etc. and he was unable to balance to zero. … the object was to close out the account in as timely a fashion as possible. Unfortunately, Mr. Pottharst had a family emergency, and this delayed his ability to provide the information I needed.”</li><li>Mr. Pottharst does not have similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, Ed Pottharst’s failure to timely and accurately disclose contributions and expenditures on reports in election year 2019 and provide detailed descriptions for expenditures and vendor address for in-kind contributions of goods does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Ed Pottharst will receive a formal written warning concerning their failure to follow filing requirements for RCW 42.17A.235, .240 and WAC 390-16-037 when reporting in the 2019 election year. Staff expects Ed Pottharst to file all required reports of contributions and expenditures in future years timely and accurately. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1416550.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141655 Pottharst_Ed Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6125/141655%20Pottharst_Ed%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141655 Pottharst_Ed Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6125/141655%20Pottharst_Ed%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141655 Pottharst_Ed Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6125/141655%20Pottharst_Ed%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]05/20/2024 01:57:14 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(EY '18; Aug '22)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed on August 4, 2022. The complaint alleged that Melody Peterson, a candidate for Mason County Assessor in the 2018 election, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing in-kind contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Melody Peterson served as her own treasurer and lost in the 2018 general election. Although no expenditures made by the 2018 Peterson Campaign were disclosed prior to the 2018 general election, staff found that if not for the contributions received from the Mason County Democratic Committee, the Campaign would have likely qualified for the “Mini Reporting” option and no C-4 reports would have been required, had the Campaign chosen that option. No evidence was found that the late reporting was done to intentionally conceal campaign activity from the public.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately submit C-4 reports disclosing approximately $2,100 in expenses does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Melody Peterson will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately disclose expenditures made by the 2018 Peterson Campaign. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Ms. Peterson timely and accurately files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1113450.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "111345 Peterson Melody Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5527/111345%20Peterson%20Melody%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "111345 Peterson Melody Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5527/111345%20Peterson%20Melody%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "111345 Peterson Melody Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "111345 Peterson Melody Warning - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5527/111345%20Peterson%20Melody%20Warning%20-%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "111345 Peterson Melody Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5527/111345%20Peterson%20Melody%20%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]10/24/2022 08:20:12 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Only two candidates filed to run for city council member, position 3 in the City of Lacey in 2023, so there was no primary election and Mr. Dunning’s name did not appear on the 2023 primary ballot. As such, Mr. Dunning was limited to one $1,000 contribution limit from any one source during the 2023 election year, which should have been attributed to the general only since there was no primary election in 2023. </p><p>Based on this determination, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), staff issued a formal written warning to Mr. Dunning for accepting an overlimit contributions in violation of RCW 42.17A.405.

The Committee was registered and reporting as a continuing political committee dating back to at least 1996.</li><li>Pro-Choice Washington, the 501(c)(4) sponsor of the political committee, was until the fall of 2021 affiliated with the national parent organization NARAL Pro-Choice. In previous years, the Committee has registered with the PDC under the following entity names:<ul><li>NARAL Pro-Choice WA</li><li>NARAL Pro-Choice Washington PAC</li><li>Pro-Choice Washington PAC</li></ul></li><li>Per RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, under the Full Reporting Option, the Committee was required to disclose contribution and expenditure information by submitting Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports and Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports to the PDC. The Committee’s due dates for the C-3 and C-4 reports are determined by its activity and participation in the election cycle.</li><li>Specific to reporting for 2018, the alleged violations are beyond the statute of limitations. Per RCW 42.17A.770, action must be started within five years after the date when the alleged violation occurred. </li><li>Specific to reporting for 2019, alleged violations of late and inaccurate reporting were handled under PDC case #59665, and the Respondent received a written warning. No new allegations were made in the current complaint, specific to the 2019 reporting, so the resolution from the prior case stands.</li><li>Amendments are insufficient evidence of late reporting. There are many reasons a committee might amend their reports and the mere presence of an amendment is not itself conclusive evidence of a violation. When considering C-3 and C-4s, these report amendments require inspection of the actual report to determine whether the committee has a requirement to report activity by a given date. As well, deciding if a report is late is not as simple as calculating the days late based on a periodic reporting timeline and when a report was filed but is fact specific to the campaign and its activities. In this instance, the evidence provided was insufficient to support the allegations of late or inaccurate reporting for the identified amended reports for years 2020, 2021, and 2022. </li><li>Of the non-amended reports due in 2020, 2021, and 2022, outlined in the evidence provided, only two reports showed a level of late-reported activity that would have deprived the public of critical information.<ul><li>C-3 #110075206, deposit date 9/17/21 for a total estimated activity of $1,000 filed 165 days late. A review of the report showed all individual contributions reported correctly.</li><li>C-3 #110108826, deposit date 8/9/22 for a total estimated activity of $2,800 filed 13 days late. A review of the report showed all individual contributions reported correctly except employer information was missing from one contribution in excess of the $250 aggregate limit. Once notified, the Committee took prompt action to amend the report.</li></ul></li><li>A mitigating factor of the late reporting was that the sponsor of the Committee underwent significant organizational challenges caused by the COVID pandemic as well as the transition from being affiliated with NARAL Pro-Choice that affected its ability to supply adequate in-kind administrative staff and oversight of the Committee. Late reporting, over the years outlined in the complaint, was attributable to that lack of administrative support. The Committee, in early 2023, had new staff assigned specifically to the Committee’s PDC filings and completed a reconciliation of reporting that resulted in filing and amending many reports. The Committee has consistently filed timely reports throughout 2023.</li><li>RCW 42.17A.270 reads, in part, that political committees receiving a contribution earmarked for the benefit of a candidate or another political committee must report the contribution as required in RCW 42.17A.235 and .240; and identify the contribution as an “earmarked contribution,” identifying the date and amount of the contribution, the name and address of the contributor, and the candidate or political committee for whose benefit the contribution is earmarked.</li><li>In their response to the alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.270, the Committee said “contributions described as from ‘NARAL PAC’ are simply contributions from the Committee. Prior to the end of the NARAL Pro-Choice national affiliate structure in fall 2021, the Committee ran under the name ‘NARAL Pro-Choice Washington PAC,’ reflected in the Committee’s C-1pc filings.” The C-1pc filings, available on the PDC website, supports the Committee’s statement. The Committee also stated that they have “at no time made earmarked contributions on behalf of another PAC.”</li><li>The Committee previously received a Reminder Letter (PDC Case 34202) and a Warning Letter (PDC Case 59665) in response to other complaints alleging similar violations for failure to timely file C-3 and C-4 reports.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has decided that, in this instance, Pro Choice Washington PAC’s failure to timely and accurately disclose contributions and expenditures on reports in election years 2018 to 2022, and incomplete reporting of earmarked contributions in 2020 does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Pro Choice Washington PAC will receive a formal written warning concerning their failure to follow filing requirements for RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 when reporting in years 2020, 2021, and 2022. Staff expects Pro Choice Washington PAC to file all required reports of contributions and expenditures in future years timely and accurately. Regarding the alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.270, incomplete reporting of earmarked contributions in 2020, the PDC has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1) and WAC 390-37-060(1)(a) and will not conduct a more formal investigation into these allegations or take further enforcement action in this matter. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1416020.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141602 Pro Choice Washington NARAL Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6120/141602%20Pro%20Choice%20Washington%20NARAL%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141602 Pro Choice Washington NARAL Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6120/141602%20Pro%20Choice%20Washington%20NARAL%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141602 Pro Choice Washington PAC Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6120/141602%20Pro%20Choice%20Washington%20PAC%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]11/01/2023 01:48:04 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The Committee is a continuing committee and has selected the Full Reporting option. Per the Chair, the Committee participated in elections on April 23, 2019, and February 8, 2022.</li><li>Per RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, under the Full Reporting Option, the Committee was required to disclose contribution and expenditure information by submitting Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports and Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports to the PDC. The Committee’s due dates for the C-3 and C-4 reports are determined by its activity and participation in the election cycle.</li><li>Amendments are insufficient evidence of late reporting. There are many reasons a committee might amend their reports, and the mere presence of an amendment is not itself conclusive evidence of a violation. When considering C-3 and C-4s, these report amendments require inspection of the actual report to figure out whether the committee has a requirement to report activity by a given date. As well, deciding if a report is late is not as simple as calculating the days late based on a periodic reporting timeline and when a report was filed but is fact specific to the campaign and its activities. In this instance, the evidence provided was insufficient to support the allegations of late or inaccurate reporting for the identified amended reports for 2023. </li><li>Of the non-amended reports due in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, outlined in the evidence provided, there were eight C-3 reports and four C-4 reports filed significantly late during these reporting years. In their response to the complaint, the Committee acknowledged the reports were filed late due to medical issues experienced by the volunteer treasurer. The Committee has since hired a professional treasurer and reports filed in 2023 have been submitted timely and appear accurate.</li><li>Per WAC 390-16-037(2), expenditures pursuant to an agreement or understanding must describe in detail the goods and/or services provided.</li><li>The complaint identified six reports alleged to be missing detailed description of purpose for reported expenditures. Based on staff’s review of the reports the reporting was insufficient in detail as outlined in WAC 390-16-037(2). The campaign did provide a general description of the expenditures and based on the information reported, the public was not deprived of critical information at the time of the election. Due to character limitations in ORCA, at the time of reporting, detail as outlined in the WAC would not have been feasible. Therefore, PDC staff has determined that requiring the campaign to amend reports now, for the 2019 election, does not serve the purpose of providing useful or timely information to the public. PDC staff did request the Committee amend the one report in the 2022 campaign, C-4 #110124675, and the Committee has complied with that request. </li><li>The Committee does not have similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, Lake Washington Schools Levy Committee’s failure to timely and accurately disclose contributions and expenditures on reports in election years 2019 through 2022 and provide detailed descriptions for expenditures does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Lake Washington Schools Levy Committee will receive a formal written warning concerning their failure to follow filing requirements for RCW 42.17A.235, .240 and WAC 390-16-037 when reporting in the 2019 through 2022 election years. Staff expects the Committee to file all required reports of contributions and expenditures in future years timely and accurately. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1417000.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141700 Lake WA Schs Levy Cmte Complaint Rtn Ltr (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6129/141700%20Lake%20WA%20Schs%20Levy%20Cmte%20Complaint%20Rtn%20Ltr%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "141700 Lake Washington Schools Levy Committee Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6129/141700%20Lake%20Washington%20Schools%20Levy%20Committee%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141700 Lake Washington Schools Levy Committee Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6129/141700%20Lake%20Washington%20Schools%20Levy%20Committee%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]05/20/2024 01:57:51 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

He filed a candidate declaration on May 19, 2023. Mr. Mitchell lost in the 2023 primary election.</li><li>On or about October 19, 2023, a campaign mailer from J. Riley Sweeney was received by the two Complainants. The mailer showed Mr. Sweeney, a candidate for Meridian School District 505 Director District 5 position, as endorsed by School Director Marty Gray and School Director Craig Mitchell. The photo used in the mailer included all three individuals standing in front of a school. PDC staff inquired about the location of the photo and was told the photo was taken in the courtyard of Meridian High School, at 194 W. Laurel Rd., Bellingham, WA.</li><li>Superintendent, Dr. James Everett, confirmed the courtyard is unlocked on weekend days, and accessible to the public, when there are school activities occurring on campus. Both Mr. Gray and Mr. Mitchell confirmed the photo was taken on Saturday, September 23, 2023. This is the same date a volleyball match was occurring on campus, making the courtyard accessible to the public, and this is how the area in the photo was accessible to Mr. Gray and Mr. Mitchell for a photo with J. Riley Sweeney.</li><li>Craig Mitchell does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has decided that, in this instance, there does not appear to be evidence supporting a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>PDC staff reminds Craig Mitchell about the importance of not appearing to use public agency resources (facilities) to promote or oppose a candidate. PDC staff expect that, in the future, Mr. Mitchell will act in accordance with PDC laws, rules and guidance when taking pictures of school facilities for use in campaign related materials.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1439890.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "143989 Mitchell Craig Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6264/143989%20Mitchell%20Craig%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "143989 Mitchell Craig Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "143989 Mitchell_Craig Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6264/143989%20Mitchell_Craig%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Reminder"}, {"file_name" : "143989 Mitchell_Craig Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6264/143989%20Mitchell_Craig%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]11/06/2023 05:04:04 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The Committee, formerly identified as Committee for Tribal Self Reliance or Campaign for Tribal Self Reliance by Washington Indian Gaming Association, was registered and reporting as a continuing political committee dating back to at least 2008.</li><li>Per RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, under the Full Reporting Option, the Committee was required to disclose contribution and expenditure information by submitting Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports and Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports to the PDC. The Committee’s due dates for the C-3 and C-4 reports are determined by its activity and participation in the election cycle.</li><li>Specific to reporting for 2018, the alleged violations are beyond the statute of limitations. Per RCW 42.17A.770, action must be started within five years after the date when the alleged violation occurred. </li><li>Amendments are insufficient evidence of late reporting. There are many reasons a committee might amend their reports and the mere presence of an amendment is not itself conclusive evidence of a violation. When considering C-3 and C-4s, these report amendments require inspection of the actual report to determine whether the committee has a requirement to report activity by a given date. As well, deciding if a report is late is not as simple as calculating the days late based on a periodic reporting timeline and when a report was filed but is fact specific to the campaign and its activities. </li><li>Of the non-amended reports due in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, outlined in the evidence provided, there were seven C-3 and four C-4 reports that showed a level of late-reported activity that would have deprived the public of critical information. This is particularly important since the Committee did participate in elections during the years 2019 through 2023. A mitigating factor in this case is that some of the funds reported are refunds to the sponsoring agent Washington Indian Gaming Association.</li><li>In response to the complaint, the Committee states, “We will do better in the future and will institute processes to improve our timeliness. I have taken the PDC training courses and will be sure to continue to do so, as well as have other staff attend. I also will continue to engage with our outside firm on best practices for filing.” </li><li>The Committee has no other similar complaints or violations on record.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, Campaign for Tribal Self-Reliance, sponsored by the Washington Indian Gaming Association PAC’s failure to timely and accurately disclose contributions and expenditures on reports in election years 2019 to 2023 does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Campaign for Tribal Self-Reliance, sponsored by the Washington Indian Gaming Association PAC, will receive a formal written warning concerning their failure to follow filing requirements for RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 when reporting in years 2019 to 2023. Staff expects the Committee to file all required reports of contributions and expenditures in future years timely and accurately. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1418420.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141842 Campaign for Tribal Self-Reliance, Spnsrd by WA Indian Gaming Assoc PAC Complaint Rtn Ltr (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6140/141842%20Campaign%20for%20Tribal%20Self-Reliance%2C%20Spnsrd%20by%20WA%20Indian%20Gaming%20Assoc%20PAC%20Complaint%20Rtn%20Ltr%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "141842 Campaing for Tribal Self-Reliance Sponsored by the Tribal Gaming Association PAC Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6140/141842%20Campaing%20for%20Tribal%20Self-Reliance%20Sponsored%20by%20the%20Tribal%20Gaming%20Association%20PAC%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141842 Campaign for Tribal Self Reliance Sponsored by the Tribal Gaming Association PAC Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6140/141842%20Campaign%20for%20Tribal%20Self%20Reliance%20Sponsored%20by%20the%20Tribal%20Gaming%20Association%20PAC%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]11/20/2023 11:43:13 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaint alleged that Safe Eastside PAC, a political committee registered in 2021, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.205 for failure to submit a Committee Registration (C-1pc report) within two weeks of becoming a committee; and (2) RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the political committee.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Committee Manager and Treasurer, Kan Qiu, on behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the lack of detail originally included on October 2021 C-4 report regarding the payment to RM Consulting originally reported with the description “GOTV Consulting”, was an oversight and not meant to conceal campaign activity from the public.

(Oct '19)WAC 390-16-011, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240, RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205Case Closed with Written WarningPolitical Committee - Other<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed on October 23, 2019. The complaint alleged that Citizens for Community Driven Prosperity (C4CDPPAC), a political committee registered with the PDC since 2017, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.205(5) & WAC 390-16-011A for failure to include the name of the committee’s sponsor on the Committee Registration (C-1pc report) for election year 2017 and 2019; and (2) RCW 42.17A.240(11) for failure to include the same sponsor on Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), filed by C4CDPPAC.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by James E. Barton II, on behalf of his client C4CDPPAC; the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>RCW 42.17A.205(5), RCW 42.17A.005(b)(i) and WAC 390-16-011A include filing requirements, definitions and methods for determining a sponsor or sponsored committee name. The laws and rules do not identify or suggest a specific naming convention for a sponsored committee. According to Mr. Barton’s response, it appears that C4CDPPAC believed that it had complied with PDC laws and rules.</p><p>Although C4CDPPAC has no previous violations of RCW 42.17A and a closer examination of the C-1pc filed by the committee identified Community Driven Prosperity PAC as an affiliated committee, staff believes that the sponsor would have been more evident to the general public through an amendment of the registration and that this is the intent of the law.</p><p>Staff did not request C4CDPPAC to amend previously submitted C-3 and C-4 reports to include the sponsor in the committee name.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to include the sponsor of the committee in the name of the committee on the C-1pc does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation. </p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, C4CDPPAC received a formal written warning concerning failure to accurately disclosure the name of the entity sponsoring the committee in the name of the committee on the C-1pc report. The formal written warning included staff’s expectation that C4CDPPAC accurately files all future required reports including the C-1pc and any C-3 and C-4 reports with the sponsor clearly identified in a manner easily recognizable to the general public. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/591620.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "59162 Citizens for Community Driven Prosperity Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3317/59162%20Citizens%20for%20Community%20Driven%20Prosperity%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "59162 Citizens for Community Driven Prosperity Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3317/59162%20Citizens%20for%20Community%20Driven%20Prosperity%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "59162 Citizens for Community Driven Prosperity Warning Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3317/59162%20Citizens%20for%20Community%20Driven%20Prosperity%20Warning%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]04/08/2020 03:26:06 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.
36907619208/26/202008/26/202010/12/2020Arthur David ChurchmanRobin FarrisFarris, Robin: Alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.555 for misuse of City Council Meeting to support or oppose election campaigns (EY 20; Aug 20)RCW 29B.45.010/42.17A.555Case Closed with Written WarningPublic Employee - Local<p>A complaint was filed alleging that Robin Farris, an incumbent City of Puyallup City Councilmember, may have violated RCW 42.17A.555 by using the facilities of the City of Puyallup to make statements during a City Council meeting about a political committee distributing political advertising during the 2020 election in support or opposition of a candidate.</p><p>During the August 18, 2020 Puyallup City Council meeting, Councilmember Robin Farris made comments concerning a political committee that sponsored and distributed political advertisements in the 25th Legislative District in which she stated <i>"property taxes increased by 20% and a number of other things. That is absolutely false, and it's one of those things where you get why people don't trust politics....that was sent out by a PAC or a political action committee, actually two political action committees. And if those political action committees actually believed it then they wouldn't be sending out a flyer against one candidate who is running on council and also contribute to another council member for a different race.”</i></p><p>Ms. Farris went on to state: <i>“I don't think it's fair, I'm not bringing anyone's name into it because it's not about the candidate, it's about these PACs. But I want citizens to know that this is absolutely false, I think it is absolutely unconscionable, to bring this type of rhetoric into an election during the pandemic. And I want to assure the citizens that I have made complaints to the Public Disclosure Commission, and they have opened an enforcement case on each of these PACs. I'm not running for office, so I'm in the clear when it comes to this, I'm just trying to make sure that the truth does matter."</i></p><p>The comments made by Ms. Farris at the August 18th Puyallup City Council meeting did not directly mention a specific candidate or political committee or encourage support or opposition to any candidate, but Ms. Farris did file two complaints against People for Jobs Enterprise Washington, and South Sound Future Enterprise Washington on August 11, 2020. The complaints alleged the political committees made false statements in the independent expenditures or the electioneering communications undertaken in opposition to Julie Door, a candidate for State Senator in the 25th Legislative District. It was apparent those were the political committees and advertisements Ms. Farris was referring when she made her comments during the council meeting, and she acknowledged that her comments were focused on the political committee that had sponsored the advertisements.</p><p>Ms. Farris stated that while she stood by the comments she made at the meeting about the political committee and the mailers, after the meeting <i>“the City Attorney provided guidance on more appropriate ways of correcting the record that do not have the appearance of political speak. I have taken this approach since that time and will continue that approach from now on.”</i></p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance. However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the PDC is issuing a formal written warning to Robin Farris concerning the prohibitions of using City of Puyallup facilities and resources, including making comments during Puyallup city council meeting, to support or oppose any candidate, or any political committee that supports or opposes candidates, either directly or indirectly, in accordance with RCW 42.17A.555. Robin Ferris will be advised that the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action, should there be future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/761920.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Farris Robin Complaint Return Letter with Formal Written Warning (Churchman) PDC Case 76192.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3690/Farris%20Robin%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20with%20Formal%20Written%20Warning%20%28Churchman%29%20PDC%20Case%2076192.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "76192 Farris Robin Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3690/76192%20Farris%20Robin%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "76192 Farris Robin Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3690/76192%20Farris%20Robin%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]10/20/2020 05:15:11 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Mr. Couture paid a $400 total ($200 for late filed C-3 reports and $200 for late C-4 reports) civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), which resolves the issue. </p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-070, PDC staff is dismissing the remaining allegations and reminding Travis Couture about the importance of using a detailed and accurate description for campaign expenditures in the future in accordance with PDC statutes and rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/113168400.000.000.00400.000.00false[{"file_name" : "113168 Initial Hearing Notice (Couture Travis).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5582/113168%20Initial%20Hearing%20Notice%20%28Couture%20Travis%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113168 Initial Hearing Results - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5582/113168%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113168 Couture Travis Statement of Understanding Letter - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5582/113168%20Couture%20Travis%20Statement%20of%20Understanding%20Letter%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "113168 - Travis Couture - SOU.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5582/113168%20-%20Travis%20Couture%20-%20SOU.pdf", "description" : "113168 - Travis Couture - SOU", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "113168 Couture Travis Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5582/113168%20Couture%20Travis%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113168 Couture Travis Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5582/113168%20Couture%20Travis%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "113168 Couture Travis Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113168 Initial Hearing Results - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5582/113168%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}][{"who" : "Couture, Travis", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2023-01-30", "amount" : 400.00, "description" : "Statement of Understanding", "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2022-12-30", "amount" : 400.00, "description" : "PAID - SOU"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]03/09/2023 11:11:16 AMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

Ms. Van Niman filed a Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1) on May 20, 2021. The Treasurer for the campaign was Hank Margeson.</li><li>In 2021, RCW 42.17A.405 limited candidates to receiving $1,000, in contributions from any one individual for each election in which the candidate’s name appears on the ballot. (The limits are subject to periodic review and revision by rule, as required by statute.)</li><li>Only two candidates filed to run for the Redmond City Council, Position 6, 2021 election, so there was no primary election for this race and Tara Van Niman’s name did not appear on the 2021 primary ballot. Accordingly, each candidate was limited to a $1,000 contribution from any single source during the 2021 election.</li><li>Upon reviewing the campaign’s Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports, multiple contributions, totaling $1,500, were received from Sherri Nichols. The contributions exceed the allowed limit of $1,000.</li><li>On August 15, 2023, the campaign responded to the complaint and said, “the contributions were cured to reflect that they were from a married couple, David and Sherri Nichols.” The campaign amended the C-3 reports on September 25, 2023, and report #110029107 now shows a contribution for $500 from Sherri Nichols and a contribution for $500 from David Nichols. Report #110062946 shows a contribution for $250 from Sherri Nichols and a contribution for $250 from David Nichols. With these corrections, individually Sherri Nichols and David Nichols have each donated a total of $750 to the campaign.</li><li>Ms. Van Niman was a first-time candidate for office. The campaign took responsibility and corrected the reporting errors.</li><li>Ms. Van Niman does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our case review, staff has decided that, in this instance, there does not appear to be evidence supporting a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Tara Van Niman will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to accurately file contribution information leading to the appearance of receiving over limit contributions.

A declaration was filed on May 19, 2023, and the original Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) was filed on June 1, 2023, and amended August 2, 2023.</p><p>• Staff reviewed the original filed F-1 and the amended F-1 and determined real estate information, for Ms. Button’s home, was missing from the originally filed report. Once notified of the missing information, Ms. Button indicated she thought she had included the home she owns with her husband in her first report but acknowledged the information was missing. Ms. Button amended the report upon being notified of the issue and included the required property information.</p><p>• The respondent does not have any other warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</p><p>The unreported real estate information on the F-1 appears to have been a mistake, and the issue was remedied timely. Ms. Button said in her response “my goal is to be 100% accurate.”</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to promptly report real estate information on the F-1does not amount to a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Nancy Button will receive a formal written warning concerning her failure to ensure information on the Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) was complete and correct at the time of filing. PDC staff expects in the future Ms. Button will keep her information up to date according to PDC laws and rules. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).<br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1401010.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "140101 Button_Nancy Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6063/140101%20Button_Nancy%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "140101 Button Nancy Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6063/140101%20Button%20Nancy%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "140101 Button_Nancy Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6063/140101%20Button_Nancy%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]09/21/2023 01:55:30 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(EY '19) (Jul `19)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - LocalCandidate C1<p>The PDC received a complaint alleging that Deborah “Sunny” Hemphill (the “Respondent”) may have violated RCW 42.17A.205 & .235 by failing to timely register as a candidate within two weeks of becoming a candidate, and timely report contributions & expenditures on C-3 & C-4 reports.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules and reporting requirements; the responses provided by the Respondent; and the Respondent’s reporting history to determine whether they support a finding of one or more violations. Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>The Respondent is an incumbent candidate for re-election who filed with Elections officials on May 15, 2019 and was therefore required to file a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) with the PDC within two weeks, or no later than May 29, 2019. </p><p>The Respondent filed a C-1 report with the PDC on August 1, 2019, prior to being notified of the complaint, and the report was received 64 days late. On the C-1 report, the Respondent selected the Mini-reporting Option, whereby a candidate’s campaign is not required to file C-3 & C-4 reports with the PDC if they raise & spend no more than $5,000 and receive no more than $500 from any one contributor. </p><p>Noncompliance was the result of a technical error in transmitting the report to the PDC. The Respondent took steps to resolve this good-faith error prior to being notified of the complaint.</p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to timely register as a candidate does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. However, the PDC reminded the Respondent about the importance of timely filing all future PDC reports. The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/557390.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "55739 Hemphill Deborah (Sunny) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3168/55739%20Hemphill%20Deborah%20%28Sunny%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "55739 Hemphill Deborah (Sunny) Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3168/55739%20Hemphill%20Deborah%20%28Sunny%29%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "55739 Hemphill Deborah “Sunny” Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3168/55739%20Hemphill%20Deborah%20%E2%80%9CSunny%E2%80%9D%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]03/24/2021 11:08:28 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The committee ordered political advertising (POLAD) materials on September 5, 2025, and began distributing the materials on September 16, 2025. The materials initially included the PPAA endorsement but after it was rescinded the committee covered the endorsement with a sticker and continued distributing the remaining materials. The committee estimates that approximately 3500 were distributed without the sticker and 2000 with the sticker.

The due dates for these reports are based upon the election cycle, the candidate's election participation, and their financial activity.</p><p>Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.240(7), expenditures are disclosed on C-4 reports, which must include, but are not limited to: 1) the name and address of each person to whom an expenditure was made in the aggregate of more than $750 during the period covered by the report; 2) the amount, date, and purpose of each expenditure; and 3) the total sum of all expenditures. Purpose details should state the goods or services provided by the vendor, including the number of items purchased, identify any candidates or ballot propositions supported or opposed by the expenditure, and the name & address of any sub-vendors used. For advertising expenditures, campaigns should describe the type and number of ads, where they appeared or were broadcast, and when (e.g. run dates).

After consideration of all the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purposes of the Fair Campaign Practices Act. Under WAC 390-37-070, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the Commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted. <br><br>Based on this, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1) and WAC 390-37-060(1)(d). PDC staff reminded the Respondent about the importance of timely reporting and complete reporting, and providing complete sponsor identification on political advertising.

CT Publishing also runs web-based media services. The Silver Agency is an advertising, marketing, and design firm. Chad and Coralee Taylor are the owners of both CT Publishing and The Silver Agency, separate companies. In election years 2022 and 2023, both companies accepted or provided political advertising.</li><li>RCW 42.17A.345 & WAC 390-18-050 require commercial advertisers, who have accepted or provided political advertising, or electioneering communications, to maintain current books of account and related materials, and to make the information available for public inspection. The records must be maintained for five years following the election to which the records pertain. Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.345, the documents and books of account shall specify 1) the names and addresses of persons from whom the commercial advertiser accepted political advertising or electioneering communications; 2) the exact nature and extent of the services rendered; and 3) the total cost and the manner of payment for the services. WAC 390-18-050(6) and (7) further clarify what information the commercial advertiser must maintain. WAC 390-18-050(3) states that commercial advertisers may provide such information to the requester in person during normal business hours or electronically (if requested electronically) by email or online publication.</li><li>In the complaint, the Complainant explains that on January 24, 2024, they sent an email to the newsroom of The Chronicle requesting to inspect the books of account for The Chronicle and Silver Agency. They were notified that the newsroom did not have advertising records and the email was sent to the Advertising Department of The Chronicle. On January 26, 2024, the Complainant was told that an inspection of the books of account could occur during normal business hours Monday through Friday and that an appointment was needed. The Complainant followed that email up with a request for the records in electronic format. On January 29, 2024, they were supplied the electronic records for the books of account for years 2022 and 2023 for The Chronicle and the Silver Agency. On January 30, 2024, the Complainant sent an email identifying that information, as required by RCW and WAC, was missing from the records supplied and they requested the records be updated and resubmitted. When not hearing back about the request for updated records, the Complainant emailed again on February 5, 2024, at which point more materials were supplied. The Complainant followed up and confirmed that the information supplied was all the information that would be forthcoming. On February 13, 2024, they filed a complaint with the PDC seeking help in accessing the remaining missing information and to ensure that CT Publishing, its newspapers, and The Silver Agency moving forward maintain all records and information as required by statute of a political advertiser.</li><li>Dan Brady, responding on behalf of his clients CT Publishing and The Silver Agency, stated, “Once CT Publishing was informed by campaign finance and public disclosure legal counsel of the requirements of RCW 42.17A.345 and WAC 90-18-050, CT publishing began assembling the records requested by Mr. Wheeler. However, the records were not organized or formatted in such a matter manner that would allow immediate and complete disclosure. Instead, CT Publishing and its related companies compiled what data it had and provided it to Mr. Wheeler once the data was located.” On March 14, 2024, PDC staff followed up with the Mr. Brady to figure out if all the required data had been supplied and was told “they believe they have delivered to him everything they have regarding his request.” </li><li>On March 15, 2024, PDC staff found that information was still missing and informed Mr. Brady about the remaining missing information. On March 25, 2024, the Respondent replied, “The Chronicle and The Silver Agency had provided the information requested by Mr. Wheeler that was available at that time. Neither of those entities had ready access to all the information requested prior to that response. In the time since that response, The Chronicle and the Silver Agency have worked to retrieve additional information from their internal files while also reaching out to their political advertising clients to collect any information that was not retained in the normal course of business.” More information was provided, and the Respondent also indicated they were continuing their data collection and intended to supply the remaining requested information by April 1, 2024.</li><li>As of April 16, 2024, CT Publishing and The Silver Agency have supplied all the information they have available. Some Employer Identification Numbers (EIN) are missing because the information was not provided by clients. While WAC 390-18-050 does identify the “federal employer identification number” as information that must be included, the WAC also states “or other verifiable identification, if any, of an entity, so that the public can know who paid for the advertising or communication, without having to locate and identify any affiliated entities.” It is noted that CT Publishing and The Silver Agency have made a good faith effort in obtaining EIN and that in the future if this information is not available, or applicable, for a particular client the WAC does allow for other data collection so as to aid in informing the public about the sponsoring person or persons paying for the advertising or electioneering communication.</li><li>As part of the resolution to this case, PDC staff requested an explanation about how an inspection request for books of account will be handled in the future. Mr. Brady, responding on behalf of his client, stated, “Going forward, these two commercial advertisers will be using ‘Political Ad Sales Checklist’ forms … for any political advertising.” The “form indicates that advertising will not be placed without the form being completely filled out.” “Any member of the public may request access to these completed forms in-person during normal business hours.”</li><li>A records retention and data fulfillment process has been created, specific email accounts to service information requests have been set up, and CT Publishing and The Silver Agency have hired a campaign finance and public disclosure law firm to aid in compliance going forward.</li><li>CT Publishing, its affiliated print and web-based media services, and The Silver Agency do not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, CT Publishing and The Silver Agency’s failure to maintain and collect all required information, as outlined in RCW 42.17A.345 and WAC 390-18-050, so as to provide upon request an inspection of the books of account for political advertising, does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, CT Publishing and The Silver Agency will receive a formal written warning concerning the requirements under RCW 42.17A.345 and WAC 390-18-050. Staff expects CT Publishing and The Silver Agency, moving forward, to comply with all laws, rules and PDC guidance pertaining to the collection and maintenance of all required information as outlined in RCW 42.17A.345 and WAC 390-18-050; and to provide within the statutory timeline inspection of the books of account for political advertising. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1493270.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "149327 CT Pubishing Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6394/149327%20CT%20Pubishing%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "149327 CT Publishing _ The Silver Agency Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6394/149327%20CT%20Publishing%20_%20The%20Silver%20Agency%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "149327 CT Publishing Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6394/149327%20CT%20Publishing%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "149327 CT Publishing Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]10/04/2024 02:31:38 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

506310059211/05/202111/05/202102/02/2022Terri NilesJust Vote No & Cemal RichardsJust Vote No & Cemal Richards: Alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.205, .235 & .240 for failure to register & report as a local ballot measure committee. (EY '21'; Nov '21)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240, RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsPolitical Committee - Single Election<p>A complaint was filed alleging that Cemal Richards violated either: (1) RCW 42.17A.205, .235, and .240 by failing to register and file reports as a local ballot measure committee in opposition to the Clark County Charter Amendments that appeared on the November 2, 2021 general election; or (2) RCW 42.17A.255 by failing to file reports of Independent Expenditure (C-6 report), by making expenditures in opposition to the Clark County Charter Amendments. </p><p>Mr. Richards stated that he created the Just Vote No Facebook page because “there were no opposing arguments in the voters’ pamphlet and I wanted to educate voters on what the cons were if they approved the Charter Amendments.” He stated that he “found out about the signs later on, I had no involvement in funding or creating them.” Concerning the mailers mentioned in the complaint allegation, they were actually fliers, and he did not design them or “provide any funding for them.” <br><br>Mr. Richards stated that he is “a software engineer by trade so I made the website myself and downloaded a free template from https://html5up.net/.” He stated that he “spent no money on the efforts” that he undertook to bring awareness to the Clark County Charter Amendments that appeared on the November 2, 2021 ballot. <br><br>Mr. Richards stated that “Kris Greene did not contact me about the signs, but I saw a post on Facebook from him that mentioned that the fliers were available at his office. I don't know how many signs were produced or posted.” Concerning the fliers, he stated that Mr. Greene “did not contact me about the fliers being available.

However, the Chief's title is not a public facility of Snohomish County Fire Protection District 4. Additionally, staff also found that the Chief's personal Facebook postings, posted by the Chief on his personal Facebook account were done on the Chief's own time, during non-work hours, and were expressions of his personal views, and were not the view(s) of the Snohomish County Fire Protection District 4. Also, Chief Simmons' Facebook postings did not involve the use of any facilities of Snohomish County Fire District 4. </p><p>Regarding the second allegation - use of district email to send messages to subordinates to discourage support for a candidate, staff found that Chief Simmons sent three separate emails, including one Memorandum to staff. Staff's review determined that one of the emails sent by the Chief needed to be worded more carefully and with some degree of restraint.</p><p>Based on the above review/determination, staff recommended to Chief Simmons that in the future he avoid using wording like he used in the last paragraph of the email that needed to be worded carefully and with some degree of restraint, directing staff to "please stay out of the campaign gaming," because it is important to avoid even the appearance or perception that the Chief, while using public facilities, is directing his staff members to not be involved in election campaigns on their own time, using their own resources. </p><p>PDC staff reminded Chief Simmons about the importance of avoiding even the appearance or perception of using agency facilities to support or oppose candidates for public office by encouraging or limiting support or opposition for candidates. </p><p>Based on this information, PDC staff dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/569390.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "56939 Simmons Ron Complaint with Attachments.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3215/56939%20Simmons%20Ron%20Complaint%20with%20Attachments.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "56939 Ron Simmons Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3215/56939%20Ron%20Simmons%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "56939 Simmons Ron Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3215/56939%20Simmons%20Ron%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]11/07/2019 04:09:37 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The complaint alleged that Kelly Chambers, incumbent State Representative in Legislative District 25, Position 1 and candidate for re-election in the 2020 general election, may have violated RCW 42.17A.320 and WAC 390-18-010 for failure to disclose sponsor identification on written political advertisement.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; and the response provided by campaign consultant Alex Hays of AB Hays, LLC, on behalf of Rep. Chambers (“the Respondent”), to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Although Rep. Chambers is not a first-time candidate and her campaign consultant, AB Hays, LLC, has general knowledge of PDC laws and rules regarding written political advertisement and sponsor identification, it appears that the creation and mailing of this specific ad was mistakenly viewed by the campaign as something different than the more traditional type of mailers done in the past. Furthermore, the response to the complaint shows that the campaign is fully aware of the sponsor identification requirements as they used this knowledge in a subsequent mailing.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to include sponsor identification on one piece of political advertisement, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>PDC staff reminded Rep. Chambers about the importance of including the proper and full disclosure of the sponsor on all future written political advertisement in accordance with PDC statutes and rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/741890.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "74189 Chambers Kelly Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3623/74189%20Chambers%20Kelly%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "74189 Chambers Kelly Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3623/74189%20Chambers%20Kelly%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "74189 Chambers Kelly Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3623/74189%20Chambers%20Kelly%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/18/2020 11:28:55 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The complaint alleged that Mary C. Anderson, a candidate for Snohomish County Superior Court in the 2023 election, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Ministerial Treasurer, Jaclynn Simmons of behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Mary C.

It appears that the late reporting of in-kind contributions and expenditures experienced by the 2023 Anderson Campaign was due to unintentional oversight and not purposely omitted to conceal campaign activity from the public. The Respondent has stated a commitment to future compliance.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately file May 2023 and 21-day pre-primary C-4 reports for the 2023 Anderson Campaign disclosing all required campaign activity does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Mary C. Anderson will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely disclose all contribution and expenditures for the 2023 campaign. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Ms. Anderson timely files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures disclosing all campaign activity so it is readily available to the public. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1401680.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "140168 Anderson Mary C Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6065/140168%20Anderson%20Mary%20C%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "140168 Anderson Mary C Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "140168 Anderson Mary C Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6065/140168%20Anderson%20Mary%20C%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "140168 Anderson Mary C Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6065/140168%20Anderson%20Mary%20C%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]10/09/2023 07:32:28 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

It is not a violation of this section for a person or organization referenced in subsection (1)(c) of this section to make a statement about that person or organization because such persons and organizations cannot defame themselves.</p><ul><li>WAC 390-18-040 states:</li></ul><p>Use of the terms "reelect," "retain," and "return."</p><p>(1) The term "reelect" when used in an advertisement represents that the candidate is presently holding the office being sought, was elected to it, and is seeking another term in that same office in the same district or political subdivision.</p><p>(2) The term "reelect" may be used in an advertisement by a nonincumbent candidate who has previously been elected to the office being sought provided that in the same advertisement it is clearly stated that the candidate is not the incumbent.</p><p>(3) The term "retain" in an advertisement represents that the candidate is the incumbent but does not necessarily imply that the candidate attained the office by election.</p><p>(4) The term "return" in an advertisement represents that the candidate now holds, or has previously held, the office being sought, but does not represent that the office was necessarily attained by election.</p><ul><li>City of Sammamish elections for city council positions are “at-large” meaning councilmembers represent the population of the whole city, rather than individual electoral districts.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings, staff has determined the Respondent is seeking reelection to an office within the same political subdivision for which she was previously elected and currently holds. Her break in service might caution against using the term “re-elect,” since her current incumbency is not based on election. However, the rule concerning usage of the term “Reelect” set forth in WAC 390-18-040 is based upon RCW 42.17A.335(1)(b), which prohibits the sponsoring of political advertising that falsely represents a candidate is the incumbent for the office sought when in fact the candidate is not the incumbent. To find a violation of .335, staff must prove the statement constituted libel or defamation and was made with actual malice. However, the Legislature specifically indicated in subsection (3) that it is not a violation for a candidate or their agent to make statements described in subsection (1)(b) about the candidate himself or herself because a person cannot defame himself or herself.</p><p>In this instance the evidence does not support a violation of RCW 42.17A.335 and WAC 390-18-040 for the misuse of the term “re-elect” in campaign advertising.</p><p>The PDC finds that no further action is necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1) and WAC 390-37-060(1)(a).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1405390.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "140539 Stuart_Pamela Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6078/140539%20Stuart_Pamela%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "140539 Stuart Pamela Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6078/140539%20Stuart%20Pamela%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "140539 Stuart_Pamela Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6078/140539%20Stuart_Pamela%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}]08/22/2023 08:28:53 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>The Respondent is a candidate who filed with Elections officials on May 17, 2019 and was therefore required to file a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) and Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) with the PDC within two weeks, or no later than May 31, 2019. </p><p>The Respondent filed a C-1 report and an F-1 report with the PDC on September 4, 2019, which is 96 days late. On the C-1 report, the Respondent selected the Mini-reporting Option, whereby a candidate’s campaign is not required to file C-3 & C-4 reports with the PDC if they raise & spend no more than $5,000 and receive no more than $500 from any one contributor. </p><p>In his response to the complaint, the Respondent indicated noncompliance was due to a family medical emergency. Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to timely register as a candidate and file a statement of financial affairs does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. However, the PDC reminded the Respondent about the importance of timely filing all future PDC reports. The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/552830.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "55283 Moon Ricky Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3138/55283%20Moon%20Ricky%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "55283 Moon Ricky Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3138/55283%20Moon%20Ricky%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "55283 Moon Ricky Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3138/55283%20Moon%20Ricky%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]03/24/2021 10:17:46 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

In that there does not appear to be an existing entity, there is no entity to have register as a political action committee with the PDC nor file applicable reports disclosing contributions and expenditures.</p><p>Vivian Tillman-Cadematori, named in your complaint and identified as the person to contact regarding the allegations, has indicated that she is not aware of an entity by the name of Enumclaw Candidates for Change.</p><p>Per WAC 390-16-105, a candidate or candidates committee is not required to comply with provisions of RCW 42.17A.225 through 42.17A.240, except as otherwise prescribed in WAC 390-16-038, 390-16-115, and 390-16-125, if the committee selects the mini reporting option on its Candidate Registration (C-1) and meets both of the following conditions:</p><ul><li>Does not raise nor expend an amount that exceeds $7,000; and</li><li>Does not accept contributions from any one person, other than the candidate, which exceeds $500 aggregate.</li></ul><p>Candidates and committees choosing mini reporting do not file contribution and expenditure reports, but they must file a registration statement, keep records of their contributions and expenditures, and comply with disclosure requirements. </p><p>Vivian Tillman-Cadematori was a 2023 candidate for a School Director position with the Enumclaw School District 216. Ms. Tillman-Cadematori, filed a Candidate Registration (C-1) on May 19, 2023, under the Mini Reporting Option</p><ul><li>Ms. Tillman-Cadematori has indicated her campaign did not exceed the mini reporting limits. In that the campaign did not exceed the mini reporting limits there is not a requirement to report contributions and expenditures in the Online Reporting of Campaign Activity (ORCA) system.</li><li>A review of the PDC registration for the other candidate’s, identified in the complaint, also showed they were registered under the Mini Reporting option.</li></ul><p>The complaint also included links to private and public Facebook pages alleging the pages were used to influence elections and collect money. The sites included:</p><ul><li>Enumclaw Excellence</li><li>ESD Candidate for Change</li><li>Excellence in Enumclaw Education</li></ul><p>The Enumclaw Excellence page was a public page and the ESD Candidate for Change page and the Excellence in Enumclaw Education page were both private pages. If the person, or collection of individuals, associated with the Facebook pages raised or spent money to influence an election, they would have been required to register as a political committee. There was no evidence the Facebook pages included paid advertisements or provided a fundraising platform in support of the candidates running for Enumclaw School Board.</p><p>The complaint included a picture of a banner with photos of four candidates running for the Enumclaw School Board. The banner identified candidates Jimmy Stewart, Vivian Tillman-Cadematori, Tonya Pettit, and Ben Stouffer. PDC staff questioned Ms. Tillman-Cadematori about the banner and she identified the banner as being 6 ’x 12’ in size and the cost of the banner was $768.09. All four candidates shared in the cost of the banner. The bus, upon which the banner was hung, incurred no cost to the candidates. In this instance, the evidence does not support a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation, but the PDC does remind the candidates that this type of political advertising requires complete sponsor identification per RCW 42.17A.320 and WAC 390-18-010.</p><p>Based on our findings, the evidence does not support a violation of RCW 42.17A.205, .235 or .240 for failure to register as a political action committee or failure to disclose contributions and expenditures.</p><p>The PDC finds that no further action is necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1) and WAC 390-37-060(1)(a).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1441490.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "144149 Enumclaw Candidates for Change Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6268/144149%20Enumclaw%20Candidates%20for%20Change%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "144149 Enumclaw Candidates for Change Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "144149 Enumclaw Cadidate for Change Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6268/144149%20Enumclaw%20Cadidate%20for%20Change%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "144149 Enumclaw Cadidate for Change Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6268/144149%20Enumclaw%20Cadidate%20for%20Change%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}]01/10/2024 03:36:00 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

Mr. Miller won that election and is currently serving as a director on the school board. The term for this office ends November 2023.</li><li>The evidence provided with the complaint was that Pete Miller’s “website is publicly requesting donations and the impression is that he is currently running for re-election.”</li><li>On April 12, 2023, I reviewed Mr. Miller’s website, <a href="http://www.votepetemiller.com">www.votepetemiller.com</a>, and confirmed the presence of a “Donate” button on the home webpage. There were no other indications on the website of a 2023 campaign for office.</li><li>In the response to the complaint, Mr. Miller states “As a part of running for this position I launched the <a href="http://votepetemiller.com/">votepetemiller.com</a> website in June 2019 and it has been sitting idle and unchanged since the 2019 election. Once the campaign concluded, I simply did not take the site down, although I did close the bank account that was associated with my campaign.” Mr. Miller identified June 18, 2019, as the date the donation button became active on the website.</li><li>Following being contacted by the PDC regarding the complaint, Mr. Miller removed the “Donate” button from the website. He also indicates that he “changed the website to only include a picture of myself and a simple statement which reads “Thank you, Tahoma. It is a pleasure to serve as your elected school board member. Please check the Tahoma School District website for updates about our work.” I reviewed the website on April 26, 2023, and confirmed these changes.</li><li>In his response to the complaint, on April 22, 2023, Mr. Miller confirmed there have been no donations received via the website, or any other means, since October 30, 2019. He stated, “I have not solicited any donations nor have I had a conversation or correspondence of any kind about donations for a future campaign.”</li><li>Mr. Miller did confirm he is planning to run for reelection for the same office and on April 25, 2023, he filed a C-1 Candidate Registration for the 2023 election. He filed as Mini Reporting with a campaign start date of May 25, 2023. Mr. Miller also timely filed an F-1 Personal Financial Affairs Statement on February 7, 2023.</li><li>The Respondent does have a previous reminder for failing to include sponsor identification on political advertising arising from the 2019 election.</li></ul><p>It appears the “Donate” button on the website was nonfunctioning and remained on the homepage after the 2019 election as an oversight. Mr. Miller states “I regret the oversight on my part and have taken swift steps to correct the issue and return to full compliance with the RCWs.”</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance no evidence supports a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>PDC staff is reminding Pete Miller, in accordance with RCW 42.17A.005(8), that fundraising tools on a website may be construed as a declaration of candidacy for election to public office. PDC staff expects in the future that Pete Miller will manage his website so as not to inadvertently promote his candidacy for office when he is not seeking election.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1241030.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "124103 Miller_Pete Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5720/124103%20Miller_Pete%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "124103 Miller Pete Complaint Return", "document_type" : "Reminder"}, {"file_name" : "124103 Miller Pete Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5720/124103%20Miller%20Pete%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "124103 Miller Pete Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "124103 Miller_Pete Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5720/124103%20Miller_Pete%20Response.pdf", "description" : "124103 Miller Pete Response", "document_type" : ""}]05/05/2023 10:07:13 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

(Oct '19)WAC 390-16-011, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240, RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205Case Closed with ReminderPolitical Committee - Local Issue<p>The PDC received a complaint alleging that Citizens for Lopez Solid Waste Levy (the “Respondent”) may have violated RCW 42.17A.205(5) and .240(11) by failing to include its sponsor’s name in the registered committee’s name on C-1PC and C-3 reports filed during election years 2016 and 2019. PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules and reporting requirements; and the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent to determine whether they support a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>RCW 42.17A.205(5) and WAC 390-16-011A(1) require a sponsored committee to include the name of its sponsor “in the committee’s name” on the C-1PC (Committee Registration) form it files with the PDC. RCW 42.17A.005(46)(b)(i) defines a “sponsor” to include a source from which a committee receives 80% or more of its contributions. Contributions received in the previous twelve months should be considered to determine whether a contributor meets the definition of a committee sponsor.</p><p>The Respondent reported receiving $1,900 in contributions from Solid Waste Alternative Program (SWAP) during 2016, which represented 100% of the contributions received by the Respondent during the preceding twelve months. The Respondent also reported receiving $3,000 in contributions from SWAP in 2019, which represented 100% of the contributions received by the Respondent during the preceding twelve months.</p><p>SWAP’s name was omitted from the committee name the Respondent reported on its C-1PC reports for election years 2016 and 2019.</p><p>After being notified of the complaint, the Respondent made a good-faith effort to comply by amending its C-1PC reports for election years 2016 and 2019 within five days. On these amended reports, the committee’s name was changed to “Citizens for Lopez Solid Waste Levy sponsored by Solid Waste Alternative(s) Program (SWAP).” </p><p>PDC laws and rules do not require a committee to retroactively amend its C-3 reports to reflect a registered name change.</p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, failure to include the sponsor’s name in the committee’s registered name does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.

Ms. Willis filed a Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1) on April 24, 2023, for the period 4/20/22 – 4/19/23 and she filed a declaration of candidacy on May 15, 2023. The Treasurer for the campaign is Jason Bennet.</li><li>RCW 42.17A.405 limits candidates to receiving $1,200 in contributions from any one individual for each election in which the candidate’s name appears on the ballot. (The limits are subject to periodic review and revision by rule, as required by statute.)</li><li>Only two candidates filed to run for the at-large city council position, in the City of Puyallup 2023 election, so there was no primary election for this race and Shellie Willis’s name did not appear on the 2023 primary ballot. Accordingly, each candidate is limited to a $1,200 contribution from any single source during the 2023 election.</li><li>Upon reviewing the campaign’s Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports, multiple contributions, totaling $1,571.61, were received from Sandra Calvillo. The contributions exceed the allowed limit of $1,200.</li><li>On August 8, 2023, the campaign responded to the complaint and said, “the last two donations from Sandra Calvillo should have been split with her spouse for whom she shares a joint account from which the donation was drawn.” The campaign amended the C-3 reports and reports #110164969 and #110164970 now show each of the $523.87 contributions split between Javier Calvillo and Sandra K. Calvillo. With these corrections, Sandra Calvillo has donated a total of $1,047.75 to the campaign.</li><li>Ms. Willis is a first-time candidate for office. The campaign took responsibility and promptly corrected the reporting errors.</li><li>Ms. Willis does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our case review, staff has decided that, in this instance, there does not appear to be evidence supporting a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Shellie Willis will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to accurately file contribution information leading to the appearance of receiving over limit contributions. Staff expects the campaign to follow filing requirements and to stay within the statutory contribution limits in this and all future campaigns. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1407840.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "140784 Willis_Shellie Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6083/140784%20Willis_Shellie%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "140784 Willis Shellie Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6083/140784%20Willis%20Shellie%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "140784 Willis_Shellie Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6083/140784%20Willis_Shellie%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]09/21/2023 01:38:34 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

On May 15, 2023, Mark Kroese filed a candidate declaration with their applicable election office.</li><li>RCW 42.17A.320 states, “all written political advertising, whether relating to candidates or ballot propositions, shall include the sponsor’s name and address.” The statute exempts yard signs and other forms of political advertising where sponsor identification is impractical. A complete sponsor identification includes either the term “Sponsored by” or “Paid for by” and the sponsor’s name and address, all in the same location, to clearly identify who paid for the advertising.</li><li>Mark Kroese is a first-time candidate for elected office. Mr. Kroese acknowledged that his campaign materials did not include the required sponsor identification. He self-funded his campaign and thought that because he had not taken contributions that “a self-funded campaign did not require sponsor identification.” PDC staff found that there was a campaign website and three direct mailers used in the campaign for Mr. Kroese’s election. </li><li>The Respondent does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, regarding the alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.320, the failure to provide sponsor identification on political advertising does not amount to a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Mark Kroese will receive a formal written warning concerning their failure to provide sponsor identification on political advertising. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Mr. Kroese follow all applicable laws, rules, and guidelines related to political advertising.

(EY'22; Aug'23)WAC 390-16-034, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsCandidate - Local<p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p> Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>On February 13, 2022, James DeHart submitted a Candidate Registration Statement (C-1 report) declaring his candidacy for State Representative for Legislative District 35 in the 2022 election, selecting the “Full Reporting” option and listing Sean Driscoll as Treasurer. </li><li>RCW 42.17A.240 describes the required content of each campaign reports including the name and address of contributors and to whom an expenditure was made, as well as the date, amount and purpose for which an expenditure was made. The statute also says the candidate is responsible for certifying the reported information is correct.</li><li>WAC 390-16-034 states “Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.240, each report required under RCW 42.17A.235, shall disclose, in addition to the name and address of each person who has made one or more contributions in the aggregate amount of more than $250, their occupation, and the name and location (city and state) of their employer.”</li><li>The complaint alleged that there was possible theft of campaign funds because of duplicate reported expenditures for the filing fee. In Mr. DeHart’s response, he says “Yes, there were two filing fees, and both were paid to the Secretary of State because of a clerical error on my part.” PDC staff confirmed with the Washington State Secretary of State that the 2022 Dehart campaign paid the two filing fees. In this instance, the reporting was correct and timely.</li><li>Secondly, the complaint alleged, the campaign did not supply major donor employer information on multiple Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports for the candidate’s contributions made to their own campaign. Once notified, and at the PDC’s request, the campaign did amend reporting records to reflect the candidate’s employer information on the C-3 reports. Previously, the candidate did report their employer information on the Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1). Historically, if an F-1 report is on file for the candidate, the PDC has not required the candidate to report their employer information on the C-3. With transparency being the goal of reporting, there is no added benefit in requiring the candidate to duplicate information across the various reports. In this instance, the reporting was correct and timely.</li><li>The candidate has received two prior warnings related to PDC requirements for RCW 42.17A.240.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings, the evidence in this instance does not support a violation of RCW 42.17A.240 or WAC 390-16-034.</p><p>The PDC finds that no further action is necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1) and WAC 390-37-060(1)(a).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1412210.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141221 DeHart_James Dismissal Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6100/141221%20DeHart_James%20Dismissal%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}, {"file_name" : "141221 DeHart James Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6100/141221%20DeHart%20James%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141221 DeHart_James Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6100/141221%20DeHart_James%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]10/25/2023 01:57:24 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

(Dec '21)RCW 29B.55.030/42.17A.710Case Closed with Written WarningPublic Employee - Local<p>The complaint alleged Zak Idan violated RCW 42.17A.710 by failing to accurately file a financial affairs (F-1) statement, specifically failing to list gifts on the F-1 of reimbursed travel and other expenses for seminars and other education programs attended in the year noted in the complaint. </p><p>On March 15, 2022, Idan provided the PDC with an F-1 supplement for 2018.

The complaint alleged that Dean Hachamovitch may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to report contributions and expenditures for his 2021 campaign for Clyde Hill City Council; and RCW 42.17A.710 by failing to list reportable entities on the F-1 Supplement for his Personal Financial Affairs Statement (Form F-1) covering calendar year 2021, and by failing to report debt on the F-1 report.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations listed in the complaint; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the F-1 report filed by Mr. Hachamovitch for the period January 1, 2021 – December 31, 2021; Mr. Hachamovitch’s Candidate Registration filed on September 5, 2021; and responses to the complaint provided by Mr. Hachamovitch on October 17, 2022, and October 24, 2022, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following: </p><ul><li>On September 5, 2021, Mr. Hachamovitch, timely filed a Candidate Registration declaring his candidacy for election to the City of Clyde Hill Council, selecting the Mini Reporting option, and listing Ronald Souza as President and Treasurer of his campaign. As a Mini Filer, C-3 and C-4 reports are not required.</li><li>On April 13, 2022, Mr. Hachamovitch timely filed a Personal Financial Affairs Statement for the period January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021. </li><li>On October 5, 2022, Mr. Hachamovitch was notified of your complaint and in the week of October 10 – 16, 2022, Mr. Hachamovitch revised his F-1 to accurately disclose reportable ownership and directorship interests in a Limited Liability Company and two tax-advantaged 529 Plans.</li><li>In his response to the complaint about the nondisclosure of these reportable entities, Mr. Hachamovitch explained that he “formed ‘Dean Hachamovitch LLC’ several years ago for potential use in relation to my consulting work, but have never actually used if for anything. As it has been inactive and unused, I simply did not think of reporting it on the F-1.” “I will be sure to include it in my future F-1 filings.” As well, Mr. Hachamovitch also explained, “I recently contacted my financial advisor to confirm I was not missing anything else. My advisor identified two 529 Plan accounts I created for the benefit of my niece and nephew. I apologize for this omission and have also included these accounts in my amended F-1.”</li><li>In his response to the alleged nondisclosure of debt, Mr. Hachamovitch stated, “In relation to a land use decision, I previously pursued an administrative appeal against the City of Clyde Hill, which concluded in 2021. After the appeal was resolved, the City Attorney at the time sought to charge me attorney fees in addition to the City’s customary fees and costs. I paid to the City all the customary fees and costs I owed for the appeal, but I disagreed that I owed any attorney fees. My attorney sent a letter disputing that portion of the demand as unlawful. Subsequently, both the interim City attorney and new City Attorney agreed, and the new City Attorney rescinded the demand.” </li></ul><p>While staff found Mr. Hachamovitch’s F-1 report included deficiencies, he fully cooperated with PDC staff during its review and took responsibility for the deficiencies by amending the F-1 report to include reportable entities. However, Mr. Hachamovitch did not include the disputed debt on an amended F-1 report.</p><p>Based on these findings, staff has determined that in this instance, the failure to include all reportable information on Mr. Hachamovitch’s F-1 Report covering 2021 activity does not amount to a finding of a violation warranting further investigation. When the complaint was received, staff informed you that C-3 and C-4 reports of contributions and expenditures are not required for filers under the Mini Reporting Option. Mr. Hachamovitch was a Mini filer, not required to file C-3 and C-4 reports.</p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Mr. Hachamovitch will receive a formal written warning concerning his failure to timely and accurately disclose reportable ownership and directorship interests in a Limited Liability Company and two tax-advantaged 529 Plans and for his failure to disclose disputed debt that had not been formally dismissed, on his Personal Financial Affairs Statement for 2021 activity. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Mr. Hachamovitch include all reportable entities and debt on future F-1 reports. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1128960.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "112896 Hachamovitch Dean Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5569/112896%20Hachamovitch%20Dean%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "112896 Hachamovitch Dean Response #2.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5569/112896%20Hachamovitch%20Dean%20Response%20%232.pdf", "description" : "112896 Hachamovitch Dean Response #2", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "112896 Hachamovitch Dean Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5569/112896%20Hachamovitch%20Dean%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "112896 Hachamovitch Dean Complaint Return (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5569/112896%20Hachamovitch%20Dean%20Complaint%20Return%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "112896 Hachamovitch Dean Complaint Return", "document_type" : "Warning"}]11/29/2022 12:16:33 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

In addition, it was also alleged that the WCRP exceeded the Non-Exempt funds contribution limits for two contributors during CY 2021.</p><p>The WCRP is a Bona Fide County Political Party Committee that has been registered and reporting with the PDC dating back to at least the early 1990’s. On January 9, 2021, the Committee file a Registration as a Bona Fide County Party Committee for its Non-Exempt Account, selecting the Full Reporting Option, and listing John Ramsey as Chairman, Ashley Butenschoen as Vice-Chair, Russell Dzialo as Treasurer, and Heidi Shires as Secretary.</p><p>On December 17, 2021, the PDC conducted an Initial Hearing (Case Review Status) and opened a formal investigation against the WCRP. </p><p>RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 require Bona Fide Political Party Committees under the Full Reporting option to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports disclosing contribution and expenditure activities undertaken during calendar years 2020 and 2021. </p><p><strong>Whatcom County Republican Party: 2020 Committee Activities</strong></p><p>The WCRP failed to accurately disclose contribution and expenditure activities for calendar year 2020, which resulted in a $14,381.76 discrepancy, since the WCRP's 2020 ending cash on hand balance was listed as $4,039.10 on the December 2020 C-4 report, but the 2021 beginning balance on January 1, 2021, totaled $18,420.86 as disclosed on the January 2021 C-4 report.</p><p>On October 18, 2021, Russell Dzialo, Treasurer for the Whatcom County Republican Party (WCRP) sent an email responding to the allegations listed in the complaint stating that he took “responsibility for the accuracy and any errors that may have occurred” in filing the required C-3 and C-4 reports. He stated he served as a volunteer party committee Treasurer for the WCRP without pay, and that any mistakes or errors for the reports he filed on behalf of the WCRP were “attributed to simply being overly busy and distracted.” </p><p>Mr. Dzialo stated that the WCRP had a technological issue in which they found they could not recover their Online Reporting of Campaign Activity (ORCA) campaign finance software dataset for calendar year 2020. He stated the WCRP had to manually re-enter the 2020 contribution and expenditure activities for the whole year.</p><p>The WCRP engaged the services of Bruce Ayers to review the committee’s books of account, re-enter the contribution and expenditure activities, and reconcile the totals with the committee bank statements. Mr. Ayers and the WCRP’s reconciliation work, which was confirmed by PDC Staff’s review, indicated that a portion of the $14,381.76 discrepancy in the December 31, 2020, ending committee balance was attributed to two duplicated expenditures that were disclosed on the initial 2020 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report. </p><p>The 2020 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report was timely filed by the WCRP on October 26, 2020 and disclosed the following duplicated expenditures: (1) A $8,024.80 expenditure made on October 23, 2020, to Lithex NW Printing from Bellingham, WA for “Mailers plus postage”; and (2) A $2,853.38 expenditure made on October 13, 2020, to Lithex NW Printing from Bellingham, WA for “525-yard signs.”</p><p>Mr. Ayers and the WCRP’s reconciliation work, and PDC Staff’s review, confirmed that the $14,381.76 discrepancy also included contribution and expenditure activities that were not timely disclosed on either C-3 or C-4 reports during calendar year 2020. Those contribution and expenditure activities included a $500 expenditure made on October 14, 2020, to The Fourth Corner in Bellingham, WA for “Digital Ad in Fourth Corner Web Site not reported in 2020”, and numerous unreported small contributions and proceeds from low-cost fundraiser sales of merchandise during 2020. In addition, the WCRP filed numerous initial C-3 and amended C-3 reports as part of calendar year 2020’s reconciliation work disclosing additional contributions that had been received totaling slightly more than $3,000. </p><p>On January 31, 2023, PDC staff received a signed Statement of Understanding (SOU) completed by officers of the WCRP, acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to timely and accurately disclose contribution and expenditure activities undertaken by the Whatcom County Republican Party during calendar year 2020, along with a check for $450 for penalty assessed in the matter. The signed SOU and $450 penalty payment resolves the allegations concerning the violations for failing to timely and accurately disclose contribution and expenditure activities. </p><p><strong>Whatcom County Republican Party: 2021 Committee Activities</strong></p><p>Mr. Dzialo stated that the 2021 complaint allegations (allegation #2 through #5) “were all caused by a bug in the ORCA software that I found when entering the auction reports following our 2021 Lincoln Day Dinner fundraiser. These errors were reported to the PDC and since the duplicate reports did not show up in my ORCA portal the PDC had to delete them for me.” He stated that the WCRP auction proceeds allegation in the complaint included an ORCA issue in which all the contributors who purchased auction items to the “silent auction had their contributions multiplied by a factor of six.” </p><p>Mr. Dzialo stated that he contacted PDC staff concerning this matter on May 24, 2021, that it was resolved on June 3, 2021 when PDC staff confirmed that the duplicate reports had been deleted, and he “attached copies of the email correspondence with the PDC for the record.” The email string between Mr. Dzialo and PDC staff was from May 24 through June 3, 2021, concerning numerous WCRP C-3 reports for contributions received on April 10, 2021. The WCRP filed the C-3 reports on April 13, 2021, as auction receipts that were part of the proceeds from the Lincoln Day WCRP Dinner/fundraiser. On June 3, 2021, PDC staff emailed Mr. Dzialo concerning the duplicated C-3 reports and stated the following:</p><p><i><strong>“The extra C3 reports with auction reports for the Whatcom County Republican Party have been deleted from the Public Disclosure Commission's database. The contribution total for 2021 and the aggregate contributions for individual donors should now show correctly. Our IT department is now aware of the technical problems that you had submitting a long auction report--thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.”</strong></i></p><p>Once PDC staff deleted the duplicate C-3 reports, the WCRP refiled amended C-3 and C-4 reports disclosing party committee contribution and expenditure activities that were undertaken during calendar year 2021. No evidence was found that the WCRP failed to timely disclose any contribution and expenditure activities that were undertaken during the calendar year. </p><p><strong>WCRP exceeding Non-Exempt account contribution limits in CY 2021</strong></p><p>The complaint included allegations that the WCRP exceeded the Non-Exempt funds contribution limits as of May 7, 2021, for calendar year 2021 concerning contributions received from Pacific Growers, alleged to have totaled $6,990, and Asset Advisors, alleged to have totaled $5,775. As noted above, the WCRP had some ORCA technological reporting issues in 2021, especially concerning the proceeds received from the Lincoln Day Dinner.</p><p>Mr. Dzialo, former Treasurer stated: “These errors were reported to the PDC and since the duplicate reports did not show up in my ORCA portal the PDC had to delete them for me.” He stated the WCRP auction proceeds from the Lincoln Day Dinner were duplicated as the result of an ORCA technological “issue in which all of the contributors who purchased auction items to the silent auction had their contributions multiplied by a factor of six.” PDC Staff reviewed the C-3 reports that were re-filed by the WCRP after the duplicated C-3 reports had been deleted. Staff’s review found the following: (1) Pacific Growers out of Blaine made a total of 20 contributions totaling $3,570 during calendar year 2021. The $3,570 in total contributions received from Pacific Growers during calendar year 2021 included 19 contributions of $30 all made on April 10, 2021, and a $3,000 monetary contribution made on March 19, 2021; and (2) Asset Advisors made a total of five monetary contributions totaling $265, which were all made on April 10, 2021, and included two $95 monetary contributions and three $25 monetary contributions. </p><p>Once the initial duplicate C-3 reports filed by the WCRP were deleted and the corrected C-3 reports were re-filed, contributions received by the WCRP Non-Exempt Funds account from Pacific Growers and Asset Advisors did not exceed the $5,500 threshold during calendar year 2021.</p><p> Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of further violations that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any enforcement action in this instance. As noted above, PDC staff received a signed Statement of Understanding (SOU) completed by officers of the Whatcom County Republican Party, acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to timely and accurately disclose contribution and expenditure activities undertaken during calendar year 2020, and paid a $450 civil penalty that was assessed in the matter to resolve this allegation. </p><p>Concerning the remaining allegations, PDC staff: (1) found no evidence that contribution limits were exceeded by the Whatcom County Republican Party Non-Exempt Funds account during calendar year 2021 in violation of RCW 42.17A.405; and (2) found that the duplicate C-3 reports filed in 2021 by the Whatcom County Republican Party Non-Exempt Funds account were due to an ORCA technological issue they experienced, which required C-3 and C-4 reports to be deleted by PDC staff and refiled by the party, and did not rise to the level of a minor violation. </p><p>The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/99265450.000.000.00450.000.00false[{"file_name" : "SOU - 99265 - Whatcom County Republican Party.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4987/SOU%20-%2099265%20-%20Whatcom%20County%20Republican%20Party.pdf", "description" : "SOU - 99265 - Whatcom County Republican Party", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "PDC Case 99265 Initial Hearing Results Respondent Whatcom County Republican Party.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4987/PDC%20Case%2099265%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20Respondent%20Whatcom%20County%20Republican%20Party.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "99265 Whatcom County Republican Party Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4987/99265%20Whatcom%20County%20Republican%20Party%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "PDC Case 99265 Whatcom County Republican Party response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4987/PDC%20Case%2099265%20Whatcom%20County%20Republican%20Party%20response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Whatcom County Republican Party Complaint Return Letter with SOU (PDC Case 99265).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4987/Whatcom%20County%20Republican%20Party%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20with%20SOU%20%28PDC%20Case%2099265%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}][{"who" : "Whatcom County Republican Party", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2023-02-28", "amount" : 450.00, "description" : "Statement of Understanding", "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2023-01-26", "amount" : 450.00, "description" : "PAID - SOU"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]02/08/2023 01:56:18 PMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

Mr. Orange was elected Port Commissioner for the Port of Vancouver in the 2017 election cycle as a first-time candidate.</p><p>On June 3, 2023, the Campaign timely filed a Summary Full Campaign Contributions and Expenditures report (C-4 report) covering the period May 1 through 31, 2023, disclosing that a $1,249 expenditure was made to the CCDP on May 16, 2023, to purchase a “table for Democrat’s annual Ogden Dinner for campaign volunteers.” </p><p>Ms. McLain stated that the Campaign acknowledged purchasing a table at the annual CCDP dinner for $1,249, and that the Val Ogden dinner provided the candidate “a great opportunity … to get his name out there.” She stated Mr. Orange is seeking re-election to Vancouver Port Commissioner, which is a non-partisan race, but “his values are more in line with the Democratic party, and he wanted this chance to campaign with a group who would naturally support him in his race.”</p><p>Ms. McLain stated Mr. Orange used the CCDP dinner “as an opportunity to give something to the volunteers who work on his campaign, and the tickets were purchased as a thank you to these people.” CCDP acknowledged that the event table sponsors for the Ogden dinner, including Don Orange, were named as a “table sponsor” and that he was allowed to bring Campaign yard signs and contribution remittance envelopes to display to attendees on side tables. Ms. McLain stated the CCDP do not “share their email lists or provide any table sponsors access to their social media accounts.” </p><p>Ms. McLain further stated that the costs for the Val Ogden dinner are calculated against income from the past year’s dinner to determine what the price for the tickets would be for the next year. For the 2023 Val Ogden dinner, the CCDP estimated the cost to be $125 per person or $1,250 for a table of ten, and the estimate “would cover the cost of a reserved seat, the dinner, dessert and wine.” She stated that “the actual income made on each ticket this year was $11.26 (from each ticket) or $112.63 per table (of 10).” </p><p>On October 4, 2023, the Campaign filed a Monetary Contributions report (C-3 report) disclosing that on October 2, 2023, the Campaign received a $112.63 miscellaneous receipt from the CCDP, which was deposited into the Campaign bank account on October 4, 2023. The C-3 report filed by the Campaign included the following description for the miscellaneous receipt refund: “a refund for the amount paid for a table (10 seats) to the Clark County Democrats’ annual Ogden dinner. $112.63 ended up being the party's profit on the table and considered an unallowed campaign donation to the party so it was refunded.” In addition, Ms. McLain sent an email confirming the information listed above.</p><p>PDC staff did not find evidence of violations that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing further enforcement action in this instance.</p><p>In accordance with WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), PDC staff is issuing a formal written warning to the 2023 Don Orange Campaign concerning the requirement that no active Campaign funds can be used to make an expenditure to a political party committee, or any other political committee, that results in a contribution being made, or a profit being generated for an event. The Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws and rules.</p><p>PDC staff is dismissing this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1412200.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Don Orange Complaint Return Warning Ltr (PDC Case 141220).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6099/Don%20Orange%20Complaint%20Return%20Warning%20Ltr%20%28PDC%20Case%20141220%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "141220 Orange Don Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6099/141220%20Orange%20Don%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "2023 Don Orange Campaign Response to Complaint (Morgan) PDC Case 141220.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6099/2023%20Don%20Orange%20Campaign%20Response%20to%20Complaint%20%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20Case%20141220.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]10/30/2023 09:43:08 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaint alleged that Kent School District Officials (the District) may have violated RCW 42.17A.555 for misuse of public facilities by supporting a levy through a mailer.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules; <i>PDC Interpretation No. 01-03</i>; and the response provided by Interim Superintendent Israel Vela on behalf of the Respondent, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the inclusion of non-factual commentary in the District’s mailed brochure regarding the February 8, 2022 levy was due to a general lack of knowledge of what is and is not appropriate in accordance with RCW 42.17A.555 and <i>PDC Interpretation No. 01-03.</i> Staff found no evidence that Interim Superintendent Vela or other officials of the Kent School District intended directly to solicit support for the levy.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, inclusion of non-factual language in a mailer regarding the February 8, 2022, levy does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Kent School District Officials will receive a formal written warning concerning the inclusion of non-factual language in a mailed brochure regarding a levy.

(JUL'23)RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningPolitical Committee - Education<p>Three complaints were filed against the North Thurston Citizens for Schools PAC alleging violations of: (1) RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to timely and accurately file contribution and expenditure reports for committee activities that occurred between 2018 to present; and (2) RCW 42.17A.240 for failure to properly and accurately file Schedule B to C-4 reports for December of 2018 and 2019, disclosing a number of in-kind contributions received for the 2018 and 2019 annual Penny Auction fundraiser.</p><p> On March 17, 2016, the North Thurston Citizens for Schools PAC (Committee) filed a Committee Registration with the PDC declaring support for a 2020 North Thurston School District levy/bond election for a date to be determined, selecting the Full Reporting option, and listing Judy Wilson, as Treasurer, Ruth Weigelt, as Committee Manager, and Cynthia Coble, as Committee Secretary. </p><p>On November 18, 2020, and again on April 3, 2023, the Committee filed Committee Registrations with the PDC declaring support for a November 2024, North Thurston School District levy/bond election, selecting the Full Reporting option, and listing Judy Wilson, as Treasurer, Ruth Weigelt, as Committee Chair, and Cynthia Coble, as Secretary. </p><p>On August 16, 2023, Ms. Wilson submitted a response to the first two complaints stating the allegations concerning the Committee’s in-kind contribution details for the 2018 and 2019 annual fundraiser. She stated that in between the school district levy/bond election every four years, the Committee conducts two fundraising events every year, the Penny Auction in December, and a Golf Tournament in May. She stated that the proceeds from the two events are deposited into the Committee bank account, and since the Committee does not have many expenditures except for when the election is held, no additional funds are necessary.</p><p>Ms. Wilson stated that the fundraiser is called a “Penny Auction” because the items are not actually auctioned off; they are won by a “drawing” where the attendees purchase tickets from the Committee and the tickets are placed “in bags next to the items they hope to win.” She stated the “Penny Auction” items are donated by North Thurston School District teachers, administrators, staff, or volunteers from the various schools in the district. She noted that the complainant raised two issues concerning the fundraiser that included: (1) the actual contributors for the 2018 and 2019 Penny Auction items were not named individually; and (2) the addresses listed on the 2018 and 2019 Schedule B to C-4 reports disclosing the in-kind contributors were for the North Thurston School that the contributors were employed at or aligned with. </p><p>Ms. Wilson stated the use of the North Thurston “school’s address is my mistake” and added that the C-4 form requires an address for each contributor and “since the individual person or persons was not available to me, I inadvertently used the address of the school they were from.” Noting that the complaint alleged the in-kind contributions came from the use of North Thurston School District funds, Ms. Wilson stated that while the Committee did not have a list of the 2018 individuals who donated items to the raffle, she confirmed “the items did not come from district/school funds.” </p><p>Ms. Wilson stated that while she was reviewing the donation slips that the Committee had been using for the Penny Auction, she noticed that the donation slips needed “to be updated to request the actual donors and their addresses.” She stated that this will be done before the next Penny Auction which will be held in December of 2023. She stated that she is on her third computer for the Committee Treasury work, just since 2018.</p><p>Ms. Wilson stated that PDC staff had requested that the Committee attempt to determine who the actual donors were for the 2018 and 2019 Penny Auctions. She stated that she did not find the 2018 Penny Auction donor slips, but that she had located the 2019 donor slips, although unfortunately the 2019 donor slips did not have names associated with it, but it did have the contributors’ email addresses. She stated that she went through the “tedious process” of identifying and in some instances contacting the individuals by email to determine their complete name and/or addresses. She noted that took quite a bit of her time to obtain most of the 2019 contributor information and added she hopes “to resolve this issue and improve our process so it does not occur in the future.”</p><p>PDC staff’s review of the 2019 Penny Auction spreadsheet that was re-created by Ms. Wilson and submitted by the Committee, which indicated that Ms. Wilson was able to identity 43 individuals or organizations and their corresponding addresses out of the 56 total in-kind contributors received in 2019. Ms. Wilson was not able to identify the 2018 in-kind contributors since she could not find the donor slips.</p><p>Ms. Wilson stated that there was no attempt made by her or the Committee to hide any individual donors or their corresponding addresses on the 2018 and 2019 Penny Auction reports, and that the Committee simply made a mistake by not retaining the 2018 donor slips or catching the mistakes listed on the 2019 donor slips. </p><p>Concerning the late filing of the Committee’s C-3 and C-4 reports listed in the third complaint from Mr. Morgan, Ms. Wilson stated that she was surprised when she saw the allegations of the late filed reports. She stated that there were several of the alleged late filed C-3 reports which were only for bank interest, which she added she was under the impression were not reportable.</p><p>Ms. Wilson stated that for many months of the year, bank interest is the Committee’s only activity, and that she would frequently file C-3 and C-4 reports “every 4‐6 months in those instances.” She stated that the committee does not have much activity except for every four years when there is a levy or bond election on the ballot, and there was no intention by the Committee to “hide donors or the amounts of their donations” or their addresses for the Penny Auction reports in 2018 and 2019.</p><p>Ms. Wilson stated that since these allegations were brought to her attention, she will pay much more attention to the reporting requirements for the Penny Auction donors and the reporting dates. She added that she confessed that “adjusting to the changes in technology is not my strong suit” and that she is “still adjusting to the recent changes.”</p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing further enforcement action in this instance. </p><p>The Committee acknowledged being on their third computer since 2018, and that they failed to properly maintain adequate records concerning the 2018 Penny Auction donor slips and ORCA back-up and having to reconcile the 2019 donor slips with the email addresses to determine the contributor’s names. Those issues are mitigated by the facts the in-kind contributions were for the 2020 levy/bond election, the next levy/bond election is in 2024, and it does not appear the Committee conducted the Penny Auction for calendar years 2021 and 2022. </p><p>In accordance with WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), PDC staff is issuing a formal written warning to the North Thurston Citizens for Schools PAC concerning the requirement to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports in the future. This warning includes the requirement for the Committee to properly enter the contribution and expenditure information into the ORCA program for all future activities, especially for the contributor names and addresses for the in-kind contributions received for the Penny Auction, should they decide to conduct one in the future, and to properly maintain the Committee books of accounts. The Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws and rules. </p><p>PDC staff is dismissing this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1404330.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "NTCS PAC 2nd Supplemental response (Morgan) PDC Case 140433.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6071/NTCS%20PAC%202nd%20Supplemental%20response%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20Case%20140433.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "140433 North Thurston Citizens for Schools PAC Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6071/140433%20North%20Thurston%20Citizens%20for%20Schools%20PAC%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "140433 North Thurston Citizens for Schools PAC Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "North Thurston Cit for Schools PAC Response to complaints (PDC Case 140433).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6071/North%20Thurston%20Cit%20for%20Schools%20PAC%20Response%20to%20complaints%20%28PDC%20Case%20140433%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "140433 North Thurston Citizens for Schools PAC Supplemental Complaint 2.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6071/140433%20North%20Thurston%20Citizens%20for%20Schools%20PAC%20Supplemental%20Complaint%202.pdf", "description" : "140433 North Thurston Citizens for Schools PAC Supplemental Complaint 2", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "North Thurston Cit for Schools PAC Supplemental response (PDC Case 140433).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6071/North%20Thurston%20Cit%20for%20Schools%20PAC%20Supplemental%20response%20%28PDC%20Case%20140433%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "NTCFS PAC Complaint Return Letter (Morgan) PDC Case 140433.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6071/NTCFS%20PAC%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20Case%20140433.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "North Thurston Cit for Schools PAC (Dec 2018 C-4 report).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6071/North%20Thurston%20Cit%20for%20Schools%20PAC%20%28Dec%202018%20C-4%20report%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "140433 North Thurston Citizens for Schools PAC Supplemental Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6071/140433%20North%20Thurston%20Citizens%20for%20Schools%20PAC%20Supplemental%20%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "140433 North Thurston Citizens for Schools PAC Supplemental Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]10/11/2023 02:08:34 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaint alleged that Safe Schools Safe Communities, a continuing political action committee registered with the PDC during calendar year 2019, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 & .240: (1) for failure to accurately identify occupation & employer information for individual contributors; (2) for failure to accurately disclose campaign debt; and (3) for failure to disclose in-kind contributions on Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports).</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and supporting documentation; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Ministerial Treasurer, Jay Petterson, on behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that although SSSC did fail to include the required occupation and employer information for a small number of individual donors giving more than $100 in the aggregate, the committee made reasonable attempts to obtain this information. All eight of the contributions were received more than five years ago rendering them outside of the statute of limitations for enforcement action.</p><p>During its investigation, staff noted that most of the debts still owed on the June 2019 C-4 report were now beyond the statute of limitation, but there were five that were not. Of those five, staff found that the descriptions were lacking in detail in some instances, specifically the November 1 and 30, 2018, entries for vendor Alliance for Gun Responsibility with the description “expense reimbursement” without identifying any information about the original expense. Although the description is deficient, due to the amount of time passed since this activity, the limitations of ORCA as previously described and the nominal impact on the public today, staff did not request SSSC to amend these entries as part of the resolution of this matter. </p><p>Staff found no evidence that the $246,429.29 in reported debt was required to be reallocated as in-kind contributions solely based on the amount of time the debt has been outstanding. In regard to the lack of the detailed disclosure of debt and in-kind contributions as recommended on the PDC website, staff recognizes that this is guidance meant to foster transparency and not strictly required by law. Regarding allegations one and three, staff found no evidence that the omissions of occupation and employer information and the lack of detailed description for vendors were done intentionally to mislead the public.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to accurately disclose descriptions for vendor debts in a few instances, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Safe Schools Safe Communities will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to disclose detailed descriptions for vendor debts. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that SSSC timely and accurately files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed all allegations in this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1411080.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141108 Safe Schools Safe Communities PAC Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6090/141108%20Safe%20Schools%20Safe%20Communities%20PAC%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141108 Safe Schools Safe Communities PAC Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6090/141108%20Safe%20Schools%20Safe%20Communities%20PAC%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141108 Safe Schools Safe Communities Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6090/141108%20Safe%20Schools%20Safe%20Communities%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]10/30/2023 10:05:56 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.
623914317209/26/202309/26/202312/26/2023John HopkinsCity of PuyallupCity of Puyallup Officials: Alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.555 for use of public resources or facilities to support or oppose a ballot measure. (OCT'23, EY'23)RCW 29B.45.010/42.17A.555Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsPublic Agency - Local<p>On September 26, 2023, the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) received a complaint alleging that City of Puyallup officials, may have violated RCW 42.17A.555 by using public facilities/resources to promote a ballot proposition. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations listed in the complaint to determine whether a formal investigation or enforcement action is warranted. Staff reviewed the attachment(s) submitted with the complaint, the relevant statute and rules; PDC Interpretation 04-02 “Guidelines for Local Government Agencies in Election Campaigns;” the October 13, 2023, response received from Steve Kirkelie, City Manager, on behalf of City of Puyallup Officials; and all other relevant information. </p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><p>The City of Puyallup issued a bond measure to fund a new public safety building. The proposition, which added a $56 million bond for the construction of a police station and jail, appeared in the November 2023 ballot. It failed to pass. </p><p>RCW 42.17A.555 prohibits public officials and agencies from using or authorizing the use of facilities, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of promoting or opposing candidates or ballot propositions/measures. This prohibition does not apply to activities that are part of the normal and regular conduct of the public/local agency, as defined in WAC 390-05-273. </p><p>The complaint alleged that the City of Puyallup Officials included inaccurate information that was not objective on the bond fact sheet. Specifically, you noted in your email follow up as part of subsequent correspondence regarding your complaint that “The mailer was sent out approximately a month ago. It is part of a blitz of support by council and the city manager. It is not objective. The most misleading statement is that the building is over 55 years old. Actually it was completely gutted down to the blocks and all systems replaced 30 years ago…. The damage is that the public has net [sic] been presented with options and alternatives.”</p><p>You also submitted a supplemental complaint on October 5, 2023, and attached a City of Puyallup newsletter – Blue and You.</p><p>In its response, the City of Puyallup, by way of City Manager Steve Kirkelie, stated: “The print piece you received from the complainant was created and distributed by the City to residents per RCW 42.17A.555 and is, in our opinion, a fair and objective presentation of the facts surrounding the new Public Safety Building project. This project is very complex, with many operational challenges that the public has a right to know. It is important that all the information be presented to voters in a digestive manner. City staff spent many hours reviewing this mailer’s text, visuals, and content to ensure compliance and to ensure that voters were educated about the project. And this was not the first-time residents have received information about the project. The Public Safety Building project has been brought to voters twice before, in February 2022 and November 2021. In both cases, an informational mailer was sent to voters about the project. This fulfills the normal and regular conduct clause outlined in your guidelines.”</p><p>Regarding the supplemental complaint, Mr. Kirkelie noted in his response on behalf of the City of Puyallup, that… “The second attachment the complainant included is a copy of our “Blue and You” Newsletter that the Puyallup Police Department distributes. This is the Puyallup Police Department’s regular newsletter, which goes out every quarter to a list of contacts that have signed up to receive notification from the Department. As such, this newsletter is a regular publication sent out as normal and customary conduct of the city.”</p><p>City Manager Kirkelie, in response to PDC staff questions, explained that the public safety building had some internal work done in the early 1990s, but the construction was not so extensive as to qualify as a demolishment and total rebuild.</p><p>Staff noted that the fact sheet was presented to voters in a manner that was fair and objective, providing both the reasons why the city pursued the project and the potential costs. Additionally, the quarterly “Blue and You” Newsletter is a normal and regular publication by the City. PDC Interpretation 04-02 “Guidelines for Local Government Agencies in Election Campaigns states that “(a)gencies may include all or part of the information regarding agency needs and the anticipated impacts of a ballot measure in the agency's regular publications, such as agency and department newsletters.”</p><p>Accordingly, the PDC staff found that no further action was required in this matter and dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1)(a).</p><p> </p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1431720.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "143172 City of Puyallup Disposition Letter....pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6239/143172%20City%20of%20Puyallup%20Disposition%20Letter....pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}, {"file_name" : "143172 City of Puyallup Officials Complaint Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6239/143172%20City%20%20of%20Puyallup%20Officials%20Complaint%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "143172 City of Puyallup Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6239/143172%20City%20of%20Puyallup%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "143172 City of Puyallup Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "143172 City of Puyallup Supplemental Complaint Information.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6239/143172%20City%20of%20Puyallup%20Supplemental%20Complaint%20Information.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]07/22/2024 10:04:55 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

In addition, it requires committees to maintain books of accounts and records to verify the campaign activities.</li><li>RCW 42.17A.240 describes the required content of each campaign report.</li><li>WAC 390-16-105 states, in part , that a candidate committee is not required to comply with the provisions of RCW 42.17A.225 through 42.17A.240, except as otherwise prescribed, if the committee selects the mini reporting option on its registration and neither aggregate contributions nor aggregate expenditures exceed the amount of the candidate’s filing fee plus a sum not to exceed $7000 and does not receive more than $500 in contributions from any one donor. The candidate may donate more than $500 to his or her own election campaign if they don’t exceed the $7000 limit.</li><li>On August 15 and September 1, 2023, Ms. Jepperson filed several C-4, and a C-3 reports showing contributions received and expenditures occurring in May, June, July, and August of 2023. The complaint alleged that the 2023 Jepperson Campaign did not provide required information about expenditures and that reports for contributions and expenditures were filed late.</li><li>In their response to the complaint, Ms. Jepperson stated “I believe as a mini-filer I do not need to even submit or file because my total donations and total spent is so low. I only entered them to try and be transparent as possible with the public.” </li><li>After finding that the 2023 Jepperson Campaign had filed incomplete C-3 and C-4 reports, albeit not required for committees registered under the “Mini Reporting” option, staff requested the Campaign correct their reporting as part of the resolution to the complaint. Ms. Jepperson worked with PDC filer assistance staff to amend the reported information.</li><li>The Respondent does not have other warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>The 2023 Jepperson Campaign appears to have remained under the mini reporting thresholds as required by statute. Ms. Jepperson is her own treasurer which likely contributed to their lack of knowledge about reporting and disclosure requirements. Staff found no evidence that the Campaign filed incomplete reports to purposely confuse or conceal information from the public.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>PDC staff did remind Ms. Jepperson about the importance of following filing requirements per the filing option chosen when registering their campaign committee with the PDC. Staff expects, in the future, that Ms. Jepperson will timely and accurately file all required reports of contributions and expenditures if the campaign registers under the “Full Reporting” option. If the campaign registers under the “Mini Reporting” option and chooses to file reports, there is still an obligation to file those reports accurately. As well, regardless of the reporting option registered under, it is the candidate’s responsibility to maintain books of account for all campaign activity.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1428370.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "142837 Jepperson_Christina Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6230/142837%20Jepperson_Christina%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "142837 Jepperson_Christina Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6230/142837%20Jepperson_Christina%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Reminder"}, {"file_name" : "142837 Jepperson Christina Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6230/142837%20Jepperson%20Christina%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "142837 Jepperson Christina Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]10/17/2023 10:01:17 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

559711368310/26/202210/26/202212/01/2022Carmen GoersShukri OlowOlow, Shukri: Alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.335 for political advertising that makes a false claim stating or implying the support or endorsement of any person or organization (OCT22 EY22)RCW 29B.30.070/42.17A.335Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - Legislative<p>The complaint alleged that Shukri Olow, a candidate for state representative, may have violated RCW 42.17A.335 by sponsoring political advertising that makes a false claim stating or implying the support or endorsement of any person or organization. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegation and evidence; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by you, your witness, and the Respondent; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>On March 28, 2022, Shukri Olow registered with the PDC as a candidate for State Representative Position 2 of Legislative District 47. Ms. Olow proceeded through the primary to the general election but did not win the general election. </li><li>On October 11, 2021, Carmen Goers registered with the PDC as a candidate for State Representative Position 2 of Legislative District 47. Ms. Goers did not proceed through the primary election.</li><li>The evidence provided with the complaint, on October 26, 2022, was of a political advertisement (aka flier) in support of the Olow campaign that included a picture of Carmen Goers and the words “Endorsed by local Republican leaders” near the picture. The flier was delivered to voters sometime in the weeks prior to the general election.</li><li>On October 26, 2022, through a conversation Carmen Goers had with one of her campaign supporters, she became aware of a political advertisement citing her endorsement of Shukri Olow. This conversation was witnessed and corroborated by former staff to Ms. Goers, Justus Phelps. The supporter indicated they planned to vote for Ms. Olow in the general election because of Ms. Goers endorsement. Ms. Goers indicated she had several similar conversations and has had to tell her supporters she did not endorse Ms. Olow.</li><li>On November 4, 2022, upon questioning Ms. Olow about the alleged use of Ms. Goers image and the endorsement language in her political advertising, Ms. Olow stated: “This was a misunderstanding of a conversation I had with Carmen. She and I had a good conversation and she was supportive of my candidacy. I took that as an endorsement. That was a mistake on my part. I’ve instructed my team to refrain from listing her endorsement on all materials.” Ms. Olow also indicated her process for soliciting and validating an endorsement was for her “to reach out to electeds and ask for their support. I then follow[s]-up with a quote/template to share with them. I take full ownership here because the follow-up fell through the cracks. That was a mistake on my part.”</li><li>Ms. Goers confirmed the conversation with Ms. Olow, and the other candidate in the race Chris Stearns, did occur and that she “wished each of them good luck in their race. I told them I supported them in getting out there and running, as it’s not easy.” She did not endorse either candidate.</li><li>Upon review of the Olow campaign website, PDC staff determined the endorsement was not listed as of November 4, 2022. The Olow campaign confirmed the endorsement was never listed on the website. Additionally, it was confirmed there were no other uses of the “endorsement” by the campaign.</li><li>Per RCW 43.17A.335, it is a violation to sponsor with actual malice a political ad that contains a statement constituting libel or defamation per se if the statement:<ul><li>directly or indirectly implies a candidate has the support or endorsement of any person or organization when the candidate does not,</li><li>is a false statement of material fact about a candidate, or</li><li>falsely represents that a candidate is an incumbent.</li><li>Libel or defamation per se for the purposes of that section means “statements that tend (a) to expose a living person to hatred, contempt, ridicule, or obloquy, or to deprive him or her of the benefit of public confidence or social intercourse, or to injure him or her in his or her business or occupation, or (b) to injure any person, corporation, or association in her, his, or its business or occupation.”</li></ul></li><li>Actual malice is defined by RCW 42.17A.005(1) as “to act with knowledge of falsity or with reckless disregard as to truth or falsity.”</li></ul><p>Based on our findings, staff has determined that, Ms. Olow’s campaign did mistakenly take Ms. Goers support as an endorsement. But in this instance, we found no evidence of knowledge of falsity or reckless disregard by Ms. Olow. Nor did we find evidence that Ms. Goers suffered injury amounting to libel or defamation as a result. </p><p>However, PDC staff is reminding Shukri Olow about the importance of confirming an endorsement before making a claim of such support. PDC staff expects in the future that Ms. Olow will not directly or indirectly imply an endorsement by any person or organization if that endorsement has not been given in accordance with campaign practices, PDC laws and rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1136830.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "113683 Olow Shukri Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5597/113683%20Olow%20Shukri%20Response.pdf", "description" : "113683 Olow Shukri Response", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113683 Olow Shukri Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5597/113683%20Olow%20Shukri%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113683 Olow Shukri Complaint Return (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5597/113683%20Olow%20Shukri%20Complaint%20Return%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "113683 Olow Shukri Complaint Return", "document_type" : "Reminder"}]12/14/2022 10:56:25 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The levy proposed to fund the construction of an aquatic center for which the Parks District would be the owner and operator.</p><p>• The Foundation endorsed the bond measure on their website and used general treasury funds to pay for yard signs, posters, newspaper ads, bumper stickers, and a mailer sent to the community.</p><p>• RCW 42.17A.205 requires every political committee to register with the PDC within two weeks of organizing or first having the expectation of receiving contributions or making expenditures, whichever is earlier. Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.005(41) a “political committee” is any person, group, club, organization, or collection of individuals (except a candidate or individual dealing with his or her own funds) expecting to receive contributions or make expenditures in support of or in opposition to any candidate or ballot proposition. PDC Interpretation 07-02 outlines that there are two independent qualifying activities, receiving contributions and making expenditures, which can trigger the registration requirement.</p><p>• PDC staff did not find any evidence that the Foundation solicited for or received contributions to support their efforts specific to the endorsement of the bond measure.</p><p>• In reviewing the case materials, staff reviewed PDC Interpretation No. 07-02, “Primary Purpose Test” guidelines, to determine if the Foundation’s expenditures triggered the requirement to register as a political action committee. Based on the evidence there is no indication the Foundation used over 30% of its general treasury budget, or resources, on spending in the election campaign. However, we also must consider if the activities related to the election campaign spending, regardless of dollar amount, constitute a primary purpose of the organization. In this case, we found the successful outcome of the bond measure is favorable to the mission and goals of the Foundation, but the organization’s election-campaign-related activities were a minor aspect of the organization’s overall activities. Therefore, registration as a political action committee was not required by the Foundation. </p><p>• Per RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, under the Full Reporting Option, a committee is required to disclose contribution and expenditure information by submitting Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports and Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports to the PDC. The due dates for the C-3 and C-4 reports are determined by the Committee’s activity and participation in the election cycle. Because the Foundation was not required to register as a committee, RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 are not applicable to this case.</p><p>• Per RCW 42.17A.255, “Independent Expenditure” means any expenditure made in support of or in opposition to any candidate or ballot proposition and not otherwise required to be reported pursuant to RCW 42.17A.225, .235 and .240 (and not subject to certain exceptions outlined further in the statute). These types of expenditures are undertaken without consultation or cooperation with a benefiting candidate or campaign. If an expenditure does not constitute a contribution as defined in RCW 42.17A.005(16)(a) and WAC 390-05-210, the entity making it is free to spend as much or as little as they like, but once expenses reach $1,000 or more, an Independent Spending & Electioneering Communications (C-6) report must be filed within five days. Subsequent expenses must be filed on the 10th of the month preceding the election, 21 days prior to the election, seven days prior to the election, and then on the 10th of the month after the election. </p><p>• Following the complaint, a C-6 report was filed on December 01, 2023, after the election and past the filing deadlines. In this case, the Foundation should have reported expenditures for expenses related to the election campaign earlier, according to the schedule outlined above. The late reporting did deprive the public of critical information prior to the election.</p><p>• RCW 42.17A.320 states, “all written political advertising, whether relating to candidates or ballot propositions, shall include the sponsor’s name and address.” The statute exempts yard signs and other forms of political advertising where sponsor identification is impractical. In the case of independent expenditures, the statute further outlines additional information required if the political advertising is undertaken by an entity other than a bona fide political party or transmitted via television or another medium that includes a visual image. In this case, the political advertising is not subject to the “Top Five Contributor” or “Top Three Donors to PAC Contributors” disclosure. Even though the website and mailer did identify the Foundation by name and included their address, it was not clear if the advertising was paid for by the Foundation. Under Washington law, complete sponsor identification includes, “Paid for by” and the sponsor’s name and address, all in the same location, to clearly identify who paid for the advertising.</p><p>• The Foundation does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, the alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.205, .235 & .240 are unfounded. Through the case review, staff has further determined that the failure to promptly file C-6 reports covering 2023 campaign activity and providing complete sponsor identification on political advertising does not amount to a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, South Whidbey Parks and Aquatics Foundation will receive a formal written warning concerning their failure to promptly disclose independent expenditures and provide complete sponsor identification on political advertising. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that South Whidbey Parks and Aquatics Foundation follow all applicable requirements related to future political activity engaged in by the Foundation. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).<br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1428350.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "142835 South Whidbey Parks and Aquatics Foundation Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6229/142835%20South%20Whidbey%20Parks%20and%20Aquatics%20Foundation%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "142835 South Whidbey Parks Aquatics Foundation Response (revised).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6229/142835%20South%20Whidbey%20Parks%20Aquatics%20Foundation%20Response%20%28revised%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "142835 South Whidbey Parks Aquatics Foundation Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6229/142835%20South%20Whidbey%20Parks%20%20Aquatics%20Foundation%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "142835 South Whidbey Parks Aquatics Foundation Complaint2.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6229/142835%20South%20Whidbey%20Parks%20Aquatics%20Foundation%20Complaint2.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]12/14/2023 04:33:02 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

On March 1, 2020, Washingtonians Win in the 19th– sponsored by Maverick Gaming (WW19) filed a Registration disclosing that it was a Continuing Political Committee sponsored by Maverick Gaming and selecting the Full Reporting Option. </p><p>In 2020, WW19 has received $190,000 in monetary contributions, plus an additional $1,500 for in-kind contributions received from Washingtonians Win – sponsored by Maverick Gaming. In addition, WW19 disclosed receiving a total of $5,000 for in-kind contributions from Maverick Gaming for the costs associated with operating the political committee. </p><p>WW 19 timely filed the monthly C-4 reports covering the period March 1 through May 31, 2020, as well as the 21-Day and 7-Day Pre-Primary C-4 reports disclosing $155,449 in itemized expenditures that included 24 expenditures to Levy Online totaling $107,219 for billboard production and independent advertising, creative design and management fees, and a $37,100 expenditure made to EMC Research for survey work. </p><p>On June 22, 2020, WW19 filed an Independent Expenditure Report (C-6 report) checking box 2 as an Independent Expenditure of more than $1,000 and disclosing $23,528 for independent expenditures made in opposition to Representative Jim Walsh in the 19th Legislative District. The independent expenditures included six expenditures that were all made on March 10, 2020 to Levy Online for Billboard Media for $8,568, $8,175, and $2,385, and Billboard Production and Installation for $1,450 listed three times. The C-6 report disclosed that the billboards were presented to the public on May 25, June 1, and June 22, 2020.</p><p>The Committee stated the first billboards for WW19 went up on April 27, 2020, but did not support or oppose any candidate or even contain a message about any candidates, instead the billboards content only included information about coronavirus safety reminders. The first billboards to present a message regarding Rep. Walsh did not go up until June 1, 2020.</p><p>The Committee acknowledged the sponsor identification on the billboards failed to include the phrase “No candidate paid for this ad,” in addition to the top 5 and top 3 contributor information, and that the billboards have been corrected. The Committee stated Maverick Gaming was the only contributor required to have been listed in the disclaimer, and added WW19 “was not hiding the identity of its contributors, and there could be no confusion on the part of the public about who paid for the ad.” The Committee also acknowledged that billboards initially failed to identify Representative Walsh’s party preference, but the billboards have been corrected to properly identify Representative Walsh’s party preference as “Republican.” </p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the PDC issued a formal written warning to Washingtonians Win in the 19th, and Maverick Gaming, concerning the requirement to provide the party preference for any partisan candidates, along with the Notice to Voter and Top contributor language, on all independent expenditures, and electioneering communications undertaken for the remainder of the 2020 election. Washingtonians Win in the 19th, and Maverick Gaming will be advised that the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action, should there be future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>The PDC has dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/730180.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "73018 Washingtonians Win in the 19th Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3586/73018%20Washingtonians%20Win%20in%20the%2019th%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Washingtonians Win in the 19th Complaint return with Warning Cover ltr (Glen Morgan) PDC Case 74623.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3586/Washingtonians%20Win%20in%20the%2019th%20Complaint%20return%20with%20Warning%20Cover%20ltr%20%28Glen%20Morgan%29%20PDC%20Case%2074623.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "73018 Washingtonians Win in the 19th - Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3586/73018%20Washingtonians%20Win%20in%20the%2019th%20-%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]09/01/2020 10:04:19 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Ms. Smith filed a Candidate Registration (C-1) on May 18, 2023, for the Full Reporting option. The declaration of candidacy was filed also on May 18, 2023. Patti Dailey is the Treasurer for Ms. Smith’s 2023 campaign.</li><li>C-3 reports are due if contributions have been received and deposited. Bank deposits must be made weekly if contributions are received. Between June and the general election day, C-3s should be filed weekly on Mondays. Per RCW 42.17A.005(15)(b)(i), bank interest is not a contribution and therefore does not trigger a C-3 reporting requirement.</li><li>Regarding Mr. Morgan’s complaint alleging missing C-3 and C-4 reports since August 30, 2023, staff reviewed the reports filed by the Jamie Smith campaign and found the following:<ul><li>Following the multiple complaints, the campaign filed C-3 reports for 8/28/23, 9/5/23, 9/11/23, 9/18/23, 9/25/23, and 11/6/23 on December 15, 2023. However, there were no contributions received or deposited during these reporting periods, so no reports were due.</li><li>C-3 reports for the weeks of 10/2/23, 10/9/23, 10/16/23, and 10/30/23, were filed together in one report on October 27, 2023. The reporting was timely, considering $2,400 in contributions were received on 10/27/23 and no contributions were received prior.</li><li>A post-primary C-4 report, for period 7/25/23 – 8/31/23, was due on August 31, 2023. The campaign filed a C-4, for the period 7/25/23 – 10/31/23, on October 31, 2023, and amended on December 20, 2023. The original report showed $2,000 cash received with a deposit date of August 15, 2023, and $195 in expenditures. The amended report added a nominal amount for bank interest to the “cash received.” This C-4 was two months late for the post-primary reporting period, but this was mitigated by the corresponding C-3, #110168152, being filed timely.</li><li>C-3 reporting, for deposits made after November 6, 2023, was due on December 11, 2023, and the campaign filed a report on December 15, 2023. There were no contributions received or deposited during this reporting period, so a report was not due.</li><li>Deposits made in December have a C-3 due on 1/10/24.</li></ul></li><li>Conner Edwards complaints alleged a missing 21-day pre-election C-4 report, for period 9/1/23 – 10/16/23, and a missing post-election C-4 for the period 10/31/23 – 11/30/23.<ul><li>The 21-day pre-election C-4 was due on October 17, 2023. The campaign combined the post-primary C-4 and the 21-day pre-election C-4 into a single report and filed it on October 31, 2023, and amended on December 20, 2023. The original report showed $2,000 cash received with a deposit date of August 15, 2023, and $195 in expenditures. The amended report added a nominal amount for bank interest to the “cash received.” This C-4 was two weeks late for the pre-election reporting period, but this was mitigated by the corresponding C-3, #110168152, being filed timely.</li><li>The post-election C-4 was due on December 11, 2023. The campaign filed the report on December 14, 2023, and amended on December 20, 2023. The report was 3 days late. The late reporting is mitigated by the fact that the reporting was for a $65 expenditure for a storage fee and a nominal amount for bank interest.</li></ul></li><li>The Respondent does have other similar warnings of PDC requirements. </li></ul><p>Based on our case review staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), showing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the 2023 Campaign, does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Jamie Smith will receive a formal written warning concerning RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), showing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the 2023 Campaign. Staff expects Ms. Smith, moving forward, to file accurate and timely reports of contributions and expenditures in the ORCA system. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1444250.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "144425 Smith_Jamie Complaint(3).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6284/144425%20Smith_Jamie%20Complaint%283%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "144425 Jamie Smith(2) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6284/144425%20Jamie%20Smith%282%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "144425 Jamie Smith Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "144425 Smith_Jamie Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6284/144425%20Smith_Jamie%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "144425 Smith_Jamie Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6284/144425%20Smith_Jamie%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "144425 Jamie Smith(2) Supplemental Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6284/144425%20Jamie%20Smith%282%29%20Supplemental%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "144425 Jamie Smith Supplemental Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]01/30/2024 03:39:28 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaints alleged that Mia Gregerson, a Representative in Legislative District 33 may have violated: (1)RCW 42.17A.240 for failure to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) disclosing expenditures made to political consultant, John Wyble, or WinPower Strategies; (2) RCW 42.17A.430 for misuse of surplus funds; (3) RCW 42.17A.490 for improper transfer of funds received for a 2011 City of SeaTac campaign to a 2014 State Representative campaign; (4) RCW 42.17A.235, .240 & WAC 390-16-037 for failure to timely and accurately describe expenditures on C-4 reports; and (5) RCW 42.17A.240 for failure to timely and accurately file C-4 reports disclosing surplus funds.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Rep. Gregerson; the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>The two complaints included six separate allegations in total with some overlapping evidence provided between them. During staff’s review, evidence was found to substantiate two of the allegations in whole and one in part. Rep. Gregerson’s response confirmed that she believed she had improperly used surplus funds in one instance in March 2017 as described in Allegation 2 and she suggested an appropriate remedy. The three expenditure descriptions included in Allegation 4 required edits after the complaint was received, and the receipt of the $10,000 transfer to the Gregerson Surplus Funds Account was disclosed late as described in Allegation 5.</p><p>Rep. Gregerson has been a candidate and elected or appointed official since 2007. She promptly responded to the complaints, submitted amendments and provided details regarding missing or otherwise deficient information. It appears that the errors made related to her Surplus Funds Account and the insufficient descriptions provided in her 2016 campaign, were not done to mislead the public or prevent transparency. Rep. Gregerson has not been found in violation of RCW 42.17A within the past five years.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to include accurate descriptions for three expenditures in a 2016 campaign, failure to timely file receipt of a transfer into the Gregerson Surplus Funds Account, and a misuse of surplus funds that required reimbursement to correct, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>PDC staff is reminding Rep. Gregerson about the importance of including detailed descriptions for all expenditures disclosed on C-4 reports, the timely disclosure of all contribution and expenditure activities related to the Surplus Funds Account, and to review all expenditures of surplus funds to ensure they are permissible in accordance with the statutes and rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/590190.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Complaint Attachment - Total 2014 Gregerson reported campaign expenditures to John Wyble.csv", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3303/Complaint%20Attachment%20-%20Total%202014%20Gregerson%20reported%20campaign%20expenditures%20to%20John%20Wyble.csv", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Complaint Attachment - Total 2018 Gregerson reported campaign expenditures to John Wyble.csv", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3303/Complaint%20Attachment%20-%20Total%202018%20Gregerson%20reported%20campaign%20expenditures%20to%20John%20Wyble.csv", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Complaint Attachment - Total 2016 Gregerson reported campaign expenditures to John Wyble.csv", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3303/Complaint%20Attachment%20-%20Total%202016%20Gregerson%20reported%20campaign%20expenditures%20to%20John%20Wyble.csv", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "59019 Gregerson Mia (3) Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3303/59019%20Gregerson%20Mia%20%283%29%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Complaint Attachment - Total 2015 Gregerson reported campaign expenditures to John Wyble (SeaTac).csv", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3303/Complaint%20Attachment%20-%20Total%202015%20Gregerson%20reported%20campaign%20expenditures%20to%20John%20Wyble%20%28SeaTac%29.csv", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "59019 Gregerson Mia (3) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3303/59019%20Gregerson%20Mia%20%283%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "59019 Gregerson Mia Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3303/59019%20Gregerson%20Mia%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]01/15/2020 04:29:19 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

(AUG 2019)RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Resolved with Technical CorrectionCandidate - Local<p>The PDC received a complaint alleging that Steven Verhey (the “Respondent”) may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 by failing to accurately report a contribution.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; and the Respondent’s reporting history to determine whether they support a finding of one or more violations. Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>The Respondent is a candidate for election who timely registered with the PDC as a candidate on May 27, 2019. On July 20, 2019, the Respondent reported a $500 contribution from Peter Barr-Gillespie that contained a typographical error in the contributor’s address (state). </p><p>The Respondent indicated that the error was the result of the PDC online filing system defaulting to the last state field used. The unintentional error in the contributor’s address was corrected on an amended C-3 report filed September 17, 2019. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to accurately report a contributor’s address does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. The Respondent made a minor or ministerial error on a required report that did not materially impact the public interest, which he amended after being notified.

(EY'21; October '21)WAC 390-16-105Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsCandidate - Local<p>A complaint was filed against Erica Norton, a candidate for Federal Way City Council in 2021, alleging that her 2021 Campaign may have violated WAC 390-16-105 by exceeding the $5,000 contribution and expenditure limitations of the Mini Reporting option. </p><p>On July 12, 2021, Erica Norton filed a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) with the PDC declaring her candidacy in 2021 for Federal Way City Council, Position #2, selecting the Mini Reporting option, and listing Michael Norton as Treasurer. Since there were only two candidates that filed for Federal Way City Council, Position #2, Ms. Norton did not appear on the August 3, 2021 primary election ballot.</p><p>Under the Mini Reportion option, candidates and their authorized committees are prohibited from raising and spending more than $5,000 in the aggregate and may not receive more than $500 in contributions in the aggregate contributions from any one source “<i>other than the candidate</i>.” </p><p>Ms. Norton stated the Campaign has not exceeded the $5,000 Mini Reporting limits, either in total contributions received or total expenditures made. She provided copies of the Campaign books of account that included invoices and receipts and an expenditures spreadsheet verifying her Campaign had not exceeded the Mini Reporting limits. The spreadsheet included expenditures made by the Campaign between May 12, 2021, ($159 for the candidate filing fee) through October 17, 2021 ($7.62 to boost a Facebook Ad). </p><p>Ms. Norton stated that: (1) she designed her Campaign flyers on her laptop computer and she used the brochure templates provided by the vendor Vistaprint to create the flyers; (2) she purchased the yard signs for her Campaign from 55Printing.com, a printer out of Los Angeles, California, since they had offered the best prices; and (3) she designed her own yard signs. </p><p>The Campaign expenditures spreadsheet totaled $4,914.15 and listed 14 expenditures that included: (1) three expenditures made to Vistaprint totaling $485.25 to print “Campaign literature”; (2) a $1,460 expenditure made to One Spark Marketing on September 29, 2021 for a mailer; and (3) three expenditures made to 55Printing.com by the Campaign totaling $1,868.21 to print yard signs. Ms. Norton stated for her Campaign website she used WordPress to design her website which provided her with a variety of "themes to choose from and the purchaser simply fills in the fields.” The spreadsheet listed a $43.50 expenditure was made by the Campaign on June 6, 2021, to NameCheap for the “Campaign domain and WordPress site.” PDC staff reviewed information online about WordPress and found a basic 50 GB single website with standard features and a free domain name for year started at a special rate of $2.95 a month. <br><br>Concerning contributions received by her Campaign, Ms. Norton stated that she received less than $5,000 in total contributions and acknowledged receiving three $500 contributions. She stated that she also received one $250 contribution, one $100 contribution with the rest of the contributions received being between $20-$50 each. She added “I am not even close to my contribution limit.” <br><br>Ms. Norton stated “as a small business owner, I fully understand and live with the concept of <br>budgeting properly on a daily basis” and that she was aware of the Mini Reporting option limits and did not exceed them. She stated that “I don't have a campaign manager, I don't have a marketing consultant, I don't have an image consultant, I don't have a web designer, I don't have a treasurer, I don't have anyone to put up signs for me. These are all things I can do myself…” She stated that “sticking to a budget and being innovative with my marketing is what I've been doing over 11 years.” <br><br>Based on this information, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation and that no additional action or investigation is warranted. PDC staff has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/998310.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Norton, Erica Complaint return ltr with no evidence of violation (Moore) PDC Case 99831.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5003/Norton%2C%20Erica%20Complaint%20return%20ltr%20with%20no%20evidence%20of%20violation%20%28Moore%29%20PDC%20Case%2099831.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "PDC Case 99831 Erica Norton response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5003/PDC%20Case%2099831%20Erica%20Norton%20response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "99831 Norton, Erica Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5003/99831%20Norton%2C%20Erica%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "99831 Norton, Erica Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]10/27/2021 05:28:40 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The complaint alleged that One Washington Equality Campaign (OWEC), a political committee registered in the 2019 election to support the passage of Referendum #88 (R-88) to restore affirmative action, may have violated: (1) RCW 42 17A.240 for failure to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing expenditures or in-kind contributions for legal services provided by Foster Pepper, LLC; and (2) RCW 42.17A.255 for failure to report independent expenditures for the same legal services. PDC staff also reviewed a supplemental complaint submitted on September 11, 2019 alleging that OWEC may have violated RCW 42.17A.240 by failing to disclose receipt of an in-kind contribution made by SEIU Initiative Fund.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by OWEC treasurer Andy Lo and OWEC Co-chair Jesse Wineberry; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>After a careful review of the alleged violations and relevant facts, PDC staff has concluded it investigation.</p><p>During the investigation, staff found the treasurers of OWEC, Mr. Lo and Ms. Cole, to be knowledgeable and responsive. As ministerial treasurers only, both had limited authority and had to rely on other committee officers for specific campaign activity details which may have resulted in reporting delays. Staff found that the content of I-1000 and the subsequent introduction of R-88 was difficult for some members of the general public to understand. Staff also found the formation of several other committees in support of R-88 during the 2019 election cycle may have contributed to further confusion.</p><p>R-88 was presented to voters on the November 5, 2019 general election ballot but failed to receive enough votes to restore affirmative action. Apart from the complaints filed by Mr. Morgan, PDC staff received no additional complaints against OWEC.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, OWEC’s failure to timely disclose pro bono legal services as in-kind contributions does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, OWEC will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely disclose legal services received as in-kind contributions. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that OWEC timely files all required PDC reports of contributions and expenditures if the committee is involved in future campaigns. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Since OWEC disclosed the legal services provided by Foster Pepper LLC as in-kind contributions, staff found no evidence to support a violation of RCW 42.17A.255. In addition, staff found no evidence of OWEC’s failure to disclose an in-kind contribution from SEIU Initiative Fund as alleged in the supplemental complaint. Both of these allegations are dismissed in accordance with WAC 390-37-070.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/534540.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "53454 One Washington Equality Campaign Warning Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3073/53454%20One%20Washington%20Equality%20Campaign%20Warning%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "53454 One Washington Equality Campaign Supplement Complaint Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3073/53454%20One%20Washington%20Equality%20Campaign%20Supplement%20Complaint%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "53454 Initial Hearing Results -Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3073/53454%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "53454 One Washington Equality Campaign Supplement to Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3073/53454%20One%20Washington%20Equality%20Campaign%20Supplement%20to%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "53454 One Washington Equality Campaign Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3073/53454%20One%20Washington%20Equality%20Campaign%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "53454 One Washington Equality Campaign Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3073/53454%20One%20Washington%20Equality%20Campaign%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "53454 Initial Hearing Results - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3073/53454%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]09/14/2020 04:32:36 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Shankland, Chair of the <a href="https://41dems.org/">5th District Democrats</a>; James Terwilliger, Chair of the <a href="https://41dems.org/">48th District Democrats</a>; David Williams, Chair of the <a href="https://41dems.org/">45th District Democrats</a>.</p><p>The Committee acknowledged receiving a $500 contribution from the King County Democratic Central Committee on June 23, 2020. However, they noted the Committee <i>“erroneously reported the contribution as coming from Ms. Shasti Conrad. Ms. Conrad is the chair of the King County Democratic Central Committee.” </i>The Committee stated on June 23, 2020, Ms. Conrad made an online contribution as Chair of the King County Democratic Central Committee using the party’s debit card, but that <i>“when the ActBlue confirmation came through to our treasurer only Ms. Conrad’s name was shown on the confirmation.” </i>The Committee included a June 23, 2020, email from ActBlue and stating on the Subject line “(ActBlue) Shasti Conrad $500 to Eastside Democrats.</p><p>On July 22, 2020, the Committee filed an amended C-3 report disclosing “the King County Democratic Central Committee as the donor and removing Shasti Conrad’s personal name” as the contributor. The contribution had been deposited on June 24, 2020, and the original C-3 report was timely filed by the Committee on June 28, 2020.</p><p>Concerning the contribution received from the Tana Senn Surplus Funds account, the Committee acknowledged receiving the contribution from the Tana Senn Surplus Account, but that the Committee “relied on the Senn team with regards to the appropriate account from which the donation could be made. Upon learning of this error, we immediately refunded the donation of $1,000 to the Tana Senn Surplus Account.” The Committees refund check was received by the Tana Senn Surplus Funds account and deposited into the surplus fund bank account on July 23, 2020, per the Committee bank records.</p><p>Staff found that the $500 contribution received by the Eastside Democratic Dinner Committee from the King County Democratic Central Committee was timely received and deposited. However, due to processing issue on the part of the vendor the contributor information provided to the Committee inadvertently attributed the contribution to Ms. Conrad, the Chair of the King County Democratic Central Committee. Once notified of the discrepancy, the Eastside Democratic Dinner Committee promptly filed an amended report disclosing the King County Democratic Central Committee as the contributor. In addition, while the surplus fund expenditure was improperly made by Tana Senn using surplus funds to a political committee, the Eastside Democratic Dinner Committee did not violate RCW 42.17.430 by receiving and depositing the $1,000 contribution from the Tana Senn Surplus Funds Account.</p><p>The PDC has dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/738840.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Eastside Democratic Dinner Committee Complaint Return Letter (Morgan) PDC Case 73884.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3609/Eastside%20Democratic%20Dinner%20Committee%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20Case%2073884.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "73884 Eastside Democratic Dinner Committee PAC Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3609/73884%20Eastside%20Democratic%20Dinner%20Committee%20PAC%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "73884 Eastside Democratic Dinner Committee PAC (2) Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3609/73884%20Eastside%20Democratic%20Dinner%20Committee%20PAC%20%282%29%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]09/11/2020 12:24:24 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The Committee filed a Political Committee registration (C-1pc) on October 17, 2023, amended on October 26, 2023, under the Mini Reporting option. The Committee Treasurer is Katie Shapiro.</li><li>Per WAC 390-16-105(2), a political committee is not required to comply with provisions of RCW 42.17A.225 through 42.17A.240, except as otherwise prescribed in WAC 390-16-038, 390-16-115, and 390-16-125, if the committee selects the mini reporting option on its Candidate Registration (C-1pc) and meets both of the following conditions:<ul><li>Does not raise nor expend an amount that exceeds $7,000; and</li><li>Does not accept contributions from any one person, which exceed $500 aggregate.</li></ul></li><li>There is no evidence the Committee exceeded the mini reporting limits. The allegations of a violation of RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 are unfounded.</li><li>RCW 42.17A.205 requires every political committee to register with the PDC within two weeks of organizing or first having the expectation of receiving contributions or making expenditures, whichever is earlier. Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.005(41) a “political committee” is any person, group, club, organization, or collection of individuals (except a candidate or individual dealing with his or her own funds) expecting to receive contributions or make expenditures in support of or in opposition to any candidate or ballot proposition. PDC Interpretation 07-02 outlines that there are two independent qualifying activities, receiving contributions and making expenditures, which can trigger the registration requirement.</li><li>The Committee took over a GoFundMe site, previously used by GoBlueWhidbey, in the Fall of 2023 to raise contributions. Organizers of GoBlueWhidbey were not responsible for the fall campaign activities associated with the Parents and Grandparents of South Whidbey Schools. The two groups shared some members, but they did not coordinate their activities nor share funding.</li><li>The Committee began expending funds in support for the bond measure in mid-September 2023. </li><li>Registration as a political action committee was required per RCW 42.17A.205 but was not conducted timely and only occurred after the complaint against the Committee had been filed.</li><li>RCW 42.17A.320 states, “all written political advertising, whether relating to candidates or ballot propositions, shall include the sponsor’s name and address.” The statute exempts yard signs and other forms of political advertising where sponsor identification is impractical. The information required to appear on political advertising shall appear on the first page or fold of the written advertisement or communication in at least ten-point type, or in type at least ten percent of the largest size type used in a written advertisement or communication directed at more than one voter, such as a billboard or poster, whichever is larger; not be subject to the half-tone or screening process; and be set apart from any other printed matter. No text may be before, after, or immediately adjacent to the information required. WAC 390-18-010 further clarifies and explains the requirements for sponsor identification and political advertising.</li><li>In the case of independent expenditures (IE), the statute further outlines additional information required if the political advertising is undertaken by an entity other than a bona fide political party or transmitted via television or another medium that includes a visual image. In this case the political advertising was subject to disclosure of the “Top Five Contributors” and “Top Three Donors to PAC Contributors,” if those PAC contributors fall in the top five contributors.</li><li>The Committee sponsored multiple political advertisements to include a website, Facebook advertisement, flyers, yard signs, a mailer, and a newspaper advertisement. Per RCW 42.17A.320, the website, Facebook advertisement, flyers, mailer, and newspaper advertisement all required complete sponsor identifcation on the materials and this identification was missing.</li><li>Per RCW 42.17A.255 “Independent Expenditure” means any expenditure made in support of or in opposition to any candidate or ballot proposition and not otherwise required to be reported pursuant to RCW 42.17A.225, .235 and .240 and is not subject to certain exceptions outlined further in the statute. These types of expenditures are undertaken without consultation or cooperation of a benefiting candidate or campaign. If an expenditure does not constitute a <i>contribution</i> as defined in RCW 42.17A.005(16)(a) and WAC 390-05-210, the entity making it is free to spend as much or as little as they like, but once expenses reach $2,000 or more, an Independent Spending & Electioneering Communications (C-6) report must be filed within five days. Subsequent expenses must be filed on the 10th of the month preceding the election, 21 days prior to the election, seven days prior to the election, and then on the 10th of the month after the election. </li><li>In total, the Committee expended $5,340.15 on political advertising. These expenditures should have been reported on the Independent Spending & Electioneering Communications (C-6) report once the threshold of $2,000 had been reached. The threshold was reached on or about September 21, 2023, with the expenditure on yard signs. The C-6 report was filed 3 months late on December 21, 2023. </li><li>The Committee does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Parents and Grandparents of South Whidbey Schools was a first-time political action committee. Per the Respondent “we are an informal group of parents, all volunteers, working to pass a school bond in our South Whidbey School District.” The Committee indicated that they tried to report their mailer on October 16, 2023, before the first complaint, and also talked with PDC staff on October 17, 2023, when they realized the report did not go through. There were a number of technical issues the Committee had to work through in order to successfully file their registration and subsequent C-6 report which added to the time delay for the reporting. Once the Committee, and its officer, started working with PDC staff they were very responsive and worked diligently to correct the reporting errors.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has decided that, in this instance, failure to timely register as a political action committee, provide full sponsor identification on political advertising, and timely report independent expenditures does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Parents and Grandparents of South Whidbey Schools (the Committee) and the registered officer, will receive a formal written warning concerning their failure to timely register as a political committee, to include full sponsor identification on political advertising, and for failure to timely report independent expenditures. Staff expects the Committee and its officers to comply with all laws, rules and PDC guidance in the future pertaining to political committees sponsoring or opposing ballot measures. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1436590.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "143659 Parent Grandparents for South Whidbey Schools Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6248/143659%20Parent%20Grandparents%20for%20South%20Whidbey%20Schools%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "143659 Parents and Grandparents for South Whidbey Schools Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "143659 Parents and Grandparents for South Whidbey Schools Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6248/143659%20Parents%20and%20Grandparents%20for%20South%20Whidbey%20Schools%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "143659 Parents and Grantparents for South Whidbey Schools Supplemental Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6248/143659%20Parents%20and%20Grantparents%20for%20South%20Whidbey%20Schools%20Supplemental%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "143659 Parents and Grandparents for South Whidbey Schools Supplemental Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "143659 Parents and Grandparents for South Whidbey Schools Supplemental Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6248/143659%20Parents%20and%20Grandparents%20for%20South%20Whidbey%20Schools%20Supplemental%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]09/18/2025 10:45:43 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Mayor Mendoza welcomed the attendees of the ceremony and introduced invited speakers to the podium. The morning’s invited speakers were county and city officials, project management and team members, and in attendance were members of the community. Toward the end of the event Mayor Mendoza spontaneously invited Mr. Gary Christensen, a local Grandview business owner, to the podium to share his thoughts. Mr. Christiansen was not on the agenda as a speaker, but he had previously been at the groundbreaking ceremony for the roundabout and spoke at that event. At the end of his comments about the project and doing business in Grandview, Mr. Christiansen commented on Mayor Mendoza’s re-election campaign and encouraged people to vote for her. At the end of Mr. Christiansen’s comments, Mayor Mendoza says that “I thanked him for his kind remarks and said, “listen to him because he is a smart man.” The mayor asserts the last of her comment was directed toward the praise Mr. Christensen gave for the city’s business friendly environment.</li><li>As part of her response to the complaint, Mayor Mendoza included a statement from Mr. Christiansen in which he apologized for “suggesting that people should re-elect you for mayor at the recent ribbon cutting” and that he “was unaware that I should not have made a comment regarding your re-election.” He asserted that the mayor did not ask him to or suggest that he make any comments about her re-election and that his comments were a spontaneous reaction in the moment. Other statements, from attendees of the event, were also provided in the response and they corroborate Mr. Christiansen and the Mayor’s recollection of the incident.</li><li>In this instance, there is no evidence that supports coordination between the mayor’s campaign and Mr. Christensen about his comments.</li><li>The Respondent does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings, the evidence does not support a violation of RCW 42.17A.555 for allowing public speech at a public city event in support of candidacy.</p><p>The PDC finds that no further action is necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1) and WAC 390-37-060(1)(a).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1431550.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "143155 Mendoza Maria Gloria Response (revised).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6238/143155%20Mendoza%20Maria%20Gloria%20Response%20%28revised%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "143155 Mendoza Maria Gloria Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6238/143155%20Mendoza%20Maria%20Gloria%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "143155 Mendoza_Maria Dismissal Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6238/143155%20Mendoza_Maria%20Dismissal%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}]11/06/2023 04:50:08 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The complaint alleged that Whatcom County Democratic Central Committee, a county bona fide political party committee, may have violated RCW 42.17A.405 for accepting an over-limit contribution in excess of $5,500 from one source during calendar year 2021.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Treasurer Cheyanna Strickland on behalf of the Respondent, and the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent. Staff also queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database.</p><p>It appears that the late reporting of WCDCC Exempt activity was due to a general misunderstanding of the reporting requirements and a lack of knowledge about the use of ORCA. Staff found no evidence that the Respondent made these errors intentionally to mislead the public.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to accurately file the Exempt activity in a separate account does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Whatcom County Democratic Central Committee - Exempt will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to accurately disclose contribution and expenditure activity in the Exempt funds account.

The thresholds applicable to incidental committee reporting as of the time of the EHCAF contribution were: $35,000 in campaign expenditures and $15,000 for a payment. Both thresholds must be met for incidental committee reporting to be required.</p><p>Mr. Daley stated that Empire Health Foundation (EHF) is a nonprofit corporation that is organized under the statutes of the State of Washington and is a tax-exempt Private Foundation pursuant to IRS Code Section 501(c)(3). He stated that EHF “operates for charitable, scientific, and educational purposes, as set forth in its Articles of Incorporation.” He stated that Empire Health Community Advocacy Fund (EHCAF) “is nonprofit corporation organized under the laws of the State of Washington, as a tax-exempt Social Welfare Organization pursuant to IRS Code Section 501(c)(4).” He stated that EHCAF’s primary purpose is to address “health-related social welfare needs of the people in Eastern Washington, as set forth in its Articles of Incorporation.”</p><p>Mr. Daley stated that EHCAF was not subject to incidental committee reporting because it received no qualifying payments during 2023. He added that “on December 20, 2022, EHCAF and Inatai (formerly known as the Group Health Foundation) entered into a written grant agreement. Pursuant to that grant agreement’s explicit terms, EHCAF received a grant of $200,000 “with donor restrictions.” </p><p>As noted above, Mr. Daley stated the grant was made on December 20, 2022, that EHCAF booked the grant funds as having been received in 2022, and EHCAF has confirmed that Inatai (the grantor) “booked the funds as having been awarded in 2022.” However, he stated, “due to logistical issues, EHCAF did not actually receive the funds until January 12, 2023.”</p><p>According to Mr. Daley, the Inatai grant was restricted to such an extent that it could not be used for election campaign purposes. The grant was explicitly provided for EHCAF’s “Special Capital Leverage Fund,” and that the fund was established to support Take Up the Cause, a Washington State nonprofit corporation. Daley stated Take Up the Cause was established to provide low-income housing by purchasing and developing an apartment complex known as the “Beloved Sunset Apartments.”</p><p>Mr. Daley stated the written grant agreement confirmed that the grant was “solely and exclusively” for the purpose of assisting Take Up the Cause in purchasing the Beloved Sunset Apartments. He stated that EHCAF was “explicitly prohibited by contract” from using the Group Health Foundation grant “for election purposes.”</p><p>Mr. Daley also noted that EHCAF was established with an initial endowment of $20 million, that EHCAF has a current asset balance of approximately $19.3 million, and EHCAF’s 2023 operating budget was $2,016,911. Therefore, the Group Health Foundation’s grant of $200,000, represented “less than twenty-five percent” of EHCAF’s total budget.</p><p>Under RCW 42.17A.240(20(e), “Payments from private foundations organized under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code to an incidental committee do not have to be reported if:</p><p>(i) The private foundation is contracting with the incidental committee for a specific purpose other than election campaign purposes;<br>(ii) Use of the funds for election campaign purposes is explicitly prohibited by contract; and<br>(iii) Funding from the private foundation represents less than twenty-five percent of the incidental committee's total budget;”</p><p>Finally, Mr. Daley stated that no payments, inter-fund transfers, grants, or other transfers were made from Take Up the Cause to EHCAF in 2023, and he added that the “Special Capital Leverage Fund is not an entity separate from EHCAF; instead, it was a fund established by EHCAF for the sole purpose of directing the restricted grant funds from the Group Health Foundation to Take Up the Cause, so that Take Up the Cause could pursue acquisition of the Beloved Sunset Apartments.” </p><p>Mr. Daley added that “once the funds were delivered to Take Up the Cause, the Special Capital Leverage Fund was closed. However, to directly answer the question: no payments, inter-fund transfers, grants, or other transfers were made from the Special Capital Leverage Fund to EHCAF and/or to other funds within EHCAF in 2023.”</p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined that EHCAF did not have payments during 2023 that would have prompted incidental committee registration and reporting once the contribution was made to Justice Not Jails.</p><p>In this instance, the facts do not warrant any further review or investigation into these allegations or any enforcement action, and the PDC has dismissed the allegations against the Empire Health Community Advocacy Fund in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). <br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1443730.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Empire Health Community Advocacy Fund Response (PDC Case 144373).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6280/Empire%20Health%20Community%20Advocacy%20Fund%20Response%20%28PDC%20Case%20144373%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "144373 Empire Health Community Advocacy Fund Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6280/144373%20Empire%20Health%20Community%20Advocacy%20Fund%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Empire Health Community Advocacy Fund Complaint Return Ltr (Madsen) PDC Case 144373.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6280/Empire%20Health%20Community%20Advocacy%20Fund%20Complaint%20Return%20Ltr%20%28Madsen%29%20PDC%20Case%20144373.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}]01/17/2024 09:04:47 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

(EY '19) (Jul '19)RCW 29B.55.010/42.17A.700, RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - LocalCandidate C1 & F1<p>The PDC received a complaint alleging that Gerry “Tiger” Budbill (the “Respondent”) may have violated RCW 42.17A.205 & .700 by failing to timely register as a candidate for election year 2019 & timely file a statement of personal financial affairs within two weeks of declaring candidacy.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules and reporting requirements; and the Respondent’s reporting history to determine whether they support a finding of one or more violations. Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>The Respondent was a first-time candidate who declared as a candidate with Elections officials the week ending May 17, 2019 and was therefore required to file a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) and Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) with the PDC within two weeks, or no later than May 31, 2019. </p><p>The Respondent filed a C-1 report with the PDC on September 11, 2019, which is 103 days late. On his C-1 report, the Respondent selected the Mini-reporting Option, whereby a candidate’s campaign is not required to file C-3 & C-4 reports with the PDC if they raise & spend no more than $5,000 and receive no more than $500 from any one contributor. </p><p>The Respondent filed an F-1 report with the PDC on September 23, 2019, which is 115 days late.</p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to timely file the C-1 and F-1 reports does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. However, the PDC issued the Respondent a formal written Warning, including PDC staff's expectation that the Respondent will timely file these reports in future years. The Commission may consider the formal written Warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/557260.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "55726 Budbill Tiger Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3167/55726%20Budbill%20Tiger%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "55726 Budbill Tiger Warning Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3167/55726%20Budbill%20Tiger%20Warning%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]03/18/2021 05:56:28 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

On August 27, 2021, the registration was amended to reflect the candidate receiving PDC approval to convert to the Full Reporting option.</li><li>On July 16, 2021, the Respondent filed the Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1) as required of a candidate, for the period April 22, 2020, to April 21, 2021. This filing was untimely, and the violation was addressed in PDC Case 95488. All other F-1 filings while the Respondent served as an elected official were filed timely.</li><li>During the case review, PDC staff determined that two Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports for election year 2021 were missing. The reports were subsequently filed, albeit untimely. In 2021 the financial activity threshold for filing monthly campaign reports was $200. <ul><li>The C-4 for the period of October 26, 2021, to November 30, 2021, filed on May 10, 2024, showed $546.12 for receipts received and $276.63 for expenditures. The Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports for the receipts were filed timely.</li><li>The C-4 covering the period of December 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021, filed on May 10, 2024, showed $.01 in receipts received and $430.50 in expenditures.</li><li>Both C-4 reports were filed late, but this is mitigated by the fact that the primary expenditures during these two periods were the candidate paying themselves back for a loan, payment of a PDC civil penalty, and small expenditures for post-election campaign management.</li><li>A third C-4, for the period of September 1, 2021, to October 1, 2021, was amended on May 22, 2024, to reflect a non-bank transaction expenditure of $14.86 for credit card processing.</li><li>A fourth C-4 for the period October 12, 2021, to October 25, 2021, was amended on May 20, 2024, to adjust carry forward balances.</li></ul></li><li>The campaign’s final C-4 shows a negative cash on hand balance of $14.32. If the campaign were for a current election, the PDC would normally have the reporting issue remedied, but because the issue is for a 2021 campaign and involves such a small negative balance, there is limited value in having the Respondent remedy the issue in their reporting.</li><li>The Respondent, at the time the noncompliance for reporting occurred, did not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>During his 2021 campaign for School Director, Mr. Bird was a first-time candidate, his campaign was small, and it was volunteer based. His wife, Ann Bird, was the Treasurer of that campaign, but following your complaint, Mr. Bird hired Ayers Consulting LLC to review the reporting and make the necessary corrections. In this case, the amended and missing reporting was not intentional and did not deprive the public of critical information. </p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately file Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports for election year 2021 does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Semi Bird will receive a formal written warning concerning the requirement under RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file post-election Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports for election year 2021. Staff expects that Mr. Bird, moving forward, will follow all laws, rules, and PDC guidance pertaining to the timely and accurate submission of reports. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1514190.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "151419 Bird Misipati Semi Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6646/151419%20Bird%20Misipati%20Semi%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "151419 Bird Misipati Semi Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "151419 Bird_Misipati Semi Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6646/151419%20Bird_Misipati%20Semi%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "151419 Bird_Misipati Semi Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6646/151419%20Bird_Misipati%20Semi%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]06/18/2025 12:29:15 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Mr. Gattenby does not have any prior violations with the PDC, he responded promptly to the complaint and made appropriate changes to his Facebook page immediately.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, Mr. Gattenby is not a current candidate for election to public office and was not required to submit a C-1 report within two weeks of making a public announcement and that no evidence supports a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/722980.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "72298 Gattenby Eric Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3573/72298%20Gattenby%20Eric%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "72298 Gattenby Eric Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3573/72298%20Gattenby%20Eric%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "72298 Gattenby Eric Dismissal Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3573/72298%20Gattenby%20Eric%20Dismissal%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]06/25/2020 09:50:08 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The complaint alleged that Washington State BPW (Business & Professional Women) PAC (BPW PAC), a committee registered with the PDC during calendar years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 for failure to timely file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), including an accurate carry forward amount from one calendar year to the next and accurate disclosure of the source of a contribution.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and supporting documentation; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by attorney and member of BPW PAC Nancy L. Sorensen on behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that although BPW PAC failed to submit a new committee registration each year to select the “Mini Reporting” option, and was, therefore, required to file under the “Full Reporting” option, the committee did not accept more than $500 in the aggregate from one source nor exceeded the contribution and expenditure limit of no more than $5,000. The treasurer worked with PDC Filer Assistance staff to complete reports disclosing campaign activity as required under the “Full Reporting” option, including activity from 2018, most of which is beyond the statute of limitations for enforcement action.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately file campaign reports dating back from calendar year 2018 forward due, in large part, to a failure to re-register under the “Mini Reporting” option regardless of being eligible for mini reporting, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, the Respondent will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately file reports disclosing campaign activity, specifically including a correct carry forward balance, and a failure properly to identify the source of contributions.

553011140808/04/202208/04/202209/20/2022Conner EdwardsTyson FellmanFellman, Tyson: Alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 for failure to timely disclose contribution & expenditure activities on C-4 reports in support of their candidacy in 2018 (EY18; Aug22)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>A complaint was filed against Tyson Fellman, a 2018 candidate seeking election to the office of Benton County Public Utility District #1 (PUD) Commissioner, alleging that the 2018 Tyson Fellman Campaign (Campaign) violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to file Monetary Contributions reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contributions and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) disclosing contribution and expenditure activities undertaken in support of his candidacy.</p><p>On May 28, 2018, Tyson Fellman filed a Candidate Registration (C-1) registering as a candidate seeking election to the office of Benton County PUD #1 Commissioner, Position #3 in 2018, selecting the Full Reporting option, and listing himself as Treasurer. Mr. Fellman was a first-time candidate for public office in 2018.</p><p>The Campaign timely filed two C-3 reports: (1) one C-3 report was filed on June 4, 2018, disclosing that Mr. Fellman made a $1,000 personal contribution that was received and deposited on May 29, 2018; and (2) one C-3 report was filed on July 25, 2018, disclosing that Mr. Fellman made a second $1,000 personal contribution that was received on July 20th, and deposited on July 25, 2018. </p><p>No C-4 reports were filed by Mr. Fellman for the 2018 election, and no additional C-3 reports were filed after the July 25, 2018, C-3 report was filed.</p><p>On September 6, 2022, Mr. Fellman sent an email to the PDC in response to the complaint that was mailed to him. In his response, Mr. Fellman confirmed that he filed two C-3 reports disclosing the two $1,000 personal he contributed to his campaign. Mr. Fellman stated that “I am not sure if there were any other contributions to my campaign from myself. I did not get any contributions from anyone else.” Concerning expenditures he made in support of his candidacy, he stated that his Campaign “spent money on online advertising, on a website, signs, campaign business cards, and customized pens.” </p><p>Mr. Fellman acknowledged his “lack of filing” of any C-4 reports or additional C-3 reports and stated that his failure to file the reports “was due to not making past the election primaries.” Staff noted that Mr. Fellman finished third in the 2018 primary election for Benton County PUD #1 Commissioner, Position #3 and did not appear on the 2018 general election ballot. He stated that he no longer “has the computer which I downloaded the campaign software on”, and he did not back up or copy the Online Reporting of Campaign Activities (ORCA) “software to a flash drive.” He added that he does “not have the information any longer to accurately file the missing reports.”</p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance. As noted above, Mr. Fellman’s 2018 Campaign failed to file any C-4 reports for the 2018 primary election, including the 21-Day and 7-Day Pre-Primary Election and Post Primary Election C-4 reports, which are statutorily required report filings. </p><p>However, Mr. Fellman’s failure to file any C-4 reports are mitigated by the following factors: (1) he was a first-time candidate for public office in 2018; (2) he served as his own Treasurer and self-funded his Campaign; (3) he did not have significant contribution and expenditure activities, and would have qualified for the Mini Reporting Option, if he had selected that option in 2018; and (4) the complaint was filed more than four years after Mr. Fellman had been defeated in a three way 2018 contested primary election, so public interest in the PDC obtaining this information four years after the fact is diminished.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the PDC issued a formal written warning to Tyson Fellman concerning the failure to file C-3 and C-4 reports disclosing contribution and expenditure activities undertaken in support of his 2018 candidacy, and for his failure to properly maintain his Campaign books of account as he acknowledged in his response. </p><p>The formal written warning includes staff’s expectation that Mr. Fellman will timely file the required C-3 and C-4 reports should he decide to run for public office in the future. Mr. Fellman will be advised that the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action, should there be future violations of PDC laws or rules. The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1114080.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Tyson Fellman Email Response to Complaint (PDC Case 111258).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5530/Tyson%20Fellman%20Email%20Response%20to%20Complaint%20%28PDC%20Case%20111258%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "111408 Fellman Tyson Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5530/111408%20Fellman%20Tyson%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Tyson Fellman Campaign Complaint Return Ltr with Warning (Edwards) PDC Case 111258.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5530/Tyson%20Fellman%20Campaign%20Complaint%20Return%20Ltr%20with%20Warning%20%28Edwards%29%20PDC%20Case%20111258.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]09/20/2022 11:52:30 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaint alleged that Cindy Gobel, a 2021 candidate for City Council for the City of Marysville, may have violated RCW 42.17A.240 for failure to disclose a political advertisement that was produced and mailed by the Campaign around July 19 or 20, 2021 on Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that, although Ms. Gobel is not a first-time candidate, she was unaware of the statutory requirement to disclose certain debts and orders placed at the time the services were agreed upon rather than when the invoice was received. During the investigation, staff found no evidence to suggest that the Respondent deliberately delayed disclosing the costs related to the July 2021 mailer or otherwise done to deceive the public.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely disclose an order placed as a debt does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Cindy Gobel will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely disclose an order placed for printing, postage and mailing of a mailer as a debt as required. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Ms. Gobel timely files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/976930.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "97693 Gobel Cindy Warning Letter - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4952/97693%20Gobel%20Cindy%20Warning%20Letter%20-%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "97693 Gobel Cindy Warning Letter - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4952/97693%20Gobel%20Cindy%20Warning%20Letter%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "97693 Gobel Cindy Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4952/97693%20Gobel%20Cindy%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "97693 Gobel Cindy Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4952/97693%20Gobel%20Cindy%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]11/08/2021 03:23:55 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(EY '21; Aug '21)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>A complaint was filed against Jack Dovey, a candidate for Federal Way City Council in 2021, alleging the Campaign may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 by failing to file a 7-Day Pre-Primary Summary Full Campaign Contributions and Expenditures report (C-4 report). </p><p>On July 13, 2021, the Campaign timely filed the 21-Day Pre-Primary Election C-4 report disclosing $704.92 in total candidate in-kind contributions had been received during the period. The in-kind contributions from Mr. Dovey were for stickers to place on old yard signs that were left-over from a prior campaign totaling $423, stickers for the Federal Way Police endorsement to attach to the signs totaling $246, and $35.72 for yard sign stakes. <br><br>On September 2, 2021, the Campaign filed an amended 21-Day Pre-Primary Election C-4 report disclosing the previously reported $704.92 candidate in-kind contributions but included an additional $3,198 for an additional candidate in-kind contribution. The $3,198 in-kind contribution was received from Mr. Dovey on July 5, 2021, disclosed the description of the in-kind contribution to print and mail 4,000 political advertisements, and listed the vendor as Steve Beren. <br><br>On September 2, 2021, the Campaign filed the 7-Day Pre-Primary Election C-4 report disclosing no contributions had been received or expenditures made during the period. </p><p>In addition, on September 2, 2021, the Campaign filed a C-3 report totaling $770 disclosing four itemized contributions that included a $100 contribution received from an individual, two $75 contributions were received two individuals and listing date of deposit as August 27, 2021. The C-3 report disclosed a $500 contribution had been received by the Campaign from the Federal Way Police Guild on June 30, 2021, which was held for more than five business days prior to being deposited by the Campaign. While the $500 contribution from the Guild was deposited and disclosed late, it was not spent by the Campaign on 2021 primary election activities. <br><br>Mr. Dovey stated that for the August 3, 2021, primary election he self-financed his campaign using “100 percent” of his personal funds to pay for Campaign expenditures. He stated he had some filing issues and found the reports that he thought he had filed, including the 7-Day Pre-Primary Election C-4 report, “were not actually filed as I did not submit them properly.” He also acknowledged that he did not timely deposit or disclose the $500 contribution he received from the Federal Way Police Guild.</p><p>Based on these findings, and the mitigating factors noted above, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any further enforcement action in this instance. <br><br>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the PDC is issuing a formal written warning to the 2021 Jack Dovey Campaign concerning the lack of timely and accurate filing of reports of contribution and expenditure activities undertaken in accordance with RCW 42.17A.235 and .240. The formal written warning includes staff’s expectation that the Jack Dovey Campaign will for the remainder of the 2021 election, and for future elections, timely and accurately file PDC reports disclosing contribution and expenditure activities as required by law. <br><br>The 2021 Jack Dovey Campaign will be advised that the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action, should there be future violations of PDC laws or rules.

(EY '19) (Nov '19)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>The PDC received a complaint alleging that Melissa Smith (the “Respondent”) may have violated RCW 42.17A.205 & .235 by failing to timely register as a candidate within two weeks of declaring candidacy & timely disclose contributions and expenditures undertaken by the campaign on C-3 & C-4 reports for election year 2019.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and evidence provided; the applicable statutes, rules and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; and the Respondent’s reporting history to determine whether they support a finding of one or more violations. Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>The Respondent publicly declared as a (write-in) candidate on or about October 9, 2019 and was therefore required to file a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) with the PDC within two weeks, or no later than October 23, 2019. The Respondent successfully filed a C-1 report with the PDC on December 13, 2019, after the election and 51 days late.</p><p>On her C-1 report, the Respondent selected the Mini-reporting Option, whereby a candidate’s campaign is not required to file C-3 & C-4 reports with the PDC if they raise & spend no more than $5,000 and receive no more than $500 from any one contributor. </p><p>In her response to the complaint, the Respondent indicated that a medical procedure & subsequent recovery contributed to noncompliance. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to timely register as a candidate does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. However, the PDC issued the Respondent a formal written Warning, including PDC staff's expectation that the Respondent will timely file all required reports in future years. The Commission will consider the formal written Warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.

The complaint alleged that IAFF Local 2781 PAC, a political committee registered with the PDC, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) for calendar years 2018 to 2023, disclosing contributions and expenditures, including an incorrect carry forward balance, and missing address information for contribution recipients.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by legal counsel, Derek Schoonmaker, on behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the late reporting was due to the oversight of the former volunteer treasurer and not done intentionally to conceal the PAC’s activities from the public. Staff noted that the Respondent began the work of completing all missing campaign reports prior to the receipt of the complaint. The Respondent worked with PDC Filer Assistance staff to complete reports disclosing campaign activity as required under the “Full Reporting” option, including activity from 2018, most of which is beyond the statute of limitations for enforcement action. Staff found no evidence that the Respondent purposely filed late or inaccurate reports to mislead or otherwise keep information from the public.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately file campaign reports for calendar year 2018 forward, including an incorrect carry forward and missing address information for contribution recipients resulting in necessary amendments, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, the Respondent will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurate disclosure of all contribution and expenditures. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that IAFF Local 2781 PAC timely files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures, including accurate carry forward balances and the inclusion of all required contact information on C-4 reports. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1418130.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141813 IAFF Local 2781 PAC Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6135/141813%20IAFF%20Local%202781%20PAC%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141813 IAFF Local 2781 PAC Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6135/141813%20IAFF%20Local%202781%20PAC%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141813 IAFF Local 2781 PAC Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6135/141813%20IAFF%20Local%202781%20PAC%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]12/05/2023 07:53:42 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The Executive Director's referral, in which Commission Chair David Ammons concurs, is based on PDC staff’s assessment, including information received from the Respondent, of a complaint received by the PDC on October 30, 2019, filed by Tallman Trask IV against Twitter, Inc., as discussed in the letter attached below. </p><p>Mr. Trask lodged a formal complaint with the PDC alleging that Twitter did not honor his requests to inspect the company’s books of account for certain political advertisements that were reported as placed through Twitter on reports of expenditures filed with the PDC (see complaint for specific sponsor and report information).</p><p><br>The PDC’s review to date of this matter has led PDC staff to the conclusion that the additional authority, resources and penalty discretion of the AGO under the Fair Campaign Practices Act (RCW 42.17A) are implicated and could be warranted.</p><p><br>The PDC received correspondence from counsel for Twitter, Inc., on June 9, 2020, in which counsel states, in part, that due to an “engineering issue”:</p><p>[A]<i>fter Twitter decided to ban political advertisements on its platform, Twitter de-certified political advertising accounts, and these accounts no longer have funding instruments associated with them. An unintended and unanticipated consequence of this de-certification process was that data previously stored within the database was lost or irretrievably corrupted. So even if Twitter once collected billing names associated with these political advertisements as a part of the billing process, Twitter no longer possesses this information.</i></p><p>Twitter cites similar “engineering issues” for the unavailability of other information commercial advertisers are required to maintain and make available for inspection, including complete sponsor addresses, payment dates, and demographics of audiences targeted and reached. See WAC 390-18-050.</p><p><br>Twitter further states that these engineering issues are “related to Twitter’s decision to stop accepting political advertisements starting November 22, 2019,” weeks after Mr. Trask’s complaint was filed with the PDC and nearly two months after Mr. Trask alleges he initially requested to inspect Twitter’s books of account.</p><p><br>Based on PDC staff’s assessment of the complaint, it appears that Twitter may have committed violations of RCW 42.17A. Further, Twitter appears to have—inadvertently, the company asserts—destroyed records relevant to the inquiry and required to be maintained for no less than five years after the date of the applicable election, RCW 42.17A.345.</p><p><br>Because these circumstances may warrant additional authority to ensure compliance and reach an appropriate resolution, the PDC referred this matter to the AGO, pursuant to RCW 42.17A.755(4).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/595210.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "59521 Twitter, Inc.

Specifically, the complaint alleged that the Thurston County Public Utility District (PUD) paid for Linda Oosterman to attend four Chamber of Commerce events in 2018, thereby potentially violating .555.</p><p>In the original complaint, Andrew Saturn alleged that the PUD’s general manager, John Weidenfeller, and the Thurston County PUD also violated RCW 42.17A.555 by authorizing the use of public office/agency facilities to assist the Linda Oosterman’s election campaign. Therefore:</p><ul><li>A separate case was opened to address the allegation made against John Weidenfeller (PDC Case 55699). </li><li>RCW 42.17A.555 prohibits specific types of individuals – namely elected or appointed officials and public agency or office employees – from engaging in certain activities. Whereas Thurston County PUD is not an individual, it cannot violate .555. Therefore, the allegation against Thurston County PUD was dismissed.</li></ul><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by Linda Oosterman (the “Respondent”); and the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>Based on the findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s use of public office/agency funds to pay for event that could directly or indirectly assist her election campaign does not amount to a violation warranting further investigation. </p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Linda Oosterman receives a formal written warning regarding the use of public office/agency facilities to assist an election campaign. The formal written warning included staff’s expectation that Linda Oosterman not use public office/agency facilities to pay for political, election-related events. The Commission may consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on the information, the PDC found that no further action is warranted and dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/538380.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "53838 Oosterman Linda Warning Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3078/53838%20Oosterman%20Linda%20Warning%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "53838 Oosterman Linda (6) Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3078/53838%20Oosterman%20Linda%20%286%29%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "53838 Oosterman Linda (6) Complaint supplemental.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3078/53838%20Oosterman%20Linda%20%286%29%20Complaint%20supplemental.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "53838 Oosterman Linda (6) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3078/53838%20Oosterman%20Linda%20%286%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "53838 Complaint Attach_PUD Expenses.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3078/53838%20Complaint%20Attach_PUD%20Expenses.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]01/30/2020 05:38:59 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The Committee was registered and reporting as a continuing political committee dating back to at least 2008.</li><li>Per RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, under the Full Reporting Option, the Committee was required to disclose contribution and expenditure information by submitting Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports and Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports to the PDC. The Committee’s due dates for the C-3 and C-4 reports are determined by its activity and participation in the election cycle.</li><li>Specific to reporting for 2018, the alleged violations are beyond the statute of limitations. Per RCW 42.17A.770, action must be started within five years after the date when the alleged violation occurred. </li><li>Amendments are insufficient evidence of late reporting. There are many reasons a committee might amend their reports and the mere presence of an amendment is not itself conclusive evidence of a violation. When considering C-3 and C-4s, these report amendments require inspection of the actual report to determine whether the committee has a requirement to report activity by a given date. As well, deciding if a report is late is not as simple as calculating the days late based on a periodic reporting timeline and when a report was filed but is fact specific to the campaign and its activities. In this instance, the evidence provided was insufficient to support the allegations of late or inaccurate reporting for the identified amended reports for years 2020, 2021, and 2022. </li><li>Of the non-amended reports due in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, outlined in the evidence provided, only one report showed a level of late-reported activity that would have deprived the public of critical information.</li><li>C-4 #100999531, for election year 2020, identifies a $345 expenditure for bookkeeping and $1350 in expenditures for campaign contributions to candidates. </li><li>In their response to the complaint, the Committee identified reporting issues experienced in 2018 and 2019 that caused their electronic reporting in the Online Reporting of Candidate Activity (ORCA) system to be filed in 2020. For 2022 the Committee has had substantial compliance and in 2023 the C-3 and C-4 reports have been filed timely on a monthly basis. The Committee does not appear to have participated in the 2023 election. </li><li>A mitigating factor of the late reporting was that in 2020 the Committee discovered that the accounting firm hired to assist with filing reports did not accurately file reports for 2018 and 2019. The Committee worked with their accountants and PDC staff to refile in the ORCA system reports originally filed in paper format. Committee staff responsible for PDC reporting also experienced significant difficulty with reporting because they were using multiple computers with the PDC reporting software causing reconciliation issues with program data stored on multiple computers. </li><li>The Committee has no other similar complaints or violations on record.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has decided that, in this instance, PACE – NASW WA’s failure to timely and accurately disclose contributions and expenditures on reports in election years 2019 to 2022 does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, PACE – NASW WA will receive a formal written warning concerning their failure to follow filing requirements for RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 when reporting in years 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. Staff expects PACE – NASW WA to file all required reports of contributions and expenditures in future years timely and accurately. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1418550.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141855 WA PACE Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6141/141855%20WA%20PACE%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141855 WA Political Action for Candidate Election PAC Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6141/141855%20WA%20Political%20Action%20for%20Candidate%20Election%20PAC%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "141855 Washington Political Action for Candidate election PAC Complaint Return Letter (combined)", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "141855 Washington Political Action for Candidate Election PAC Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6141/141855%20Washington%20Political%20Action%20for%20Candidate%20Election%20PAC%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]11/14/2023 12:44:47 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(Oct '19)RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - Local<p>The PDC received a complaint alleging that Kelly Geiger (the “Respondent”) may have violated RCW 42.17A.240 by failing to provide sufficient expenditure details on C-4 reports during election year 2017. PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; and the Respondent’s reporting history to determine whether they support a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>RCW 42.17A.240(6) requires candidates to report the name & address of each person to whom an expenditure is made in the aggregate amount of more than $50 during the period covered by the report, including the amount, date and purpose of each expenditure. Pursuant to WAC 390-16-037, expenditures disclosed on the C-4 report should be described “in detail,” including how the recipient of the expenditure (e.g. vendor) will use the goods and/or services purchased, and numerical descriptions (e.g. the number of items printed). </p><p>The Respondent filed four C-4 reports in 2017 that appeared to lack expenditure details regarding signs, political flyers, and handout/flyers. The Respondent amended the four C-4 reports to include the missing information on October 15, 2019.</p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to provide complete expenditure descriptions on C-4 reports does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. However, the PDC reminded the Respondent about the importance of providing detailed expenditure descriptions on C-4 reports. </p><p>The Respondent made minor or ministerial errors on required reports, which did not materially impact the public interest. Upon being notified of the errors, the Respondent quickly amended its reports, making the necessary technical corrections as requested by staff. The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/591540.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "59154 Geiger Kelly Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3313/59154%20Geiger%20Kelly%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "59154 Geiger Kelly Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3313/59154%20Geiger%20Kelly%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "59154 Geiger Kelly Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3313/59154%20Geiger%20Kelly%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]04/26/2021 01:27:21 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

He indicated a willingness to amend reports to resolve noncompliance and subsequently filed eight amended reports disclosing his candidate filing fee (which was paid with personal funds), expenditures made for banners and consulting services, and additional details regarding in-kind contributions. The amended reports were received 24-159 days late.</p><p>Based on the aggravating and mitigating factors in this case, PDC staff issued the Respondent a formal written Warning concerning his failure to timely register as a candidate and timely & accurately report expenditures & in-kind contributions.

(EY23, June23)RCW 29B.25.060/42.17A.220, RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>A complaint was filed against Kristina Mitchell, a candidate seeking the office of Snohomish County Council, Position #2 in 2023, alleging that the 2023 Kristina Mitchell Campaign violated: (1) RCW 42.17.220 by receiving, depositing, and reporting anonymous contributions that exceeded the statutory allowable limits; and (2) RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file contribution and expenditure reports for the 2023 Campaign. </p><p>On May 21, 2023, Kristina Mitchell filed a Candidate Registration with the PDC declaring her candidacy for election to the office of Snohomish County Council, Position #2, selecting the Full Reporting option, and listing herself as Campaign Treasurer. Ms. Mitchell is a first-time candidate seeking public office in 2023.</p><p>Specifically, the complaint alleged that the that the 2023 Kristina Michell for County Council Campaign (Campaign) disclosed receiving $4,169 in total anonymous contributions, that amount significantly exceeded the anonymous contribution limits, and represented almost 25% of the total contributions initially disclosed by the Campaign. In addition, you alleged the Campaign failed to provide the addresses for several contributors and Campaign vendors disclosed on the C-3 and C-4 reports. </p><p>In her response, Ms. Mitchell stated that the allegation in the complaint concerning exceeding the anonymous contribution limits were incorrect and her Campaign did not really receive or deposit that amount, and they were instead pledges that had been made by individuals to her Campaign. She confirmed her Campaign did not receive or deposit that large number of anonymous contributions, and that most of the funds initially disclosed as anonymous, had been incorrectly entered by her into the Online Report of Campaign Activities (ORCA) program and were actually pledges received by her Campaign.</p><p>Ms. Mitchell stated that the pledges from contributors came with the caveat or contingency that the pledges would be paid or otherwise redeemed only if the Campaign met the goal of making it onto the general election ballot. </p><p>The Campaign incorrectly filed a June 2023 C-4 report early on June 11, 2023, despite being under the accelerated reporting requirement and required to file a 21-day and 7-day Pre-Primary C-4 reports. The C-4 report that was filed by the Campaign contained several errors and disclosed a total of $16, 2145 in total contributions received that included $9,300 in new monetary contributions received, $1,200 in in-kind contributions received, and $11,165 in total expenditures that included $5,875 in new expenditures and a cash on hand balance of $5,049. </p><p>Ms. Mitchell stated she believed she went through and fixed the errors that occurred when she was re-entering the contribution and expenditure information into the ORCA program. The Campaign filed the June amended C-4 and the amended C-3 reports on July 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and the 20th, attempting to correct the incorrect information disclosed on the prior reports. </p><p>Ms. Mitchell acknowledged that she had no experience with ORCA or the candidate reporting requirements as a first-time candidate and treasurer. She confirmed the issues she had in using ORCA were with the “Pledges, In-kind, and Non-monetary donations” screen, and that when she attempted to enter the pledged information into the program, not knowing what she was doing she somehow entered the pledges information as anonymous contributions and filed the reports. </p><p>Ms. Mitchell thought she followed the prompts to enter the information, but noted the ORCA “software does not allow you to move to the next step if you are in the wrong tab.” She stated ORCA allowed her to leave “detailed notes” on the C-4 reports, which PDC’s review confirmed that she did do to clarify that the reports contained errors. </p><p>Ms. Mitchell stated that in addition to the anonymous contribution issues she had, other information she entered into ORCA incorrectly, ended up disclosing those activities as “in kind donations” and as such they were automatically included as an expenditure. She “was confused why it did that in ORCA program rather than entering the information into the pledges tab.” And what was really confused to her was when she saw the complaint was alleging report discrepancies for the total contributions received which was “something like 17k dollars.”</p><p>Ms. Mitchell stated that there was “no way have I been that lucky to have raised hat much money. But what was a concern to me is the amount the report said I had spent. There was no way I had spent 14k dollars either.” She stated that none of the pledges that were incorrectly reported by her as anonymous contributions “have been collected” and that she incorrectly reported that “all wrong” when they were listed as anonymous contributions. </p><p>Ms. Mitchell stated she “made a mistake, and the system (sic meaning ORCA) did its own thing” and she reiterated that she included the notes at the bottom of the C-4 reports acknowledging that she was aware the information being disclosed was not accurate. She stated that she added the notes listed on the reports so that the public would have record of it in her reports, and that her “intent was not to mislead.”</p><p>The final amended C-3 and C-4 reports that were filed by the Campaign on July 20, 2023, 10 days prior to the August 1, 2023 primary election being held, disclosed the Campaign raised $4,394.99 in total contributions received and $2,607 in total expenditures made. </p><p>Those contribution and expenditure totals filed on the amended reports are almost four times less than the total contributions and expenditures initially reported in June of 2023, so the public was likely confused by the discrepancies in the totals…(Peter not sure if this is needed, and if yes how we wanted to word this since it ties in with the WAC 390-37-143 which I cite below). </p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing further enforcement action in this instance. As noted above, Ms. Mitchell is a first-time candidate for public office, served as her own Treasurer, and acknowledged that the $4,169 in total anonymous contributions initially disclosed by the Campaign were listed in error. She stated that those contributions were never received but were instead verbal pledges that she received from contributors to the Campaign and were below the $200 disclosure threshold for pledges. </p><p>After being informed of the complaint, the anonymous contributions limits and that it appeared there were discrepancies and incorrect information included on the C-3 and C-4 reports filed by the Campaign, Ms. Mitchell’s Campaign filed amended C-3 reports correcting the previously disclosed anonymous and monetary contribution totals and the C-4 reports for the proper contribution and expenditure totals. </p><p>WAC 390-37-143(2)(d) states that aggravating or mitigating factors can be analyzed to assist in determining the resolution of a particular matter, include the following: “The impact on the public, including whether the noncompliance deprived the public of timely or accurate information during a time sensitive period, or otherwise had a significant or material impact on the public.”</p><p>In accordance with WAC 390-37-060(1)(d) and the rule referenced above, PDC staff is issuing a formal written warning to Kristina Mitchell concerning the requirement to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports, properly enter the contribution and expenditure information into the ORCA program, and to adhere to the anonymous contribution limits, in all future Campaigns. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws and rules. </p><p>PDC staff is dismissing this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1393480.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Kristina Mitchell Response (Townsell) PDC Case 139348.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5964/Kristina%20Mitchell%20Response%20%28Townsell%29%20PDC%20Case%20139348.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Michell Kristina Complaint Return Letter (Townsell) PDC Case 139348.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5964/Michell%20Kristina%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28Townsell%29%20PDC%20Case%20139348.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "139348 Mitchell Kristina Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5964/139348%20Mitchell%20Kristina%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]09/19/2023 02:48:10 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>The Respondent declared candidacy with Elections officials on May 14, 2019 and was due to file a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) with the PDC no later than May 29, 2019. The Respondent filed a C-1 report on December 10, 2019, after the general election and 195 days late. </p><p>On his C-1, the Respondent selected the mini-reporting option whereby a candidate’s campaign is not required to file C-3 & C-4 reports with the PDC if they raise & spend no more than $5,000 and receive no more than $500 from any one contributor. </p><p>The Respondent indicated his failure to timely file a Candidate Registration was based on a misunderstanding that he was not required to file a C-1 report if his campaign did not receive any contributions. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to timely register as a candidate does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.

The complaint alleged that Mike Hadaller, a 2022 candidate for Commissioner for Lewis County Public Utility District 01 may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.205 & WAC 390-16-125 by exceeding mini reporting limitation and failing to update the Committee Registration Statement (C-1 report); and (2) RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the responses provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>The Respondent was a first-time candidate in the 2022 election. Upon receipt of the October 19, 2022, complaint, the Hadaller Campaign filed C-3 and C-4 reports and amend as necessary to accurately disclose all campaign activity. It appears that the exceeding of mini reporting limits was due to the limited experience of the Respondent and not done intentionally to mislead the public.

559111347210/16/202210/16/202201/10/2023Scott McGillCity of University PlaceCity of University Place: Alleged Violation of RCW 42.17A.555 for authorizing the use of public funds to support or oppose a ballot proposition (OCT'22 EY'22).RCW 29B.45.010/42.17A.555Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsPublic Agency - Local<p>On October 17, 2022, the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) received a complaint alleging that the City of University Place officials, may have violated RCW 42.17A.555 by using the facilities/resources of a public agency to promote a ballot proposition. </p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following: </p><p>On July 18, 2022, the City of University (City) approved Resolution No. 980, a Resolution of the City Council of the City authorizing a levy lid lift be placed on the November 2022 general election ballot for support of law enforcement services. </p><p>RCW 42.17A.555 prohibits public officials and agencies from using or authorizing the use of facilities, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of promoting or opposing candidates or ballot propositions/measures. This prohibition does not apply to activities that are part of the normal and regular conduct of the public/local agency, as defined in WAC 390-05-273. </p><p>You alleged that the City used its facilities to support a ballot measure/proposition, by mailing to the residents of the City, what appeared to be a promotional fact sheet related to the ballot proposition. Specifically, you appear to take issue with the section of the fact sheet titled “Where do my taxes go?” that also depicts a dollar bill sign. </p><p>In its response to the complaint, the City, by way of Matthew Kaser, City Attorney, stated: “The mailing attached to the complaint is the City’s ‘one jurisdiction-wide objective and fair presentation of the facts per ballot measure.’ Because the original complaint contained only excerpts of the mailing, I’ve attached the version which went to the printers. As you’ll note, the content omitted from the original complaint contains the details of the City Council’s actions, fact relative to the need, and what the funds would be used for, if the measure passes. We assume that the complainant takes issue with inclusion of the ‘dollar bill,’ wherein we break out where a resident’s property tax bill goes. The ‘dollar bill,’ had long been a part of the City’s communication with its residents. It is updated by the City’s Finance Department annually and has been posted on the City’s website for many years. To highlight a few examples and to give some sense of how frequently this is communicated with our residents, we include this in our bi-weekly Headlines newsletter. As an example, in the February 17, 2021edition, we include in an article captioned “Update on Taxes in U.P.” The City includes it on its website as it communicates property tax information to the public.” Also in its response, the city further noted that “To the extent that issue is taken with the text accompanying the dollar bill, substantial portions of it were taken from the Explanatory Statement, which was provided to voters by the Pierce County Auditor and contained within the local voters’ guide (copy attached). To our knowledge, there was no appeal (see RCW 29A.32.230) filed with either the County Auditor or Pierce County Superior Court of the Explanatory Statement.”</p><p>Staff reviewed the ballot proposition fact sheet in its entirety, including the section about “Where do my taxes go?” and noted that the City adhered to the fair and objective standard in representing the facts about the proposition, and how much the levy lid would cost the residents of the City. The fact sheet describes the need and how the funds will be used in a fair and objective manner. The fact sheet also provides the cost for an average priced home and appears to be in line with PDC Interpretation 04-02. </p><p>Based on the above review, staff determined that no evidence supported a finding of a violation that would warrant further investigation. </p><p>Accordingly, PDC staff found that no further action was warranted and dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1)(a).</p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1134720.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "113472 City of University Place Complaint Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5591/113472%20City%20of%20University%20Place%20Complaint%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113472 City of University Place Complaint Return Letter....pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5591/113472%20City%20of%20University%20Place%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter....pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}, {"file_name" : "113472 City of University Place Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5591/113472%20City%20of%20University%20Place%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "113472 City of University Place Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]07/20/2024 10:59:56 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

(May23, EY23)RCW 29B.45.010/42.17A.555Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - Local<p>A complaint was filed against Leslie Hamada, an incumbent Kent School District School Director, and a candidate for re-election to that office in 2023, alleging violations of RCW 42.17A.555 by using the facilities of the Kent School District (KSD), when she included her KSD email address and telephone number as the contact information on her Facebook page, which was alleged was to support her candidacy for re-election.</p><p>On January 13, 2023, Leslie Hamada filed a Candidate Registration seeking re-election to the office Kent School Director, Position #3 for the 2023 election cycle. Ms. Hamada selected the Mini Reporting Option, which does not require her to file any campaign finance reports, and listed Glen Hamada as Treasurer. </p><p>Ms. Hamada was a 2017 candidate for School Director for the Kent School District and elected to the Kent School Board. In addition, she previously filed as a candidate for State Representative in the 47th Legislative District in 2008, and as School Director in 2011, but was not elected. </p><p>Ms. Hamada stated that she has two Facebook (FB) accounts, that both are hers personally and “paid for and managed by me. Leslie4Kids is a FB page I set up a few years ago to just keep the community abreast of what I was doing as Board Director for the Kent School District (KSD) which I was elected to do 4 years ago.”</p><p>Ms. Hamada stated that she honestly never thought of her Leslie4Kids Facebook page as a campaign page, and that “no KSD funds were used to set it up, manage, or do campaign work on.” She stated that she “never campaigned on this site purposely or did the Kent School District contribute any money or management to run this site.”</p><p>Ms. Hamada stated she “purchased and kept records on the website that was definitely used for campaign purposes” through the Campaign expenditures she made to Go Daddy and the URL to purchase a site. She stated that paid for, managed the site, and reported it as expenditure for her campaign (<a href="http://www.lesliehamada.com/">http://www.lesliehamada.com</a>). </p><p>Ms. Hamada stated that after receiving the email from PDC staff about the complaint, she immediately double checked the Facebook site contact information and made the correction listed her personal email and telephone number. She stated that she “never intended it be used for campaign purposes----only a vehicle of communication while doing my job as a Board Director.”</p><p>Ms. Hamada stated that really used the Facebook page “to contact me in that manner” and that “in no way was I trying to use government entity to pay for any campaign usage or expense.” She added that she “completely took down this FB account Leslie4Kids ---as of 6/22/2023 and will be using my official campaign website for my campaign going forward.”</p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of further violations that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any enforcement action in this instance. However, staff is reminding Leslie Hamada concerning the prohibitions found in RCW 42.17A.555 against using Kent School District resources and facilities, including school district email addresses and telephone numbers as contact information, to support her candidacy for re-election in 2023, or to support or oppose any other candidate or ballot proposition.</p><p>The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1383810.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "138381 Hamada Leslie Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5830/138381%20Hamada%20Leslie%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Leslie Hamada Complaint Resolution Ltr (PDC Case 138831).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5830/Leslie%20Hamada%20Complaint%20Resolution%20Ltr%20%20%28PDC%20Case%20138831%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Reminder"}, {"file_name" : "Leslie Hamada Response (PDC Case 138831).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5830/Leslie%20Hamada%20Response%20%28PDC%20Case%20138831%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]06/29/2023 09:43:55 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

(EY21; July21)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240, RCW 29B.40.130/42.17A.445Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>A complaint was against Jimmy Matta, incumbent Burien Mayor and a candidate seeking re-election to the Burien City Council in 2021, alleging that the 2021 Jimmy Matta Campaign (Campaign) may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 for failure to timely and accurately disclose expenditures on Summary Full Campaign Contributions and Expenditures report (C-4 reports), including a $6,200 candidate loan for the general election on a Monetary Contributions report (C-3 report); and (2) RCW 42.17.445 by making expenditures using contributions received by the Campaign for activities that were not directly related to the 2021 campaign.</p><p>The complaint alleged that there was a discrepancy in the final cash on hand balance for the 2017 Campaign, and the beginning balance of the 2021 re-election effort, and that the funds had been spent for Mayor Matta’s personal use. The Campaign stated that after reviewing the allegation, they requested the Campaign bank statements from BECU, and found two transactions which occurred between the 2017 ending and the start of the 2021 Campaign that did not get disclosed, when changes were made in the management structure for the 2021 election. </p><p>Based on those changes the Campaign inadvertently failed to report: (1) a $125 contribution that was made in January of 2018 to the 34th District Democrats using 2017 Surplus funds; and (2) a $178.54 expenditure that had been made to Overnight Printing on April 5, 2018 to print 400 “walking pieces” used by the 2017 Campaign. The Campaign filed a new April 2018 C-4 report disclosing the $178.54 expenditure to Overnight Printing, and an amended January 2018 C-4 report disclosing a $125 expenditure made to the 34th District Democrats using surplus funds. No evidence was found that these funds were used for Mayor Matta’s personal benefit as alleged in the complaint. </p><p>The complaint also alleged the Campaign failed to timely and properly disclose candidate loans made during the 2021 election cycle. On April 2, 2021, the Campaign timely filed: (1) a Monetary Contributions report (C-3 report) disclosing that on March 19, 2021, the Campaign received a $6,200 loan from Jimmy Matta, that was attributed to the 2021 primary election; and (2) the March 2021 C-4 report disclosing $6,200 in monetary contributions received during the period, $2,588 in expenditures made, and $12,400 in outstanding liabilities on line #18. The C-4 report included an attached Loan Document (PDC Schedule L) that disclosed on March 19, 2021 the Campaign received two $6,200 candidate loans from Jimmy Matta totaling $12,400. However, the March 2021 C-4 report only listed $6,200 in total contributions received during the period. <br><br>On June 6, 2021, the Campaign filed a C-3 report disclosing that on March 19, 2021, the Campaign received a $6,200 loan from Jimmy Matta that was attributed to the 2021 general election. The C-3 report was required to have been filed by the Campaign no later than April 10, 2021 and was filed 56 days late. The Campaign timely filed the April and May 2021 C-4 reports, and the 21-Day and 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 reports, with each C-4 report disclosing $12,400 in outstanding candidate loans were owed to Jimmy Matta, $6,200 per election. <br><br>The Campaign subsequently determined the candidate loan repayment limits were $6,000 per election, and reattributed $200 from each of the candidate loans as candidate contributions. On September 10, 2021, the Campaign timely filed the 2021 Post-Primary Election C-4 report disclosing that on August 1, 2021, Jimmy Matta forgave $6,000 of the $12,000 loan amount. As of August 2, 2021, the Campaign owed Jimmy Matta a total of $6,000 in outstanding candidate loans. </p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined, in this instance, the allegations concerning the failure to timely disclose two expenditures made by the 2017 Campaign after the 2017 election in early 2018, and a $6,200 candidate loan made on March 19, 2021, and designated for the general election, do not amount to a violation warranting further investigation or further enforcement action. <br><br>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Jimmy Matta will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely disclose two Campaign expenditures related to the 2017 campaign, and the $6,200 candidate loan designated for the 2021 general election. The formal written warning includes staff’s expectation that Jimmy Matta will, in the future, timely and accurately file PDC reports disclosing contribution and expenditure activities s as required by law, including candidate loans.

(EY '23; Aug '23)RCW 29B.25.060/42.17A.220Resolved through Statement of Understanding (SOU)Candidate - Local<p>This case alleged a violation of RCW 42.17A.220(4) by exceeding anonymous contribution limits. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and evidence submitted; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by Jeannette Twitty (the “Respondent”); the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and other relevant information to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Based on our <strong>attached</strong> findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, misclassifying monetary contributions as anonymous contributions, and failure to timely and accurately report contributions and expenditures are not violations that warrant further investigation. </p><p>On March 28, 2024, Jeannette Twitty completed a <i>Statement of Understanding</i> (SOU) and paid a $200 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.220(4) by incorrectly classifying monetary contributions as anonymous contributions on C-3 reports for election year 2023. The $200 penalty assessed resolves the allegation regarding over-limit anonymous contributions listed in the complaint.</p><p>Furthermore, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Jeannette Twitty received a formal written warning concerning her failure to timely and accurately disclose all contributions and expenditures on reports. This formal written warning included staff’s expectation that Jeannette Twitty will timely file accurate reports of contributions and expenditures in the future, especially during the time-sensitive periods before and after an election. The Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>PDC staff reminded Jeannette Twitty about the importance of 1) maintaining accurate records of contributors per RCW 42.17A.235(6)(a); 2) monitoring anonymous contributions to ensure they do not exceed the limits set forth in RCW 42.17A.220(4); and 3) returning anonymous contributions prior to deposit if accepting them would cause the committee to exceed limits. Staff also reminded Ms. Twitty to submit amended reports within 21 days of the original filings, when possible; and include sufficient expenditure descriptions on C-4 reports, in accordance with the PDC laws, rules and guidance. </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/141053200.000.000.00200.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141053 Twitty Jeannette Initial Hearing Results (Complainant).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6088/141053%20Twitty%20Jeannette%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20%28Complainant%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141053 Twitty Jeannette Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6088/141053%20Twitty%20Jeannette%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141053 Twitty Jeannette SOU.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6088/141053%20Twitty%20Jeannette%20SOU.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "141053 Twitty Jeannette BAP Hearing Notice.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6088/141053%20Twitty%20Jeannette%20BAP%20Hearing%20Notice.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141053 Twitty Jeannette SOU Warning Reminder letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6088/141053%20Twitty%20Jeannette%20SOU%20Warning%20Reminder%20letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141053 Twitty Jeannette Initial Hearing Results (Respondent).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6088/141053%20Twitty%20Jeannette%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20%28Respondent%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141053 Twitty Jeannette Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6088/141053%20Twitty%20Jeannette%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}][{"who" : "Twitty, Jeannette", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2024-04-02", "amount" : 200.00, "description" : "Statement of Understanding", "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2024-03-28", "amount" : 200.00, "description" : "PAID - SOU"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]04/23/2025 10:10:21 AMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

The complaint alleged that Christina Riley, a candidate for Lewis County Commissioner, Position 2 in the 2024 election, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Treasurer, Conner Edwards, on behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Christina Riley is a first-time candidate and, prior to receipt of the complaint, was serving as her own treasurer. Staff found that although the Respondent filed some C-3 and C-4 reports after their due date, the reports contained limited activity and were filed more than six months prior to the August 6, 2024, primary election. No evidence was found that the late reporting was done to intentionally conceal campaign activity from the public.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately submit C-4 reports disclosing a minor amount in expenditures and in-kind contributions does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Christina Riley will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately disclose expenditures made by the 2024 Riley Campaign.

Activities that are “part of the normal and regular conduct of the office or agency” are exempted from this prohibition.</p><p>Following some comments made by School Board Director, Ed Husmann – who was also a candidate for re-election in the 2019 General Election – at an October 28, 2019 board meeting, the Respondent distributed a statement to District parents, students and community members on November 1, 2019 stating that “comments made by a Sultan School District Board Director…do not reflect the Sultan School District’s Mission, Vision, Goals and Guiding Beliefs for and about our students.” The school board member was not mentioned by name in the statement – which was distributed via the District’s Facebook page and website – nor did it contain any references to the upcoming election or any participating candidates. </p><p>Ed Husmann (the “Complainant”) stated his belief that the small community of Sultan would know to whom the Respondent referred, despite not being named in the statement, which he believes was politically motivated, “influenced voters,” and assisted the election campaign of his opponent, Heidi Dawson, who filed as a write-in candidate the same day the Respondent’s statement was released to the public.</p><p>The Respondent denied attempting to influence the General Election and said his November 1, 2019 statement was made in direct response to “intense negative press coverage and public reaction” following the Complainant’s October 28, 2019 comments. He also stated that communicating with the Sultan community regarding the District’s programs and policies and responding to press coverage were part of his job. The District and the Respondent routinely share information with parents, students and community members by posting messages via the District’s website and Facebook page. </p><p>The evidence provided fails to conclusively show how the Respondent’s statement, which did not mention candidates or the upcoming election, assisted an election campaign. Furthermore, absent any evidence to the contrary, the statement made by the Respondent appears to constitute normal & regular conduct for the District and would therefore be exempt from the prohibition on use of facilities set forth in .555. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, no evidence supports a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation. The PDC dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/612600.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "VoiceMail_11_1_2019 (3).mp3", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3419/VoiceMail_11_1_2019%20%283%29.mp3", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "61260 Chaplik Dan Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3419/61260%20Chaplik%20Dan%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "61260 Chaplik Dan Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3419/61260%20Chaplik%20Dan%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "61260 Chaplik Dan Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3419/61260%20Chaplik%20Dan%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "10-28-2019 Board Discussion Overlake 5 minutes (1).mp4", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3419/10-28-2019%20Board%20Discussion%20Overlake%205%20minutes%20%281%29.mp4", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]03/17/2021 05:34:00 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

Mr. Kurcinka filed a declaration of candidacy on May 15, 2023, followed up by a Candidate Registration (C-1) on May July 28, 2023. The candidate was granted permission to convert their Mini Reporting option to the Full Reporting option.</li><li>RCW 42.17A.320 states, “all written political advertising, whether relating to candidates or ballot propositions, shall include the sponsor’s name and address.” The statute exempts yard signs and other forms of political advertising where sponsor identification is impractical. The information required to appear on political advertising shall appear on the first page or fold of the written advertisement or communication in at least ten-point type, or in type at least ten percent of the largest size type used in a written advertisement or communication directed at more than one voter, such as a billboard or poster, whichever is larger; not be subject to the half-tone or screening process; and be set apart from any other printed matter. No text may be before, after, or immediately adjacent to the information required. WAC 390-18-010 further clarifies and explains the requirements for sponsor identification and political advertising.</li><li>Sponsor identification, is an important piece of political advertising that gives the public information about who sponsored the ad. The sponsor is the person who arranges for the ad or pays for the ad to be displayed or broadcast. A candidate or candidate committee sponsoring an ad about the committee uses the words “paid for by” or “sponsored by” followed by the name of the candidate committee and address.</li><li>Mailers and a door hanger distributed by the Kurcinka campaign identified the candidate by name, but it was not clear who paid for the advertising, and the candidate committee address was missing from the materials.</li><li>Josh Kurcinka does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to provide complete sponsor identification on political advertising does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Josh Kurcinka will receive a formal written warning concerning their failure to provide complete sponsor identification on political advertising. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Mr. Kurcinka will, in the future, follow all applicable requirements related to sponsor identification on political advertising. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1445830.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "DRAFT Kurcinka Josh Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6297/DRAFT%20Kurcinka%20Josh%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "144583 Kurcinka_Josh complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "144583 Kurcinka_Josh Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6297/144583%20Kurcinka_Josh%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "144583 Kurcinka_Josh Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6297/144583%20Kurcinka_Josh%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]03/13/2024 04:14:08 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

In addition, the January 2018 C-4 report filed by the Committee disclosed $49,627 in surplus 2017 Committee funds were carried forward into calendar year 2018, which further confirmed that those had not been spent in 2017. </p><p>Based on this finding staff determined that, in this instance, accepting a contribution exceeding $5,000 from a single source within twenty-one days of a general election, does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. </p><p>However, staff reminded the Committee about the importance of the statutory restriction on accepting contributions exceeding $5,000 from a single source within twenty-one days of a general election, including all other applicable statutes and rules. </p><p>Based on this information, staff dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/592380.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "59238 Seattle Firefighters Union Local 27 Voluntary PAC Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3328/59238%20Seattle%20Firefighters%20Union%20Local%2027%20Voluntary%20PAC%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "59238 Seattle Fire Fighters Union Local 27 Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3328/59238%20Seattle%20Fire%20Fighters%20Union%20Local%2027%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "59238 Seattle Firefighters Union, Local 27 Voluntary PAC Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3328/59238%20Seattle%20Firefighters%20Union%2C%20Local%2027%20Voluntary%20PAC%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]01/10/2020 02:32:37 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The organization was formed in 2008 under IRS laws, and regularly files disclosure reports with the IRS and with state filing agencies -- as dictated by its activities.” </p><p>Stephen J. Kaufman, with the Kaufman Legal Group, a California law firm and legal counsel for DASS, stated that when DASS initially filed its 21-Day Pre-General C-4 report, the report only disclosed DASS’s activities in support of Washington State candidates. He stated that <i>“in the good faith belief that this is what the law required. DASS’ total expenditures to support Secretary of State candidate Gael Tarleton in the amount of $204,150 represent only 16.1% of DASS’ over-all expenditures to date.”</i></p><p>Mr. Kaufman stated the majority of DASS’ funding is from individuals making small contributions, and that for January 1 through August 31, 2020 (September 1, 2020 is the date the Registration was filed) DASS <i>“received 16,692 contributions totaling $629,161.79 (the average contribution being $38) from individuals across the country, representing 58% of the money raised by DASS this year. Of those, 1,321 contributions totaling $28,592.57 were from Washington residents</i>.”</p><p>On October 27, 2020, DASS filed an amended 21-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report and the 7-Day Pre-General Election disclosing DASS contribution and expenditure activities undertaken from all over the United States, rather than just expenditures in support of Gael Tarleton that were disclosed on the earlier version of the report. </p><p>As noted by Mr. Kaufman, the expenditures made in support of Gael Tarleton only represented 16.1 percent of all expenditures made during the 2020 election cycle, and the remaining DASS expenditures included: (1) $317,400 for radio ads in support of the Democratic candidate for Missouri Secretary of State; (2) $120,000 in monetary contributions were made to Shamia Fagan, a candidate for Oregon Secretary of State; (3) $93,750 were made for digital ads in support of the Democratic candidate for Montana Secretary of State; and (4) $80,750 were made for digital ads in support of the Democratic candidate for West Virginia Secretary of State.</p><p>On October 25, 2020, DASS filed a C-6 report disclosing an $83,650 expenditure made to SKDNICKERBOCKER on October 8, 2020 for digital ads presented to the public on October 14, 2020, in support of Gael Tarleton. DASS was required to file the C-6 report within 24 hours of the advertisements being presented to the public or no later than October 15, 2020, and the C-6 report was filed 10 days late.</p><p>On October 26, 2020, DASS filed a C-6 disclosing a total of $118,500 for three expenditures in support of Gael Tarleton, that included: (1) a $74,000 expenditure made to SKDNICKERBOCKER on October 19, 2020 for digital ads presented to the public on October 20, 2020; and (2) two expenditures totaling $44,500 made to Sadler Strategic Media, Inc. for radio ads presented to the public on October 22, 2020. DASS was required to file the C-6 report within 24 hours of the advertisements being presented to the public or no later than October 21 and October 23, 2020 respectively, and the C-6 reports were filed between three to five days late.</p><p>Concerning the remaining allegations, Mr. Kaufman stated that once again as soon as PDC staff notified DASS about the complaint, they filed amended C-4 reports providing the required expenditure details for the independent expenditures made including payments to committee sub-vendors prior to the general election. He stated DASS has internal controls and procedures in place “to ensure that no foreign money” is received and added that when DASS processes contributions it requires contributors “<i>to certify that they are U.S. citizens.”</i></p><p>Mr. Kaufman stated DASS solicits and accepts contributions from all over the United States and supports candidates all around the country, but added that the contributions solicited and received by DASS<i> “are not earmarked for particular uses, and the organization does not solicit funds to support particular candidates.”</i></p><p>An Initial Hearing (Case Review Status) was held on January 6, 2021, and PDC staff opened a formal investigation against DASS. Staff's review and investigation found the following.</p><p>On January 11, 2021, PDC staff processed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) completed by DASS acknowledging two violations of RCW 42.17A.260 for failing to timely file C-6 reports during the 2020 election cycle, and paying a $300 civil penalty in accordance with the Penalty Schedule adopted by the Commission for Brief Enforcement Hearings set forth in WAC 390-37-143.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/78774300.000.000.00300.000.00false[{"file_name" : "78774 Democratic Assn of Secretaries of State (2) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3743/78774%20Democratic%20Assn%20of%20Secretaries%20of%20State%20%282%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "78774 Democratic Assn of Secretaries of State (2) Complaint Supplement.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3743/78774%20Democratic%20Assn%20of%20Secretaries%20of%20State%20%282%29%20Complaint%20Supplement.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Democratic Assn of Sec of States Response to complaint Letter (PDC Case 78774).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3743/Democratic%20Assn%20of%20Sec%20of%20States%20Response%20to%20complaint%20Letter%20%28PDC%20Case%2078774%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "DASS Complaint Return Letter resolved with SOU and Reminder (Morgan) PDC Case 78774.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3743/DASS%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20resolved%20with%20SOU%20and%20Reminder%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20Case%2078774.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Demo Assn of Secretary of States 78774 SOU.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3743/Demo%20Assn%20of%20Secretary%20of%20States%2078774%20SOU.pdf", "description" : "Demo Assn of Secretary of States", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}][{"who" : "Democratic Assn Secretaries of State", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2021-01-30", "amount" : 300.00, "description" : "Statement of Understanding", "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2021-01-08", "amount" : 300.00, "description" : "PAID - SOU"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]04/08/2021 10:28:48 AMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

The complaint alleged that Auburn Citizens for Schools (ACS), a political committee registered with the PDC in 2016 to support a bond and in 2020 to support a levy, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) disclosing expenditures for election years 2016 & 2020; and (2) RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately report carry forward cash for election years 2016 & 2020.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the responses provided by committee president, Cari Manry, and committee treasurer, Margaret Keller, for ACS (“the Respondent”); the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the late and incomplete reporting was due to a general lack of knowledge with PDC laws, rules and reporting software, and not done to conceal the campaign activities of ACS.

The Post-Primary Election C-4 report was not due to have been filed until September 10, 2021 and was inadvertently filed early by mistake by the Campaign instead of filing an amended 7-Day Pre-Primary Election C-4 report.</p><p> On September 7, 2021, the Campaign filed an amended 7-Day Pre-Primary Election C-4 report disclosing new expenditure information totaling $4,242.74, that included: (1) a $2,102.25 expenditure made to the Bainbridge Island Review on July 16, 2021, for a newspaper advertisement that ran on July 30, 2021; and (2) a $1,000 expenditure made to the Bainbridge Island Review on July 16, 2021, for banner newspaper advertisements that ran during the period July 18 through 24, 2021.</p><p>On September 7, 2021, the Campaign timely filed an amended Post-Primary Election C-4 report disclosing two in-kind contributions that included a $90 in-kind contribution from the candidate for “used coreplast signs” that he had saved from his 2015 campaign for Bainbridge City Council, and addressed one of the complaint allegations. </p><p>Mr. Peltier stated his 2021 Campaign is using yard signs that “were purchased during my last campaign for city council, which was in 2015, and were saved and now being re-used in the current election.” He stated there was no money spent for those yard signs this year and added there were about 20 total signs leftover from 2015.</p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing further enforcement action in this instance. However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the PDC is issuing a formal written warning to the 2021 Ronald Peltier Campaign concerning the lack of timely and accurate filing of reports of contribution and expenditure activities undertaken by the Campaign, in accordance with RCW 42.17A.235 and .240. </p><p>The 2021 Ronald Peltier Campaign will be advised that the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action, should there be future violations of PDC laws or rules. <br>The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/979490.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "97949 Peltier Ronald Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4958/97949%20Peltier%20Ronald%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Peltier, Ronald Complaint Return with Warning Letter (Llewellyn) PDC Case 97949.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4958/Peltier%2C%20Ronald%20Complaint%20Return%20with%20Warning%20Letter%20%28Llewellyn%29%20PDC%20Case%2097949.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Ronald Peltier Campaign Email Responses to Complaint (PDC Case 97949).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4958/Ronald%20Peltier%20Campaign%20Email%20Responses%20to%20Complaint%20%28PDC%20Case%2097949%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]10/05/2021 09:22:10 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The late filed reports disclosed that the Respondent contributed a total of $1,600 to seven 2019 local candidates and made two $1,000 monetary contributions to the 2020 campaigns of Jay Inslee and Bob Ferguson respectively. </p><p>The Respondent indicated the late reports were the result of the early 2019 resignation of its office manager and a lack of “trained staff to handle reporting.” The Respondent’s new office manager filed the required C-4 reports with the PDC, bringing it into compliance five days before the General Election and four days before being notified that a complaint had been filed with the PDC. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to timely & accurately disclose expenditures & contributions does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.

(EY 22; Aug 22)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>A complaint was filed against Salvatore Militello, a candidate seeking election to the office of Thurston County Auditor in 2022, alleging that the Sal Militello Campaign (Campaign) violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to file Monetary Contributions reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contributions and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) disclosing contribution and expenditure activities undertaken in support of his candidacy.</p><p>On January 5, 2022, Salvatore Militello filed a Candidate Registration (C-1) registering as a candidate seeking election to the office of Thurston County Auditor in 2022, selecting the Full Reporting option, and listing Carlo Mata as Treasurer. Mr. Militello is a first-time candidate for public office in 2022.</p><p>On April 16, 2022, the Campaign filed four monthly C-4 reports covering the period of January 1 through April 30, 2022, and one C-3 report. The C-3 and C-4 reports disclosed that $1,000 in the candidate’s personal funds was deposited into the Campaign account on April 23, 2022, and that no expenditures or orders placed had been made.</p><p>On August 18, 2022, the Campaign filed three C-3 reports, and one amended C-3 report that disclosed the following: (1) three monetary contributions were received and deposited on June 27, 2022, totaling $2,500 that included two contributions, a $1,000 and a $500 contribution from the Thurston County Republican Central Committee, and a $1,000 contribution from C Duncan Lynn (Retired); (2) a $1,000 candidate loan was made to the Campaign from Mr. Militello on May 27, 2022, with the funds deposited on June 27, 2022; and (3) a $500 candidate loan was made to the Campaign from Mr. Militello and deposited into the Campaign account on August 8, 2022 (also disclosed on the amended C-3 report). </p><p>On August 18, 2022, the Campaign filed two C-4 reports, and one amended C-4 report disclosing contribution and expenditure activities covering the period of May 1 through August 31, 2022. The expenditures disclosed on the C-4 reports included: (1) a $1,319.04 expenditure made on May 21, 2022, for the candidate filing fee; and (2) a $120.12 expenditure made to Pacific Printer to print “Campaign merchandise/paraphernalia: Contribution Envelopes.”</p><p>On August 28-29, 2022, the Campaign filed three C-4 reports, and two amended C-4 reports disclosing contribution and expenditure activities for the months of January and May of 2022. In addition, on September 2, 2022, the Campaign filed an amended C-4 report for May of 2022 disclosing a $116.13 expenditure the Campaign made to GoDaddy on May 20, 2022, for the website and domain name, that had incorrectly listed the expenditure date as May 20, 2021. </p><p>Mr. Militello’s Campaign filed the missing C-3 and C-4 reports after the 2022 primary election was held. However, those late filings are mitigated by the following factors: (1) Mr. Militello was a first-time candidate for public office in 2022; (2) there were only two candidates in the Auditor race, Mr. Militello and Mary Hall, so if it had been a non-partisan office, his name would not have appeared on the primary ballot; and (3) the Campaign to date has not had significant contribution and expenditure activities, having received $4,500 in total contributions and spent slightly more than $1,500 in total expenditures.</p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff determined that these facts do not amount to a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance. Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, the PDC issued a formal written warning to Salvatore Militello concerning the failure to timely file C-3 and C-4 reports disclosing contribution and expenditure activities undertaken in support of his candidacy. </p><p>The formal written warning includes staff’s expectation that Mr. Militello will timely file the required C-3 and C-4 reports for the remainder of the 2022 election cycle, and for any future candidacies. Mr. Militello will be advised that the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action, should there be future violations of PDC laws or rules. </p><p>The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1112390.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "111239 Militello Salvatore Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5513/111239%20Militello%20Salvatore%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "111239 Militello Salvatore Complaint Supplemental.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5513/111239%20Militello%20Salvatore%20Complaint%20Supplemental.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Sal Militello Campaign Complaint Return Ltr with Warning (Hyer) PDC Case 111239.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5513/Sal%20Militello%20Campaign%20Complaint%20Return%20Ltr%20with%20Warning%20%28Hyer%29%20PDC%20Case%20111239.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "Sal Militello email responses to complaint (Hyer) PDC Case 111239.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5513/Sal%20Militello%20email%20responses%20to%20complaint%20%28Hyer%29%20PDC%20Case%20111239.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]09/20/2022 05:05:55 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The C-3 report disclosed a $500 monetary contribution was received from an individual, and a $600 in anonymous monetary contributions had been received on June 29, 2021.</p><p>On July 28, 2021, the Campaign filed an amended C-3 report disclosing amended information re-classifying the $600 in anonymous contributions to two contributors that included a $360 monetary contribution, and a $240 monetary contribution.</p><p>On July 12, 2021, the Campaign timely filed a C-3 report listing $1,300 in total contributions had been received on July 10, 2021 and deposited on July 12, 2021. The C-3 report disclosed the receipt of six itemized contributions of more than $25 totaling $900, and $400 in anonymous monetary contributions.</p><p>On July 28, 2021, the Campaign filed an amended C-3 report disclosing amended information re-classifying the $400 in anonymous contributions to three contributors that included a $200 monetary contribution, and two $100 monetary contributions.</p><p>On July 28, 2021, the Campaign filed an amended C-4 report covering the period May 20 through 31, 2021, disclosing that a $216 in-kind contribution had been received from Ms. Twitty on May 20, 2021 for the candidate filing fee. </p><p>On August 8, 2021, the Campaign filed three amended C-4 reports covering the period May 20 through July 26, 2021, disclosing the required expenditure details for: (1) several expenditures made to Charles Thrower reimbursing him for campaign-related expenses he made for political advertisements using personal funds; and (2) several expenditures made to Xpress Signs for yard signs. </p><p>The Campaign indicated that once Ms. Twitty had “collected the contributor information we were able to update that information away from anonymous contributions” and file the amended C-3 reports with the correct contributor information. Ms. Twitty was a first-time candidate and upon notification of the reporting discrepancies, her Campaign timely filed amended C-3 and C-4 reports as requested by staff to bring her Campaign back into compliance.</p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined, in this instance, the allegations concerning the initial disclosure of anonymous contributions, and the failure to accurately disclose one expenditure and include the proper description for other expenditures, does not amount to a violation warranting further investigation or any enforcement. </p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Jeannette Twitty will receive a formal written warning concerning the incorrect classification of monetary contributions as anonymous contributions, and the failure to timely disclose a Campaign expenditure, and expenditure details as required for political advertising.

(EY'22, FEB'24)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>A complaint was filed against Donald McDermott, a 2022 candidate seeking election to the office of Skagit County Sheriff, alleging a violation of RCW 42.17A.240 for failing to timely file reports contributions and expenditures. </p><p>On March 20, 2022, Donald McDermott filed a Candidate Registration declaring his candidacy for re-election to the office of Skagit County Sheriff, selecting the Full Reporting Option and listing Jamie Bredstrand as Campaign Treasurer. Sheriff McDermott was elected Sheriff in 2018 and re-elected to that office in 2022.</p><p>For the 2022 election cycle, the Post General Election C-4 report was required to be filed no later than December 12, 2022, covering the period November 1-30, 2022. </p><p>The 2022 Donald McDermott Campaign (Campaign) filed the Post General Election C-4 report on April 13, 2024, covering the period of November 1, 2022, through May 31, 2023. The Post General Election C-4 report disclosed no contributions had been received and one expenditure totaling $1,877.20 was made on May 30, 2023, using "surplus funds" for a charitable contribution made to the Skagit County First Responders Foundation. </p><p>The Campaign timely filed the 21-Day and 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 reports on the required due date for both reports. Mr. McDermott apologized for the late filed C-4 report and stated he thought his Campaign had filed all the necessary reports. </p><p>When the Campaign was in the process of filing the missing 2022 Post General Election C-4 report in April of 2024, which covered November 1, 2022, thru May 31, 2023, and a June 2023 C-4 report, it was discovered there were several discrepancies to the cash on hand balance, which was incorrectly listed as $1,868. </p><p>The Campaign indicated that it had closed the bank account in 2023, and it had a $0 cash on hand balance. The Campaign then reconciled the campaign contribution and expenditure activities, which verified there were two separate duplicate entries of $1,497 in contributions for the candidate filing fee, which accounted for most of the $1,868 cash on hand balance. However, there still was a discrepancy of $370.44 that the Campaign could not reconcile, which represented 1.7% of total contributions and expenditures. </p><p>In accordance with WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), PDC staff has issued a formal written warning to Donald McDermott concerning the requirement to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) in the future, should he declare his candidacy again. In addition, the warning includes the requirement to reconcile the Campaign bank statements with the books of accounts to verify that all contribution and expenditure activities have been properly disclosed.</p><p>The Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws and rules. Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1), and WAC 390-37-060(1)(a). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1512010.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "151201 McDermott Donald Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6583/151201%20McDermott%20Donald%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "151201 McDermott Donald Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "151201 Donald McDermott Complaint Return Ltr.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6583/151201%20Donald%20McDermott%20Complaint%20Return%20Ltr.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "Initial-hearing-results-respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6583/Initial-hearing-results-respondent.pdf", "description" : "Initial hearing results to respondent", "document_type" : null}]07/16/2024 12:57:13 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaint alleged that Nicholas Holce, a candidate for Walla Walla County Part Time District Court Judge, in the 2022 election, may have violated RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to include sponsor identification when sending out a political ad as well as on the campaign’s official website.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>On May 09, 2022, Nicholas Holce submitted a Candidate Registration Statement (C-1 report) declaring his candidacy for Walla Walla District Court Judge in the 2022 election, selecting the “Full Reporting” option and listing Kayla Zimmer as Treasurer.</li><li>RCW 42.17A.320 states, in part, that all written political advertising shall include the sponsor's name and address. </li><li>The complaint included a copy of a mailed advertisement, referred to by the Respondent as a postcard, sent to residents of Walla Walla, and alleged the ad did not identify who paid for or sponsored the ad.</li><li>The complaint also alleged the campaign failed to include sponsor identification on its official website.</li><li>During the review of the advertisement and the website, PDC staff noted that although the language of the advertisement identified Nicholas Holce as the candidate the identification was in the third person and did not specifically identify the candidate as having paid for or sponsored the advertisement. As well, the official website had identified the campaign office address as required but the sponsor identification was missing.</li><li>In his response, Mr. Holce stated “because I paid for the postcard myself with personal funds, I did not realize I needed to indicate I paid for it on the card. My recollection when I was creating the postcard of the sponsor requirement was that it needed to state the sponsor if my committee paid for it, or if an unrelated third-party paid for it.” As well, he further clarified, “because the card was so small, and spaced was limited, I assumed a reasonable reader would recognize that a postcard that was about me, and which involved such a small, local race, would clearly be coming from me.”</li><li>Mr. Holce reported the in-kind contribution, for the mailed advertisement costs, on the C4 report submitted October 18, 2022.</li><li>Once notified by the PDC of the missing sponsor identification on the campaign website, Mr. Holce took immediate corrective action and as of November 3, 2022, the website was corrected.</li></ul><p>Mr. Holce admitted the omission of the sponsor identification, on both the mailed advertisement and the website, was an oversight on his part. The omission was unintentional and not done to purposely conceal the sponsor from the public. Mr. Holce has fully cooperated with PDC staff during its review and took responsibility for the deficiencies.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to include sponsor identification on the postcard advertisement, paid for by the candidate, and failure to place the sponsor identification on the campaign website does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Mr. Holce will receive a formal written warning concerning the failure to include sponsor identification on political advertising. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Mr. Holce review all written political advertisements done in the future and will maintain his campaign website to ensure these include applicable sponsor identification. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1137380.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "113738 Holce Nicholas Supp Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5599/113738%20Holce%20Nicholas%20Supp%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113738 Holce Nicholas Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5599/113738%20Holce%20Nicholas%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113738 Holce Nicholas Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5599/113738%20Holce%20Nicholas%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "113738 Holce Nicholas Complaint Return Letter", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "113738 Holce_Nicholas Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5599/113738%20Holce_Nicholas%20Response.pdf", "description" : "113738 Holce Nicholas Response", "document_type" : ""}]05/20/2024 12:36:45 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The two complaints alleged that Our Region PAC violated RCW 42.17A by failing to include the required sponsor identification information for independent expenditure advertisements such as the sponsor, and the Top 5 contributor and Top 3 contributor information, as part of the disclaimer in the advertisements.</p><p>On July 2, 2020, Our Region PAC filed a Registration with the PDC disclosing that it was a Continuing Political Committee selecting the Full Reporting Option and listing Jon Petit as President and as a Ministerial Treasurer. On July 13, 2020, Our Region PAC (ORP) filed two C-3 reports disclosing a $10,000 contribution had been received from Responsible Economic Growth in Our Neighborhood PAC - Region PAC on July 10, 2020, and that a $100 monetary loan had been received from Jon Petit.</p><p>On July 15, 2020, ORP timely filed a C-6 report checking box #2 for an independent expenditure advertisement made within 21 days of an election, disclosing a $5,120.60 expenditure for a mailing presented to the public on July 15, 2020, in support of Bud Blake a candidate for Thurston County Commission. On August 6, 2020, ORP filed a C-6 report checking box #2 for an independent expenditure advertisement made within 21 days of an election, disclosing a $3,762.56 expenditure for a mailing presented to the public on August 6, in support of Bud Blake a candidate for Thurston County Commission.</p><p>Responsible Economic Growth in Our Neighborhood PAC - Region PAC (REGION) is a Continuing Political Committee that was formed in February of 2019, selecting the Full Reporting Option, and listing David K. Toyer as Committee Manager and Treasurer. You alleged that ORP failed to include two 2019 REGION contributors, Northpoint Development and Art by Nature, Inc. in the sponsor identification for the 2020 independent expenditures.</p><p>The complete sponsor identification in the ORP independent expenditure advertisements stated: <i>“No candidate authorized this ad, it is paid for by Our Region PAC….Sponsored by Responsible Economic Growth in Our Neighborhood (REGION PAC) top 5 donors are Responsible Economic Growth in Our Neighborhood (REGION PAC), top 3 individuals donors to PAC contributors are Universal Land Construction co, Gibson Traffic Consultants, and The Gordon Company, Inc.”</i></p><p>On October 22, 2020, ORP amended its Committee Registration to state: <i>“Our Region PAC, Sponsored by Responsible Economic Growth in Our Neighborhood (ORPAC).”</i></p><p>Staff’s review found that at the time of the 2020 independent expenditure advertisements were prepared by ORP, REGION’s top three contributors for calendar year 2020 included a $2,500 monetary contribution from Gibson Traffic Consultants (June 2, 2020); a $2,500 monetary contribution from Universal Land Construction Company, Inc (June 10, 2020); and a $2,000 monetary contribution from The Gordon Company, Inc. (June 24, 2020). The review confirmed the allegation that ORP failed to include two 2019 REGION contributors, Northpoint Development, for a $7,500 monetary contribution received by REGION on October 15, 2019; and Art by Nature, Inc., for a $5,000 monetary contribution received by REGION on November 14, 2019, in the sponsor identification.</p><p>While the independent expenditure advertisements printed and distributed by ORP did include Top five and Top three contributor information, ORP’s review only included 2020 contributors and failed to include a look back into REGION’s 2019 contributors to cover the required 12-month period referenced in the statute and rule. However, staff did find there were several mitigating factors concerning the allegations listed in the two complaints you filed that included ORP being a first-time political committee with an inexperienced Treasurer, and that the ORP independent expenditure advertisements correctly identified the sponsor in the advertisements by stating in part of the sponsor identification "Sponsored by Responsible Economic Growth in Our Neighborhood PAC (REGON).” </p><p>Based on this information, PDC staff found no evidence that would constitute a material violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any enforcement action in this instance. However, staff is reminding Our Region PAC and Mr. Pettit to be aware of the sponsorship requirements in the naming of a political committee, as well as the sponsor identification requirements for independent expenditure advertising to include the Top five and Top three contributors for the previous 12 months, for any political committees he is involved with in the future. </p><p>The PDC has dismissed these two complaints, PDC Cases 74713 and 77585, in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/775850.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "77585 Our Region PAC Complaint (2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3728/77585%20Our%20Region%20PAC%20Complaint%20%282%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Our Region PAC Complaint return with Reminder Cover letter (Joe Hyer) PDC Cases 74713 and 77585.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3728/Our%20Region%20PAC%20Complaint%20return%20with%20Reminder%20Cover%20letter%20%28Joe%20Hyer%29%20PDC%20Cases%2074713%20and%2077585.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Our Region PAC responses to two complaints (Hyer) PDC Cases 74713 and 77585.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3728/Our%20Region%20PAC%20responses%20to%20two%20complaints%20%28Hyer%29%20PDC%20Cases%2074713%20and%2077585.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]10/27/2020 10:41:02 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

WSCCE, AFL-CIO's involvement “was hardly secret (since) the litigation was publicly reported on as it progressed”, and WSCCCE, AFL-CIO promptly took corrective action when its alleged noncompliance was brought to its attention. </p><p>WSCCCE, AFL-CIO indicated they did not realize the requirement to file C-6 reports "prior to the complaint being filed against it, it has since filed reports fully disclosing the costs of legal fees it paid opposing the two propositions.” </p><p>On November 4, 2019, the PDC received a completed Statement of Understanding (SOU) that was signed by Chris Dugovich, President of the WSCCCE, AFL-CIO. The SOU was accompanied by a $450 payment for the civil penalty that was assessed in this matter in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule). The $450 civil penalty resolves the allegations listed in your complaint against the WSCCCE, AFL-CIO for failing to timely file three C-6 reports.</p><p>By completing the SOU, the WA State Council of County and City Employees, AFL-CIO acknowledged three violations of RCW 42.17A.255 for failing to timely file C-6 reports disclosing legal services incurred in opposition to the City of Sequim Propositions 1 and 2.</p><p>Based on the resolution of this matter through an SOU, PDC staff is dismissing this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/56889450.000.000.00450.000.00false[{"file_name" : "WA State Council of County & City Employees Complaint Return with Statement of Understanding Cover Letter (Freedom Foundation) PDC Case 56889.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3214/WA%20State%20Council%20of%20County%20%26%20City%20Employees%20Complaint%20Return%20with%20Statement%20of%20Understanding%20Cover%20Letter%20%28Freedom%20Foundation%29%20PDC%20Case%2056889.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "56889 Washington State Council of County and City Employees Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3214/56889%20Washington%20State%20Council%20of%20County%20and%20City%20Employees%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "WA State Council of County and City Employees Response and C-6 Reports (Freedom Foundation) PDC Case 56889.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3214/WA%20State%20Council%20of%20County%20and%20City%20Employees%20Response%20and%20C-6%20Reports%20%28Freedom%20Foundation%29%20PDC%20Case%2056889.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "WA State Council of County and City Employees Signed Statement of Understanding.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3214/WA%20State%20Council%20of%20County%20and%20City%20Employees%20Signed%20Statement%20of%20Understanding.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}][{"who" : "Washington State Council of County & City Employees - PAC", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2019-11-20", "amount" : 450.00, "description" : null, "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2019-11-04", "amount" : 450.00, "description" : "Paid"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]11/25/2019 06:17:38 PMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

The complaint alleged that John Cavanaugh, the President of the Yakima Education Association (YEA) may have violated RCW 42.17A.555 by using Yakima School District facilities to send a YEA communication about a school board candidate.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by John Cavanaugh (the “Respondent”); and PDC Interpretation 01-03, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the e-mail sent by John Cavanaugh on October 25, 2021 was primarily used to convey normal YEA business as done weekly and that the addition of the statement regarding Kenton Gartrell was intended to remind recipients of their ability to do their own research and not to support or oppose any candidates. Staff found that although the statement regarding Mr. Gartrell did not explicitly encourage the recipient to vote a specific way that it was inconsistent with the primary purpose of the YEA communication and should have been omitted. </p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, the inclusion of a statement mentioning a candidate for local office in a communication intended to convey Yakima Education Association matters does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation. </p><p>PDC staff is reminding John Cavanaugh about the importance of limiting the use of official school district e-mail services and other district resources in the future to those permissible in accordance with PDC laws and rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1002560.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "100256 Cavanaugh John Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5039/100256%20Cavanaugh%20John%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "100256 Cavanaugh John Reminder - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5039/100256%20Cavanaugh%20John%20%20Reminder%20-%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "100256 Cavanaugh John Reminder - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5039/100256%20Cavanaugh%20John%20%20Reminder%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Reminder"}, {"file_name" : "100256 Cavanaugh John Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5039/100256%20Cavanaugh%20John%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]01/21/2022 01:50:15 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

On November 01, 2022, the campaign filed C3 report #110123847 indicating additional contributions. That report was intended to be an amendment of the Oct. 24, 2022, C3 but was not recorded as such. This second C3 report made for an appearance that some contributors provided over-limit contributions to the campaign.</li><li>Upon notification of the over-limit contribution allegation, the campaign Treasurer, Jeanne Legault provided back-up ORCA data to the PDC that showed there had not been an over-limit contribution by any of the contributors identified in the applicable C3 reports. Ms. Legault cooperatively worked with PDC Filer Assistance to help identify the reporting issue.</li><li>After further review by PDC Filer Assistance and IT staff, it was determined that multiple amendments had been made through the ORCA system effectively cancelling out the corrections to the reported data. This caused the reporting on the PDC website to be inaccurate.

Ms. Maggard is a first-time candidate for public office in 2022.</p><p>On June 14, 2022, the Campaign filed three C-3 reports for contributions received and deposited during the month of May, and the May 2022 C-4 report. The three C-3 reports disclosed the Campaign received $1,450 in monetary contributions during the month of May as follows: (1) a $300 monetary contribution was received and deposited on May 19, 2022, from an individual out of California; (2) a $1,000 monetary contribution was received and deposited on May 26, 2022, from Jerry Maggard, retired; and (3) a $100 and a $50 monetary contribution was received and deposited on May 26, 2022, from two local individuals.</p><p>The May 2022 C-4 report disclosed the Campaign received $1,450 in monetary contributions received, with no expenditures made or orders placed during the month. The C-3 and C-4 reports were filed four days late by the Campaign. In addition, on June 14, 2022, the Campaign timely filed two C-3 reports disclosing $650 in monetary contributions that included a C-3 report disclosing $550 in monetary contributions had been received on June 12, 2022, and the funds deposited in the bank account on June 13, 2022. </p><p>Ms. Maggard stated in her emailed response: “I do not dispute my delay in filing the required C3 and C4 reports but I would like to explain my delay. As this is my first campaign and first time using the ORCA software, I had incorrectly entered the May campaign donations in the spot for the previous cash totals.” She stated that this error caused her Campaign bank deposits to not match, so none of the C-3 reports or the May C-4 report were filed electronically in ORCA. She stated she attempted to electronically filed her C-3 and C-4 reports on June 10, 2022, and that she thought the reports had been submitted.</p><p>Ms. Maggard stated that “on the 13th of June we were notified by an individual that the PDC website was showing we had raised no funds…. On June 14th, my Financial Manager emailed the PDC help desk to get help with the error” and the Campaign was able to electronically file the three C-3 reports and one C-4 report for May of 2022. </p><p>Ms. Maggard stated that her Campaign only recently made its initial expenditures for goods or services in June of 2022. She stated those expenditures will be disclosed on the C-4 report that is required to be filed on July 12, 2022. She reiterated that she understood her initial Campaign “reports were delayed, and we wish to let the public know that it was human error and was not done purposely.”<br><br>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance. Billie Maggard is a first-time candidate for public office. While the May 2022 C-3 and C-4 reports were filed four days late, the late filings did not materially impact the public since the reports were filed 49 days prior to the August 2, 2022, primary election, and did not include significant contribution or expenditure activities.</p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the PDC is issuing a formal written warning to Billie Maggard concerning the requirements to timely file C-3 and C-4 reports as required for a candidate under the Full Reporting option. The formal written warning includes staff’s expectation that Billie Maggard will timely file C-3 and C-4 reports electronically for the remainder of the 2022 election cycle. In addition, Billie Maggard will be advised that the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action, should there be future violations of PDC laws or rules. </p><p>The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1095040.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "109504 Maggard Billie Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5296/109504%20Maggard%20Billie%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Billie Maggard Email Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5296/Billie%20Maggard%20Email%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Maggard, Billie Complaint Return Letter (Morgan) PDC Case 109504.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5296/Maggard%2C%20Billie%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20Case%20109504.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]07/12/2022 03:48:40 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

He ran for re-election in 2023, selecting the Mini Reporting Option, and was re-elected on November 7, 2023.</li><li>Mr. Connors placed yard signs in the Kennewick area that supported his re-election effort.</li><li>We Want Accountability PAC placed yard signs next to Mr. Connors’ signs that opposed his candidacy. The We Want Accountability PAC’s signs included arrows pointing directly at Mr. Connors’ signs, implying that the wording on the signs were statements about Mr. Connors, making the signs subject to the false advertising prohibitions in RCW 42.17A.335. In addition to the arrows on the signs, the signs included one of the following statements about Michael Connors:</li><li>“Voted with <strong>Liberals</strong> 100%”</li><li>“Kept Our Kids in MASKS”</li><li>“Supports CRT in Schools”</li></ul><p>“Voted with <strong>Liberals</strong> 100%”</p><ul><li>The complaint alleged that the statement on signs that read “Voted with Liberals 100%” was a false statement of material fact about Michael Connors based on evidence in the April 12, 2023 minutes of the school board meeting showing that Mr. Connors had not, on the occasion cited in the minutes, voted with fellow board member Ron Mabry, who the Respondent described as a liberal school board member, on Resolution No. 6, the WSSDA Weighted Vote Removal Resolution.</li></ul><p>“Kept Our Kids in MASKS”</p><ul><li>The complaint alleged that the statement, “Kept Our Kids in MASKS” was a false statement of material fact about Michael Connors because the Washington State Supreme Court opined that state statutes give the governor and secretary of health the power to mandate masking pursuant to their authority during a state emergency and that local school boards do not have the power to override that state-level action, meaning school board directors did not have the authority to override the masking requirement during the Governor’s state of emergency.</li></ul><p>“Supports CRT in Schools”</p><ul><li>The complaint alleged that the statement, “Supports CRT in Schools” was a false statement of material fact about Michael Connors because on August 24, 2022, the school board, including Mr. Connors, voted unanimously to pass Policy 2340, INSTRUCTION: Race and the Curriculum, a policy that was publicized as protecting students from Critical Race Theory racism.</li></ul><p><strong>Response to Complaint</strong></p><ul><li>The Respondent stated that there is an alternative view of the facts at issue in the complaint, as noted below: </li></ul><p>“Voted with <strong>Liberals</strong> 100%”: </p><ul><li>The response stated that School Director Ron Mabry is a known liberal school board member and Michael Connors has voted with Mr. Mabry on every school policy introduced in the past two years. The response stated that the example cited in the complaint as evidence that the statement on the yard signs was false because Mr. Connors did not vote with Mr. Mabry on Resolution No. 6, the WSSDA Weighted Vote Removal Resolution, on April 12, 2023, is not applicable because the resolution was not a school board policy. </li></ul><p>“Kept Our Kids in MASKS”</p><ul><li>The response claimed that Michael Connors did nothing to get the masking mandate lifted. The response stated that a resolution signed by over 150 school board directors was sent to the Governor, asking him to lift the masking mandate from Washington schools, and Mr. Connors did not sign the resolution. The response stated that parents were begging the Kennewick School Board to at least try to get the mask mandate lifted, but Mr. Connors did nothing during this time period to push back against the masking mandates.</li></ul><p>“Supports CRT in Schools”</p><ul><li>The response stated that Michael Connors’ support of Policy 2340, INSTRUCTION: Race and the Curriculum, does not mean he did not support CRT. The response stated that Policy 2340 does not mention Critical Race Theory because Michael Connors did not want those words included in the policy. The response stated that on June 22, 2022, Mr. Connors demonstrated his support for Critical Race Theory by voting to keep a book written by the founder of Critical Race Theory in the libraries of Kennewick School District. </li></ul><p><strong>RCW 42.17A.335(1)</strong> states, in part, “It is a violation of this chapter for a person to sponsor with actual malice a statement constituting libel or defamation per se under the following circumstances: (a) Political advertising or an electioneering communication that contains a false statement of material fact about a candidate for public office; … </p><p><strong>RCW 42.17A.335(2)</strong> states, For the purposes of this section, "libel or defamation per se" means statements that tend (a) to expose a living person to hatred, contempt, ridicule, or obloquy, or to deprive him or her of the benefit of public confidence or social intercourse, or to injure him or her in his or her business or occupation, or (b) to injure any person, corporation, or association in his, her, or its business or occupation.</p><p><strong>RCW 42.17A.005(1)</strong> states, "Actual malice" means to act with knowledge of falsity or with reckless disregard as to truth or falsity.</p><p><strong>RCW 42.17A.335(4)</strong> states, (4) Any violation of this section shall be proven by clear and convincing evidence.

Respondent took responsibility and noted in his response to the complaint that: “I have learned much about the process of running for elected office, especially the critical nature of fully understanding PDC requirements, including Chapter 42.17A of the RCW. I regret my error in not properly understanding Rule 320 and will ensure to include appropriate sponsor identification on all future materials.” </p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), staff issued a formal written warning to the Respondent concerning the failure to include sponsor identification on political advertisement during the 2023 election year. </p><p>Accordingly, the PDC dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1442990.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "144299 Sinwell Steve Complaint 1.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6279/144299%20Sinwell%20Steve%20Complaint%201.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "144299 Sinwell, Steve Complaint Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6279/144299%20Sinwell%2C%20Steve%20Complaint%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "144299 Sinwell Steve Complaint Disposition Letter .pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6279/144299%20Sinwell%20Steve%20Complaint%20Disposition%20Letter%20.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "144299 Sinwell Steve Complaint 2.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6279/144299%20Sinwell%20Steve%20Complaint%202.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]07/19/2024 04:35:33 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

For the 2023 election, Mr. Swanson won in the primary and lost in the general.</li><li>Upon review of the evidence provided, it was determined that Mark Swanson’s campaign website included an image with an opposition message against candidates Thompson, Curd, and Wood, three current city council members running for re-election in 2023, and a supportive message to vote for candidates Swanson, McNeal, and Agnew, three candidates running for city council in the 2023 election. The creator of the image is identified as “The Committee Against BOPOP.” This same image was posted on November 6, 2023, to Mark Swanson’s personal Facebook page as well as the Save Natural Bothell page, a Facebook account that Mr. Swanson administers. </li><li>The campaign website indicates an “avid supporter” provided the image to Mark Swanson. In his response to the complaint, Mr. Swanson states, “I have no first hand knowledge of any organization by this name” in reference to the “Committee Against BOPOP”. PDC staff further questioned Mr. Swanson about the identity of the “avid supporter” and he first refused to identify the person who provided the image to him and then stopped responding to PDC staff’s inquiry.</li><li> RCW 42.17A.005(40) defines “Political Advertising” to include any advertising displays, newspaper ads, billboards, signs, brochures, articles, tabloids, flyers, letters, radio or television presentations, digital communication, or other means of mass communication, used for the purpose of appealing, directly, or indirectly, for votes or for financial or other support or opposition in an election campaign.</li><li>The image in question is a digital communication and appealed directly for votes and opposed candidates in an election campaign. Therefore, the image constitutes political advertising. Political advertising, per RCW 42.17A.320, shall include the sponsor’s name and address. The use of an assumed name for the sponsor of political advertising is unlawful. And all political advertising undertaken as an independent expenditure or an electioneering communication by a person or entity other than a bona fide political party must include the statement “No candidate authorized this ad. It is paid for by (name, address, city, state).”</li><li>PDC staff reviewed committee registration data, and there is no entity called “The Committee Against BOPOP” currently registered with the PDC. An online search for the entity did not provide conclusive results, nor was there any evidence provided to further identify members of said committee. There are also no Independent Spending & Electioneering Communications (C-6) reports filed by “The Committee Against BOPOP” or anyone else in opposition to Thompson, Curd, or Wood or in support of Swanson, McNeal, or Agnew.</li><li>No clear identity for persons associated with the “Committee Against BOPOP” nor the person who provided the image to Mark Swanson can be determined. Nevertheless, per WAC 390-18-010(6), Mark Swanson, acting as the person who arranged for the image dissemination, is in this instance the sponsor of the political advertisement and therefore should have included complete sponsor identification on the image when publishing it to his campaign website and Facebook pages.</li><li>And finally, per RCW 42.17A.430, no candidate may transfer funds to any other candidate. In that Mark Swanson published the political advertising to his campaign website, and there was some cost to set-up and maintain the website, the benefit of Mark Swanson’s campaign resources was transferred to Swanson, Agnew and McNeal using the website for political advertising. </li><li>The Respondent does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Insufficiently identifying, or refusing to identify, responsible parties of political advertising and redirecting campaign resources for the benefit of other candidates impairs the public’s ability to have confidence in the transparency of elections.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, there is no evidence supporting a violation that calls for further investigation. Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Mark Swanson will receive a formal written warning concerning his failure to provide sufficient sponsor identification on political advertising and for improper use of campaign funds for the purpose of supporting other candidates The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Mark Swanson comply with all laws, rules and PDC guidance in the future pertaining to RCW 42.17A.320 and RCW 42.17A.430. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1448670.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "144867 Swanson_Mark Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6333/144867%20Swanson_Mark%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "144867 Swanson Mark Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6333/144867%20Swanson%20Mark%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "144867 Swanson Mark Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "144867 Swanson_Mark Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6333/144867%20Swanson_Mark%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]02/14/2024 10:03:38 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The PAC is affiliated with the Association, as well as being administered and controlled by the Association, so the contributions were technically received prior to the $5,000 contribution limitation period that is within 21 days of a general election, and for the 2018 general election began on October 16, 2018. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, failing to make deposits within five business days of receipt does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. </p><p>PDC staff is reminding the Washington Health Care Association PAC any political contributions received, even if combined with Association fees, must be reported and deposited into the PAC as required in 42.17A.220.

Mr. Drew was elected Thurston County Assessor in 2010, and he was re-elected to that office in 2014, 2018, and in 2022.</p><p>In his October 13, 2022, response to the allegations listed in the complaint Mr. Drew stated that the “complaint alleges two violations. The first allegation relates to a property tax publication which was developed and distributed in the normal and regular conduct of the Assessor’s Office. The second allegation deals with a campaign contribution from my former deputy. I will address each allegation separately.”</p><p><strong>Alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.565: Knowingly soliciting a contribution from an employee</strong></p><p><strong>RCW 42.17A.565(1)</strong> states “No state or local official or state or local official's agent may knowingly solicit, directly or indirectly, a contribution to a candidate for public office, political party, or political committee from an employee in the state or local official's agency.” </p><p>On February 28, 2022, the 2022 Steven Drew for County Assessor Campaign (Campaign) filed a C-3 report disclosing five monetary contributions that were received and deposited on February 28, 2022. One of the contributors disclosed on the C-3 report was Michael Brooks, Deputy Thurston County Assessor, who made a $250 contribution.</p><p>Mr. Drew stated that in late Feb and early March of 2022, <i>“I made many fundraising calls, that included calls to prior donors. Using my prior contributor’s list, when Mike’s </i>(Michael Brooks<i>) name came up, I was just thinking of him as a friend and prior supporter.” </i></p><p>Mr. Drew stated that he infrequently called “…people for contributions at their place of business, so these calls often occurred in the evening or on weekends for those not retired. Such was the case when I called Mike and asked for a modest contribution. He immediately said yes, and I thanked him. He said he would contribute by check.”</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the 2014 Steven Drew Campaign contributors and found that on August 4, 2014, Michael Brooks made a $500 monetary contribution to the 2014 Steven Drew Re-election Campaign for Thurston County Assessor. The C-3 report disclosed Mr. Brooks’s Employer as Thurston County and his Occupation as Thurston County Deputy Assessor. </p><p>On January 23, 2023, PDC staff received a signed Statement of Understanding (SOU) completed by Mr. Drew, acknowledging one violation of RCW 42.17A.565 by knowingly soliciting a contribution from a Thurston County Assessor employee in February of 2022, along with a check for $150 for penalty assessed in the matter. The signed SOU and $150 penalty payment resolve the allegation concerning the violation for soliciting a contribution from an employee. </p><p><strong>Alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.555: Use of Thurston County Assessor facilities to support his candidacy for re-election in 2022.</strong></p><p><strong>RCW 42.17A.555</strong> states in part that no public facilities can be used by or authorized to be used, either directly or indirectly by any local elected or appointed official or public employee, to support or oppose any candidate or ballot proposition.</p><p>The complaint alleged two separate violations of RCW 42.17A.555 by Steven Drew that included: (1) a violation of RCW 42.17A.555 by using Thurston County Assessor facilities and resources to produce and distribute a 2022 “Property Tax” publication prior to the 2022 election cycle that supported Mr. Drew’s Assessor re-election campaign; and (2) a violation of RCW 42.17A.555 by using Thurston County Assessor facilities to solicit and receive a contribution from an employee for his 2022 re-election Campaign. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Allegation #1: </strong>2022 Thurston County Assessor’s Office “Property Tax” publication</p><p>Mr. Drew stated that in late calendar year 2020, Thurston County Assessor employees working in the field “began experiencing frequent hostility while conducting property inspections.” He stated that the Assessor employees wore bright neon vests which clearly identified the employees as “ASSESSOR” employees, had photo ID badges which were properly displayed, and arrived in Thurston County vehicles that were clearly marked. </p><p>Mr. Drew stated that the parcel inspection issue “posed a unique problem that was studied by many prior to arriving at the mailing idea.” He stated the mailing idea combined the property tax valuation and taxation information required in RCW 84.40.045, while also providing information needed to address the Assessor employee parcel inspection safety concerns. He stated that the total cost of the mailing was projected to be “$17,000 less than sending two mailings.” He added that the property valuation notices are required by statute to be mailed between June 1 and 30 days after the closing of the tax rolls, which for 2022 was July 29, 2022.</p><p>Mr. Drew stated that “the project to change the “Property Tax” (actually a Property Value Change Notice) publication has been in the works for more than a year” and his office solicited input from Thurston County Assessor employees, the union, risk management office, and from other county assessors. He attached to the response a March 18-23, 2022, email string between himself and Linda Hjelle, Snohomish County Assessor, in which they discussed an alternative to mailing the standard 4” x 5” property tax valuation cards. </p><p>Mr. Drew stated that this email, in part “represents the outreach we did, and the information received as a result of this outreach.” He stated that once the County made the decision to change from the postcard to the letter publication, the “Assessor’s Office requested and received additional funding for this new mailing from the Board of Commissioners in the fall of 2021.” </p><p>Mr. Drew stated that the 2022 “Property Tax” publication: (1) provided information stating that property values and taxes do not change in proportion to each other; (2) explained why the Assessor’s Office inspected parcels and property; (3) detailed which regions the Assessor’s Office will be inspecting next; (4) showed how Thurston County Assessor employees and vehicles are identified and marked; and (5) asks the public to be kind to Assessor employees as they carry out their property inspections in the field.</p><p>Mr. Drew stated the 2022 Property Tax publication was designed to provide the statutorily required information about property taxes in accordance with RCW 84.40.045 and WAC 458-12-360. He stated the publication also provided “additional information to both educate the public and provide a safer working environment for my employees. All these efforts are within the authority and conduct of the Assessor’s Office.” He stated the information did not support or mention his candidacy for re-election and was not intended to assist his candidacy for Assessor.</p><p><strong>Allegation #2: </strong>Use of Thurston County facilities to solicit/receive a contribution<strong> </strong></p><p>The second allegation was that Mr. Drew violated RCW 42.17A.555 by using Thurston County Assessor facilities to solicit and receive a contribution from Michael Brooks, Deputy Chief Assessor for Thurston County for his 2022 re-election Campaign. </p><p>Mr. Drew stated that a few days after his February 2022 personal telephone call with Mr. Brooks in which he solicited a monetary contribution for his re-election Campaign, he arranged to pick up the contribution check “at the end of a remote meeting.” He stated that Mr. Books informed “me that he had the contribution check for me to pick up ‘in an envelope.’” </p><p>Mr. Drew stated that since he “did not want to use the facilities of the office, I remember telling him that I would swing by the office but could not receive the check in the building.” He stated that Mr. Brooks “offered to meet me in the public parking lot and I said I would give him a call when I arrived.”</p><p>Mr. Drew stated that when Mr. Brooks came out of the building and into the parking lot, “he handed me the envelope, I thanked him and wished him a good afternoon. I did not ask Mike for or receive any further contributions.”</p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of further violations that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any enforcement action in this instance. </p><p>As noted above, PDC staff received a signed Statement of Understanding (SOU) completed by Mr. Drew, acknowledging one violation of RCW 42.17A.565 for knowingly soliciting a contribution from a Thurston County Assessor employee in February of 2022, and paying a $150 civil penalty that was assessed in the matter to resolve this allegation. Concerning the remaining allegations, PDC staff found no evidence that Mr. Drew used Thurston County Assessor resources or facilities to support his 2022 candidacy for re-election in violation of RCW 42.17A.555.</p><p>The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/112911150.000.000.00150.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Drew, Steven Initial Hearing Results Complainant letter (PDC Case 112911).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5570/Drew%2C%20Steven%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20Complainant%20letter%20%28PDC%20Case%20112911%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "SOU - 112911 - Steven Drew.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5570/SOU%20-%20112911%20-%20Steven%20Drew.pdf", "description" : "SOU - 112911 - Steven Drew", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "Steven Drew Response to Complaint (Morgan) PDC Case 112911.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5570/Steven%20Drew%20Response%20to%20Complaint%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20Case%20112911.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "112911 Drew Steven Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5570/112911%20Drew%20Steven%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Drew, Steven Complaint Return Letter with SOU (PDC Case 112911).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5570/Drew%2C%20Steven%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20with%20SOU%20%28PDC%20Case%20112911%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}][{"who" : "Drew, Steven", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2023-01-30", "amount" : 150.00, "description" : "Statement of Understanding", "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2023-01-17", "amount" : 150.00, "description" : "PAID - SOU"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]02/14/2023 06:35:38 PMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

(EY '20; Sep '20)RCW 29B.30.070/42.17A.335Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsPolitical Committee - Republican Other<p>A complaint was filed against Evergreen Progress (Washington State Republican Party) alleging a violation of RCW 42.17A.335(1)(a) by sponsoring political advertising, specifically an independent expenditure mailer that included a false statement of material fact about Sharon Shewmake, a candidate for State Representative in the 42nd Legislative District in 2020. </p><p>The advertisement sponsored by Evergreen Progress included a copy of a Sharon Shewmake Facebook page post which had a picture of a masked Representative Shewmake, with a group of masked protestors, and the caption stating <i>“Keep your eye out for Young Activists of Whatcom County! They threw an excellent march yesterday.”</i> To the right side of that post was the statement: “<i>The group says our police work for a violent and unjust institution built on systemic racism.”</i></p><p>The advertisement included the question just under that at the bottom of the first page <i>“Why is Sharon Shewmake marching to defund the police?”</i> Finally, the top of the second page included a picture of a pair of hands holding up a sign in all yellow highlighted capital letters stating <i>“DEFUND THE POLICE”</i> and just below that the advertisement stated <i>“Sharon Shewmake (D) failed to support our local police.”</i></p><p>In the response from Mark Lamb, legal counsel for Evergreen Progress he stated, “<i>The mailer is neither defamatory nor libelous and thus the PDC has no jurisdiction over the political speech contained in it.” </i> He stated that Representative Shewmake <i>“called the march by Young Activists of Whatcom County “excellent” on Twitter as accurately depicted in the mail piece.” </i></p><p>Based on this information, PDC staff found no evidence that would constitute a material violation or require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any enforcement action in this instance. </p><p>In order to meet the statutory definition of libel or defamation found in RCW 42.17A.335, a false statement about a candidate must be proven by clear and convincing evidence. The question “Why is Sharon Shewmake marching to defund the police?” did not constitute a false statement that she was in favor of defunding the police, and the phrase “Sharon Shewmake (D) failed to support our local police” was a matter of opinion.</p><p>The PDC has dismissed this complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/777000.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "77700 Evergreen Progress (WA State Republican Party) aka Evergreen Progress (MC2) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3732/77700%20Evergreen%20Progress%20%28WA%20State%20Republican%20Party%29%20aka%20Evergreen%20Progress%20%28MC2%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Evergreen Progress (WSRP) Complaint Response (Tiesinga) PDC Case 77700.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3732/Evergreen%20Progress%20%28WSRP%29%20Complaint%20Response%20%28Tiesinga%29%20PDC%20Case%2077700.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Evergreen Progress (WSRP) Complaint Return Ltr (Tiesinga) PDC Case 77700.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3732/Evergreen%20Progress%20%28WSRP%29%20Complaint%20Return%20Ltr%20%28Tiesinga%29%20PDC%20Case%2077700.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]04/08/2021 10:27:19 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

PDC staff reviewed the allegation; the applicable statutes, rules and reporting requirements; and the response provided by the Respondent to determine whether they support a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>RCW 42.17A.335(1(b) prohibits political advertising that includes a false statement of incumbency about a candidate who is not an incumbent that is made with actual malice. However, subsection (3) of .335 states that it is not a violation for a candidate or their agent to make such a statement about themselves because a person cannot defame themselves. </p><p>WAC 390-18-040(1) states that the term “reelect” can be used when “the candidate is presently holding the office being sought, was elected to it, and is seeking another term in that same office in the same district or political subdivision.” The rule is silent concerning what term(s) could be used by incumbents holding multiple positions within the same office. </p><p>The Respondent, who is an incumbent Key Peninsula Parks & Recreation Commissioner in position 1, as well as a candidate for position 3, distributed campaign signs and other political advertising containing the term “reelect” during election year 2019.</p><p>Upon being notified of the allegation, the Respondent reached out to the PDC for guidance and immediately and voluntarily altered his campaign signs to omit the term “reelect” to alleviate any concerns about their use. The Respondent also explained that the Key Peninsula Parks & Recreation Commission positions are not defined by geographical limits within the district.

The complaint alleged that Elizabeth Hallock, a candidate for Yakima City Council, Position 4 in 2019 may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.205 for failure to timely file a Candidate Registration report (C-1 report) within two weeks of becoming a candidate in the 2019 election; and (2) RCW 42.17A.235 for failure to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing in-kind contributions made by the candidate to her 2019 campaign. <br> </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. <br> </p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(f), Elizabeth Hallock completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) and paid a $300 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 for failing to timely file the 21-Day Pre-Primary C-4 report; and (2) failing to timely file the 7-Day Pre-Primary Election C-4 report during the 2019 election. The $300 assessed penalty resolves these allegations. <br><br>During its investigation, staff found that some of the descriptions for in-kind contributions made by the candidate, Elizabeth Hallock, to the 2019 Liz Hallock for Yakima City Council campaign were insufficient. Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Ms. Hallock will receive a formal written warning concerning her failure to include adequate detail for expenditures made directly to vendors using personal funds and disclosed as in-kind contributions. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Ms. Hallock will use RCW 42.17A.240 and WAC 390-16-037 as a guide for descriptions of expenditure activities disclosed as in-kind contributions, on future reports. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. <br><br>The complaint included evidence showing that Elizabeth Hallock publicly announced her candidacy for Yakima City Council, in the online version of the Yakima Herald on January 25, 2019 and alleged that she had violated RCW 42.17A.205 by failing to timely file the C-1 report registering her campaign with the PDC.

The campaign projects the issue will be on the ballot in early 2024. The Committee Chair is Diodato Boucsieguez, Vice Chair is Thomas Brooks, and the Treasurer is Debra Blodgett. </li><li>The Committee filed a Political Committee Registration (C-1pc) on April 4, 2023, choosing Full Reporting. </li><li>Per RCW 42.17A.320, unless exempt, “All written political advertising, …, shall include the sponsor’s name and address.” <ul><li>At the time of the complaint, the campaign website did include the committee’s name at the bottom of the first page of the website, but it did not explicitly state “paid for by” or “sponsored by” and it did not include the committee address. Once notified, the Committee updated the website to include a complete sponsor identification.</li><li>The Complainant questioned whether the PayPal portal, used by the Committee to collect contributions, should include sponsor identification. The PDC considers PayPal a vendor and as such use of the platform to collect donations does not require sponsor identification.</li><li>The Complainant alleged that party preference was missing from the sponsor identification. Per RCW 42.17A.320, for political advertising, party preference is required only if the campaign is for a partisan office and the candidate has expressed a party or independent preference on the declaration of candidacy.</li><li>During the case review, PDC staff determined other materials used by the campaign for communication purposes, to include campaign signs, banners, and t-shirts, are exempt from sponsorship identification per WAC 390-18-030. </li></ul></li><li>Per RCW 42.17A.235 a candidate shall file a Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) report on the tenth of each month if contributions are received or an expenditure is made in the preceding month and the total financial activity exceeds $750 dollars aggregate. Other than the 21-day and 7-day pre-election reports, reporting may be deferred until the threshold is met. Any time reports are deferred, the campaign must retroactively file reports for the period deferred. The PDC does not consider deferred reports late if they are filed timely once the financial activity threshold is exceeded. Per RCW 42.17A.220 all monetary contributions shall be deposited within five business days of receipt and per .235 a Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) report showing those contributions is due the Monday following the deposit.</li><li>In their response to the complaint, the Committee reported “The clipboards, pens, and binder clips” … “paper sheets used for the petition signature forms” … “printing of the petition sheets and flyers” … “Committee website, t-shirts, large sign, and table banner” were provided by committee members and not purchased using Committee funds. Following the complaint, the Committee took steps to amend reports showing expenditures made to the Committee by volunteers as in-kind contributions and the Committee is keeping track of other volunteer out-of-pocket expenditures which will be subsequently reported once those costs exceed the threshold of $200.</li><li>Based on amended reporting, the Committee exceeded $750 in campaign finance activity in April 2023. The first report due from the Committee would have been a C-4 for the period April 1 – April 30, 2023, due on May 10, 2023. A C-4 was filed timely in May, but it did not disclose material in-kind contributions that supported efforts of the campaign. Similarly, the same reporting pattern occurred for the period of May and June where the initial C-4 was filed timely but then amended one to two months later to disclose material in-kind contributions. With the July reported data, the Committee is on track with the C-4 reporting schedule. There were no late filed C-3 reports.</li><li>As of October 30, 2023, the campaign reported $3,762.24 received in contributions and $3,037.80 reported in expenditures.</li><li>The Respondent does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our case review, staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely disclose expenditures and contributions; and failure to provide a complete sponsor ID on a campaign website does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, the Committee to Recall Joshua Binda will receive a formal written warning concerning their failure to timely and accurately disclose expenditures and contributions; and failure to provide a complete sponsor ID on a campaign website. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that the Committee to Recall Joshua Binda maintain their campaign website per PDC requirements and timely file all required reports of contributions and expenditures throughout the rest of the 2023 campaign as well as in future years. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1417290.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Committee to Recall Joshua Binda Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6132/Committee%20to%20Recall%20Joshua%20Binda%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "141729 Committee to Recall Joshua Binda Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141729 Committee to Recall Joshua Binda Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6132/141729%20Committee%20to%20Recall%20Joshua%20Binda%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141729 Committee to Recall Joshua Binda Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6132/141729%20Committee%20to%20Recall%20Joshua%20Binda%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]11/03/2023 08:46:10 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Ms. Macias filed a declaration of candidacy on May 15, 2023, followed up by a Candidate Registration (C-1) on May June 28, 2023. The candidate was granted permission to convert their Mini Reporting option to the Full Reporting option.</li><li>RCW 42.17A.320 states, “all written political advertising, whether relating to candidates or ballot propositions, shall include the sponsor’s name and address.” The statute exempts yard signs and other forms of political advertising where sponsor identification is impractical. The information required to appear on political advertising shall appear on the first page or fold of the written advertisement or communication in at least ten-point type, or in type at least ten percent of the largest size type used in a written advertisement or communication directed at more than one voter, such as a billboard or poster, whichever is larger; not be subject to the half-tone or screening process; and be set apart from any other printed matter. No text may be before, after, or immediately adjacent to the information required. WAC 390-18-010 further clarifies and explains the requirements for sponsor identification and political advertising.</li><li>Sponsor identification, is an important piece of political advertising that gives the public information about who sponsored the ad.

(EY '19) (Jul '19)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.55.010/42.17A.700, RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205Resolved through Statement of Understanding (SOU)Candidate - LocalCandidate C1 & F1<p>The PDC received a complaint alleging that Erinn Howell (the “Respondent”) may have violated RCW 42.17A.205, .235 & .700 by failing to timely register as a candidate and file a statement of financial affairs within two weeks of becoming a candidate, and timely report her contributions & expenditures on C-3 & C-4 reports.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules and reporting requirements; the responses provided by the Respondent; and the Respondent’s reporting history to determine whether they support a finding of one or more violations. Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>The Respondent is a first-time candidate who filed with Elections officials on May 15, 2019 and was therefore required to file a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) and Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) with the PDC within two weeks, or no later than May 29, 2019. </p><p>The Respondent filed an F-1 report with the PDC on July 12, 2019 – 44 days late – but technical issues prevented it from appearing in the PDC’s system until September 9, 2019. The Respondent filed a C-1 report with the PDC on September 30, 2019, which is 124 days late. On the C-1 report, the Respondent selected the Mini-reporting Option, whereby a candidate’s campaign is not required to file C-3 & C-4 reports with the PDC if they raise & spend no more than $5,000 and receive no more than $500 from any one contributor. </p><p>In her response to the complaint, the Respondent indicated noncompliance was due to a misunderstanding, lack of experience, and a family illness. This case was resolved via the Respondent’s submission of a signed Statement of Understanding and $100 penalty. Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to timely register as a candidate and file a statement of financial affairs does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/54918100.000.000.00100.000.00false[{"file_name" : "54918 Howell Erinn Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3110/54918%20Howell%20Erinn%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "54918 Howell Erinn Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3110/54918%20Howell%20Erinn%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Erinn Howell_Statement of Understanding.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3110/Erinn%20Howell_Statement%20of%20Understanding.pdf", "description" : "Howell_Statement of Understanding", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "54918 Howell Erinn Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3110/54918%20Howell%20Erinn%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}][{"who" : "Erinn Howell", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2019-09-30", "amount" : 100.00, "description" : "Statement of Understanding", "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2019-09-23", "amount" : 100.00, "description" : "Resolved through Statement of Understanding - Paid"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]03/24/2021 09:28:34 AMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

The complaint alleged that Molly Marshall, a candidate for Spokane County Commissioner, District 5 in the 2024 election, may have violated RCW 42.17A.405 by accepting in-kind contributions in excess of contribution limits.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Ministerial Treasurer, Geoffrey Bracken, on behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Molly Marshall is a first-time candidate with no prior enforcement history. Staff found that although the Respondent accepted an in-kind contribution in excess of Primary Election contribution limits for services used in the Primary Election, the 2024 Marshall Campaign took steps to mitigate this error by paying for the services to reduce the aggregate contribution total from Hamilton Studios.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, acceptance of an over limit in-kind contribution, which required a monetary payment to reduce the aggregate total contribution amount attributed to the Primary Election to rectify, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Molly Marshall will receive a formal written warning regarding receipt of an in-kind contribution in excess of the contribution limit. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that the Respondent adhere to any applicable contribution limits attributed to monetary and in-kind contributions in the future. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1557270.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "155727 Molly Marshall Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7072/155727%20Molly%20Marshall%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "155727 Molly Marshall Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "155727 Marshall Molly Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7072/155727%20Marshall%20Molly%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "155727 Molly Marshall Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7072/155727%20Molly%20Marshall%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]09/18/2024 10:22:55 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(EY '19) (Oct '19)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.55.010/42.17A.700, RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed on October 14, 2019. The complaint alleged that Clay Shaya, a write-in candidate for Whatcom County Sheriff in the November 5, 2019 general election, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.205 for failure to file a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) within two weeks of declaring candidacy; (2) RCW 42.17A.700 for failure to file a Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) within two weeks of declaring candidacy; and (3) RCW 42.17A.235 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; and the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Mr. Shaya has no filing history with the PDC as a candidate or appointed official and has not been found in violation of PDC laws or rules. He was not successful in the election for Whatcom County Sheriff and the small number of votes he may have received as a write-in candidate appears to have had little impact on the final outcome of the election as the total votes for all write-ins accounted for only 0.17%.</p><p>During its review, staff found evidence to suggest that Mr. Shaya was a candidate as defined in RCW 42.17A.005(8) and was required by RCW 42.17A.205 to file a C-1 report and by RCW 42.17A.700 to file an F-1 report, both by no later than September 27, 2019. Despite numerous attempts to illicit a response from Mr. Shaya regarding this evidence, staff has had no communication from him, and the C-1 report and F-1 report have not been received.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely file the C-1 report as a candidate and a candidate F-1 report covering the previous twelve months, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Mr. Shaya received a formal written warning concerning failure to timely file a C-1 report and F-1 report as a candidate for local office in 2019.

The complaint alleged that Anna Rohrbough, a candidate for Snohomish County Council, Position 2 in 2019, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.555 for misuse of public facilities by using a county sheriff’s ride-along event to benefit her 2019 election campaign; and (2) RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to include complete sponsor identification in online political advertisement paid for by the 2019 campaign.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; PDC Interpretation 04-02; and the response provided by Anna Rohrbough, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>The complaint included an additional allegation regarding a possible breech of the signed contract Ms. Rohrbough agreed to when participating in the ride-along related to the use of what she observed during the event. Apart from the portion of the ride-along event resulting in a possible violation of RCW 42.17A.555, staff found this allegation to be outside of the PDC’s jurisdiction and did not address this part of the complaint.</p><p>Anna Rohrbough is a current elected official and was a candidate for a separate county-wide office in 2019. It appears that her failure to disclose a complete sponsor identification for online poltical advertisement sponsored by her campaign, was due to a misunderstanding the applicable statute. Sponsor identification is used to inform the public who has paid for or sponsored a political advertisement. Although the half dozen online advertisements referenced above did not contain the mailing address of the sponsor required in RCW 42.17A.320, the sponsor was still clearly identified as the 2019 Campaign to Elect Anna Rohrbough.</p><p>Staff found no evidence to prove that Ms. Rohrbough used the ride-along event to support her campaign. Ms. Rohrbough responded promptly to the complaint and has not previously been found in violation of PDC laws or rules. </p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to include complete sponsor identification in online advertisements paid for by the candidate’s campaign, does not amount to a finding of a violation warranting further investigation.</p><p>PDC staff reminded Anna Rohrbough about the importance of including sponsor identification, including the name and address of the sponsor, as required on written political advertisements in accordance with the statutes and rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/597070.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "59707 Rohrbough Anna Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3370/59707%20Rohrbough%20Anna%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "59707 Rorhbough Anna Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3370/59707%20Rorhbough%20Anna%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "59707 Rohrbough Anna Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3370/59707%20Rohrbough%20Anna%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]01/02/2020 04:54:50 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

(EY '19; Oct '19)RCW 29B.30.050/42.17A.320Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - Local<p>The PDC received a complaint alleging that Peter Miller (the “Respondent”) may have violated RCW 42.17A.320 by failing to identify the sponsor on political advertising (e.g. billboard). PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules and reporting requirements; and the response provided by the Respondent to determine whether they support a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>RCW 42.17A.320 requires political advertising to include the sponsor’s name and address.</p><p>During the 2019 election, the Respondent and fellow candidate Malia Hollowell co-sponsored advertising that appeared on a billboard in Maple Valley, Washington. The billboard did not include the names & addresses of the billboard’s sponsors.</p><p>The Respondent is a first-time candidate who said he was unaware of the sponsor identification requirements for political advertising. He indicated his erroneous belief that sponsor identification is not required for advertising that candidates pay for themselves. Upon being notified of the complaint on October 16, 2019, the Respondent immediately took steps to resolve non-compliance by contacting the billboard company the same day and instructing them to reprint the advertising.

The contribution had been made in error, and after being made aware of the error once the complaint had been filed, the Mike Kreidler Surplus funds account requested the Denny Heck Campaign refund the contribution. The $500 contribution was refunded and received by the Mike Kreidler Surplus funds account on March 9, 2020. </p><p>On April 9, 2020, the Mike Kreidler Surplus funds account filed the March 2020 reports disclosing the deposit date of the $500 refunded contribution from the Denny Heck Campaign as being March 10, 2020. </p><p>On April 16, 2020, Commissioner Kreidler completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) and paid a $150 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging a violation of RCW 42.17A.430 by using surplus funds to make a prohibited $500 monetary contribution to the 2018 Denny Heck for Congress Campaign. The $150 penalty assessed in this matter resolves the issue of making a prohibited surplus expenditure. </p><p>PDC staff found no evidence of a material violation concerning the remaining allegations that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance. Staff found that the surplus fund expenditures identified in the complaint, with the exception of the $500 contribution to the Denny Heck Campaign, were for official office related and/or team building activities, and for official office related travel, and thus permissible expenditures. </p><p>Those permissible expenditures included: (1) office parties, annual holiday events, retirement parties for Insurance Commissioner Office staff; (2) entry fees and other costs associated with joining the State Agency Softball League, and other activities that boost Insurance Commissioner Officer morale and promote team building; and (3) expenditures made to Commissioner Kreidler reimbursing him for out-of-pocket expenses he incurred while attending the annual National Association of Insurance Commissioner’s (NAIC), and other insurance industry-related meetings, roundtables, etc. while serving in his official capacity.</p><p>The PDC has dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/65459150.000.000.00150.000.00false[{"file_name" : "65459 Kreidler Mike (2) Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3541/65459%20Kreidler%20Mike%20%282%29%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "65459 Kreidler Mike (2) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3541/65459%20Kreidler%20Mike%20%282%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Kreidler Mike Surplus Funds Complaint Return Ltr with SOU Cover Letter (Morgan) PDC Case 65459.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3541/Kreidler%20Mike%20Surplus%20Funds%20Complaint%20Return%20Ltr%20with%20SOU%20Cover%20Letter%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20Case%2065459.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "SoU _ 65459 _ Kreidler.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3541/SoU%20_%2065459%20_%20Kreidler.pdf", "description" : "SoU Kriedler", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}][{"who" : "Mike Kriedler", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2020-04-30", "amount" : 150.00, "description" : null, "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2020-04-16", "amount" : 150.00, "description" : "Paid"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]04/20/2020 01:41:51 PMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

35576907104/20/202004/19/202006/25/2020Helen Clarice SurprenantRetired Firefighters of WashingtonRetired Firefighters of Washington: Alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.205, .235 & .240 for failure to timely & accurately register as a political committee, and report contributions & expenditures for election years 2016 -2020. (Apr ’20)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240, RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsPolitical Committee - Education<p>The PDC received a complaint alleging that Retired Firefighters of Washington (the “Respondent”) may have violated RCW 42.17A.205 by failing to timely register as a political committee, and RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 by not reporting contribution and expenditure activities undertaken in calendar years 2015-2020 on C-3 & C-4 reports. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules and reporting requirements; the responses provided by the Respondent; and the Respondent’s reporting history to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>According to PDC Interpretation 07-02, Primary Purpose Test Guidelines, an entity becomes a political committee if they become a “receiver of contributions” to support or oppose candidates or ballot propositions, or if spending funds to support or oppose candidates or ballot propositions become one of its primary purposes. Under the “maker of expenditures” prong, an organization may be required to register as a political committee if one of its primary purposes includes political campaign activity, but an organization would not be required to register solely because one of its primary purposes was to attempt to influence state or local legislation (lobbying).</p><p>PDC staff found that the Respondent’s primary purpose is not to make contributions, but rather to keep its members informed about legislative activities that would impact their retirement benefits and pensions. The Respondent indicated that it receives its funding from 1) membership dues and 2) unsolicited voluntary donations from members, which are held in separate accounts. The membership dues are primarily used for educational and member outreach purposes. Members’ voluntary donations are used to finance lobbying activities and make a relatively small amount of contributions to candidates. PDC records indicate that the Respondent spends between 10-20% of its money on lobbying, as well as member communication and other issues. The majority of the Respondent’s activities do not appear to involve making contributions to candidates for public office or electoral political activity. The portion of overall spending attributed to lobbying and candidate contributions is relatively small. </p><p>While the Respondent did make expenditures in the form of monetary contributions to candidates, the above findings suggest that it did not meet the primary purpose test and the activity was insufficient to trigger the registration requirements as a political committee. PDC staff determined that, in this instance, failure to register and report as a political committee does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation and dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/690710.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "69071 Retired Firefighters of Washington Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3557/69071%20Retired%20Firefighters%20of%20Washington%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "69071 Retired Firefighters of WA Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3557/69071%20Retired%20Firefighters%20of%20WA%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "69071 Retired Fire Fighters of WA supplemental info.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3557/69071%20Retired%20Fire%20Fighters%20of%20WA%20supplemental%20info.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "69071 Retired Fire Fighters of WA supplemental 2.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3557/69071%20Retired%20Fire%20Fighters%20of%20WA%20supplemental%202.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "69071 Retired Firefighters of WA Complaint Return.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3557/69071%20Retired%20Firefighters%20of%20WA%20Complaint%20Return.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]03/17/2021 03:19:24 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

(EY '19; Oct '19)RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Resolved with Technical CorrectionCandidate - Local<p>The PDC received a complaint alleging that Steven. C Fox (the “Respondent”) may have violated RCW 42.17A.240 by failing to provide sufficient expenditure details on C-4 reports filed with the PDC. PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; and the Respondent’s reporting history to determine whether they support a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>RCW 42.17A.240(6) requires candidates to report the name & address of each person to whom an expenditure is made in the aggregate amount of more than $50 during the period covered by the report, including the amount, date and purpose of each expenditure. Pursuant to WAC 390-16-037, expenditures disclosed on the C-4 report should be described “in detail,” including how the recipient of the expenditure (e.g. vendor) will use the goods and/or services purchased, and numerical descriptions (e.g. the number of items printed). </p><p>The Respondent filed two C-4 reports in 2019 that appeared to lack expenditure details regarding signs, mailings, and a reimbursed Visa card purchase. Upon being notified of the complaint, the Respondent immediately responded and indicated that he was unable to find a statutory requirement to report the number of signs purchased and had followed the PDC’s instructions for reporting an expenditure made with a personal credit card. The Respondent explained that his campaign had entered expenditure details into the ORCA filing system that, due to field length limitations, were truncated and did not appear on the reports that were publicly available on the PDC’s website.</p><p>The Respondent amended his C-4 reports on October 22, 2019 to include the number of signs and mailers purchased. The expenditure details for the credit card purchase were also updated, although a portion of the description still truncates due to ORCA field length limits. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to provide detailed expenditure descriptions on C-4 reports does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. </p><p>The Respondent made minor or ministerial errors on required reports, which did not materially impact the public interest. Upon being notified of the errors, the Respondent timely amended his reports, making the necessary technical corrections requested by PDC staff. The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/589190.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "58919 Fox Steven Technical Correction Ltr.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3298/58919%20Fox%20Steven%20Technical%20Correction%20Ltr.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "58919 Fox Steven C Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3298/58919%20Fox%20Steven%20C%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "58919 Fox Steven C Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3298/58919%20Fox%20Steven%20C%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]04/26/2021 02:46:13 PMPDC staff resolved case after correction of minor or ministerial error.

The Complainant, Glen Morgan, alleged that Greg Kimsey, incumbent Clark County Auditor, a candidate for re-election to office in 2022, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and RCW 42.17A.240 by failing to disclose a transfer of surplus funds to his 2022 campaign committee.</p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>On February 9, 2019, Greg Kimsey filed a candidate registration selecting the Full Reporting Option and listing Mr. Kimsey as the Treasurer. Mr. Kimsey is the incumbent Clark County Auditor since being elected to the office in 1999.</li><li>Greg Kimsey has a registered surplus funds account, identified as Kimsey Gregory A Surplus Acct (Surplus), and has filed reports disclosing activities since 2001.</li><li>On March 8, 2019, the 2022 Campaign to Re-elect Greg Kimsey (Campaign) filed a Monetary Contributions report (C-3 report) disclosing the receipt of a $7,000 transfer of surplus funds from the Surplus account as ‘Miscellaneous Receipt’.</li><li>In accordance with RCW 42.17A.235, Mr. Kimsey is required to file a C-4 report whenever funds expended exceed $200 since the last report was filed. The $7,000 transfer of funds from the Surplus account was required to be disclosed on a C-4 report no later than April 10, 2019.</li><li>Once he was notified of the complaint and the filing omission, Mr. Kimsey took prompt action by contacting PDC Filer Assistance, and on October 12, 2022, he filed the missing Surplus account C-4 report.</li></ul><p>The late filing of the C-4 report for the Surplus account is mitigated by the facts that Greg Kimsey has no prior PDC violations, and the campaign timely disclosed the $7,000 transfer of funds from the Surplus account into the Campaign account. </p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely file the C-4 report covering March 2019 does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Greg Kimsey will receive a formal written warning concerning the failure to timely disclose the transfer of funds from the Surplus account into the Campaign account. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Greg Kimsey will timely file all required reports for both Surplus and Campaign funds for the remainder of this election cycle and for all future campaigns, and for any future surplus fund expenditures. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1130700.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Gkimsey Response 10122022.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5578/Gkimsey%20Response%2010122022.pdf", "description" : "113070 Kimsey Greg Response", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113070 Kimsey Greg Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5578/113070%20Kimsey%20Greg%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "113070 Kimsey Greg Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113070 Kimsey Greg Warning Letter (Combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5578/113070%20Kimsey%20Greg%20Warning%20Letter%20%28Combined%29.pdf", "description" : "113070 Kimsey Greg Warning Letter", "document_type" : "Warning"}]11/02/2022 04:37:31 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

PDC guidance (PDC Interpretation 04-02) for local government agencies in election campaigns states the use of self-purchased uniforms is permitted to support a campaign. </p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined, in this instance, the alleged use of public facilities of South Snohomish Fire and Rescue to assist David Chan’s re-election campaign and the campaign of another candidate, does not amount to a violation warranting further investigation. <br><br>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/593800.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "59380 Chan David (4) Complaint Response with attachment_.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3341/59380%20Chan%20David%20%284%29%20Complaint%20Response%20with%20attachment_.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "PDC Case 59380 David Chan (4) closed no violation.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3341/PDC%20Case%2059380%20David%20Chan%20%284%29%20closed%20no%20violation.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "59380 Chan David (4) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3341/59380%20Chan%20David%20%284%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]06/16/2020 11:20:36 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The flyer identified the top five contributors to the campaign as FairVote Washington, Jon DeVaan, Shel Kaphan, Rebecca Liebman, and Janet Brownell. The Complainant believed FairVote Action and not FairVote Washington should have been identified on the flyer.<br>• Per reporting in C-4 #110120985, the flyer cost was obligated to Moxie Media on October 5, 2022. This date is established as the date the advertisement was submitted to the publisher for publication.<br>• Additionally, the Complainant reported the committee maintained a campaign webpage and provided a screen shot, from approximately November 15, 2022, of the webpage. The webpage also indicated the top five contributors to the campaign as FairVote Washington, Jon DeVaan, Shel Kaphan, Rebecca Liebman, and Janet Brownell. The Complainant believes FairVote Action and not FairVote Washington should have been identified on the webpage.<br>• Jason Bennett, Ministerial Treasurer for the committee, indicated the webpage was created approximately in late August 2022. It was “updated at least twice since the ballots dropped in October” but because the site had been deleted at the time the complaint review was occurring, logs of when the webpage was updated no longer exist. Nevertheless, based on PDC staff’s use of a web archiving tool, https://web.archive.org/ , two instances of the webpage were discovered from October 4, 2022, and October 12, 2022. The top five contributors identified in these two instances of the webpage are the same donors as provided in Mr. Bangs’ complaint screen shot from November 15, 2022.<br>• On May 7, 2022, FairVote Washington, made an in-kind donation of $180 to the committee. The donation was the only donation made by FairVote Washington to the committee, during the campaign, but debt to FairVote Washington was incurred by the committee starting with the reporting period of 8/1/22 running through 12/31/22. A donation from FairVote Action, for $10,000, was received on 10/21/22. PDC staff reviewed the C-3 reports and confirmed the other identified donors did donate during the period specific to the creation of the flyer and the webpage. These donors met the statutory definition of a top five contributor per WAC 390-18-025.<br>• In his response December 2, 2022, Mr. Bennett explained the committee chose to identify FairVote Washington as a top five contributor on both the flyer and the webpage because “FairVote Washington will be inkinding some work on behalf of the committees so we thought it more transparent to include them in the Top 5 should the committees not raise enough money to reimburse FairVote Washington for work performed on behalf of the committees.”<br>• The committee did timely submit all required reports for Cash Receipts Monetary Contributions (C-3) and Summary Full Reports Receipts and Expenditures (C-4). These reports appear to accurately identify contributors, cash or in-kind amounts donated, debts and obligations. The committee filed a C-3 on January 27, 2023, reporting a cash contribution, received on 1/19/23, from FairVote Washington and a C-4 for the period 1/1/23-1/31/23 reporting all prior obligations as zero balances.<br>• The committee has expressed that it was not a proper assumption on their part to have identified FairVote Washington as a top five contributor based on incurring debt and forecasting the debt would be made in-kind if funds were not raised to cover the debt.<br>• Respondent does not have previous warnings or violations of PDC requirements.<br>Neither the date the political flyer was received by the public nor the date a committee webpage was accessed determine whether the identification of top donors was accurate in this case. WAC 390-18-025 identifies the “date on which the advertisement is published or otherwise presented to the public” is the point-in-time date which the top five contributors must be identified. As well, there is no statutory obligation to continually update a webpage or manually amend a flyer if larger contributions are received once the webpage or flyer are published.<br> </p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, no evidence supports a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.<br> </p><p>PDC staff is reminding Ranked Choice Voting for San Juan County about the importance of following sponsor identification and top donor requirements. When the reported top donors don’t match contribution records, the information can obscure who is funding the campaign just as easily as providing too little information. PDC staff expects in the future that the Respondent will adhere to RCW 42.17A.320 & .350 and PDC Interpretation No. 07-04 as well as any future PDC guidance, laws, and rules.<br> </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1139650.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "113965 Ranked Choice Voting for San Juan County Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5611/113965%20Ranked%20Choice%20Voting%20for%20San%20Juan%20County%20Response.pdf", "description" : "113965 Ranked Choice Voting for San Juan County Response", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113965 Ranked Choice Voting for San Juan County Secondary Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5611/113965%20Ranked%20Choice%20Voting%20for%20San%20Juan%20County%20Secondary%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "113965 Ranked Choice Voting for San Juan County Secondary Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113965 Ranked Choice Voting for San Juan Co Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5611/113965%20Ranked%20Choice%20Voting%20for%20San%20Juan%20Co%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113965 Ranked Choice Voting for San Juan County Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5611/113965%20Ranked%20Choice%20Voting%20for%20San%20Juan%20County%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "113965 Ranked Choice Voting for San Juan County Complaint Return Letter", "document_type" : "Reminder"}]03/12/2024 02:31:37 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The complaint alleged that the Snohomish County Democrats, a bona fide county party committee registered with the PDC during calendar years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 & .240: (1) for failure to timely file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) and; (2) RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 for failure to include detailed vendor information for in-kind contributions.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and supporting documentation; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Chair Monica Chilton and Treasurer Eric Valpey, on behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that although the Snohomish County Democrats did submit campaign reports late ranging from calendar year 2018 forward, many of the expenses were for party building activities, utilities and overhead. The late reported contributions made by the Respondent were mitigated by the fact that the recipients of those contributions timely disclosed them to the public before the election. Staff noted that the majority of reports filed in 2018 and discussed in the complaint are beyond the statute of limitations for any enforcement action.</p><p>Staff found no evidence that the Snohomish County Democrats purposely filed late or inaccurate campaign reports in order to conceal its activities from the public or adversely affect the outcome of previous elections.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately file campaign reports dating back from calendar year 2018 forward, including details of in-kind contribution activities, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, the Respondent will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately file reports disclosing campaign activity. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that the Snohomish County Democrats timely and accurately files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed all allegations in this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1417070.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141707 Snohomish County Democrats Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6131/141707%20Snohomish%20County%20Democrats%20%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "141707 Snohomish County Democrats Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6131/141707%20Snohomish%20County%20Democrats%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141707 Snohomish County Democrats Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6131/141707%20Snohomish%20County%20Democrats%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]11/16/2023 07:28:13 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

These cases have been resolved accordingly:<ul><li>#114357, Ranked Choice Voting for Clark County dismissed as unfounded.</li><li>#113965, Ranked Choice Voting for San Juan County dismissed with a reminder.</li><li>#114358 Ranked Choice Voting for Seattle dismissed with a warning.</li></ul></li><li>On December 21, 2022, the FairVote Washington committee filed a new Incidental Committee Registration (C-1ic) with the PDC. FairVote Washington is also registered with the Washington Secretary of State as a 501(c)(4) organization.</li><li>The C-1ic registration indicated support for political committees including, Ranked Choice Voting for Clark County, Ranked Choice Voting for San Juan County, and Ranked Choice Voting for Seattle. The committee is also affiliated to FairVote WA PAC.</li><li>The Complainant reported “the respondent maintains a website (<a href="https://fairvotewa.org/">https://fairvotewa.org/</a>) that supports three campaigns in Washington for the 2022 General Election. The campaigns are (1) Ranked Choice Voting for Seattle, (2) Ranked Choice Voting for Clark County, and (3) Ranked Choice Voting for San Juan County. The website contains webpages for each of these campaigns that lists the alleged Top Five Contributors to each campaign. In addition, the respondent is the contact identified on an advertising flyer mailed to the registered voters of San Juan County and which lists the alleged Top Five Contributors to the Rank Choice Voting for San Juan County campaign. The respondent has provided false and misleading advertising for the 2022 General Election in three different jurisdictions (City of Seattle, Clark County, and San Juan County) and is in violation of RCW 42.17A.320 and RCW 42.17A.350 that political advertising must provide information on the top five contributors.”</li><li>Jason Bennett of Argo Strategies, the Ministerial Treasurer for the three RCV committees, responded to questions about the FairVote Washington website and the three RCV committee webpages. According to Mr. Bennett, each of the RCV webpages were created sometime in late August and the FairVote Washington website had been active for an unknown amount of time (an exact start date was not available), and the FairVote Washington website was not created specifically for the RCV campaigns. Mr. Bennett also clarified the relationship between FairVote Washington and the RCV campaigns indicating that FairVote Washington was “a donating organization who provided staff time (and then were reimbursed at later dates when money allowed) to the three ballot measure campaigns.” The RCV Seattle campaign’s webpage was designed by Higgins Design. The other two ballot measures did not have their own domains and were subpages of the FairVote Washington website. These webpages were created by FairVote Washington staff. “Blue Host was the hosting company for the Seattle campaign, FairVote WA and the extra pages added for the San Juan and Clark campaigns.” FairVote Washington staff “provided time updating the website.” </li><li>As an Incidental Committee, and not a candidate or political committee, FairVote Washington was required, per RCW 42.17A.320, to provide sponsor identification on their website. In this instance, it was found that FairVote Washington did include “Paid for by FairVote Washington” on their website as required. There is not a requirement for an incidental committee to identify the top five contributors on their political advertising.</li><li>Neither FairVote Washington nor the RCV committees were able to provide screenshots of the webpages at their creation or for any other time during the campaign. PDC staff was able to use a web archiving tool, <a href="https://web.archive.org/">https://web.archive.org/</a>, to recreate some of the history for each of the webpages. The archived webpages show how a webpage appeared at a specific time and date but are not a comprehensive record of the webpage history.</li><li>In the Ranked Choice Voting for Clark County case, #114357, the webpage was created in late August 2022, and it was determined the webpage correctly identified the top five contributors at the point in time of 10/12/22 and those contributors did meet the statutory definition of a top five contributor per WAC 390-18-025. These are the same contributors identified in Mr. Bang’s screenshot from November 15, 2022.</li><li>In the Ranked Choice Voting for San Juan County case, #113965, the webpage was created in late August 2022, and it was determined the webpage did identify top five contributors at the point in time of 10/4/2022. FairVote Washington was included as a top five contributor because, as Mr. Bennett explained, “FairVote Washington will be inkinding some work on behalf of the committees so we thought it more transparent to include them in the Top 5 should the committees not raise enough money.” The contributors did meet the statutory definition of a top five contributor per WAC 390-18-025. These are the same contributors identified in Mr. Bang’s screenshot from November 15, 2022. As well, the political flyer that was mailed by the committee and received by Mr. Bangs on or about November 5, 2022, was also determined to have included correct top five contributors based on the point in time of 10/5/2022. This date is when the flyer cost was obligated to the publisher and therefore determined as submitted for publication.</li><li>In the Ranked Choice Voting for Seattle case, #114358, the webpage was created on approximately August 20, 2022. Again, using the web archiving tool, PDC staff were able to recreate five instances of the webpage between August 19, 2022, to October 20, 2022. On 8/19/22 the webpage appeared to be in development and did not indicate a sponsor or any top five contributors. On dates 9/20/22, 9/26/22 and 10/7/22 the webpage indicated sponsorship as “Paid for by Ranked-Choice Voting for Seattle” but did not include any top five contributors. Then on 10/20/22 the first instance of top five contributors appears on the webpage. The top five contributors identified in this last instance of the webpage are the same contributors as provided in Mr. Bangs’ complaint screen shot from November 15, 2022. These contributors met the statutory definition of a top five contributor per WAC 390-18-025 but were not necessarily the contributors who donated the most based on a point-in-time as reported in the reports for Cash Receipts Monetary Contributions (C3). <ul><li>Per Mr. Bangs’ complaint, PDC staff confirmed the following identified contributors did donate prior to the point in time of Mr. Bangs’ webpage screenshot:<ul><li>On October 14, 2022, Frederik Schaffaltizky contributed $25,0000.</li><li>FairVote Action contributed on October 14th $200,000 and on October 31st $190,000.</li><li>FairVote Washington contributed $50,000 on October 25th and $30,000 on October 28, 2022.</li></ul></li><li>The committee has expressed agreement the webpage was missing any indication of top five contributors between the period 8/19/22 – 10/7/22. During this period, based on C3 reports, the top five contributors who could have been identified depending on the date the webpage was published included:<ul><li>Sarah Poore (1 contribution of $2,500, 1 contribution of $10,000) </li></ul></li><li>Without a comprehensive log of the webpage updates, an exact date cannot be pinpointed, but at some point, between 10/7/22 and 10/20/22 the webpage was updated, and top five contributors were added. There are several possibilities for who could have been identified as a top five contributor during this period to include:<ul><li>10/14/22 – Frederick Schaffaltizky $25,000</li><li>10/14/22 – FairVote Action $200,000</li><li>10/17/22 – Jabe Blumenthal $7500 or Julie Esdforth $7,500</li></ul></li></ul></li><li>Elaine Nonneman ($5,000) or Shel Kaphan ($5,000)</li><li>David Bangs (2 contributions of $2,500)</li><li>Leigh Bangs (2 contributions of $2,500) </li><li>Robert Poore (1 contribution of $2,500, 1 contribution of $10,000)</li><li>All the RCV committee webpages indicated the correct sponsor identification, per RCW 42.17A.320, at the point in time the webpage archive history was available.</li><li>Neither the date a political flyer was received by the public nor the date a committee webpage was accessed is determinative of whether the identification of top donors was accurate in this case. WAC 390-18-025 identifies the “date on which the advertisement is published or otherwise presented to the public” is the point-in-time date which the top five contributors must be identified. As well, there is no statutory obligation to continually update a webpage or manually alter a flyer if larger contributions are received once the webpage or flyer are published.</li><li>Respondent does not have previous warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(f), however, FairVote Washington completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) and paid a $150 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging violations of:</p><ol><li>RCW 42.17A.207 for failing to file a Political Committee Registration (C-1ic) within three business days of having met the criteria outlined in statute in the last three weeks before an election.</li><li>RCW 42.17A.235 and RCW 42.17A.240 for: (1) failing to file the Incidental Committee Payments and Political Expenditures report (C-8) at the time the C-1ic was filed, and (2) by failing to file subsequent C-8 reports containing the information required by RCW 42.17A.240 and at the intervals outlined in RCW 42.17A.235(2).</li><li>RCW 42.17A.240 for failing to certify as correct by the treasurer expenditures made in the aggregate amount of more than fifty dollars during the period covered by the first C-8 report.</li></ol><p>The $150 penalty assessed resolves the violations listed above.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/114356150.000.000.00150.000.00false[{"file_name" : "SOU - 114356 - FairVote WA.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5626/SOU%20-%20114356%20-%20FairVote%20WA.pdf", "description" : "SOU - 114356 - FairVote WA", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "114356 FairVote Washington Complaint Return Letter (combined) 02152023.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5626/114356%20FairVote%20Washington%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29%2002152023.pdf", "description" : "114356 FairVote Washington Complaint Return Letter", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "114356 FairVote Washington Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5626/114356%20FairVote%20Washington%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "114356 FairVote Washington Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "FairVote Washington Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5626/FairVote%20Washington%20Response.pdf", "description" : "114356 FairVote Washington Response", "document_type" : ""}][{"who" : "FairVote Washington", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2023-02-15", "amount" : 150.00, "description" : "Statement of Understanding", "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2023-02-15", "amount" : 150.00, "description" : "PAID - SOU"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]03/12/2024 03:01:56 PMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

(2) RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contributions and Expenditures Reports (C-4 reports) and Monetary Contributions Reports (C-3 reports) disclosing contribution and expenditure activities, that included: (a) filing a number of C-3 and C-4 reports late; (b) not providing the required Employer and Occupation information for individuals making monetary and in-kind contributions above the reporting threshold (see also WAC 390-16-034); (c) missing expenditure details for political advertising such as the number of signs, mailers, or bumper stickers printed; and (d) lacking the sub-vendor breakdown information for other expenditures in which the goods or services were subcontracted out to another party. (3) RCW 42.17A.320 by failing to include the party preference Semi Bird selected on his Candidate Registration for several political advertisements sponsored by his Campaign. (4) RCW 42.17A.405 by receiving contributions that exceeded the 2024 contribution limits for a Gubernatorial Campaign.</p><p>On November 12, 2022, Misipati Semi Bird filed a Candidate Registration with the PDC declaring his candidacy for Governor of the State of Washington in 2024, selecting the Full Reporting option, and initially listing the candidate as Treasurer. The Campaign filed several amended Candidate Registrations between November 28, 2022 and January 4, 2024, listing different Campaign officers and information, and on January 22, 2024, the Campaign filed an Amended Candidate Registration listing Kellie Crabb as Treasurer.</p><p><strong>Allegation – Failure to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports providing the required Employer and Occupation for individuals contributing above the threshold for disclosure and providing the required expenditure details (RCW 42.17A.235 and .240): </strong></p><p>PDC staff’s review of the Campaign filings found that between December 27-28, 2023, the Campaign filed 26 amended C-3 and C-4 reports to address the allegations listed in the multiple complaints that were related to this matter, providing the required contribution and expenditure information. In addition, the Campaign filed four amended C-4 reports on January 10, 2024, providing additional corrected information. The Campaign stated in their responses that they filed amended C-3 reports to update the contributor information “to reflect the requested changes, thus addressing Mr. Hillard's complaint in regards to employer and occupation information.” The Campaign has “developed a worksheet and quality control checklist to ensure all required donor information is captured prior to submission to the campaign treasurer” to file the C-3 reports more accurately. Staff queried, downloaded, and reviewed the Campaign’s contributors from the PDC contribution database, and this information verified the Campaign filed amended C-3 reports disclosing updated contributor Employer and Occupation information for the individuals identified in the complaint. Staff noted that several of the individual contributors made multiple contributions and that the earliest contributions did not meet the threshold for providing the Employer and Occupation information, and those C-3 reports were not amended. </p><p>The amended C-4 reports filed by the Campaign provided the required expenditure details and sub-vendor breakdowns for expenditures made to third party subcontractors. The Campaign stated that “even though all C-4 reports filed had a description of the expenditure, we have updated each item to reflect additional expenditure details, to include the specific number/amount of an item(s) purchased.” Staff reviewed the amended C-4 reports filed by the Campaign concerning the updated expenditure details, and verified the Campaign provided the required information such as the number of signs produced, or mailers/flyers printed.</p><p><strong>Allegation – Failure to include the party preference on political advertising sponsored by the Campaign (RCW 42.17A.320):</strong></p><p>The Campaign response stated: “we have taken immediate action on all Semi Bird for Governor political advertisements to ensure that they include either the "R" for the Republican party or have the word “Republican” spelled out as specified in the Candidate Registration.” The corrective action taken by the Campaign was applied to all forms of political advertisements that included radio and television broadcast ads, yard signs, billboards, and other campaign related paraphernalia. In addition, the Campaign reviewed all online platforms that included the “Campaign website, Campaign Facebook page, and other social media sites, as well as future Google and Facebook ads/boosted posts, now accurately reflect the party preference.”</p><p><strong>Allegation – Exceeding contribution limits and spending general election contributions prior to the primary election being held (RCW 42.17A.405):</strong></p><p>The Campaign stated that after a “closer examination, we found the campaign did not exceed contribution limits.” The Campaign stated concerning the first allegation that it involved contributions received from a father and son, and that both were contributors who shared “identical names.” The Campaign stated the remaining two allegations of exceeding contribution limits “have been clarified” and that one issue involved “a duplicate entry error concerning the reporting of donations, while the other involved the misclassification of an individual family” contribution that had been received. The Campaign stated that both issues have now been rectified and reiterated that the “campaign did not spend ‘general election’ funds for the ‘primary<br>election.’”</p><p><strong>Allegation – The Campaign failed to timely deposit monetary contributions into the campaign bank account within five business days of receipt.</strong></p><p>One of the complaints alleged that the Campaign received 19 monetary contributions but had failed to timely deposit those contributions within five business days of receipt into the Campaign bank account as required by statute. The 19 contributions listed in the complaint were deposited between 1 to 39 days late, involved monetary contributions that were received between December 8, 2022, through October 14, 2023, and deposited by the Campaign for amounts that varied between $30 to $250. </p><p>The Campaign stated they are aware of the requirement to timely deposit contributions into the Campaign bank account or depository. The responses to the complaints stated that the Campaign is “committed to depositing all monetary contributions within five business days of receipt. Lastly, our team is dedicated to<br>maintaining the highest standards in our campaign compliance with the PDC.”</p><p><strong>Allegation – The Campaign failed to disclose an advertisement in the Kitsap County publication the “Coffee News” and no expenditures have been reported for the candidate undertaking a podcast (RCW 42.17A.240):</strong></p><p>The Campaign stated there were no expenditures made to purchase an advertisement in the Coffee News, and that the advertisement in question “was an in kind donation that was recorded with the PDC on 11-30-23.” With regards to the podcast, the Campaign stated that prior to running for office, Semi Bird “specialized in training and development”, that the “podcast studio is located in the candidate’s home, therefore there is no studio cost. The software to run the podcast was a free download, therefore there is no production cost. Any equipment used for the podcast was owned by the candidate.” </p><p>The Campaign stated that, “to enhance our compliance with PDC reporting requirements, the campaign will implement a set of robust internal controls and practices,” and that those measures will address the allegations listed in your complaints concerning the timely filing of C-3 and C-4 reports, the timely depositing within five business days for contributions received, timely providing the Employer and Occupation information for certain contributions received, and expenditure details, particularly for political advertising.</p><p>Those internal control measures include the following: (1) Regular Audits: The Campaign will conduct internal audits to review the financial records and books of account to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the PDC reports filed. (2) Staff Training: The Campaign will provide training to staff concerning PDC regulations and reporting requirements “to foster a culture of awareness and compliance.” (3) Designated Compliance Officer: The Campaign will appoint “a dedicated Compliance Officer to oversee and enforce adherence to PDC guidelines.” (4) Checklists: The Campaign will implement internal controls and processes that will involve the use of “checklists” to ensure the required attention to the PDC reporting requirements and to facilitate compliance with the PDC filing requirements.</p><p>Finally, staff’s review found two other complaints had been filed against the Campaign that included PDC Case 138400, a complaint filed on June 2, 2023; and PDC Case 115351, a complaint filed on December 15, 2022. Both matters/cases were resolved with a Formal Written Warning letter being issued, for minor violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 as follows: (1) Case 138400: the warning was for failing to timely disclose pledges received from individuals at an event hosted by the Ladies of Liberty Tri-Cities; and (2) Case 115351: the warning was for failing to timely file the initial C-3 and C-4 reports disclosing a $6,000 contribution received from Semi Bird to start his Campaign. Based on these findings, that included the Campaign initiating stronger internal controls to ensure Compliance with the PDC reporting requirements, staff determined in these instances, the Campaign’s failure to timely and accurately disclose expenditure details, the Employer and Occupation information for monetary contributions received from individuals on the C-3 and C-4 reports, and for failing to include the party preference on some political advertising sponsored by the Campaign, were not violations that warranted further investigation or enforcement action.</p><p>In addition, staff found no evidence that the Campaign exceeded contribution limits or spent general election contributions for the 2024 primary election. Staff reviewed the facts and findings concerning the two warning letters sent to the Campaign for alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 and took those findings into consideration when determining the proper resolution for the allegations listed in your complaints. Staff determined the two prior warning letters were mitigated by the following facts: (1) the late filed initial C-3 and C-4 reports filed by the Campaign only listed a $6,000 personal contribution from the candidate, and that information was disclosed more than 550 days before the August 2024 primary election; (2) concerning the failure to timely disclose pledges for future monetary contribution not yet received, those funds were not available for use by the Campaign, and the funds were received from individuals in attendance at a single event and ultimately disclosed well in advance of the election; and (3) the Campaign is for a statewide office and has received a total of $316,385 in monetary and in-kind contributions that included 1,151 separate contributions totaling $309,401, plus 32 of the C-3 reports filed disclosed small contributions totaling $6,984. In addition, the<br>Campaign disclosed $300,032 in total expenditures made through December 31, 2023.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-060(1)(d), the 2024 Semi Bird for Governor Campaign will receive a formal written warning concerning the failure to: (1) timely and accurately disclose expenditure details such as the number of mailers printed, or yard signs produced on the C-4 reports; (2) timely disclose the Employer and Occupation information for monetary contributions received from individuals above the disclosure threshold on the C-3 reports; (3) timely deposit monetary contributions within five business days of receipt; and (4) include the party preference on political advertising sponsored by the Campaign. The warning includes staff expectation that the Campaign will timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports for the remainder of the 2024 election cycle and will include the party preference on all future political advertisements sponsored by the Campaign.</p><p>The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws/rules. Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed the allegations in these complaints by the three of you in accordance with RCW<br>42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1454040.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "145404 Bird Misipati Semi Supplemental Complaint 2.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6342/145404%20Bird%20Misipati%20Semi%20Supplemental%20Complaint%202.pdf", "description" : "145404 Bird Misipati Semi Supplemental Complaint 2", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "145404 2024 Semi Bird for Governor 12-27-2023 Response to complaints.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6342/145404%202024%20Semi%20Bird%20for%20Governor%2012-27-2023%20Response%20to%20complaints.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "145404 Bird Misipati Semi Complaint3.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6342/145404%20Bird%20Misipati%20Semi%20Complaint3.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "145404 Bird Misipati Semi Complaint1.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6342/145404%20Bird%20Misipati%20Semi%20Complaint1.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "145404 Semi Bird for Governor Initial Response to complaints.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6342/145404%20Semi%20Bird%20for%20Governor%20Initial%20Response%20to%20complaints.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Semi Bird for Governor Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6342/Semi%20Bird%20for%20Governor%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "145404 Bird Misipati Semi Complaint2.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6342/145404%20Bird%20Misipati%20Semi%20Complaint2.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "145040 Bird Misipati Semi Supplemental Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6342/145040%20Bird%20Misipati%20Semi%20Supplemental%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "145040 Bird Misipati Semi Supplemental Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]09/19/2025 09:18:04 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The webpage indicated the top five contributors to the campaign as Robert Poore. FairVote Washington, David Bangs, Rebecca Liebman, and Shel Kaphan. The Complainant believes FairVote Action, which contributed $50,000 to the committee on Oct. 21, 2022, should have been identified on the webpage.</li><li>Jason Bennett, Ministerial Treasurer for the committee, indicated the webpage was created approximately in late August 2022. It was “updated at least twice since the ballots dropped in October” but because the site had been deleted at the time the complaint review was occurring, logs of when the webpage was updated no longer exist. Nevertheless, based on PDC staff’s use of a web archiving tool, <a href="https://web.archive.org/">https://web.archive.org/</a> , two instances of the webpage were discovered from October 4, 2022, and October 12, 2022. The 10/4/22 archived webpage did not appear to show top five contributors, but the top five contributors were identified on the 10/12/22 archived webpage and were the same donors as provided in Mr. Bangs’ complaint screen shot from November 15, 2022.</li><li>On May 25, 2022, FairVote Washington made an in-kind contribution of $15,375 to the committee. PDC staff reviewed the C-3 reports and confirmed the other identified donors also donated during the period specific to the first instance of the top five contributors being identified on the webpage. These donors met the statutory definition of a top five contributor per WAC 390-18-025. </li><li>The committee did timely submit all required reports for Cash Receipts Monetary Contributions (C-3) and Summary Full Reports Receipts and Expenditures (C-4). These reports appear to accurately identify contributors, cash or in-kind amounts donated, debts and obligations. The committee filed a C-3 on January 27, 2023, reporting a cash contribution, received on 1/19/23, from FairVote Washington and a C-4 for the period 1/1/23-1/31/23 reporting all prior obligations as zero balances. </li><li>Respondent does not have previous warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>The date a committee webpage was accessed is not determinative of whether the identification of top donors was accurate in this case. WAC 390-18-025 identifies the “date on which the advertisement is published or otherwise presented to the public” is the point-in-time date which the top five contributors must be identified.

While the use of a title is permitted in some instances, the use of other public agency facilities, such as staff time and equipment, is prohibited. As a result, the Op-Ed does not appear to meet the conditions set forth in the above rule.</p><p>WAC 390-05-271(2) indicates that .555 does not prevent a public officer or agency from 1) making facilities available on a nondiscriminatory, equal access basis for political uses; or 2) making an objective and fair presentation of facts relevant to a ballot proposition (commonly referred to as a “Fact Sheet”) provided such action is part of the office or agency’s normal and regular conduct. However, in the case of the November 19, 2024, Board Meeting, it appears that facilities were not made equally available to opponents of the ballot proposition and/or a No committee. In addition, the Op-Ed piece does not appear to qualify as a Fact Sheet because the content was not solely neutral and factual. Finally, to be considered “normal and regular” an activity must be lawful and not otherwise violate .555. </p><p>The PDC is charged with enforcing RCW 42.17.555, which requires consideration and analysis of activities that may or may not be determined to be in violation of the statute. Over the years, the PDC has developed methods of considering and analyzing activities engaged in by school districts and public offices. Among the factors considered are the normal and regular conduct of the district and the timing, tone, and tenor of their activities as compared with ballot measure elections. As in any matter where intent is to be considered, hard and fast rules that are applicable to all situations are difficult to establish.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), you are receiving a formal written warning concerning the use of public facilities for the purpose of supporting a ballot measure. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that you do not use public facilities for the purpose of supporting or opposing a candidate or ballot measure in the future. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.755">RCW 42.17A.755(1)</a>.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1662490.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "166249 Ridgefield School District Officials Supplemental Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7598/166249%20Ridgefield%20School%20District%20Officials%20Supplemental%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "166249 Ridgefield School District Complaint (3).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7598/166249%20Ridgefield%20School%20District%20Complaint%20%283%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "166249 Ridgefield School District Board of Directors Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7598/166249%20Ridgefield%20School%20District%20Board%20of%20Directors%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "166249 Ridgefield School District Officials Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "166249 Ridgefield SD Officials Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7598/166249%20Ridgefield%20SD%20Officials%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "166249 Ridgefield School District Board of Directors Warning Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7598/166249%20Ridgefield%20School%20District%20Board%20of%20Directors%20Warning%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]04/18/2025 12:07:04 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaint alleged that Charles Amerein, a candidate for Columbia County Commissioner in the 2022 election may have violated RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to include party preference and sponsor identification on a newspaper advertisement.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; and the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the omission of sponsor identification in the newspaper advertisement was unintentional and not done to purposely conceal the sponsor from the public. Staff noted that that Mr. Amerein took prompt corrective action to add the required sponsor ID to subsequent ads. Regarding the matter of party preference, staff found that although the placement requirements were not met, the text of the advertisement clearly identified the Respondent’s party. </p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to include sponsor identification on a newspaper advertisement paid for by the candidate and failure to place the candidate’s party preference apart from other text, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Charles Amerein will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to include sponsor identification and the required placement of party preference on a written political advertisement. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Mr. Amerein will review all written political advertisements done in the future to ensure they include any applicable sponsor identification that any party preference conforms with the placement requirements. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1116690.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "111669 Amerein Charles Warning - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5535/111669%20Amerein%20Charles%20Warning%20-%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "111669 Amerein Charles Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5535/111669%20Amerein%20Charles%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "111669 Charles Amerein Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5535/111669%20Charles%20Amerein%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "111669 Charles Amerein Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "111669 Amerein Charles Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5535/111669%20Amerein%20Charles%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]03/12/2024 03:33:15 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>The Respondent is a candidate for election who did not participate in the Primary Election. He registered as a candidate with the PDC on September 4, 2019 by filing a C-1 report and selected the Full Reporting Option, which triggers the requirement to file periodic C-3 & C-4 reports with the PDC based on the election cycle. </p><p>Upon being notified of the complaint, the Respondent indicated that his campaign did not solicit or collect contributions but had received in-kind contributions, which he previously attempted to report. The Respondent indicated that technical issues with the online filing system had frustrated compliance. He quickly took corrective action to disclose campaign activity for September & October and worked with the PDC to amend minor or ministerial errors on previously submitted reports. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to timely & accurately file two C-4 reports does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. However, the PDC reminded the Respondent about the importance of timely disclosing all contribution & expenditure activity, including in-kind donations, and timely filing all future PDC reports.

And on January 11, 2023, the Committee filed an updated Committee Registration with the PDC as a bona fide political party county committee, selecting the Full Reporting option, and listing Jennie Peterson as Chair; Paul Pickett as Vice-Chair; and Dale Nachreiner as Treasurer. </p><p>The Committee has filed C-3 and C-4 reports with the PDC dating back to 2007 for both the Limited and Unlimited accounts. Mr. Nachreiner stated that the “complainant, when listing the number of days of the late submission, used the amended submission date, not the original submission date when listing the days late.” The complaint also listed “a holiday as the due date, when it is PDC policy to move that date to the next business day.” </p><p>Mr. Nachreiner stated that almost one-half of the alleged late filed C-3 and C-4 reports were not filed late, and he added that “one almost feels that the complaint was as much harassment as protecting the public right to know where money in politics comes from and is going.” He attached an Excel spreadsheet along with the Committee’s response, that was copied from the original complaint spreadsheet submitted by Mr. Morgan, and he added a column providing comments or a reply for some of the “alleged late filed reports.” In addition, he provided the following year by year summary of the activities being alleged:</p><p>CY 2021-2023: The complaint alleged that twenty (20) C3 or C4 submissions listed in the complaint were filed late, and Mr. Nachreiner stated the following: (1) Seven of the alleged late filed C-3 reports listed in the complaint were due on a holiday, either July 4th or Labor Day, noting that the PDC reporting dates list the next day following the holiday as the due date. He stated that all seven C-3 reports were filed on the PDC due date. (2) Six of the reports listed as late, included three C-3 reports and three C-4 reports, were initially filed on the due date, but the complainant “used amended submission date, when showing the number of days late.” (3) Four of the C-4 reports listed in the complaint were as he stated “for the special submission dates 21- or 7-days before the primary. During my tenue, Clallam County Democrats did not participate in primaries.” He added that the Committee file monthly C-4 reports by the 10th of the next month, and that all four reports were timely filed. (4) One C-3 report was for contributions that were deposited directly into the Committee bank account “from PayPal and was not discovered” until he conducted a reconciliation of the bank statements in August 2022. He stated the C-3 report was filed late and that “this was an oversight.” (5) One C-4 report was not timely filed for one of the 21-Day Pre-General Election dates, which was an oversight by the Committee. He stated “there were no contributions or expenditures activity in this account for the past few months. Zero balance.” (6) One C-3 report (Rep No #110131396) “was submitted incorrectly. A check was issued to a vendor for a security deposit that would be returned if there was no damage to a rented space for a fundraiser. The expenditures were recorded and noted as a security deposit and rental space and listed in an earlier C4. Months later, after the event, the security deposit check was returned.” He stated that the C-3 report was filed once the check had been returned.</p><p>CY 2023: Mr. Nachreiner stated that one C-4 report was filed 21 days late and listed $64.78 in activity items. The C-4 report was filed late since a July 2023 monthly C-4 report was filed but the Committee had endorsed a candidate which required the filing of the 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report.</p><p>CY 2022: Mr. Nachreiner stated that six C-3 reports were filed between one to nine days late disclosing a combined $85.14 in total contributions received.</p><p>CY 2021: Mr. Nachreiner stated that one C-4 report, the 21-Day Pre-Primary Election C-4 report, was filed one day late disclosing $723.31 in Committee contribution and expenditure activities.</p><p>CY 2020: Mr. Nachreiner stated that three alleged C-4 reports were filed late in 2020 that included: (1) For one C-4 report the original C-4 report was timely filed on the required due date but the complainant used the date the amended C-4 report was filed; and (2) For two of the C-4 reports, the treasurer missed the 7-day pre-election C4 report deadline and the reports were filed six days late. He stated that this was an oversight on the part of the 2020 Treasurer. </p><p>CY 2019: Mr. Nachreiner stated that five C-3 reports were filed three to 34 days late, disclosing a combined $280.08 in total contributions received; one C-3 report was filed 356 days late but was blank; and one C-4 report was filed two days late but disclosed no contribution or expenditure activities.</p><p>CY 2018: Mr. Nachreiner stated that one C-3 report was filed 99 days late and he noted in the comment’s column of the spreadsheet that a “Low-cost fund raiser deposit ($863.00) was missed but was found during a review of the Committee’s bank account after the Treasurer had resigned.”</p><p>Finally, concerning the remaining allegations for the final cash on hand balances for the both the Limited and Unlimited accounts, and the corresponding carryforward balances, Mr. Nachreiner stated that he reconciled the contributions and expenditures disclosed activities on C-3 and C-4 reports for both the Limited and Unlimited accounts, with the Committee bank statements and found the following:</p><p>There were mistakes in the Unlimited account for calendar year 2021 that totaled $1,400 and included: (1) a $700 expenditure for Committee rent that was paid on January 8, 2021, (check #1715) and posted in Quicken but not reported in ORCA; and (2) a $700 expenditure for Committee rent that was paid on November 1, 2021, (check #1764) and posted in Quicken but not reported in ORCA.</p><p>There were mistakes in the Limited account for calendar year 2022 that totaled $1,412.11 and included: (1) a $700 expenditure for Committee rent that was paid on April 1, 2022, (check #1292) and posted in Quicken but not reported in ORCA; (2) an $11.27 expenditure to Act Blue for processing fees that was posted to the bank account on April 9, 2021, and posted in Quicken, but not reported in ORCA; (3) a $232.50 expenditure for the Committee’s portion of the HQ utility expenses paid on May 16, 2022, posted in Quicken, but not reported in ORCA; (4) a $234 PayPal expenditure made on May 23, 2022, was incorrectly entered and should have been listed as $2.34; and (5) a $700 expenditure for Committee rent that was paid on October 1, 2022, (check #1316) and posted in Quicken but not reported in ORCA.</p><p>On December 19, 2023, Mr. Nachreiner filed amended C-4 reports for the both the Committee’s Limited and Unlimited accounts disclosing the activities listed above, correcting the end of the year cash on hand balances with the carry forward amounts for the next year, and reconciling those totals with the Committee’s bank statements.<br><br>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of violations that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any further enforcement action in this instance. </p><p>In accordance with WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), PDC staff is issuing a formal written warning to the Clallam County Democratic Central Committee concerning the requirement to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports for the remainder of calendar year 2023, and for all future calendar years. The warning includes providing the required details for expenditures and in-kind contributions, such as the number of signs produced or flyers printers; to properly reconcile the Committee’s activities with the bank statements, and to ensure the correct amounts are carried forward from the end of a calendar year to the next calendar year for both the Limited and Unlimited accounts. </p><p>The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws/rules.

At the meeting the Board appointed David Tobin to the position of Commissioner. The Board made the position retroactive to January 1, 2023.</li><li>Per RCW 42.17.700, a Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) was due from David Tobin no later than two weeks following appointment to office. Mr. Tobin, once notified by the PDC, filed the F-1 report on June 19, 2023, for the period of 1/1/22 – 12/31/22. The report was 140 days late.</li><li>On May 15, 2023, David Tobin filed a declaration of candidacy with the Washington State Secretary of State’s office. Per RCW 42.17A.205, a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) was due to the PDC within two weeks of Mr. Tobin becoming a candidate for office. Mr. Tobin timely filed the C-1 report on May 28, 2023, indicating Full Reporting. PDC staff reviewed the C-1 report and it appears complete.</li><li>During staff’s review of the evidence provided in this case, the interview before the Board of Commissioners is determined to have been about the appointment of Mr. Tobin to the office of Commissioner and was not an affirmative action taken by him to announce his candidacy for the office. As well, an article in The Chinook Observer cited in the complaint is about Mr. Tobin’s appointment and not an announcement of candidacy.</li><li>Mr. Tobin has no prior violations of PDC laws.</li></ul><p>The late filing of the F-1 report by David Tobin appears to be an oversight and not done to withhold personal financial information from the public.</p><p>Based on our case review, in this instance, failure to timely file the candidate F-1 report disclosing financial activity for the previous twelve months does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation. As well, the PDC finds that there is no evidence to support a violation of RCW 42.17A.710 and RCW.17A.205 for failing to accurately file an F-1 and not filing a C-1.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, David Tobin will receive a formal written warning concerning his failure to follow filing requirements for timely filing of the Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report).

(FEB'24, EY'24)RCW 29B.45.020/42.17A.560Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Statewide<p>A complaint was filed against Chris Reykdal, incumbent Superintendent of Public Instruction in Washington State, and a candidate seeking re-election to that office in 2024, alleging a violation of RCW 42.17A.560 by soliciting or accepting contributions during the 2024 Legislative Session freeze period to his 2024 re-election Campaign.</p><p> RCW 42.17A.560 is entitled “Time limit for state official to solicit or accept contributions” and states in part “(1) During the period beginning on the thirtieth day before the date a regular legislative session convenes and continuing through…. the date that session adjourns, no state official or a person employed by or acting on behalf of a state official, or state legislator may solicit or accept contributions to a … candidate or authorized committee….”</p><p>For the 2024 Legislative session, the session freeze period began on Saturday, December 9, 2023, 30 days before the regular session convened, and runs through Thursday, March 7, 2024, when the session adjourns.</p><p>On December 31, 2021, Chris Reykdal filed a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) with the PDC declaring his candidacy for re-election to the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (SPI), selecting the Full Reporting Option, and listing Douglas Scott as Treasurer. Superintendent Reykdal was elected as SPI in 2016 and re-elected to that office in 2020. Prior to that, he served three terms as a State Representative in the 22nd Legislative District.</p><p>The complaint included a copy of a February 25, 2024, email that was sponsored and sent out by the 2024 Friends of Chris Reykdal Campaign (Campaign). The email discussed the 2024 Legislative Session, education related accomplishments, artificial intelligence, and the privatization of education. The email ended by stated “If you are interested in endorsing my campaign for re-election, my website has a mechanism for that! Community members can add their name to my endorsements list at the bottom of this page.” </p><p>At the bottom of the email below the signature line, there were the words “DONATE” centered in the middle of the page. PDC staff reviewed the Campaign website and found several links from multiple pages to an “Endorse” button but did not find a “Donate” button. </p><p>In his response, Mr. Reykdal stated that he and his Campaign team follows the PDC campaign finance laws, rules, and reporting requirements and that all donate buttons and donate hyperlinks were removed from their website. He stated that “we disabled all fundraising links from any pathway” when the Campaign disabled its ActBlue donation page which prohibited them “from accepting any donations during the freeze.” He stated his Campaign “did all of this 30 days prior to the legislative session” and that the donate buttons and hyperlinks remain inactive. He stated that “if anybody has an old email from us, receives an email during this campaign, or attempts to go to the ActBlue donation function they get a clear message that states, ‘This fundraiser is not currently accepting any donations.’” He added that during the session freeze period there is no way for anyone to contribute or donate to his Campaign.</p><p>Mr. Reykdal stated that the “DONATE” and “ENDORSE” buttons are standard template buttons “in our Mailchimp mailing program. It did not land on an active page to donate, and the page says, ‘This fundraiser is not currently accepting any donations.’” He added that the link was supposed to take people to the Campaign’s “active endorsement page.” He reiterated there is no way for a contributor to provide any donor information and there “was not a solicitation to donate in the ‘session update’ email.” He confirmed that the Campaign did not receive any contributions or any requests to donate in the relevant time period. He stated that the Campaign “did not solicit donations” other than inadvertently including the inactive “DONATE” in the email. He added that there was “no active way for a supporter to make a donation until after the freeze when links are restored and the ActBlue donation template is reactivated.”</p><p>Finally, Mr. Reykdal stated the email outreach message from his Campaign “was a session update and we were seeking to drive readers to an endorsement page which is active and can be accessed via Endorsements | Chris Reykdal” on the Campaign website. He acknowledged that the Campaign “failed to change the button on the bottom” of the standard Mailchimp email template to the Endorse link and reiterated that if any recipient of the Campaign email readers clicked “on the standard ‘Donate’ button they were directed to an inactive donation page.” </p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more detailed investigation into the complaint allegations or pursuing any further enforcement action in this instance. While Chris Reykdal is an experienced statewide elected official and former state legislator, the “DONATE” button in question was not active and there was no way for a contributor to contribute through the ActBlue portal. In addition, prior to the session freeze beginning on December 9, 2023, the Campaign removed all donate buttons and links from its website and they disabled “all fundraising links from any pathway” to their ActBlue donation page. </p><p>However, despite no contributions being received by the Campaign, the inclusion of the “DONATE” button at the bottom of the email, even if inadvertently included, nonetheless appeared to constitute a solicitation that would technically be a minor violation. In accordance with WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), PDC staff is issuing a formal written warning to Chris Reykdal concerning the prohibition for elected state officials against soliciting contributions during a legislative session freeze period. <br>The Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws and rules. </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). <br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1496410.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "149641 Chris Reykdal response to complaint (Morgan).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6409/149641%20Chris%20Reykdal%20response%20to%20complaint%20%28Morgan%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Reykdal, Chris Complaint Return Letter (Morgan) PDC Case 149641.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6409/Reykdal%2C%20Chris%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20Case%20149641.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "149641 Reykdal Chris Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6409/149641%20Reykdal%20Chris%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "149641 Reykdal Chris Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]03/14/2024 10:15:36 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(MAY'23 EY'23)RCW 29B.30.050/42.17A.320Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsCandidate - Local<p>On May 23, 2023, the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) received a complaint alleging that Theresa Richardson, a candidate for re-election to the position of City Council Member in the City of Richland in the 2023 election year, may have violated RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to include sponsor identification on campaign yard signs. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegation(s); the applicable statute(s), rule(s), a link/photo of Ms. Richardson’s 2023 campaign yard sign, the June 8, 2023, response to the complaint submitted by Ms. Richardson on behalf of her campaign; the reporting requirement(s) pertinent to the sponsor identification statute codified in RCW 42.17A; and all other relevant information. </p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following: </p><p>On May 22, 2023, Theresa Richardson filed a Candidate Registration with the PDC declaring her candidacy for election to the position of City Council Member in the City of Richland, selecting the “Mini Reporting” option and listing David Richardson as Treasurer.</p><p>You alleged that: “None of Theresa Richardson’s signs have her sponsorship information or what she is running for.” You attached a photo of the candidate’s yard sign as evidence of the alleged violation.</p><p>In her response to your complaint, Theresa Richardson stated: “This is to respond: 1) There is no requirement to provide sponsor ID on a 4’x 8’ sign p/section 8 copied below. Further, it is my understanding that there is no legal requirement to mention the position number when using yard signs for a political campaign p/PDC guidance provided on 6/1/2023.” Theresa Richardson included a copy of RCW 42.17A.320 with her response.</p><p>On July 13, 2023, staff talked to you via phone and requested that you physically measure the sign(s) at issue in your complaint, and you noted that you would measure the sign and let staff know.</p><p>On July 27, 2023, staff sent you a follow up email regarding the July 13, 2023, conversation via phone, asking if you had a chance to measure the sign. On the same day, July 27, 2023, you responded to staff’s email and noted that the sign was “4 x 8” in size. Staff noted that there is no requirement under the statutory scheme to provide sponsor identification information on a 4’x 8’ sign. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that there was no evidence of a violation to warrant conducting a formal investigation into this allegation or take enforcement action in this matter.</p><p>Accordingly, the PDC staff found that no further action was warranted and dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p><p> </p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1373170.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "137317 Richardson Theresa Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5806/137317%20Richardson%20Theresa%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "137317 Richardson Theresa Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "137317 Theresa Richardson Complaint Return Letter....pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5806/137317%20Theresa%20Richardson%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter....pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}, {"file_name" : "137317 Richardson Theresa Complaint Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5806/137317%20Richardson%20Theresa%20Complaint%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]07/22/2024 09:17:10 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

LemusLEMUS, JOHN M: Alleged Violation of RCW 42.17A.700 for failure to file a Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1) within 14 days of becoming a candidate (JUN'23, EY'23)RCW 29B.55.010/42.17A.700Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed on May 29, 2023. The complaint alleged that John M. Lemus, a candidate for Spokane City Council in the 2023 election, may have violated RCW 42.17A.700 for failure to file the Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) within two weeks of becoming a candidate.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; queried the Respondent’s status as a candidate appearing on the 2023 ballot; and examined other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>John M. Lemus was a registered candidate once before in 2019 but did not file to have his name appear on the ballot and has not been elected or appointed to a public office. Mr. Lemus has no prior violations. It appears that after he submitted the C-1 report in April 2022, he decided not to continue his campaign for Spokane City Council, moved out of the area and did not file to have his name placed on the ballot.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to file the F-1 report within two weeks of becoming a candidate in the 2023 election does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, John M. Lemus will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to file the F-1 report within two weeks of becoming a candidate in the 2023 election. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that the Respondent file all required campaign reports and the Personal Financial Affairs Statement in future years should he become a candidate again. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1379060.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "137906 Lemus John M Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5817/137906%20Lemus%20John%20M%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "137906 Lemus John M Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5817/137906%20Lemus%20John%20M%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "137906 LEMUS JOHN M Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5817/137906%20LEMUS%20JOHN%20M%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "137906 LEMUS JOHN M Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]08/24/2023 01:35:01 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Based on this activity, the Respondent is a “commercial advertiser” as defined in RCW 42.17A.005(10) & WAC 390-18-050.</li><li>RCW 42.17A.345 & WAC 390-18-050 require commercial advertisers to make their documents and books of account open for public inspection during normal business hours for five years following the election to which the records pertain. Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.345, the documents and books of account shall specify 1) the names and addresses of persons from whom it accepted political advertising or electioneering communications; 2) the exact nature and extent of the services rendered; and 3) the total cost and the manner of payment for the services. WAC 390-18-050(3) states that commercial advertisers can provide such information to the requester in person during normal business hours or electronically (if requested electronically) by email or online publication. </li><li>PDC staff determined Mr. Smith appeared in person and gave to Mr. Koeppen a written request on October 19, 2023. The letter addressed to Mr. Koeppen, rather than Goat Professional Services, cited outdated PDC statutes and made a broad request for information that included a period that Goat Professional Services was not in business. Mr. Koeppen stated to the PDC Compliance Officer, “On October 5th, during a meeting Mr. Smith threatened me with violence, which is particularly concerning since he carries a firearm. On 10/19/23 he approached me and was very agitated slamming down an envelope, which contained the letter.” </li></ul><p>Based on the information provided by Mr. Smith in his letter and because of the way he appeared before Mr. Koeppen with the inspection request, Mr. Koeppen “did not feel it was an appropriate request” and did not allow Mr. Smith at that time to review his commercial advertiser books of account. However, Mr. Koeppen did not attempt to clarify with Mr. Smith what specific information he wanted to review. </p><ul><li>Mr. Koeppen and Mr. Smith worked effectively with the PDC Compliance Officer to narrow the scope of the request and identify affirmative records for review. Mr. Koeppen indicated that “we did not print for any candidates in 2022. We did some minor printing for a handful of candidates in 2023.” Both parties agreed to the 2023 materials and that an inspection would occur. The PDC gave both parties until December 15, 2023, to schedule and conduct the in-person inspection. </li><li>On December 17, 2023, Mr. Koeppen informed the PDC that “despite our prompt preparation of the requested materials, Mr. Smith did not reach out to schedule a viewing of the books.” On December 18, 2023, PDC staff spoke with Mr. Smith, and he confirmed that he had not followed-up to inspect the books of account.</li><li>The Respondent does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has decided that, in this instance, failing to provide inspection of a commercial advertiser’s books of account does not amount to a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>PDC staff reminded Mr. Andrew Koeppen about the importance of making commercial advertiser documents and books of account open for public inspection for five years following the election to which the materials pertain. The records may also be provided electronically in one of the methods specified by WAC 390-18-050. PDC staff expects in the future that Mr. Koeppen will abide by all applicable laws, rules, and guidelines related to the obligations of a commercial advertiser.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1448470.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "144847 Goat Professional Services Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6330/144847%20Goat%20Professional%20Services%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "144847 Goat Professional Services Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6330/144847%20Goat%20Professional%20Services%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "144847 Goat Professional Services Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6330/144847%20Goat%20Professional%20Services%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Reminder"}]12/29/2023 02:39:37 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

PDC staff reviewed the allegations, the applicable statutes and rules, the mailer, and the response provided by Scott M. Missal, Medina City Attorney, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined, in this instance, the alleged use of public facilities to produce and distribute a mailer regarding Proposition 1 does not amount to a violation warranting further investigation. <br><br>Staff’s review of the publication found that the majority of the content was a fair and objective presentation of facts, however there was some statements or phrases included such as “unstainable financial future,” and that “threatening the delivery of essential City services – police, fire, medical aid…” that were more inflammatory in nature rather than factual statements. In addition, staff believes the statement “Medina’s property tax rate is the 4th lowest in King County” is not an objective statement or comparison, and the graphic using a dollar bill to indicate the amount received by the City of Medina, minimizes the amount of the proposed taxation level. <br><br>PDC staff is reminding City of Medina officials that in the future when publishing election related information about a ballot proposition, that information be an objective and fair presentation of the facts in accordance with the statutes, rules and PDC Interpretation No. 04-02. <br><br>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/597320.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "PDC Case 59732 City of Medina closed with reminder.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3371/PDC%20Case%2059732%20City%20of%20Medina%20closed%20with%20reminder.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "59732 City of Medina Officials Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3371/59732%20City%20of%20Medina%20Officials%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "59732 City of Medina Officials Complaint Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3371/59732%20City%20of%20Medina%20Officials%20Complaint%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]06/16/2020 09:12:42 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

(EY 2020)RCW 29B.25.070/42.17A.225, RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Legislative<p>A PDC staff generated complaint was filed against Robert "Bob" Apple, a 2020 candidate for State Representative in the 3rd Legislative District, alleging violations of: (1) RCW 42.17A.225 by failing to maintain, preserve and produced campaign books of account requested by PDC staff; and (2) RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 for failure to timely & accurately report contributions & expenditures on paper filed C-3 and C-4 reports in accordance with an electronic filing hardship exemption granted pursuant to RCW 42.17A.055.</p><p>On June 17, 2020, Robert Apple completed an electronic Candidate Registration declaring his candidacy for State Representative, selecting the Full Reporting Option, and listing himself as Ministerial Treasurer. Mr. Apple is a former City of Spokane Council member that has previously filed with the PDC as a candidate for elected office on several occasions. </p><p>On July 7, 2020, Robert Apple requested a hardship exemption seeking relief from filing your campaign finance reports electronically, and stated that he experienced some technical issues and challenges in filing his campaign finance reports using the PDC’s Online Reporting of Campaign Activity software (ORCA). </p><p>On July 16, 2020, PDC staff sent an email informing Mr. Apple that he qualified for a hardship exemption from filing electronically based on the alleged technological limitations of his 2020 campaign, and that he must timely file the C-3 and C-4 reports on paper in accordance with the reporting requirements.</p><p>On October 15, 2020, Robert Apple submitted paper filed C-3 and C-4 reports to the PDC in accordance with his hardship exemption. The contribution and expenditure information that he provided on the reports was entered into the Online Reporting of Campaign Activity (PDC ORCA Software) by PDC staff, and electronically filed in accordance with the hardship exemption. The C-3 and C-4 reports electronically filed by PDC staff were posted on the PDC website on October 21, 2020. </p><p>The C-3 and C-4 information disclosed: (1) Mr. Apple spent $79.90 using personal funds for a Campaign telephone line; (2) a $6,793 in-kind contribution/loan was received from him for a $6,593 Valpak expenditure, and a $200 payment that he made to an individual for web page development and work; (3) a $50 monetary contribution was received from M. Johns (retired) on October 3, 2020; and (4) a $50 expenditure made on October 5, 2020, that included $40 for campaign telephone costs and $10 for miscellaneous office supplies.<br> <br>On March 9, 2021, PDC staff filed a staff generated complaint against Robert Apple alleging violations of RCW 42.17A.225, .235, and .240, since no additional C-3 or C-4 reports had been paper filed by him. </p><p>On June 1, 2021, PDC staff conducted a remote Initial Hearing/Case Status Review by telephone in which Mr. Apple participated, and staff opened a formal investigation concerning this matter after that was held.</p><p>On June 22, 2021, PDC staff received a 13-page mailed package from Mr. Apple that included a copy of an October 28, 2020 Bank of America (BOA) letter addressed to him. The letter stated that BOA had temporarily credited his personal account for the $6,592.92 in-kind contribution/loan that he made to his Campaign for the Valpak mailing. The letter from BOA went on to state they were working with Valpak “to resolve your dispute.” </p><p>Mr. Apple stated that his Campaign contracted with ValPak to print and mail a flier, but for some unexplained reason Valpak never delivered the mailer to registered voters in the 3rd Legislative District. He stated that ValPak needed a credit card to process the order and begin work on printing and mailing the brochure, since a personal check would have taken too long to mail their offices in Florida, so he used his personnel credit card to make the purchase. </p><p>Mr. Apple also noted that the documents he provided verified the $6,592.95 expenditure was made on his personal BOA private account, and that BOA had followed up on the contested expenditure and made a $6,592.95 credit that was applied to his account to reverse the payment to ValPak. Mr. Apple reiterated the ValPak issue happened due to the “wrong mailing list and causing my 3rd Legislative mailing to be delivered to a completely different area of the State of WA and again by no fault of mine.”</p><p>On February 16, 2022, based on the information Mr. Apple provided to PDC staff and in accordance with the electronic filing hardship granted to him, PDC staff electronically filed an amended C-4 report that was marked as the “Final report” for the Bob Apple 2020 Campaign for State Representative. The Final C-4 report disclosed that the 2020 Robert Apple Campaign received a total of $329.90 in contributions received, and $329.90 in expenditures made, once the Valpak in-kind contribution/loan was corrected and subtracted from the Campaign totals. </p><p>PDC staff would note that while the 2020 Robert Apple Campaign did not timely and accurately file the C-3 and C-4 reports, the reports were filed prior to the November 2020 general election, and available for public review on October 21, 2020. </p><p>Based on these findings and the facts that Mr. Apple: (1) served as his own Treasurer in 2020; (2) received an electronic filing hardship exemption that allowed him to file paper file C-3 and C-4 reports; (3) raised and spent less than $500 in total campaign funds for his 2020 candidacy once the ValPak expenditure was corrected or backed out of the totals; and (4) the public was not deprived or any contribution or expenditure activities undertaken by the Campaign since the information was posted on the PDC website on October 21, 2020; the matter does not amount to a violation warranting further investigation or enforcement action.</p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), this letter serves as a formal written warning concerning Robert Apple's failure to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports disclosing contribution and expenditure activities undertaken by his 2020 Campaign.

Mr. Militello was a first-time candidate for public office in 2022.</p><p>• Seven amended C-3 reports, and two new C-3 reports were filed between eight and thirteen months after the 2022 General Election. Information in the new and amended reports included:<br>o Reporting of transactions from a merchant account that did not correctly transfer into the campaign account.<br>o Correction of donors listed in wrong deposits.<br>o Correction of contribution amounts.</p><p>• Nine amended C-4 reports and one new C-4 report were filed between seven and twenty months after the 2022 General Election. Information in the new and amended reports included:<br>o C-4 110167008 amended C-4 110081637 to correct the reporting of prior expenditures that were causing the campaign account to report a negative balance. There were no expenditures in the prior period and line 10 was changed to zero.<br>o Reported previously unreported expenditures for domain renewal, radio advertising, credit card processing, overhead costs, and loan repayments.<br>o Corrected previously reported amounts to reflect amended contributions and expenditures from prior reporting periods.<br>o Corrected the original expenditure total from $5,750.57 to $6,142.80.</p><p>• Because the Respondent filed new C-3 and C-4 reports and amended original reports, with material information that would have been of interest to the public during the 2022 campaign, PDC staff added the allegation of late filing of C-3 and C-4 reports to the complaint. </p><p>• The data analytics on the PDC Political Disclosure Data webpage, specific to the Respondent’s loans, were not accounting correctly in our system as reported on the PDC website. This caused the displayed expenditures to not sum correctly when the data was put into a spreadsheet and totaled. The campaign had reported the information correctly, but it was presented on the PDC webpage incorrectly. The PDC resolved the technical issue on August 24, 2023, and the Respondent’s data analytics are now correctly showing on the web.</p><p>• Salvatore Militello received a formal written warning on September 20, 2022, for case #111239. This case also concerned the timely and accurate filings of C-3 and C-4 reports for the 2022 campaign. The warning letter outlined staff’s expectations that Mr. Militello would “timely file the required C-3 and C-4 reports for the remainder of the 2022 election cycle” and that the “Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action, should there be future violations of PDC laws or rules.”</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(f), Salvatore Militello completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) and paid a $300 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 for not timely and accurately disclosing expenditures and contributions on the Receipts & Expenditure Summary (C-4) report and the Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) report. The $300 penalty assessed resolves the allegations listed in your complaint.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).<br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/139323300.000.000.00300.000.00false[{"file_name" : "13932 Militello_Salvatore Response (3).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5962/13932%20Militello_Salvatore%20Response%20%283%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "139323 Militello_Salvatore Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5962/139323%20Militello_Salvatore%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "PDC 139323 Militello Signed SOU.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5962/PDC%20139323%20Militello%20Signed%20SOU.pdf", "description" : "PDC 139323 Militello Signed SOU", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "139323 Militello_Salvatore Response(2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5962/139323%20Militello_Salvatore%20Response%282%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "139323 Militello_Salvatore Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5962/139323%20Militello_Salvatore%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "139323 Militello Salvatore Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5962/139323%20Militello%20Salvatore%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}][{"who" : "Militello, Salvatore", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2023-09-15", "amount" : 300.00, "description" : "Statement of Understanding", "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2023-09-14", "amount" : 300.00, "description" : "PAID - SOU"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]09/21/2023 12:12:53 PMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

633614508911/07/202311/07/202302/14/2024Andreas KoeppenAmy BreitensteinBreitenstein, Amy: Alleged violation of RCW42.17A.475 for accepting over limit cash contributions, WAC390-16-034 for failing to collect required contributor info & WAC390-16-043 for failure to maintain underlying source documentation (NOV'23, EY'23)WAC 390-16-043, WAC 390-16-034, RCW 29B.40.190/42.17A.475Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><p>• Amy Breitenstein filed a Candidate Registration (C-1) on June 19, 2023, for the Full Reporting option. Ms. Breitenstein was a first-time candidate, and there were no other persons listed as officers or leaders for the campaign.</p><p>• RCW 42.17A.475 states, in part, that “a person may not make a contribution of more than one-hundred dollars, other than an in-kind contribution, except by a written instrument containing the name of the donor and the name of the payee.” A written instrument includes a check or credit card transaction record.<br>o It was found that the campaign did accept two cash contributions, totaling $600, from James Baker and Carla Urias. Both contributions were in excess of the allowed $100.<br>o In this instance, there is no further action for the campaign to take to comply with the statute.</p><p>• Regarding books of account reviewed during an inspection, the complaint stated the following:<br>1. The “‘ledger’ presented was a hand-scribbled and incomplete list of some deposits and withdrawals, lacking clarity and completeness.”<br>2. “The candidate failed to provide occupation and employer information for individuals who contributed more than $250 aggregate, whether through cash or check.”<br>3. “The candidate failed to provide complete underlying source documentation, there were no canceled checks, copies of contribution checks, and or digital transaction records.”</p><p>Amy Breitenstein responded to these statements, explaining that “at the time of the audit I did provide underlying source documentation including written receipts. I did not provide cancelled checks as my bank does not provide them.”</p><p>RCW 42.17A.235 states, in part, “the treasurer or candidate shall preserve the books of account, bills, receipts, and all other financial records of the campaign.” WAC 390-16-043 defines “books of account” as “a ledger or similar listing of contributions, expenditures, and debts” and the books of account include: “a ledger, spreadsheet, or similar listing of contributions, expenditures, loans, debts and obligations to substantiate the information disclosed on the PDC campaign finance reports.”</p><p>The format of the “books of account” is not mandated by statute or WAC, but the expectation is that the information is accurate and thorough to substantiate the required reporting to the Commission. As well, it is not expected that a campaign maintains records not provided by a financial institution, for example cancelled checks. However, the campaign should maintain copies of received contribution checks and other source documents outlined in WAC 390-16-043.<br>o Based on submitted reports, the campaign did have adequate record keeping facilitating reporting to the Commission. However, there does appear to be a failure by the campaign to have maintained all required supporting documentation.</p><p>• The complaint stated, “it was observed that Kirryn Jensen and Carla Urias received an in-kind donation for radio commercials from Amy Breitenstein, potentially violating the rule that prohibits transfer of campaign funds or services to other candidates or political committees.” The case review determined Amy Breitenstein’s campaign did pay for a radio commercial during her campaign and that the campaigns of Kirryn Jensen and Carla Urias received a benefit from that political advertising. Both candidates were aware of the political advertising and reimbursed Amy Breitenstein’s campaign for their share of the costs. There was initial confusion by the campaigns on how to report these transactions, but those reporting issues are resolved. The evidence does not support a violation.</p><p>• The complaint stated, “the candidate also omitted to disclose an in-kind donation from a PAC called ‘Connecting Communities.’” The in-kind was alleged to have been a flyer created and distributed by the PAC that endorsed the candidates. Upon review of the flyer, and in further responses from Ms. Breitenstein, there does not appear to have been coordination between the PAC and the campaign regarding the creation of the flyer, and Ms. Breitenstein states they did not participate in the distribution. The evidence does not support a violation.</p><p>• During the books of account inspection, David Hunt was present. The complaint alleged the campaign concealed Mr. Hunt’s role as treasurer and campaign manager. Ms. Breitenstein acknowledges that David Hunt helped on her campaign, and was present at the book of account inspection, but states that he was not an officer of her campaign. The evidence does not support a violation.</p><p>• The complaint stated, “I believe that one of the in-kind contributions attributed to Mr. Hunt and cash donation by Jon Smith may actually have originated from Mr. Hunt’s PAC, known as ‘Connecting Communities.’” There was no evidence provided to substantiate this allegation, and it is determined by PDC staff to be unfounded.</p><p>• Following the submission of your complaint, you provided pictures of Amy Breitenstein, Carla Urias, Kirryn Jensen, David Skaugg, David Hunt, and Dan Delano socializing together as well as working together on the various campaigns of the candidates. Candidates may attend campaign events, civic engagement related events, or “Get out the vote” (GOTV) events with other candidates. GOTV events aim to increase voter turnout in elections and often focus their efforts on voter registration and encouragement of voting generally.</p><p>Although the law prohibits using campaign funds to make a contribution to another candidate or political committee (other than using surplus funds to give to a political party or caucus committee), a candidate is allowed to use their campaign money to pay for costs to attend an event held by another candidate, a political party or committee, so long as attending the event is directly related to the candidate's own campaign and the candidate's campaign only pays the per-person cost of consumables provided at the event (that is, the candidate uses their campaign money only to pay for their share of the actual cost of food, beverages, preparation, catering and entertainment furnished at the event). If the candidate wishes to pay the full admission charge (e.g., including a contribution amount above and beyond the costs associated with attendance), they must use their personal funds to do so.</p><p>Candidates may work together, or with other entities, to coordinate campaign events, but if there are event costs attributable to candidates, then those costs should be shared by all candidates who receive a benefit from the event. We encourage candidates to directly pay vendors their share of the costs, and report this share as an expenditure in the Online Reporting of Campaign Activity (ORCA) system.</p><p>The evidence here does not support a violation.</p><p>• Allegations made against David Hunt are not germane to this case. If you have evidence to support your allegations, you should follow-up with a separate complaint directly against Mr. Hunt.</p><p>• Amy Breitenstein does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, accepting over the limit cash contributions and failing to maintain underlying source documentation for the books of account in the 2023 election do not amount to violations that call for further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Amy Breitenstein will receive a formal written warning concerning her failure to maintain underlying source documentation for the books of account as outlined in WAC 390-16-043.

(JULY 2019, EY 2019)RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - LocalCandidate C1<p>The PDC received a complaint alleging that Jonee Dubos (the “Respondent”) may have violated RCW 42.17A.205 by failing to timely register as a candidate within two weeks of becoming a candidate and disclose the campaign’s Treasurer and banking information (depository).</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; and the Respondent’s reporting history to determine whether they support a finding of one or more violations. Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>The Respondent is an incumbent candidate for re-election who filed with Elections officials on May 13, 2019 and was therefore required to file a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) with the PDC within two weeks, or no later than May 27, 2019. The Respondent filed a C-1 report with the PDC on August 3, 2019 identifying its Treasurer and depository, which was received 68 days late. On the C-1 report, the Respondent selected the Mini-reporting Option, whereby a candidate’s campaign is not required to file C-3 & C-4 reports with the PDC if they raise & spend no more than $5,000 and receive no more than $500 from any one contributor. </p><p>The Respondent indicated that noncompliance was the result of an error in transmitting the C-1 report to the PDC. Upon being notified of the missing C-1 report, the Respondent quickly replied and made a good-faith effort to resolve noncompliance by filing the report within 24 hours.</p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to timely register as a candidate does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. However, the PDC reminded the Respondent about the importance of timely filing all future PDC reports. The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/555940.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "55594 Dubos Jonee Complaint With Attachments.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3151/55594%20Dubos%20Jonee%20Complaint%20With%20Attachments.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "55594 Dubos Jonee Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3151/55594%20Dubos%20Jonee%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "55594 Dubos Jonee Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3151/55594%20Dubos%20Jonee%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]03/25/2021 11:10:18 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

583213840206/02/202306/02/202308/30/2023Joseph GilmourLadies of Liberty Tri-CitiesLadies of Liberty Tri-Cities: Alleged Violation of RCW 42.17A.205 for failure to register as a political committee (June 23; EY 23)RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsPolitical Committee - Issue<p>On June 2, 2023, the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) received a complaint alleging that Ladies of Liberty Tri-Cities, may have violated RCW 42,17A.205 by failing to register as a political committee. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed your allegation; the Facebook attachments provided with the complaint; the applicable statute, rule(s), and reporting requirements; the June 14, August 11 and August 28, 2023, responses to the complaint provided by Hayley Hoyt on behalf of Ladies of Liberty Tri-Cities; and other relevant information to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><p>The complaint alleged that Ladies of Liberty Tri-Cities, based on Facebook posts, hosted an event on May 10, 2023, and raised $3,000 in support of Semi Bird for Governor of Washington, without registering as a political committee pursuant to RCW 42.17A.205. You attached several Facebook posts as evidence of the alleged violation.</p><p>In its response to the complaint, received on June 14 and August 11, 2023, Ladies of Liberty Tri Cities, provided answers to written questions from staff, stating: “First of all, Ladies of Liberty is a SOCIAL GROUP that ANYONE can be a part of. We are NOT AFFILIATED with any political group. And we started this group in April of 2023. That’s 2 months ago…not 2 years ago as Mr. Gilmour states. We HOSTED an event at CG Public House (aka Country Gentleman restaurant) in Kennewick for Semi Bird on May 10th. (1) The COST OF THE EVENT WAS ZERO DOLLARS. It is stated several times in our advertisement to order food off of the restaurant menu. We did not rent the room or provide food or drink. (2) The Bird Campaign DID NOT give Ladies of Liberty of The High Heel Housewife any money or compensation to host this event. Therefore there was nothing to discount. There were however donation envelopes on the tables, so if guest wanted to donate to his campaign, they simply filled out the proper envelope, and donated. These were all given to his campaign manager to properly record and document. INDIVIDUAL donations reached $3,000. So again, Ladies of Liberty is a social club, NOT a political group.”</p><p>RCW 42.17A.005 defines political committee as “any person (except a candidate or an individual dealing with the candidate’s or individual’s own funds or property) having the expectation of receiving contributions or making expenditures in support of, or opposition to, any candidate or any ballot proposition.” Based on the evidence here, it appears that Ladies of Liberty Tri-Cities neither received contributions nor made expenditures in support of a candidate or ballot proposition. The Ladies of Liberty Tri-Cities was not the receiver of contributions when they hosted a function for the Semi Bird 2024 Campaign for Governor on May 10, 2023, since envelopes were put on the tables at the function for guests to donate to the Campaign individually, if they chose to do so. The Ladies of Liberty Tri[1]Cities hosted a social function and invited people to come order food from the restaurant menu, and a representative of the Bird campaign was present at the function/event to accept contribution checks. Those contributions were subsequently reported by the Bird campaign. </p><p>Based on staff’s review of the complaint submitted, the written responses provided by the respondent, and the attachments provided by the complainant, no evidence was found to substantiate a violation of RCW 42.17A.205. </p><p>PDC staff therefore determined that no evidence supported a finding of a violation warranting further investigation.</p><p>Accordingly, the PDC staff found that no further action was warranted and dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1384020.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "138402 Ladies of Liberty Tri-Cities Complaint Return Letter...pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5832/138402%20Ladies%20of%20Liberty%20Tri-Cities%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter...pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}, {"file_name" : "138402 Ladies of Liberty Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5832/138402%20Ladies%20of%20Liberty%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "138402 Ladies of Liberty Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5832/138402%20Ladies%20of%20Liberty%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "138402 Ladies of Liberty Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "138402 Ladies of Liberty Tri-Cities Complaint Response #2.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5832/138402%20Ladies%20of%20Liberty%20Tri-Cities%20Complaint%20Response%20%232.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]02/13/2025 07:22:56 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The Complaint alleged that Nicholas Power, a candidate for San Juan County Prosecuting Attorney in 2018, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 for failure to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Nicholas Power; and the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent, to determine your allegations support a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>Nicholas Power was a first-time candidate for public office and lost in the November 6, 2018 general election. The majority of the money received and spent for his campaign came from personal funds in the form of monetary and in-kind loans or contributions. Based on these findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely file one C-3 report one day late and four C-4 reports between one and seven days late does not amount to an actual violation warranting further investigation. </p><p>PDC staff is reminding Nicholas Power about the importance of the timely disclosure of all contribution and expenditure activities, specifically those occurring during the accelerated reporting schedule prior to and after each election in which his name appears on the ballot. PDC staff expects that Mr. Power will file all C-3 and C-4 reports timely in future years in accordance with PDC laws and rules. </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/416590.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "41659 Power Nicholas Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1924/41659%20Power%20Nicholas%20Response.pdf", "description" : "41659 Power Nicholas Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "41659 Power Nicholas Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1924/41659%20Power%20Nicholas%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "41659 Power Nicholas Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "41659 Power Nicholas Reminder Ltr.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1924/41659%20Power%20Nicholas%20Reminder%20Ltr.pdf", "description" : "41659 Power Nicholas Reminder Ltr.pdf", "document_type" : "Reminder"}]07/01/2019 01:34:23 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

(EY '19; Nov '19)RCW 29B.25.120/42.17A.255, RCW 29B.25.130/42.17A.260, RCW 29B.30.020/42.17A.305Case Closed with ReminderPolitical Advertising Sponsor<p>The PDC received a complaint alleging that North Snohomish County Union Firefighters Local 4033 (the “Respondent”) may have violated RCW 42.17A.255, .260 or .305 by failing to timely & accurately report, and provide sufficient expenditure details for, independent expenditures supporting candidate Jeff Sinker (campaign mailers and postage).</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; and the Respondent’s reporting history to determine whether they support a finding of one or more violations. Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>In mid-October of 2019, the Respondent made two independent expenditures to Woodinville Print totaling $2,907 for a postcard mailer that supported candidate Jeff Sinker and related postage. The postcard mailer was first presented to the public on October 17, 2019, within 19 days of an election. Due to its proximity to the election, the postcard expenditures were due to be reported to the PDC within 24 hours or by October 18, 2019. </p><p>The Respondent reported the independent expenditure for postage on a C-6 report filed October 26, 2019, which was eight (8) days late; the postage was described as a “print shop” expenditure on the C-6 report. Upon being notified that the expenditure for the postcard mailer had not been reported and the postage expenditure needed further description, the Respondent amended its C-6 report within five days, making the reporting of the mailer 33 days late. Noncompliance appeared to be the result of a good-faith omission. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to timely & accurately report and sufficiently describe independent expenditures does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. However, the PDC reminded the Respondent about the importance of timely & accurately reporting independent expenditures and providing detailed expenditure descriptions on reports. The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/601620.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "60162 North Snohomish County Union Firefighters Local 4033 Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3388/60162%20North%20Snohomish%20County%20Union%20Firefighters%20Local%204033%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "60162 Exhibit C.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3388/60162%20Exhibit%20C.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "60162 Exhibit A.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3388/60162%20Exhibit%20A.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "60162 Exhibit B.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3388/60162%20Exhibit%20B.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "60162 No Snohomish Co Union Firefighters Local 4033 Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3388/60162%20No%20Snohomish%20Co%20Union%20Firefighters%20Local%204033%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]03/25/2021 12:43:11 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

DiMarco on October 30, 2018. The complaint alleged that Robert Allen, a contributor to the 2018 Nicholas Power for San Juan County Prosecutor Campaign and sponsor of paid political advertisement for the Power Campaign, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.205 for failure to register a political committee in support of Nicholas Power; (2) RCW 42.17A.235 and RCW 42.17A.240 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures for political advertising costs related to two paid advertisements; (3) RCW 42.17A.405 for making over-limit contributions to the Power Campaign through political advertising purchased after review and approval by the candidate; (4) RCW 42.17A.255, .260 and .305 for failure to timely and accurately report independent expenditures or electioneering communications; and (5) RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to accurately and completely disclose sponsor identification on written political advertisement.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by Mr. Allen and Nicholas Power in a related case (PDC Case 42587); the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that Mr. Allen was not aware of the requirement to register and report as a political committee when he began planning the political advertisements and that his intent was to make expenditures independently, without the involvement of the candidate and without exceeding any contribution limits. There is also evidence that Mr. Allen attempted to include the names of the individual sponsors of the ads and may have inadvertently included names of individuals who supported Mr. Power’s Campaign but were not actually sponsors of the specific advertisements referenced in the complaint.</p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to register and report as a political committee after receiving and spending funds for two political advertisements made in support of the 2018 Nicholas Power for San Juan County Prosecutor Campaign, and failure to include accurate sponsor identification on the same two written political advertisements, does not amount to a finding of an actual violation warranting further investigation.</p><p>PDC staff reminded Robert Allen about the importance of registering as a political committee, the timely disclosure of all contribution and expenditure activities, and the requirement to identify the true and accurate sponsor of political advertisements made in support of any candidate for public office, in accordance with the statutes and rules. The reminder included staff’s expectation that Mr. Allen follow all applicable statutes and rules regarding the disclosure of campaign activities to support any candidate for public office in future years.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/425760.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "42576 Allen Robert Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1966/42576%20Allen%20Robert%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Reminder"}, {"file_name" : "42576 Allen Robert Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1966/42576%20Allen%20Robert%20Response.pdf", "description" : "42576 Allen Robert Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "42576 Allen Robert Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1966/42576%20Allen%20Robert%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "42576 Allen Robert Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "42576 Allen Robert Initial Hearing Results - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1966/42576%20Allen%20Robert%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "42576 Allen Robert Initial Hearing Results - Complainant.pdf", "document_type" : null}]06/26/2019 03:39:06 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The statute and rules primarily apply to the employer/contractors, but also prohibit the union and the employer/contractors from discriminating against a union member who does not make political contributions.</span></p><div><br></div><p><span>Staff found that the current authorization form does not conform to the requirements in RCW 42.17A.495 and WAC 390-17-100, and that many of the employer/contractors have not been sending out the required annual notification to employees who have funds withheld for PAC contributions, as required by WAC 390-17-110. The employer/contractors rely on the union to provide an authorization form that complies with the law and rules. Staff made it clear what changes need to be made to the written authorization and annual notification. The union, working with and on behalf of the employer/contractors, has developed an authorization form and annual notification that meets the requirement of the statute and rules.

However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), the 35 employer/contractor respondents received a formal written warning concerning: (1) their failure to obtain a proper written request from employees before withholding wages or salaries for contributions to Plumbers & Steamfitters Local 598 PAC; and (2) their failure to provide an annual notification to employees who have requested payroll deductions for political contributions of their right to withdraw their request at any time, and of the prohibition against discrimination by the employer and the union for not contributing. The employer/contractors were informed that the Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.

The statute and rules primarily apply to the employer/contractors, but also prohibit the union and the employer/contractors from discriminating against a union member who does not make political contributions.</span></p><div><br></div><p><span>Staff found that the current authorization form does not conform to the requirements in RCW 42.17A.495 and WAC 390-17-100, and that many of the employer/contractors have not been sending out the required annual notification to employees who have funds withheld for PAC contributions, as required by WAC 390-17-110. The employer/contractors rely on the union to provide an authorization form that complies with the law and rules. Staff made it clear what changes need to be made to the written authorization and annual notification. The union, working with and on behalf of the employer/contractors, has developed an authorization form and annual notification that meets the requirement of the statute and rules. The respondents have stated that they will incorporate the changes to the authorization form and annual notification.</span></p><div><br></div><div><span>Staff determined that, in this instance, the failure of the 35 employer/contractor respondents to fully comply with the law does not amount to an actual violation warranting further investigation. However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), the 35 employer/contractor respondents received a formal written warning concerning: (1) their failure to obtain a proper written request from employees before withholding wages or salaries for contributions to Plumbers & Steamfitters Local 598 PAC; and (2) their failure to provide an annual notification to employees who have requested payroll deductions for political contributions of their right to withdraw their request at any time, and of the prohibition against discrimination by the employer and the union for not contributing. The employer/contractors were informed that the Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.

The complaints alleged that Satpal Sidhu, the current Whatcom County Executive may have violated RCW 42.17A.555 by making statements in support of Whatcom County Proposition 2023-04 – Public Health, Safety, and Justice Sales and Use Tax, while attending the September 18, 2023, meeting of the Whatcom County Incarceration Prevention and Reduction Task Force Steering Committee.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; PDC Interpretation 04-02; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>It appears that Executive Sidhu made comments as an elected official during a the Whatcom County Incarceration Prevention and Reduction Task Force Steering Committee meeting expressing his support of the passage of Whatcom County Proposition 2023-04 on the November 7, 2023, general election ballot, believing that, as he was responding to a direct inquiry, this was a permissible activity.

PDC staff reviewed the allegations listed in the complaints; the applicable statutes, rules, and PDC Interpretation #01-03 “Guidelines for School Districts in Election Campaigns”; the Livestream video of the August 24, 2023 OSD School Board meeting; and the email exchanges between Maria Flores and PDC staff, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>RCW 42.17A.555 states in part that public facilities cannot be used by or authorized to be used directly or indirectly by any local elected official, appointed official or public employee, to support or oppose any candidate or ballot proposition.</p><p>On June 3, 2023, Maria Flores filed a Candidate Registration with the PDC declaring her candidacy for re-election to the office of OSD School Director in 2023, selecting the Full Reporting option, and listing Lorrell Noahr as Ministerial Treasurer. Ms. Flores was elected as OSD School Director in 2019 as a first-time candidate.</p><p>Ms. Flores stated that she was familiar with the OSD “Board Director Policy Series 1000” concerning board meetings, Executive and Closed Sessions, and audience participation, and provided the hyperlinks to each policy. She stated those OSD policies and the school board agenda rules "follow the protocol of having student representative and board member comments at the end of each meeting.”</p><p>Ms. Flores stated she received school director training from Washington State School Directors Association (WSSDA) at their “annual conference onboard training”, and that she has read “the board member policies and procedures and completed a brief onboarding for new members” when she joined the OSD board in 2019. She stated she received instructions concerning the Open Public Meetings Act, and that she was familiar with the requirements of “RCW 42.17A.555", both in her current OSD board position and her position as a public servant employee of Washington State.<br><br>Ms. Flores stated during an OSD meeting, School Director Reed shared information about an incident discussed at a WSSDA Conference held in November of 2022, as well as other incidents involving OSD public meetings. She said those concerns involved the “increasing levels of hate speech, harassing emails, phone calls and public comments" that she experienced as an OSD board member. At the meeting, Ms. Flores shared her concerns about her safety, and the safety of those at the OSD meetings. </p><p>Ms. Flores stated that she brought up this issue at the August 24, 2023 OSD board meeting in response to Director Reed’s comment, and she shared those concerns as she felt it was related to the safety of board members and student representatives. She stated that she did not say Mr. Durocher’s name during the OSD meeting, but that she did refer to him as “a candidate for the board” when making her comments. She stated that she never made statements directly in opposition “to either Jess Tourtellotte Palumbo or Frank Durocher’s candidacies”, but that she made her comments to address Director Reeds comments. </p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of further violations that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any enforcement action in this instance. In accordance with WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, PDC staff is issuing a formal written warning to Ms. Flores as an incumbent School Director for the Olympia School District (OSD) concerning the prohibitions found in RCW 42.17A.555 against using OSD resources and facilities to support or oppose any candidate or ballot proposition, including when making a statement(s) or referencing an individual as a public official during an open public meeting, when that individual is also a candidate for public office. <br><br>In this instance, the comments Ms. Flores made were about an individual appearing on the 2023 primary and general election ballots as a candidate for OSD School Director. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws/rules. The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1418620.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Maria Flores Response-Durocher & Comstock complaints (PDC Case 141862).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6142/Maria%20Flores%20Response-Durocher%20%26%20Comstock%20complaints%20%28PDC%20Case%20141862%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141862 Maria Flores Complaints (Comstock & Durocher).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6142/141862%20Maria%20Flores%20Complaints%20%28Comstock%20%26%20Durocher%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141862 Maria Flores complaint return letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6142/141862%20Maria%20Flores%20complaint%20return%20letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]11/22/2023 05:05:20 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Ms. Jensen was a first-time candidate, and there were no other persons listed as officers or leaders for the campaign.</p><p>• RCW 42.17A.475 states, in part, that “a person may not make a contribution of more than one hundred dollars, other than an in-kind contribution, except by a written instrument containing the name of the donor and the name of the payee.”<br>o It was found that the campaign did accept two cash contributions, totaling $800, from James Baker and David Skaugg. Both contributions were in excess of the allowed $100.<br>o In this instance, there is no further action for the campaign to take to comply with the statute.</p><p>• The complaint from Andrew Koeppen stated the following:<br>1. The “ledger presented was a hand-scribbled and incomplete list of some deposits and withdrawals, lacking clarity and completeness.”<br>2. “The candidate failed to provide occupation and employer information for individuals who contributed more than $250 aggregate, whether through cash or check.”<br>3. “The candidate failed to provide complete underlying source documentation, there were no canceled checks, copies of contribution checks, and or digital transaction records.”</p><p>Kirryn Jensen responded to these statements, explaining that: <br>• “The ledger I had was neatly written, had all deposits, and withdrawals. Mr. Koeppen did not ask for any further clarifying information.” <br>• “I did provide Mr. Koeppen information for James Baker and David Skaugg’s address, occupation, and location of employer on my ledger as well as filed it in the online filing system.” <br>• “I did provide complete underlying source documentation including written receipts. I did not provide cancelled checks as my bank does not provide those to me.”</p><p>RCW 42.17A.235 states, in part, “the treasurer or candidate shall preserve the books of account, bills, receipts, and all other financial records of the campaign.” WAC 390-16-043 defines “books of account” as “a ledger or similar listing of contributions, expenditures, and debts,” and the books of account include: “a ledger, spreadsheet, or similar listing of contributions, expenditures, loans, debts and obligations to substantiate the information disclosed on the PDC campaign finance reports.”</p><p>The format of the “books of account” is not mandated by statute or WAC but the expectation is that the information is accurate and thorough to substantiate the required reporting to the Commission. As well, it is not expected that a campaign maintains records not provided by a financial institution, for example cancelled checks. However, the campaign should maintain copies of received contribution checks and other source documents outlined in WAC 390-16-043.<br>o Based on submitted reports, the campaign did have adequate record keeping facilitating reporting to the Commission. The evidence does not support a violation.</p><p>• Mr. Koeppen’s complaint also stated, “it was observed that Kirryn Jensen and Carla Urias received an in-kind donation for radio commercials from Amy Breitenstein, potentially violating the rule that prohibits transfer of campaign funds or services to other candidates or political committees.” The case review determined Amy Breitenstein’s campaign did pay for a radio commercial during her campaign and that the campaigns of Kirryn Jensen and Carla Urias received a benefit from that political advertising. Both candidates were aware of the political advertising and reimbursed Amy Breitenstein’s campaign for their share of the costs. There was initial confusion by the campaigns on how to report these transactions, but those reporting issues are resolved. The evidence does not support a violation.</p><p>• Mr. Koeppen’s complaint further stated, “the candidate also omitted to disclose an in-kind donation from a PAC called ‘Connecting Communities.’” The in-kind was alleged to have been a flyer created and distributed by the PAC that endorsed the candidates. Upon review of the flyer and further responses from Ms. Jensen, there does not appear to have been coordination between the PAC and the campaign regarding the creation of the flyer, and Ms. Jensen states they did not participate in the distribution. The evidence does not support a violation.</p><p>• During the books of account inspection by Andrew Koeppen, David Hunt was present. The complaint alleged the campaign concealed Mr. Hunt’s role as treasurer and campaign manager. Ms. Jensen acknowledges that David Hunt helped on her campaign, and was present at the book of account inspection, but states that he was not an officer of her campaign. The evidence does not support a violation.</p><p>• Mr. Koeppen also alleged, “I believe that one of the in-kind contributions attributed to Mr. Hunt and cash donation by Jon Smith may actually have originated from Mr. Hunt’s PAC, known as ‘Connecting Communities.’” There was no evidence provided to substantiate this allegation, and it is determined by PDC staff to be unfounded.</p><p>• Following the submission of Mr. Koeppen’s complaint, pictures of Amy Breitenstein, Carla Urias, Kirryn Jensen, David Skaugg, David Hunt, and Dan Delano were provided. These pictures are of them socializing together as well as working together on the various campaigns of the candidates. Candidates may attend campaign events, civic engagement related events, or “Get out the vote” (GOTV) events with other candidates. GOTV events aim to increase voter turnout in elections and often focus their efforts on voter registration and encouragement of voting generally.<br> <br>Although the law prohibits using campaign funds to make a contribution to another candidate or political committee (other than using surplus funds to give to a political party or caucus committee), a candidate is allowed to use their campaign money to pay for costs to attend an event held by another candidate, a political party or committee so long as attending the event is directly related to the candidate's own campaign and the candidate's campaign only pays the per-person cost of consumables provided at the event (that is, the candidate uses their campaign money only to pay for their share of the actual cost of food, beverages, preparation, catering and entertainment furnished at the event). If the candidate wishes to pay the full admission charge (e.g., including a contribution amount above and beyond the costs associated with attendance), they must use their personal funds to do so.</p><p>Candidates may work together, or with other entities, to coordinate campaign events, but if there are event costs attributable to candidates, then those costs should be shared by all candidates who receive a benefit from the event. We encourage candidates to directly pay vendors their share of the costs, and report this share as an expenditure in the Online Reporting of Campaign Activity (ORCA) system.</p><p>o The evidence does not support a violation.</p><p>• Allegations made against David Hunt are not germane to case #145110. If Mr. Koeppen has evidence to support his allegations, he should follow-up with a separate complaint directly against Mr. Hunt.</p><p>• Kirryn Jensen does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, accepting over the limit cash contributions in the 2023 election does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d): staff reminded Kirryn Jensen that per RCW 42.17A.475, the transaction of a contribution over $100 without a written instrument is a violation and therefore such contributions should not be accepted. This reminder resolves the allegations associated with RCW 42.17A.475. Also in this case, the numerous other allegations are determined to either be unfounded or the evidence did not support a violation. <br> </p><p>The PDC has dismissed these matters pursuant to RCW 42.17A.755(1) and will not conduct a more formal investigation into these allegations or take further enforcement action in these matters. <br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1451100.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "145110 Jensen_Kirryn Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6337/145110%20Jensen_Kirryn%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Reminder"}, {"file_name" : "145110 Jensen Kirryn Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6337/145110%20Jensen%20Kirryn%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "145110 Jensen Kirryn Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "145110 Jensen_Kirryn Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6337/145110%20Jensen_Kirryn%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]02/21/2024 02:18:18 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>The Respondent is a first-time candidate for election who filed with Elections officials on May 17, 2019 and was therefore required to file a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) with the PDC within two weeks, or no later than May 31, 2019. The Respondent filed a C-1 report with the PDC on August 3, 2019 identifying its Treasurer and depository, which was received 64 days late. On the C-1 report, the Respondent selected the Mini-reporting Option, whereby a candidate’s campaign is not required to file C-3 & C-4 reports with the PDC if they raise & spend no more than $5,000 and receive no more than $500 from any one contributor. </p><p>Upon being notified of the missing C-1 report, the Respondent quickly replied and made a good-faith effort to resolve noncompliance by filing the report within 24 hours.</p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to timely register as a candidate does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.

Specifically, the complaint alleged that county employees used official work email to express support or endorsement for candidate Darrin Wallace. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and evidence submitted; the applicable statutes and rules; the response provided by the Respondent; and other relevant information to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Communicating with staff on leadership staff changes via email is a normal and regular activity for public agencies.

Staff expects the Respondent to include proper sponsor identification on all future sponsored political advertising. The Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Staff found the following:</p><ul><li>David Hunt registered Connecting Communities PAC as a political committee with the Public Disclosure Commission on July 24, 2023, listing himself as Treasurer, Washington Federal Bank as the committee’s bank, and selecting the Mini Reporting Option, meaning the committee was not required to file reports of contributions and expenditures.</li><li>Mr. Hunt said he made the flyer in question on his own behalf and printed the 50 copies on his own personal printer. He estimated the value of the paper and ink used was well under $100.00. </li><li>RCW 42.17A.320(1) states, in part, “All written political advertising, whether relating to candidates or ballot propositions, shall include the sponsor's name and address.”</li><li>RCW 42.17A.320(3) requires the sponsor identification on a flyer to appear in at least ten-point type. For a written advertisement or communication directed at more than one voter, such as a billboard or poster, the rule states the sponsor identification must be in at least ten-point type, or in type at least ten percent of the largest size type used, whichever is larger.</li><li>WAC 390-18-030(4) states sponsor identification is not required for political advertising that is sponsored by an individual using their own modest resources of less than $100, provided it meets specific criteria enumerated in the rule. In this instance, Mr. Hunt met the requirements to be exempt from the sponsor identification requirement. However, Mr. Hunt included sponsor identification on the flyer which obligated him to include <i>proper</i> sponsor identification, in accordance with RCW 42.17A.320.</li><li>The flyer identified Connecting Communities PAC as the sponsor, rather than David Hunt with Mr. Hunt’s address, in at least ten-point type.</li><li>Mr. Hunt stated he understood the font size used for the sponsor identification to be correct and said he made no attempt to hide who put out the flyer as he put Connecting Communities PAC on the flyer, a political committee he registered with the PDC, which included his name as treasurer and only officer. Mr. Hunt said if he made a mistake, it was unintentional, and no attempt was made to deceive anyone.</li></ul>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1446280.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "144628 Connecting Communities PAC Supplement to Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6298/144628%20Connecting%20Communities%20PAC%20Supplement%20to%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "144628 Connecting Communities PAC Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6298/144628%20Connecting%20Communities%20PAC%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "144628 Combined Case Closure Letters.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6298/144628%20Combined%20Case%20Closure%20Letters.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "144628 Response to Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6298/144628%20Response%20to%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/07/2025 03:54:02 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

All three C-4 reports disclosed no contributions had been received by the Committee for the bond measure, and no expenditures had been made.</p><p>The Committee Treasurer for the 2018 and 2019 ballot measure committees, stated that she was no longer the Treasurer for the Committee, but confirmed the Committee made no expenditures for the February 13, 2019, Bethel School District bond measure. She stated the Committee did make some Facebook posts and sent some text messages in support of the February 2019 bond measure, but they did not make any expenditures. </p><p>During calendar year 2018, the Committee registered with the PDC as local ballot measure committee under the Full Reporting option in support of Bethel School District ballot propositions for two elections, that included: (1) the February 13, 2018, Special Election in support of three Bethel School District ballot propositions for Proposition 1, a Maintenance and Operations levy; Proposition 2, a Technology and Capital Projects Levy; and Proposition 3, a $443 million General Obligations Bond Measure; and (2) the November 6, 2018, General Election for Proposition 1, a $443 million General Obligations Bond Measure. </p><p>RCW 42.17A.235 requires 2018 ballot measure committees in support of a November 6, 2018, ballot measure and under the Full Reporting option, to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports, including the 21-Day and 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 reports. </p><p>On November 6, 2018, the Bethel Citizens for Schools Committee (Committee) filed the 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report covering the period October 16 through 29, 2018, disclosing no monetary contributions had been received, and $7,740.18 in expenditures made. </p><p>The C-4 report disclosed expenditures that were all made on October 29, 2018, in support of the Bethel School District bond measure, that included: (1) four expenditures totaling $5,528.66 were made to Always Great Graphix for Bethel School Bond Campaign shirts and other promotional advertising; (2) three expenditures were made to EZ Texting totaling $1,502.06 to send “Robo texts to voters”; (3) a $348.61 expenditure was made to L2 Political for “Contact Information of Community”; and (4) a $315.65 expenditure was made to Sandy Williamson for “Vote Bond Card Reimbursement.” </p><p>The 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report was required to have been filed no later than October 30, 2018, was filed seven days late by the Committee and on the date of the November 6, 2018, general election.</p><p>On October 27, 2022, PDC staff received an emailed copy of a signed Statement of Understanding (SOU) completed by the Bethel Citizens for Schools Committee, acknowledging one violation of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by the Committee for failing to timely file the 2018 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report for the 2018 general election in support of the Bethel School District bond measure. The receipt of the emailed signed copy of the SOU and the assurance of prompt payment of the $150 civil penalty assessed in this matter, resolves the issue of failing to timely file the 2018 7-Day Pre-General C-4 report. </p><p>Based on these findings, including the fact the Committee completed the SOU, and has no prior violations, PDC staff found no evidence of further violations that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance. </p><p>The three late filed C-4 reports listed above for the February 2019 bond measure were all filed by the Committee well after the February 13, 2019, special election had been held. However, the late filed reports were mitigated by the facts that no contribution or expenditures were disclosed, and the Committee experienced some electronic filing issues.</p><p>Concerning the late filed C-4 reports for the February 13, 2019 special election, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the PDC is issuing a formal written warning to the Bethel Citizens for Schools Committee for failing to timely file C-4 reports. The formal written warning resolves that allegation and includes staff’s expectation that the Bethel Citizens for Schools Committee will timely file all the required campaign finance reports for all future years and elections. The Bethel Citizens for Schools Committee will be advised that the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action, should there be future violations of PDC laws or rules. </p><p>The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/111247150.000.000.00150.000.00false[{"file_name" : "111247 Bethel Citizens for School Support Comm Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5515/111247%20Bethel%20Citizens%20for%20School%20Support%20Comm%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Bethel Citizens for Schools Complaint Return Letter (Edwards) PDC Case 111247.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5515/Bethel%20Citizens%20for%20Schools%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28Edwards%29%20PDC%20Case%20111247.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "111158 - Bethel Citizens for Schools Committee - SoU.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5515/111158%20-%20Bethel%20Citizens%20for%20Schools%20Committee%20-%20SoU.pdf", "description" : "111158 - Bethel Citizens for Schools Committee - SoU", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "Bethel Cit for Schools Committee Response (Edwards) PDC Case 111158.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5515/Bethel%20Cit%20for%20Schools%20Committee%20Response%20%28Edwards%29%20PDC%20Case%20111158.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}][{"who" : "Bethel Citizen's For School Support Committee", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2022-11-30", "amount" : 150.00, "description" : "STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING", "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2022-11-01", "amount" : 150.00, "description" : "PAID - SOU"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]12/20/2022 01:08:48 PMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

The complaint alleged that Peter Abbarno, a current State Representative in Legislative District 20, may have violated RCW 42.17A.700 & .710 for failure to accurately file Personal Financial Affairs Statements (F-1 reports) disclosing all sources of income for his spouse, required to be submitted as a candidate and as an elected official.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the missing information from Rep. Abbarno’s F-1 reports was due to an unintentional oversight. Staff found no evidence that the Respondent omitted personal financial affairs information from his F-1 reports in order to purposely conceal it from the public.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely disclose reportable spousal income on F-1 reports covering calendar year 2020, 2021 and 2022 does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Rep. Abbarno will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to disclose all reportable personal financial information for his spouse on F-1 reports filed as a candidate and as an elected official. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Rep. Abbarno accurately and timely files all future required reports of financial affairs. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1448580.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "144858 Peter Abbarno Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6331/144858%20Peter%20Abbarno%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "144858 Abbarno Peter Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6331/144858%20Abbarno%20Peter%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "144858 Abbarno Peter Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6331/144858%20Abbarno%20Peter%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]01/22/2024 07:26:15 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Snohomish County Elections records show the Respondent did not participate in the Primary Election and advanced to the General Election.</li><li>The Respondent filed a Candidate Registration (C-1) report with the PDC on February 28, 2022, which was amended on January 23, 2023. “Adam Fortney for Snohomish County Sheriff” (the Campaign) selected the Full Reporting option on its registration. As a result, the candidate committee is required to report contributions and expenditures to the PDC on Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports and Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports pursuant to RCW 42.17A.235 and RCW 42.17A.240. Due dates for these reports are based upon the election cycle, the candidate’s election participation, and the campaign’s financial activity.</li><li>Effective April 1, 2023, the Commission revised monetary contribution limits, reporting threshold dollar amounts, and code values as set forth in WAC 390-05-400. These reporting threshold changes impact when candidate committees are required to file reports and what must be disclosed therein. </li><li>On August 17, 2023, PDC Staff received a complaint by you against the Campaign alleging inaccurate filing of C-3 and C-4 reports. The PDC opened case #141451 against Adam Fortney and investigated. The investigation determined the Campaign had filed reports untimely and inaccurately. The Campaign filed thirteen amended C-3 reports and seven amended C-4 reports on October 11, 2023. Many of the amended reports were the same reports that the Campaign had previously received a warning about and required further amending to correct. Also on that date, the Campaign filed two new C-3 reports from July 2023, which were untimely. Information in the new and amended reports included:<ul><li>Reporting of missing in-kind contributions and description details specific to campaign signs acquired in January – March 2023.</li><li>Reporting of refunds to contributors who donated over the allowed contribution limit of $1,200.</li><li>Correction of donor address.</li><li>Correction of contributions attributed to businesses rather than individual donors.</li><li>Corrections of contributions attributed to the incorrect donor.</li><li>Reporting of new contributions.</li><li>Reporting of auction fundraiser.</li></ul></li></ul><p>On November 3, 2023, the PDC received a signed Statement of Understanding (SOU) and a penalty payment of $450 from Adam Fortney for case #141451. The evidence you provided in that case, regarding violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, tracked the evidence provided in #140550. Therefore, with the resolution of PDC case #141451, we have dismissed the alleged violations in this case.</p><ul><li>RCW 42.17A.555 states in part, no elective official nor any employee in his or her office nor any person appointed to or employed by any public office or agency may use or authorize the use of any of the facilities of a public office or agency, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of assisting a campaign for election of any person to any office or for the promotion of or opposition to any ballot proposition. The statute and PDC Interpretation No. 04-02 further clarify and explain what is considered a “facility” and exceptions to the law.</li><li>On March 29, 2021, Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) Staff received a complaint against Adam Fortney alleging a violation of RCW 42.17A.555 by using public office/agency facilities to assist an election campaign. Staff conducted a case review (see case #89226), and on June 7, 2021, staff issued a reminder about the importance of avoiding even the appearance or perception of using agency facilities.</li><li>On November 27, 2022, PDC Staff received a complaint against Adam Fortney alleging a violation of RCW 42.17A.555 by using public agency resources to assist a campaign. Staff conducted a case review (see case #115027), and on February 27, 2023, staff issued a reminder about the importance of not using public office/agency resources to assist a campaign for election, even when a candidate does not consider themself to be “campaigning.” Furthermore, Adam Fortney reminded that as an elected official and public office agency/employee that he was subject to RCW 42.17A.555 regardless of the timing of campaign activities. With that reminder, Adam Fortney was provided the PDC’s Guidelines for Local Government Agencies in Election Campaigns to assist in future compliance with the law. </li><li>On August 1, 2023, PDC Staff received your complaint against Adam Fortney alleging a violation of RCW 42.17A.555 by using public agency resources to assist a campaign. On October 5, 2023, the PDC opened an investigation into the allegation.</li><li>As alleged in the complaint, the investigation found that Adam Fortney used resources of the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) to assist his 2023 re-election campaign. Specifically, he gave away five Sheriff’s Challenge Coins as a prize at a re-election fundraiser. Sheriff’s Challenge Coins have normally and regularly been used in Adam Fortney’s official duties as Sheriff of Snohomish County. The fundraiser was a car show where the entry fee was by campaign contribution up to the maximum allowed per RCW 42.17A.405. The SCSO purchased the Sheriff’s Challenge Coins, used as prizes for the car show, at a total cost of $33.75.

49979967210/14/202110/13/202112/06/2021Charles Alan WichertJoseph D. MarineMarine, Joe: Alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.405 by accepting a contribution & attributing it to the contributor's 2021 primary election contribution limits, when the candidate's name did not appear on the primary election ballot. (EY'21; Oct'21)RCW 29B.40.020/42.17A.405Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - Local<p>A complaint was filed against Joe Marine alleging that Joe Marine, incumbent Mayor for the City of Mukilteo and a candidate seeking re-election to that office in 2021, may have violated RCW 42.17A.405 for receiving over-limit contributions for a candidate whose name only appeared on the 2021 general election ballot. </p><p>On February 4, 2021, Joe Marine filed a Candidate Registration declaring his candidacy for re-election to the office of Mayor of Mukilteo in 2021, selecting the Full Reporting Option and listing Candy Marine as Treasurer. </p><p>RCW 42.17A.405 limits candidates for Mayor and City Council in calendar year 2021 to receiving $1,000 in contributions from any one individual or person for each election in which the candidate’s name appears on the ballot. Only two candidates filed to run for Mayor in the City of Mukilteo in 2021, so there was no primary election for this race and Joe Marine’s name did not appear on the 2021 primary ballot. Therefore, each candidate was limited to one $1,000 contribution limit from any one source for the entire 2021 election cycle. </p><p>The C-3 reports filed by the Joe Marine Campaign (Campaign) disclosed the following: (1) a $1,000 monetary contribution was received from Paul Marshall on February 22, 2021, which was designated for the 2021 Primary election; and (2) a $1,000 monetary contribution was received from Paul Marshall on August 1, 2021, which was designated for the 2021 General election. </p><p>On September 9, 2021, the Campaign timely filed the Post-Primary Election C-4 report disclosing a total of $20,405 in total contributions had been received by the Campaign as of August 31, 2021, that included the $1,000 general election contribution received from Mr. Marshall on August 1, 2021. </p><p>The C-4 report disclosed that as of August 31, 2021, the Campaign’s expenditures totaled $3,176.81, with a cash on hand balance of $17,228.19, indicating the $1,000 contribution from Mr. Marshall on August 1, 2021 had not been spent.</p><p>On October 26, 2021, the Campaign timely filed the 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report disclosing that a $1,000 expenditure had been made on October 24, 2021 to Paul Marshall, refunding the $1,000 that had previously been contributed by Mr. Marshall in excess of the contribution limits. The 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report disclosed the Campaign had a $13,153 cash on hand balance, after the $1,000 contribution had been refunded to Mr. Marshall. </p><p>In his response to this complaint, Mr. Marine stated that he “did not have a primary election and it was my mistake in accepting this contribution.” He stated that the Campaign refunded a $1,000 contribution to Mr. Marshall and filed a C-4 report disclosing the $1,000 refunded contribution. He reiterated that the over limit contribution “was a misunderstanding on my part in the contribution limits. We have double checked all contributions and his is the only contribution we made this mistake on.”</p><p>Based on these findings, staff has determined in this instance while the Campaign did exceed the contribution limits found in RCW 42.17A.405 by receiving a $1,000 over-limit contribution received from Mr. Marshall. PDC staff found the Campaign refunded the $1,000 over limit contribution from Mr. Marshall prior to the November 2, 2021 general election, once they became aware of exceeding the contribution limits; the Campaign had a significant cash on hand balance that confirmed the $1,000 over limit contribution received from Paul Marshall was not spent by the Campaign prior to being refunded. <br><br>Thus, PDC staff does not believe these facts amount to a material violation warranting further investigation or any enforcement action. PDC staff sent Joe Marine a letter reminding him about the importance of staying within the contribution limits of the office being sought for the remainder of the 2021 election cycle, and any election in the future in which his name appears on the ballot. <br><br>Based on this information, the PDC dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p><p> </p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/996720.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Email response from Joe Marine (PDC Case 99672).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4997/Email%20response%20from%20Joe%20Marine%20%28PDC%20Case%2099672%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Marine, Joe Complaint Return with Reminder Letter (Wichert) PDC Case 99672.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4997/Marine%2C%20Joe%20Complaint%20Return%20with%20Reminder%20Letter%20%28Wichert%29%20PDC%20Case%2099672.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Reminder"}, {"file_name" : "99622 Anderson, Ron Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4997/99622%20Anderson%2C%20Ron%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "99622 Anderson, Ron Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]12/06/2021 02:41:27 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>The Respondent is a first-time candidate for election who filed with Elections officials on May 15, 2019 and was therefore required to file a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) with the PDC within two weeks, or no later than May 29, 2019. The Respondent filed a C-1 report with the PDC on August 3, 2019 identifying its Treasurer and depository, which was received 66 days late. On the C-1 report, the Respondent selected the Mini-reporting Option, whereby a candidate’s campaign is not required to file C-3 & C-4 reports with the PDC if they raise & spend no more than $5,000 and receive no more than $500 from any one contributor. </p><p>The Respondent indicated that noncompliance was the result of a medical emergency, which the Respondent made a good-faith effort to resolve within 24 hours of being notified.</p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to timely register as a candidate does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. However, the PDC reminded the Respondent about the importance of timely filing all future PDC reports.

(EY '22; Oct '22)RCW 29B.45.010/42.17A.555Resolved through Statement of Understanding (SOU)Public Agency - Local<p>This case concerned an alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.555 by using public facilities to support a ballot proposition. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and evidence submitted; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the responses provided by Highline School District 401 (the “Respondent” or “Highline SD”); its district-wide mailer (fact sheet), website, social media posts, and digital ad content; and other relevant information to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Based on the <strong>attached </strong>findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, the use of school district resources to promote a ballot proposition does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>However, PDC staff reminded Highline School District 401 officials about the importance of adhering to all of the <a href="https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/guidelines-restrictions/guidelines-school-districts-election-campaigns"><i>Guidelines for School Districts in Election Campaigns</i></a> which state that, in no case, will the PDC view a marketing or sales effort related to an election as normal and regular conduct. The school district was further reminded not to use school district resources to produce and distribute promotional content and to avoid statements that minimize the cost of a ballot proposition, speculate about the possible secondary or tertiary impacts of a ballot proposition and/or promote its fiscal management. If the cost of a bond is subject to change, we recommended the school district provide a best estimate in its fact sheet and refer the public to its website for up-to-date cost information.</p><p>PDC staff expects that, in the future, Highline SD will not use, or authorize the use of, school district facilities to promote a ballot proposition in accordance with PDC laws and rules.</p><p>Catherine Carbone Rogers, Chief Communications Officer of Highline School District 401, completed a <i>Statement of Understanding</i> (SOU) and paid a $600 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging violating RCW 42.17A.555 by using, or authorizing the use of, the public agency facilities of the Highline School District to promote a ballot proposition in the 2022 General Election. The $600 penalty assessed resolves the allegations listed in this complaint.</p><p>Specific activity that was addressed in the SOU included the collection and distribution of: </p><p>1) promotional content, including published quotes and messages from Highline SD students, faculty and/or staff containing emotional language and statements that implied support for the proposed new construction, improvements, and repairs. This content was distributed frequently over multiple communication channels, often accompanied by staged photos, some holding up design renderings for the proposed new construction; and</p><p>2) detailed and frequent information about how to vote, including the locations of ballot drop-boxes, ballot instructions, voting tips and links, that appeared to exceed similar efforts conducted for other elections in which the school district did not have a measure on the ballot. </p><p>While the use of social media, digital ads and storytelling are widely used to communicate with audiences, they can also persuade audiences to take a particular action. The Respondent should exercise caution when using such tools to convey information regarding a ballot proposition to ensure that its communications are factual, fair, objective, and free of statements of support, emotional appeals, opinions, and other promotional or persuasive content. </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/113641600.000.000.00600.000.00false[{"file_name" : "113641 Highline SD 401 Initial Hearing Results (Respondent).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5595/113641%20Highline%20SD%20401%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20%28Respondent%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113641 Highline SD 401 Initial Hearing Notice.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5595/113641%20Highline%20SD%20401%20Initial%20Hearing%20Notice.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113641 Highline School District 401 Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5595/113641%20Highline%20School%20District%20401%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113641 Highline SD 401 Initial Hearing Results (Complainant).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5595/113641%20Highline%20SD%20401%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20%28Complainant%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113641 Highline School District 401 Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5595/113641%20Highline%20School%20District%20401%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113641 Highline SD 401 SOU Dismissal _ Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5595/113641%20Highline%20SD%20401%20SOU%20Dismissal%20_%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "SOU - Case 113641, Highline SD 401.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5595/SOU%20-%20Case%20113641%2C%20Highline%20SD%20401.pdf", "description" : "SOU - Case 113641, Highline SD 401", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}][{"who" : "Highline SD 401", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2023-05-15", "amount" : 600.00, "description" : "SOU", "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2023-05-08", "amount" : 600.00, "description" : "PAID - SOU"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]05/18/2023 12:53:39 PMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

(EY'21, Nov'21)RCW 29B.30.050/42.17A.320, RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Resolved through Statement of Understanding (SOU)Candidate - Local<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed on November 19, 2021. The complaint alleged that Lisa Wollum, a 2021 candidate for Fire Commissioner in King County Fire Protection District 16 may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign; and (2) RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to include the required sponsor identification on political advertisement sponsored by the Campaign. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the responses provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>The Respondent was a first-time candidate in the 2021 election, served as her own treasurer and the only officer of her Campaign. Upon receipt of the November 19, 2021, complaint, Ms. Wollum worked with PDC Filer Assistance staff to file C-3 and C-4 reports and amend as necessary to accurately disclose all campaign activity. It appears that the late reporting of the C-3 and C-4 reports and the exclusion of a full sponsor ID specifically including an address, was due to the limited experience of the Respondent and not done intentionally to mislead the public.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(f), the PDC received a completed Statement of Understanding (SOU) on March 3, 2022, from Lisa Wollum acknowledging a violation of RCW 42.17A.235 for failure to timely file C-3 and C-4 reports. Ms. Wollum paid a $300 total ($150 for late filed C-3 reports and $150 for late C-4 reports) civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), which resolves the issue. </p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to include the 2021 Wollum Campaign address in the sponsor ID on written political advertisement, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.

The Respondent won the Primary but did not win the General election. The Respondent filed a Candidate Registration (C-1) May 04, 2021, for the position of City Council Member, District 3 Position 2, City of Spokane, Washington. The Respondent won election, took office in 2022, and is currently a City Council Member in the City of Spokane.</li><li>PDC staff found that when the Respondent became a candidate for State Representative in 2020, he timely filed an F-1 report for the period 5/14/19 to 5/13/20 on May 17, 2020. On May 10, 2023, the PDC informed the Respondent and Complainant the required F-1 was filed on time and there was no evidence that supported a violation of RCW 42.17A.700. To the allegation that the Respondent violated 42.17A.710 and tried to conceal personal financial information from the public, in reviewing later F-1 reports filed by the Respondent as well as the Spokane County assessor’s record, for property owned by the Respondent, the F-1 report filed by the Respondent in 2020 appears complete. There is no evidence that supports a violation in this instance.</li><li>Also on May 10, 2023, the PDC informed the Respondent and Complainant that the provided evidence did not support a violation of RCW 42.17A.430(8) because the transfers made between the 2020 and 2021 Zappone campaigns occurred between two campaigns controlled by the same candidate for different years and different offices. RCW 42.17A.430(8) states “No candidate or authorized committee may transfer funds to any other candidate or other political committee.”</li><li>To the allegation the Respondent violated RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 by failing to accurately report the receipt of contributions totaling $7,860, at the start of the 2021 City Council campaign. PDC staff found the campaign reported on C-4 #110013514 and #110019711, from the 2020 State Representative campaign, the total amount of $7,860 in funds transferred out of that campaign and on C-4 #110012805, amended by #110015923, a “carry forward” balance of $7,860 at the start of the 2021 City Council campaign. To ensure transparency for when the transfers occurred and to show that the contributors approved the transfers, staff requested the campaign amend their reporting to include the following:<ul><li>February 2021 C-3 #1101666797 added to address the transfer of 2020 campaign contributions with approval for $6,115 received on 2/10/21.</li><li>February 2021 C-3 #110166798 added to address transfer of 2020 campaign contributions with approval for $745 received on 2/28/21.</li><li>April 2021 C-3 #110166799 added to address transfer of 2020 campaign contributions with approval for $1,000 received on 4/3/21.</li><li>Amended the applicable January 2021, February 2021, and April 2021 C-4s.</li></ul></li></ul><p>In this instance, the PDC reminded the Respondent that guidance does change from time to time, and it is important to seek out current instruction provided on the PDC website or to reach out directly to PDC Filer Assistance if campaign reporting questions arise. Staff expects, in the future if a similar situation occurs, the Respondent will follow PDC Interpretation 23-01 and all other applicable laws and rules.</p><ul><li>In response to the allegation the Respondent violated RCW 42.17A.490 by not obtaining written approval from donors to transfer their unused contributions, originally made to the Respondent’s State Representative campaign, to the City Council campaign PDC staff obtained written approvals for a sample of those transfers and confirmed the campaign properly obtained required approvals. There is no evidence that supports a violation in this instance. </li><li>On May 25, 2023, the PDC adopted Interpretation 23-01, which states in part, “…the Commission determined that the use of a candidate’s surplus contributions for the same person’s campaign for a different office are considered contributions to that new campaign.” At the time of this interpretation, case #136626 was in the case review phase. PDC staff requested the Respondent amend their reports and supply the names of the contributors and rather than provide that information the Respondent requested a hearing before the Commission.</li><li>On June 22, 2023, a hearing was held per Chapters 34.05 and 42.17A RCW, and Chapters 390-37 WAC and the matter was heard. On July 27, 2023, the Commission issued a <a href="https://pdc-case-tracking.s3.us-gov-west-1.amazonaws.com/5795/136626%20Zappone_Zack%20Final%20Order.pdf">Final Order</a> dismissing a violation of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 specific to a campaign in which the election had already concluded and where the reporting of contributor names associated with a lump sum transfer of campaign funds from one campaign to a campaign for a different office occurred.</li></ul><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1366260.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Combined ROI _ Exhibits.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5795/Combined%20ROI%20_%20Exhibits.pdf", "description" : "136626 Zappone Zack ROI with exhibits", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "136626 Zappone_Zack Final Order.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5795/136626%20Zappone_Zack%20Final%20Order.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Commission order"}, {"file_name" : "136626 Zappone Zack Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5795/136626%20Zappone%20Zack%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "136626 Zappone_Zack Initial Hearing Notice.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5795/136626%20Zappone_Zack%20Initial%20Hearing%20Notice.pdf", "description" : "136626 Zappone Zack Initial Hearing Notice", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "136626 Zappone_Zack Initial Hearing Results Letters (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5795/136626%20Zappone_Zack%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20Letters%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "136626 Zappone Zack Initial Hearing Results Letters", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "136626 Zappone, Zack Stipulation to Facts.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5795/136626%20Zappone%2C%20Zack%20Stipulation%20to%20Facts.pdf", "description" : "136626 Zappone Zack Stipulation to Facts", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "136626 Zappone_Zack Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5795/136626%20Zappone_Zack%20Response.pdf", "description" : "136626 Zappone Zack Response", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "136626 Zappone_Zack Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5795/136626%20Zappone_Zack%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Reminder"}, {"file_name" : "136626 Zappone_Zack Notice of Administrative Charges FINAL.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5795/136626%20Zappone_Zack%20Notice%20of%20Administrative%20Charges%20FINAL.pdf", "description" : "136626 Zappone Zack Notice of Administrative Charges", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "136626 Zappone_Zack Enforcement Hearing Notice FINAL.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5795/136626%20Zappone_Zack%20Enforcement%20Hearing%20Notice%20FINAL.pdf", "description" : "136626 Zappone Zack Enforcement Hearing Notice", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "136626 Zappone_Zack Enforcement Hearing Continuation Notice.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5795/136626%20Zappone_Zack%20Enforcement%20Hearing%20Continuation%20Notice.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/29/2023 10:11:30 AMCommission or presiding officer dismissed allegations.

Staff reviewed all attachments submitted with the complaint, the relevant statute, the November 8, 2022, response from attorney Emily Hogan on behalf of New Direction PAC, and all other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following: </p><p>On October 24, 2019, New Direction PAC filed a Committee Registration (C-1pc) with the PDC and listed Kurt Fritts and Jay Petterson as Campaign Manager and Ministerial Treasurer, respectively. • You alleged in your complaint that “New Direction PAC’s misleading website (and the texting campaign promoting it) is not only claiming a false endorsement but is making false ideological assumptions about a candidate and sharing them as fact. Boyce has soundly denounced the false endorsement claim and the ideological assumptions drawn from it. Unchecked, these false claims on Boyce’s campaign and character stand to inflict damage on Boyce – as a candidate and an individual. This is unfair, unjust, and unacceptable.” </p><p>The public website maintained by The Family Policy Institute of Washington (FPIW) lists all its endorsed candidates for office. Staff noted that Bill Boyce is listed on the public website maintained by FPIW as an endorsed candidate, along with other candidates endorsed by FPIW. From the review of the six attachments you provided with the complaint, there is no evidence that New Direction PAC stated or claimed that Bill Boyce wanted and/or accepted the endorsement of FPIW. New Direction PAC noted in their political advertisement and text message to prospective voters in the 47th Legislative District, that Mr. Boyce was endorsed by FPIW based on his name appearing on the endorsement page of the public website maintained by FPIW.</p><p>In its response to your complaint, attorney Emily Hogan, on behalf of the New Direction PAC, stated: “The Family Policy Institute of Washington maintains a public website in which it lists all of its endorsed candidates for office. Bill Boyce is listed on this website as an endorsed candidate. He was on this list of endorsed candidates prior to New Direction PAC’s publishing the statements at issue here. New Direction PAC never claimed that Boyce sought or accepted this group’s endorsement – it claimed, truthfully, that the group endorsed Boyce. New Direction PAC believed it was relevant to voters to know that the Family Policy Institute of Washington sees Boyce as more favorable to achieving its agenda that any other candidate in the race. The statement ‘Boyce is also endorsed by the Family Policy Institute of Washington’ is true – that organization endorsed Boyce. This is neither ‘a false statement of material fact about a candidate for public office,’ nor directly or indirectly, a false claim stating or implying the support or endorsement or any person or organization when in fact the candidate does not have such support or endorsement.’ Because the statement is not false, there is no violation of RCW 42.17A.335(1).” </p><p>Lastly, staff review only focused on the endorsement aspect of the complaint, which is under our jurisdiction, and did not address the “false ideological assumptions” that was also alleged in the complaint but is not under our jurisdiction. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff found no evidence of a violation warranting a formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this matter.</p><p>Accordingly, the PDC found that no further action was warranted and dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1138540.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "113854 New Direction PAC Complaint Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5605/113854%20New%20Direction%20PAC%20Complaint%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113854 New Direction PAC Compliant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5605/113854%20New%20Direction%20PAC%20Compliant.pdf", "description" : "113854 New Direction PAC Compliant", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113854 New Direction PAC Complaint Return Letter .pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5605/113854%20New%20Direction%20PAC%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}]07/22/2024 08:58:31 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

In addition, the complaint alleged the Brian Noble campaign may have violated RCW 42.17A.320 by failing to include sponsor identification and the candidate’s party or independent preference in a political advertising YouTube video.</p><p>Paul Brian Noble was a first-time candidate in 2022 for the position of Spokane County Commissioner. Mr. Noble included videos on his campaign website that included language describing the role of a county commissioner by stating:</p><ul><li>“We’re responsible for the three branches of county government….”</li><li>“We sit on a lot of boards….”</li><li>“We work with the Sheriff’s office….”</li></ul><p>Upon receipt of the complaint, Mr. Noble immediately corrected the video by changing “we” to “them” to clarify he was referring to the role of County Commissioners and was not trying to imply he was a County Commissioner. </p><p>The portion of the website cited in the complaint included the candidate’s name, followed by the title of the office sought, which some people interpret as implying incumbency; however, Mr. Noble’s website also stated what he intends to do if elected and provides information about his history, family, and hobbies, information normally associated with a candidate seeking an elective office. The complaint noted that while Mr. Noble’s video appeared on his website, suggesting it was sponsored by the candidate, the video could also be lifted from the website and shared in other places, increasing the importance of including sponsor identification in the video. Mr. Noble stated all videos were prepared by him, using his phone, at no cost; however, he put the sponsor as the Committee to Elect Brian Noble and himself as the one who paid for the video. </p><p>The PDC dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1) and will not be conducting a more formal investigation into these allegations or taking further enforcement action in this matter. However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the PDC issued a formal warning concerning the lack of sponsor identification and party preference on a political advertising YouTube video. Staff expects the Respondent to include sponsor identification, and when applicable, party preference, on future political advertising. The Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1121880.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "112188 Combined Case Closure Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5546/112188%20Combined%20Case%20Closure%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "112188 Noble Brian Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5546/112188%20Noble%20Brian%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "112188 Noble Paul Brian Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "112188 Response to Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5546/112188%20Response%20to%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/07/2025 04:56:21 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complainants also alleged a violation of RCW 42.17A.445, claiming that Mr. Binda made expenditures using Campaign funds for activities that were not directly related to his candidacy for Lynnwood City Council. </p><p>On January 20, 2022, the PDC conducted an Initial Hearing (Case Review Status) and opened a formal investigation against the 2021 Joshua Binda Campaign.</p><p>An Adjudicative Proceeding (Enforcement Hearing) before the Full Commission was conducted on January 26, 2023, in which Mr. Binda participated by telephone.</p><p>The Commission found that Joshua Binda, a first-time candidate seeking the office of Lynnwood City Council in 2021, violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.445 and WAC 390-16-238 by making multiple expenditures using 2021 Joshua Binda for Lynnwood City Council Campaign (Campaign) funds for goods or services that were not directly related to the Campaign, and so were personal in nature; and (2) RCW 42.17.235 and .240 by failing to timely file the 2021 Post-General Election Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure report (C-4 report) disclosing contribution and expenditure activities undertaken by the Campaign. </p><p>The Commission assessed a civil penalty of $1,000 with $500 suspended against Joshua Binda, based on on the following conditions: (1) The non-suspended portion ($500) of the $1,000 civil penalty for improper personal use of campaign funds and the failure to timely file the C-4 report for 2021 in violation of RCW 42.17A.445 and RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, respectively, is paid by the Respondent within 30 days of the date of this Final Order; (2) Mr. Binda remains in full compliance with all PDC reporting requirements and is not found to have committed any further violations of Chapter 42.17A RCW or Title 390 WAC within four years of the date of this Final Order; and (3) The suspended penalty shall not be assessed based solely upon any remediable violation, minor violation, or error classified by the Commission as appropriate to address by a technical correction.</p><p>If the Respondent fails to meet the conditions in Section III(1) of this order within 30 days of the date of this order, the suspended portion of the penalty shall immediately become due and the matter may be sent to collection or brought to Superior Court as allowed by law without further action by the Commission.</p><p>The following is the information contained in the Notice of Administrative Charges issued by PDC Staff:</p><p>On February 27, 2021, Joshua Binda, a first-time candidate for public office, filed a Candidate Registration declaring his candidacy for Lynnwood City Council, Position 3.

The complaints alleged Kelly Chambers, a current member of the Washington State House of Representatives, violated RCW 42.17A.560 by accepting contributions during the Legislative session freeze. <br><br>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><p>Jason Michaud, treasurer for Friends of Kelly Chambers stated “the deposits made for the County race after 12/08/2023 were all online contributions. The received dates reflect the time the money is transferred to the bank account; however, all contributions were made prior to the 12/09/2023 session freeze.”</p><p>In addition, Michaud noted in the “report notes” field on the Monetary Contribution (C-3) report filed Feb. 14, 2024, for the state House of Representatives campaign, the donations were postmarked prior to Dec. 9, 2023.</p><p>Based on this, staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance.

563911540210/26/202210/26/202201/24/2023Elizabeth RohrLewis County NewsLewis County News (LCN): Alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.320 by failing to identify whether advertising or editorial content provided to three candidates was political advertising that required a complete sponsor id (EY22, Dec22)RCW 29B.30.050/42.17A.320Case Closed with ReminderCommercial Advertiser<p>A complaint was filed against the Lewis County News (LCN) alleging a violation of RCW 42.17A.320 for failing to include the sponsor identification on political advertisements that appeared in the LCN during the 2022 election cycle in support of candidates Tracy Murphy, Mike Hadaller, and Harry Bhagwandin. </p><p>Once the complaint was initially filed, PDC staff contacted Pat Myers and the LCN with questions about candidate political advertisements that ran in the LCN during the 2022 election cycle. Part of staff’s correspondence with Mr. Myers included a commercial advertiser request of the LCN for paid political advertising accepted between August 23, 2022, through the November 2022 general election. </p><p>On November 7, 2022, Mr. Myers submitted an email response to staff stating that “the Lewis County News did not and does not provide free of charge or discounted rates for political advertising.” He stated in response to PDC staff’s commercial advertiser request of the LCN that during the timeframe August 23 through November 8, 2022, the LCN received paid political advertising from two candidates, Mike Hadaller, a candidate for a Lewis County PUD Commissioner and Tracy Murphy, a candidate for Lewis County Sheriff.</p><p>Mr. Myers stated that Mr. Hadaller ran one full page color ad, 6 columns x 10", that was published on October 12, 2022, and was billed at the LCN full rate, which is $17 per column inch for an “ad running at a size of 60 col. inches” for a cost of $1,020. He stated that Mr. Murphy ran one 3 column inch x 5-inch color advertisement that was also published on October 12, 2022, and was billed at the LCN full rate, which is $17 per column inch for an “ad running at a size of 15 col. inches,” for a cost of $255. </p><p>Mr. Myers stated that both advertisements contained the required sponsor identifications for The Committee to Elect Tracy Murphy, and the Mike Hadaller Campaign.</p><p>On November 9, 2022, Mr. Myers submitted an additional email to PDC staff as a follow-up to the initial response, stating that “During the campaign season we invite all candidates from our voting districts to write and submit for publication a short bio and explanation of their platform to better inform our readers of their choices. All submittals that we received this year were submitted via email by the candidates or their campaign.”</p><p>Mr. Myers stated in response to staff’s questions about how he would categorize the political advertisements or editorial content that was provided in the LCN for candidates<strong> </strong>Tracy Murphy, Mike Hadaller, and Harry Bhagwandin, “if I were asked to classify this type of content, I would call it editorial.” </p><p>After receiving the November 9, 2022, response from Mr. Myers, PDC staff sent emails to the three 2022 Lewis County candidates in opposition to candidates Murphy, Hadaller, and Bhagwandin that included Scott Brummer, Rob Snaza, and Kevin Emerson. </p><p>Staff asked the three candidates to indicate if they had been contacted by an LCN representative about submitting 2022 candidate information for publication, were they asked to participate in a candidate interview, did they submit any candidate information to the LCN for publication, and did any of the information get published. The responses from candidates Emerson, Snaza and Brummer seemed to indicate that all three candidates felt they did not have an opportunity to submit candidate information to the LCN for publication as “Guest Editorial Content.”</p><p>Mr. Myers was asked if he or Ms. Hoffman contacted candidates Emerson, Snaza and Brummer about submitting a short bio or candidate information for the LCN publication, and Mr. Myers stated that he did not. He went on to state that if the three candidates had “submitted an editorial it would have been published per our policy. Per our policy, we have always had an open invitation to the public to submit Letters to the Editor or Guest Editorials to the paper for consideration and publication provided they adhere to our policies. This is common in most if not all newspapers.”</p><p>Mr. Myers stated that Ms. Hoffman informed his that “she did attempt to contact Sheriff Snaza prior to the election but did not get a response.” He added that “if anyone submits an op/ed piece that follows our policy guidelines and provides our readership with useful information we would run it.” When asked if he or the LCN would categorize Ms. Hoffman’s contacts with candidates Murphy, Hadaller, and Bhagwandin as “candidate interviews”, he stated no, “this company would consider these pieces to be guest editorials."</p><p>Mr. Myers stated that "We welcome these from the general public as this is our standard mode of operation and they would have run without a charge.”</p><p>Staff asked Mr. Myers about the three “articles or bios” that appeared on pages 3 and 5 of the October 19, 2022, edition of the LCN, providing information candidates Murphy, Hadaller, and Bhagwandin, and how they seemed to be reprinted of the three candidates talking points, with each written using the first person “I”. He again stated the three “pieces were guest editorials, again, a regular part of our business.” </p><p>Mr. Myers reiterated his earlier comments that it was “the position of this newspaper that no candidate received free advertising during the 2022 campaign cycle. As a result, there was no requirement to declare a sponsor as is a requirement pursuant to RCW 42.17A.320.” He stated that it is the LCN’s “job to help inform our readership of any and/or all pertinent information and guest editorials are just one of the multiple ways that we use to do that. It is standard operating procedure. We have a long-standing policy on the matter.” </p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation by the Lewis County News or Pat Myers that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any enforcement action in this instance. </p><p>RCW 42.17A.005(15)(b) states in part that “Contribution does not include: (iv) A news item, feature, commentary, or editorial in a regularly scheduled news medium that is of interest to the public, that is in a news medium controlled by a person whose business is that news medium, and that is not controlled by a candidate or a political or incidental committee.”</p><p>As noted above Mr. Myers stated that “if anyone submits an op/ed piece that follows our policy guidelines and provides our readership with useful information we would run it.” However, it appears that candidates Tracy Murphy, Mike Hadaller, and Harry Bhagwandin were treated differently than their opponents Scott Brummer, Rob Snaza, and Kevin Emerson by the LCN with regards to the LCN “candidate interview process”. In addition, it seemed candidates Murphy, Hadaller, and Bhagwandin were made aware of the opportunity to have their candidate information published as “Guest Editorials” and in at least one case were assisted with drafting the “editorial,” when it does not appear that candidates Brummer, Snaza, and Emerson received a similar offer.</p><p> When combined with the information published in the LCN in the first-person using the word “I”, it was not clear to PDC staff and likely the public whether the information published in the LCN about candidates Murphy, Hadaller, and Bhagwandin was editorial content or paid advertising. In the future, PDC staff would encourage the Lewis County News to clearly indicate when candidate information is being presented as “editorial” or “guest editorial” content.</p><p>PDC staff has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1154020.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Lewis County News Complaint Return Letter (PDC Case 115402).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5639/Lewis%20County%20News%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28PDC%20Case%20115402%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Reminder"}, {"file_name" : "Pat Myers Lewis County News Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5639/Pat%20Myers%20Lewis%20County%20News%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "115402 Lewis County News Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5639/115402%20Lewis%20County%20News%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]05/20/2024 12:38:56 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

(AUG'23, EY'23)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240, RCW 29B.40.020/42.17A.405Resolved through Statement of Understanding (SOU)Candidate - Local<p>PDC staff reviewed the allegation(s); the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>The Respondent is Sheriff of Snohomish County with a term beginning January 1, 2020, and sought re-election to this same position in election year 2023. Snohomish County Elections records show the Respondent did not participate in the Primary Election and advanced to the General Election.</li><li>The Respondent filed a Candidate Registration (C-1) report with the PDC on February 28, 2022, which was amended on January 23, 2023. “Adam Fortney for Snohomish County Sheriff” (the Campaign) selected the Full Reporting option on its registration. As a result, the candidate committee is required to report contributions and expenditures to the PDC on C-3 and C-4 reports pursuant to RCW 42.17A.235 and RCW 42.17A.240. Due dates for these reports are based upon the election cycle, the candidate’s election participation, and the campaign’s financial activity.</li><li>Effective April 1, 2023, the Commission revised monetary contribution limits, reporting threshold dollar amounts, and code values as set forth in WAC 390-05-400. These reporting threshold changes impact when candidate committees are required to file reports and what must be disclosed therein. </li><li>On May 15, 2023, the PDC received a complaint against Adam Fortney alleging failure to timely and accurately file C-4 reports. Staff conducted a case review (see case #137892), and on August 9, 2023, staff issued a formal written warning concerning the Campaign’s failure to timely disclose contributions, in-kind contributions, and expenditures made to the Campaign during the period of January 1, 2023, to July 31, 2023.</li><li>On August 17, 2023, PDC Staff received your complaint against the Campaign alleging inaccurate filing of C-3 and C-4 reports and accepting over the limit contributions.</li><li>As alleged in your complaint, the investigation determined the Campaign accepted over- limit contributions. After being notified of the complaint, the campaign refunded $4,600 on August 29, 2023, to the contributors named in the complaint, and an additional $4,300 was discovered when the Campaign conducted an audit. The $4,300 was reported as paid on October 6, 2023, to Billy Dunn, Jantz Gregory, Mark Richardson, Debra Richardson, and Ardor Printing.</li><li>The Campaign filed thirteen amended C-3 reports and seven amended C-4 reports on October 11, 2023. Many of the amended reports were the same reports that the Campaign had previously received the warning about and required further amending to make correct. Also on that date, the Campaign filed two new C-3 reports from July 2023, which were untimely. Information in the new and amended reports included:<ul><li>Reporting of missing in-kind contributions and description details specific to campaign signs acquired in January – March 2023.</li><li>Reporting of refunds to contributors who donated over the allowed contribution limit of $1,200.</li><li>Correction of donor address.</li><li>Correction of contributions attributed to businesses rather than individual donors.</li><li>Corrections of contributions attributed to the wrong donor.</li><li>Reporting of new contributions.</li><li>Reporting of auction fundraiser.</li></ul></li><li>In the complaint, you asked whether an “amendment to [an] original contribution is considered a concealment of contribution under RCW 42.17A.435.” There are many reasons a campaign may amend their reports and an amendment is not necessarily an indication of a violation. Neither in the evidence provided nor in our investigation did we find any reporting that support a violation of RCW 42.17A.435.</li></ul><p>A mitigating factor in this case is that the Respondent accepted responsibility and took immediate action to hire a new treasurer who completed an audit of the campaign. The campaign issued refunds for the over-limit contributions and addressed reporting errors and missing information timely once notified.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(f), Adam Fortney completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) and paid a $450 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for not timely and accurately disclosing expenditures and contributions for the period of January 2023 through July 2023 on the Receipts & Expenditure Summary (C-4) report and the Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) report; and RCW 42.17A.405 for accepting over the limit contributions in election year 2023. The $450 penalty assessed resolves the allegations listed in your complaint.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/141451450.000.000.00450.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141451 Fortney_Adam Response (2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6107/141451%20Fortney_Adam%20Response%20%282%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "140550 & 141451 Fortney_Adam Initial Hearing Results Letters (Fortney).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6107/140550%20%26%20141451%20Fortney_Adam%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20Letters%20%28Fortney%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141451 Fortney Adam Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6107/141451%20Fortney%20Adam%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "141451 Fortney Adam Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141451 Fortney_Adam Statement of Understanding - Signed Electronic Copy.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6107/141451%20Fortney_Adam%20Statement%20of%20Understanding%20-%20Signed%20Electronic%20Copy.pdf", "description" : "141451 Fortney_Adam SOU", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "141451 Fortney_Adam Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6107/141451%20Fortney_Adam%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141451 Fortney_Adam Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6107/141451%20Fortney_Adam%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "141451 Fortney Adam Supp Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6107/141451%20Fortney%20Adam%20Supp%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}][{"who" : "Adam Fothey", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2023-11-03", "amount" : 450.00, "description" : null, "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2023-11-01", "amount" : 450.00, "description" : "SOU Payment"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]11/27/2023 01:09:45 PMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

In dismissing the complaints, PDC staff explained:</p><ul><li>When a complaint alleges that a candidate, in his or her political advertising, has used the term “reelect” in a manner that is not in agreement with the proper use of the term as stated in WAC 390-18-040(1) and (2), it is presumed that the complaint is also alleging that the candidate has violated RCW 42.17A.335(1)(b) by sponsoring political advertising that falsely represents that the candidate is the incumbent for the office sought when in fact the candidate is not the incumbent.</li><li>When a complaint alleges that a candidate, in his or her political advertising, has made a false statement of material fact about a candidate for public office, it is presumed that the complaint is alleging that the candidate has violated RCW 42.17A.335(1)(a) even though the alleged false statement is about the candidate himself or herself.</li><li>However, RCW 42.17A.335(3) states, in part, “It is not a violation of this section for a candidate or his or her agent to make statements described in subsection (1)(a) or (b) of this section about the candidate himself or herself because a person cannot defame himself or herself.”</li><li>Because RCW 42.17A.335(3) states that a candidate cannot defame himself or herself, Mr. Johnson’s statement asking voters to reelect him as a council member in District 2 when he is not an incumbent office holder in District 2 is not a violation of RCW 42.17A.335(1)(b).

The complaint alleged that Robin Farris, a candidate for City Council for the City of Puyallup in the 2019 election, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the late reporting was due in large part to Ms. Farris acting as her own treasurer and the only officer of her campaign.

You have run four campaigns for elected office starting in 2012 and are currently an incumbent PUD Commissioner in Benton County. You have served in office since January 2013.</li><li>On, December 29, 2021, you filed a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) declaring your candidacy for Benton County Commissioner in accordance with RCW 42.17A.205, selecting the “Mini Reporting” option provided by WAC 390-16-105. By selecting the “Mini Reporting” option, you were not subject to the requirements of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 to file C-3 and C-4 report, provided your Campaign did not accept more than $500 from any single source (excluding you as the candidate using your own funds) and did not receive contributions or make expenditures totaling more than $5,000 in aggregate over the course of your Campaign.</li><li>The 2022 Bush Campaign received $5,511.44 in cash and in-kind contributions and expended $5,509.22. The Campaign initially exceeded the $5,000 total contribution limit for campaigns registered under the “Mini Reporting” option on June 21, 2022, after depositing $3,000 in monetary contributions. </li><li>Between June 8, 2022, and July 28, 2022, the 2022 Bush Campaign worked with PDC staff to file and amend numerous C-3 and C-4 reports to bring the campaign into full reporting compliance, but the filings were not completed, and you stopped responding to PDC staff. </li><li>On August 5, 2022, Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) staff sent a letter informing you that your request to change from “Mini Reporting” to the “Full Reporting” option for the primary election was denied because your application was not completed timely, meaning by the deadline of June 21, 2022, per WAC 390-16-125(2). Also at this time, PDC staff informed you that a review of the Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Campaign Full Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) filed by your Campaign disclosed contributions received exceeded the $5,000 limitations of the “Mini Reporting” option. You were notified by PDC staff that you had exceeded the limits of the “Mini Reporting” option and our records show you verbally acknowledged the violations. </li><li>On December 22, 2022, PDC Staff opened a complaint against the 2022 Barry Allen Bush Campaign alleging receipt and expenditure of campaign contributions in excess of the $5,000 mini reporting limitations and late and inaccurate filing of C-3 and C-4 reports. </li><li>Between January 20, 2023, and March 6, 2023, the 2022 Bush Campaign worked with PDC staff to amend and file numerous C-3 and C-4 reports bringing the campaign into full reporting compliance. </li><li>You submitted a response to staff’s complaint, stating that “Initially I expected to stay within the parameters of ‘mini reporting’. Eventually it became clear that I was going to exceed what is allowed under Mini Reporting. At this point I called to inquire about switching to ‘Full Reporting’. I was advised to submit the proper paperwork. It was explained that I was past the required date, but I would likely be permitted to switch. I notified both of my opponents of the switch via the US Mail. At this point I assumed I would be approved for Full Reporting and I moved on. Eventually I was informed that I was not approved. At no point did I attempt to hide any contributions. I was simply trying to win an election. Looking back I could have done things differently.

The complaint alleged that Kelli Hughes-Ham, a candidate for State Representative in Legislative District 19 in the 2022 election may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Kelli Hughes-Ham is a first-time candidate for public office, serving as her own treasurer and only officer.

The complaints alleged that Betsy Wilkerson, incumbent Spokane City Council Member and candidate for Spokane City Council President in the 2023 election, may have violated RCW 42.17A.555 for misuse of public facilities or resources and RCW 42.17A.240 for failing to disclose the cost of the use of a campaign event venue.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Campaign Manager Haley Turner and Treasurer Andy Taylor on behalf of the Respondent; PDC Interpretation 04-02; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the majority of the activities included in the two complaints and detailed above were conducted as part of the normal and regular official business of Ms. Wilkerson and Mr. Carlos. Staff found that the Respondent has a fair understanding of the prohibition on the use of facilities to support any candidate and intended to avoid violating RCW 42.17A.555. See, for example, Mr. Carlos’ use of leave to attend a campaign event during his usual workday. </p><p>However, staff believes that the use of city resources for the October 25, 2021, interview with KXLY reporter, Esther Bower (see Alleged Violation 5), should have been avoided. </p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, the albeit unintended use of city resources to participate in an interview apparently intended for Ms. Wilkerson as a candidate, not as a public official, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Betsy Wilkerson will receive a formal written warning concerning the use of public facilities for campaign purposes. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Ms. Wilkerson will proactively review all events and activity to ensure that city resources and city staff are never used for any campaign efforts. The Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1415370.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141537 Wilkerson, Betsy (2) Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6116/141537%20Wilkerson%2C%20Betsy%20%282%29%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141537 Wilkerson Betsy Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6116/141537%20Wilkerson%20Betsy%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "141537 Wilkerson Betsy Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141537 Wilkerson Betsy Complaint 2.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6116/141537%20Wilkerson%20Betsy%20Complaint%202.pdf", "description" : "141537 Wilkerson Betsy Complaint 2", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141537 Wilkerson Betsy Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6116/141537%20Wilkerson%20Betsy%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]11/17/2023 05:33:15 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaints alleged that NKSD Bond (Sponsored by Dennis Scott Henden), a political committee registered with the PDC to oppose Resolution 10-01-2023 (Proposition 1) in the February 13, 2024, special election may have violated RCW 42.17A and chapter 390 WAC by using a committee name similar to the North Kitsap School District consequently implying that the school district was responsible for the advertisements opposing the bond. PDC staff reviewed the evidence and opened a case alleging violations of RCW 42.17A.320 for failing to include sponsor identification on a website.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the missing sponsor identification on the Respondent’s website was a result of the limited experience and general lack of knowledge regarding sponsor ID requirements and not done to purposely conceal the sponsor’s name from the public. Staff found that the Respondent was registered as a political committee opposing the North Kitsap School District bond measure for the February 13, 2024, special election prior to receipt of the complaints, and the public could visit the PDC’s website to learn more about the committee. </p><p>In addition, while staff did not opine as to whether the use of the name NKSD Bond created confusion to the general public, staff found no merit to the allegation that the mere use of the name was a violation of any law or rule enforced by the PDC. Finally, the Respondent voluntarily made edits to their website to clarify their opposition to the bond and that they are not affiliated with the North Kitsap School District.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to include sponsor identification on written political advertisement, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, the Respondent will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to include the required sponsor identification on written political advertisement. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that NKSD Bond reviews all political advertisement to ensure it includes sponsor identification prior to being made available to the public. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1466860.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "146686 NKSD Bond Sponsored by Dennis Scott Henden complaint 3.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6357/146686%20NKSD%20Bond%20Sponsored%20by%20Dennis%20Scott%20Henden%20complaint%203.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "146686 NKSD Bond Sponsored by Dennis Scott Henden complaint 5.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6357/146686%20NKSD%20Bond%20Sponsored%20by%20Dennis%20Scott%20Henden%20complaint%205.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "146686 NKSD Bond Sponsored by Dennis Scott Henden complaint 2.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6357/146686%20NKSD%20Bond%20Sponsored%20by%20Dennis%20Scott%20Henden%20complaint%202.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "146686 NKSD Bond Sponsored by Dennis Scott Henden Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6357/146686%20NKSD%20Bond%20Sponsored%20by%20Dennis%20Scott%20Henden%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "146686 NKSD Bond Sponsored by Dennis Scott Henden complaint 1.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6357/146686%20NKSD%20Bond%20Sponsored%20by%20Dennis%20Scott%20Henden%20complaint%201.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "146686 NKSD Bond Sponsored by Dennis Scott Henden complaint 4.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6357/146686%20NKSD%20Bond%20Sponsored%20by%20Dennis%20Scott%20Henden%20complaint%204.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "146686 NKSD Bond Sponored by Dennis Scott Henden Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6357/146686%20NKSD%20Bond%20Sponored%20by%20Dennis%20Scott%20Henden%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]12/17/2024 10:11:38 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

633814511111/07/202311/07/202302/21/2024Andreas KoeppenCarla UriasUrias, Carla: Alleged violation of RCW42.17A.475 for accepting over limit cash contributions, WAC390-16-034 for failing to collect required contributor info & WAC390-16-043 for failure to maintain underlying source documentation (NOV'23, EY'23)WAC 390-16-043, WAC 390-16-034, RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240, RCW 29B.40.190/42.17A.475Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - Local<p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>Carla Urias filed a Candidate Registration (C-1) on June 5, 2023, selecting the Full Reporting option. Ms. Jensen was a first-time candidate and there were no other persons listed as officers or leaders for the campaign. </li><li>RCW 42.17A.475 states, in part, that “a person may not make a contribution of more than one hundred dollars, other than an in-kind contribution, except by a written instrument containing the name of the donor and the name of the payee.”</li><li>It was found that the campaign did accept two cash contributions, totaling $800, from James Baker and David Skaugg. Both contributions were in excess of the allowed $100.</li><li>In this instance, there is no further action for the campaign to take to comply with the statute.</li><li>Per RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, under the Full Reporting option, a committee is required to disclose contribution and expenditure information by submitting Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports and Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports to the PDC. The Committee’s due dates for the C-3 and C-4 reports are determined by its activity and participation in the election cycle. <ul><li>RCW 42.17A. 235(5) & .240(2) identify the threshold for required reporting of the identity of contributors and WAC 390-16-308 further directs campaigns on the reporting of the source of a contribution. </li><li>WAC 390-16-034 directs campaigns to disclose the name and address of each person who made one or more contributions in the aggregate amount of more than $250, as well as their occupation, and the name and location (city and state) of their employer. </li><li>WAC 390-16-037 directs campaigns on how to report the detail of an expenditure for goods and/or services.</li></ul></li></ul><p>It was determined that in all but one instance the C-3 and C-4 reports were filed late. In most instances the reporting was months late, and all reports were filed after the election. The end of election cycle C-4 was filed timely. The campaign reported total receipts in the amount of $2,000, and expenditures of $1,842.84.</p><ul><li>The complaint from Andrew Koeppen stated the following:</li></ul><ol><li>The “ledger presented was a hand-scribbled and incomplete list of some deposits and withdrawals, lacking clarity and completeness.”</li><li>“The candidate failed to provide occupation and employer information for individuals who contributed more than $250 aggregate, whether through cash or check.”</li><li>“The candidate failed to provide complete underlying source documentation, there were no canceled checks, copies of contribution checks, and or digital transaction records.”</li></ol><p>Carla Urias responded to these statements, explaining that:</p><ul><li>“The ledger I had was clearly written, had all deposits and withdrawals. Mr. Koeppen did not ask for any further clarifying information.” </li><li>“I did provide Mr. Koeppen information for James Baker and David Skaugg’s address, occupation, and location of employer on my ledger as well as filed it [in] your online system.” </li><li>“I did provide complete underlying source documentation including written receipts. I did not provide cancelled checks as my bank does not provide those to me.”</li></ul><p>RCW 42.17A.235 states, in part, “the treasurer or candidate shall preserve the books of account, bills, receipts, and all other financial records of the campaign.” WAC 390-16-043 defines “books of account” as “a ledger or similar listing of contributions, expenditures, and debts,” and the books of account include: “a ledger, spreadsheet, or similar listing of contributions, expenditures, loans, debts and obligations to substantiate the information disclosed on the PDC campaign finance reports.”</p><p>The format of the “books of account” is not mandated by statute or WAC but the expectation is that the information is accurate and thorough to substantiate the required reporting to the Commission. As well, it is not expected that a campaign maintains records not provided by a financial institution, for example cancelled checks. However, the campaign should maintain copies of received contribution checks and other source documents outlined in WAC 390-16-043.</p><ul><li>Based on submitted reports, the campaign did have adequate record keeping facilitating reporting to the Commission. The evidence does not support a violation. </li><li>Mr. Koeppen’s complaint also stated, “it was observed that Kirryn Jensen and Carla Urias received an in-kind donation for radio commercials from Amy Breitenstein, potentially violating the rule that prohibits transfer of campaign funds or services to other candidates or political committees.” The case review determined Amy Breitenstein’s campaign did pay for a radio commercial during her campaign and that the campaigns of Kirryn Jensen and Carla Urias received a benefit from that political advertising. Both candidates were aware of the political advertising and reimbursed Amy Breitenstein’s campaign for their share of the costs. There was initial confusion by the campaigns on how to report these transactions, but those reporting issues are resolved. The evidence does not support a violation. </li><li>Mr. Koeppen’s complaint further stated, “the candidate also omitted to disclose an in-kind donation from a PAC called ‘Connecting Communities.’” The in-kind was alleged to have been a flyer created and distributed by the PAC that endorsed the candidates. Upon review of the flyer and further responses from Ms. Urias, there does not appear to have been coordination between the PAC and the campaign regarding the creation of the flyer, and Ms. Urias states they did not participate in the distribution. The evidence does not support a violation. </li><li>During the books of account inspection by Andrew Koeppen, David Hunt was present. The complaint alleged the campaign concealed Mr. Hunt’s role as treasurer and campaign manager. Ms. Urias acknowledges that David Hunt helped on her campaign, and was present at the book of account inspection, but states that he was not an officer of her campaign. The evidence does not support a violation.</li><li>Mr. Koeppen also alleged, “I believe that one of the in-kind contributions attributed to Mr. Hunt and cash donation by Jon Smith may actually have originated from Mr. Hunt’s PAC, known as ‘Connecting Communities.’” There was no evidence provided to substantiate this allegation, and it is determined by PDC staff to be unfounded.</li><li>Following the submission of Mr. Koeppen’s complaint, pictures of Amy Breitenstein, Carla Urias, Kirryn Jensen, David Skaugg, David Hunt, and Dan Delano were provided. These pictures are of them socializing together as well as working together on the various campaigns of the candidates. Candidates may attend campaign events, civic engagement related events, or “Get out the vote” (GOTV) events with other candidates. GOTV events aim to increase voter turnout in elections and often focus their efforts on voter registration and encouragement of voting generally.</li></ul><p>Although the law prohibits using campaign funds to make a contribution to another candidate or political committee (other than using surplus funds to give to a political party or caucus committee), a candidate is allowed to use his or her campaign money to pay for costs to attend an event held by another candidate, a political party or committee so long as attending the event is directly related to the candidate's own campaign and the candidate's campaign only pays the per-person cost of consumables provided at the event (that is, the candidate uses his or her campaign money only to pay for his or her share of the actual cost of food, beverages, preparation, catering and entertainment furnished at the event). If the candidate wishes to pay the full admission charge (e.g., including a contribution amount above and beyond the costs associated with attendance), he or she must use his or her personal funds to do so.</p><p>Candidates may work together, or with other entities, to coordinate campaign events, but if there are event costs attributable to candidates, then those costs should be shared by all candidates who receive a benefit from the event. We encourage candidates to directly pay vendors their share of the costs, and report this share as an expenditure in the Online Reporting of Campaign Activity (ORCA) system.</p><ul><li>The evidence does not support a violation.</li><li>Allegations made against David Hunt are not germane to case #145110. If Mr. Koeppen has evidence to support his allegations, he should follow-up with a separate complaint directly against Mr. Hunt.</li><li>Carla Urias does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, accepting over the limit cash contributions and failing to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports in the 2023 election does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d):</p><ol><li>In case 145111, PDC staff reminded Carla Urias that per RCW 42.17A.475, the transaction of a contribution over $100 without a written instrument is a violation and therefore such contributions should not be accepted. This reminder resolves the allegations associated with RCW 42.17A.475. Also in this case, the numerous other allegations are determined to either be unfounded or the evidence did not support a violation. </li><li>In case 143991, Carla Urias will receive a formal written warning concerning their failure to timely and accurately file Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) and Receipts & Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports. This warning resolves the allegations associated with RCW 42.17A.235 and RCW 42.17A.240. </li></ol><p>The PDC has dismissed these matters pursuant to RCW 42.17A.755(1) and will not conduct a more formal investigation into these allegations or take further enforcement action in these matters. </p><p>In the future, staff expects Carla Urias to comply with all laws, rules and PDC guidance pertaining to cash contributions and filing timely and accurate C-3 and C-4 reports. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1451110.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "145111 Urias_Carla Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6338/145111%20Urias_Carla%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "145111 Urias Carla Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6338/145111%20Urias%20Carla%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "145111 Urias Carla Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "145111 Urias_Carla Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6338/145111%20Urias_Carla%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]02/21/2024 02:19:42 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

623614310910/05/202310/04/202312/19/2023Scott MooreAshley EckelEckel, Ashley: Alleged Violation of RCW 42.17A.710 for failure to accurately disclose information on the Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) (EY23, Oct23)RCW 29B.55.030/42.17A.710Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsPublic Employee - Local<p>On October 4, 2023, the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) received a complaint alleging that Ashley Eckel, a candidate for City Council Member (Position 2) for City of Clyde Hill, may have violated RCW 42.176A.710 by failing to timely and accurately disclose real property debts, including the terms of repayment of debt disclosed, and ownership interest/rental income in real property listed on the Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1) report. </p><p>To determine whether a formal investigation or enforcement action is warranted, PDC staff reviewed the allegations listed in the complaint; the applicable statute(s), rule(s), and reporting requirements; the F-1 report filed by Ashley Eckel; and the October 12, 2023, response to the complaint submitted by Ashley Eckel (Respondent) on behalf of her 2023 Campaign. </p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><p>On May 19, 2023, the Respondent filed a Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1) report for 2023, covering the period beginning May 9, 2022, through May 8, 2023. The F-1 report was amended once thereafter. • You alleged in your complaint that the Respondent failed to accurately report ownership interest in real property, including the debt and rental income attached to said real property.</p><p>In her responses to the complaint, received on October 12, 2023, the Respondent stated: “Mr. Moore implies that I intentionally did not report co-ownership of my home with my parents, Cynthia and Louis Pandolfi. Indeed, my husband and I share joint ownership of 3216 93rd PL NE Clyde Hill 98004 with Cynthia and Louis Pandolfi. I spoke with the Public Disclosure Commission on at least 2 occasions (see T-Mobile documentation, Eckel – Exhibit A) in May of 2023. On 5/18/2023, prior to submission, I confirmed with both the initial staff member answering the phone as well as a second senior/expert staff member at the PDC that there was no way in the PDC website to list four owners of the home. The PDC staff instructed me to put the first two owners. I have now confirmed, again, on October 10 2023 that there is still no way in the PDC website to list four owners. If the PDC can fix their website, I am very happy to supply the list of four owners, as I was when I originally filled out the form.”</p><p>Regarding the allegation about the failure to disclose the mortgage rate on the Bothell property listed on the F-1 report, the Respondent, in her response, stated: “My. [sic] Moore implies that I intentionally listed an incorrect mortgage rate for the Bothell property. My mortgage rate on the above property is 2.25%. When we initially recorded the loan document, my mother, who prepared the document for us, forgot to fill in the interest rate for the loan, leaving it at the template 0.00. My father informed me shortly after that IRS code requires a minimum interest rate, so we needed to amend this. We had multiple communications about this, and he sent my husband and I a formal letter confirming that the interest rate would be 2.25%.” Additionally, regarding the Bothell property, the Respondent further noted that – “I do not receive any income from the Bothell property. All the income and expenses, including depreciation for the property, are included in my [parent’s] tax returns. Frank and I do not take any income from this property. I am happy to supply all accounting records for the property, as well as bank statements, if necessary.”</p><p>RCW 42.17A.710 requires a candidate to disclose for “the reporting individual and each member of the reporting individual’s immediate family… (a) list, including legal or other sufficient descriptions as prescribed by the commission, of all real property in the state of Washington, the assessed valuation of which exceeds ten thousand dollars in which a direct financial interest was held.”</p><p>RCW 42.17A.005 defines “immediate family” to include “the spouse or domestic partner, dependent children, and other dependent relatives, if living in the household.” </p><p>The candidate’s F-1 reported ownership of real property for her and her spouse, as required. It also disclosed the assessed value of the property in the ranges prescribed in RCW 42.17A.710(3)(b).</p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that no evidence of a violation existed to warrant further investigation. </p><p>Accordingly, PDC staff found that no further action was warranted and dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1)(a). </p><p> </p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1431090.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "143109 Eckel, Ashley Complaint Disposition Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6236/143109%20Eckel%2C%20Ashley%20Complaint%20Disposition%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}, {"file_name" : "143109 Eckel, Ashley Complaint Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6236/143109%20Eckel%2C%20Ashley%20Complaint%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "143109 Eckle Ashley Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6236/143109%20Eckle%20Ashley%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]07/22/2024 09:56:50 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

Ms. Vazquez’s campaign filed a Candidate Registration (C-1) report with the PDC on June 2, 2023, under the Full Reporting option, which was amended on October 23, 2023, to the Mini Reporting option.</li><li>Per RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, under the Full Reporting option, a committee is required to disclose contribution and expenditure information by submitting Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports and Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports to the PDC. The Committee’s due dates for the C-3 and C-4 reports are determined by its activity and participation in the election cycle.<ul><li>RCW 42.17A. 235(5) & .240(2) identify the threshold for required reporting of the identity of contributors and WAC 390-16-308 further directs campaigns on the reporting of the source of a contribution. </li></ul></li><li>Per WAC 390-16-105(2), a political committee is not required to comply with provisions of RCW 42.17A.225 through 42.17A.240, except as otherwise prescribed in WAC 390-16-038, 390-16-115, and 390-16-125, if the committee selects the Mini Reporting option on its Candidate Registration (C-1) and meets both of the following conditions:<ul><li>Does not raise nor expend an amount that exceeds $7,000; and</li><li>Does not accept contributions from any one person (other than the candidate) which exceed $500 aggregate. </li></ul></li></ul><p>Candidates and committees choosing mini reporting do not file contribution and expenditure reports, but they must file a registration statement, keep records of their contributions and expenditures, and comply with disclosure requirements. </p><ul><li>No approval is necessary to change from Full Reporting to Mini Reporting as long as the mini reporting limits have not been exceeded. A candidate is responsible for timely filing the C-3 and C-4 reports that were due during the time they were registered under full reporting.</li><li>The campaign accepted contributions on September 3, 2023, and September 26, 2023, that exceeded the per person $500, aggregate, allowable limit to be eligible for the Mini Reporting option.</li><li>The campaign filed only one C-3 report, submitted on October 26, 2023, identifying five contributions received between June 8, 2023, and October 11, 2023, for a total of $2,085. These contributions were deposited on October 12, 2023.<ul><li>The reported information for the June through September contributions was significantly late. In the reporting cycle for the October contributions, the report was submitted 10 days late. The contribution information was provided after the complaint was filed.</li><li>All but the contribution received on October 11, 2023, were held past the allowed five business days of receipt before being deposited.</li></ul></li><li>The campaign filed most of the required C-4 reports, on October 27, 2023, after the complaint was filed. On January 1, 2024, after the PDC instructed the campaign to do so, the 7-day pre-general and the post-general reports were filed. The end of cycle C-4 was reported timely. Because the expenditures reported in these reports were missing details about the purpose of the expenditure, the campaign amended reports on January 22, 2024.</li><li>You also stated in your complaint “She is hosting events with 5 other candidates, and they are buying votes. They are collecting ballots, registering people to vote, holding community event where they are giving away prizes, free dinner to all attendees, renting out the public pool and bringing in expensive speakers.” Based on the case review, PDC staff have determined that Ms. Vazquez and the other candidates identified in your complaint did attend events together. <ul><li>It is not prohibited for a campaign to provide food to attendees at a campaign event nor to give prizes, conduct a raffle, or give away “thank you” gifts to attendees for their time as long as the value is nominal, and those items are reported correctly by the campaign in their PDC filings.</li><li>Keren Vazquez did attend the “Get out the vote” event where the public pool was rented but she did not coordinate the event or contribute to the costs of the event.</li><li>Keren Vazquez did attend the event with the guest speaker, Raul Ramos, but was not responsible for coordinating the event. The speaker does not charge a speaker fee.</li></ul></li></ul><p>Candidates are not prohibited from attending campaign events, civic engagement related events, or “Get out the vote” (GOTV) events with other candidates. GOTV events aim to increase voter turnout in elections and often focus their efforts on voter registration and encouragement of voting generally. In this instance, neither the evidence provided, nor the reports filed by the campaign, support an allegation about these events that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Although the law prohibits using campaign funds to make a contribution to another candidate or political committee (other than using surplus funds to give to a political party or caucus committee), a candidate is allowed to use his or her campaign money to pay for costs to attend an event held by another candidate, a political party or committee so long as attending the event is directly related to the candidate's own campaign and the candidate's campaign only pays the per-person cost of consumables provided at the event (that is, the candidate uses his or her campaign money only to pay for his or her share of the actual cost of food, beverages, preparation, catering and entertainment furnished at the event).

Ms. Li was a first-time candidate seeking public office in 2023. On October 26, 2023, Ms. Li filed an amended Candidate Registration changing from the Full Reporting Option to the Mini Reporting Option.</p><p>RCW 42.17A.320 requires the sponsor identification, including the candidate’s name and complete mailing address to appear on political advertisements such as direct mail, TV and radio broadcast advertisements, and social media advertisements. In addition, if the direct mail advertisement is sponsored by multiple candidates, the sponsor identification must include all candidate names and their complete mailing addresses.</p><p>Ms. Li stated in her response that the joint four-candidate mailer “was designed by a third party” and included information about all four candidates “running in this election with similar ideals.” She stated the information had been provided by Mr. Trautman, Mr. Griffin, Mr. Tallman, and her Campaign, and was taken from information that had previously been included in each candidate’s own “individual flyers.”</p><p>Ms. Li stated that when the final draft of the mailer was shared with her, she informed the other three candidates that she didn't have the funds to pay for her pro-rata share. She stated that rather than redesigning the mailer to exclude her candidate information, the other three “candidates kindly offered to split the costs for the printing and postage 3 ways between themselves without my financial input.”</p><p>Ms. Li stated the three candidates wanted to include her candidate information in the “mailer to show group unity.” She stated that the three candidates, Mr. Trautman, Mr. Griffin, and Mr. Tallman, each paid 1/3 of the costs for the mailer, that she was not involved in finalizing the mailer, and did not make an expenditure or payment for the mailer.</p><p>Ms. Li stated that she confirmed with all three candidates that they explained the mailer to Ms. Simpson and showed “her their… receipts clearly showing their 3 way pro rata share of the cost.”</p><p>The other three candidates were all under the Mini Reporting Option, which did not require any itemized campaign finance reports to be filed, including Monetary Contributions reports (C-3 reports), and Ms. Li changed to the Mini Reporting Option on October 26, 2003. It was not possible for PDC staff to ascertain<br>based on the available records if the three candidates paid for Ms. Li’s portion using personal or campaign funds, since no campaign finance reports are filed by candidates under Mini Reporting.</p><p>Based solely on Ms. Li’s response, she indicated that she did not pay for her portion of the mailer so the “Paid for by” sponsor identification did not require her name to be included, unless it stated the words “Sponsored by” since the content for her portion of the mailer was provided by her Campaign.</p><p>PDC staff did not find any evidence of a violation that would require conducting a further review or investigation into the complaint allegation or pursuing any enforcement action in this instance. Based on this information, the PDC finds that no action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW<br>42.17A.755(1) and WAC 390-37-060(1)(a).</p><p>PDC staff is reminding Ms. Li to include the proper sponsor identification on all future political advertisements, including her name and complete mailing address in which she is appearing as a candidate.

The report also disclosed a $1,702 expenditure to Rosemary Daniels on July 15, 2020 for Campaign services.</p><p>Ms. Metz stated that the correct expenditure details for the PAC expenditures made and attributed to payroll were as follows: (1) June 2020: The $4,516 expenditure made by the PAC on June 1, 2020, should have been disclosed as: $1,862.54 paid to Alycia Lewis; $1,760.00 paid to Greyson Van Arsdale, with $896.07 in payroll taxes paid through Surepayroll; (2) July 1-13, 2020: The $7,472.09 expenditure made by the PAC on July 14, 2020, should have been disclosed as: $1,760 paid to Greyson Van Arsdale; $1,858.54 paid to Alycia Lewis; $1,605 paid to Hannah Swoboda; and $2,248.55 in payroll taxes paid through Surepayroll; and (3) July 14-31, 2020: The $2,000.16 expenditure made by the PAC on July 21, 2020, should have been disclosed as $1,618.02 paid to Joe Sugrue and $382.14 for payroll taxes paid through Surepayroll. </p><p>On November 18, 2020, Ms. Metz filed amended 21-Day and 7-Day Pre-Primary C-4 reports correcting the expenditures made by the PAC to accurately disclose the individuals listed above as having been paid by the PAC for “Campaign Services” for June and July of 2020.</p><p>Ms. Metz stated that she was a first-time Treasurer and had no prior experience filing Campaign finance reports with the PDC through the Online Reporting of Campaign Activity (ORCA) Software. She stated that "<i>This error occurred when we first switched over to a direct deposit payroll system with surepayroll in June, which also coincided with an expansion of our campaign team.”</i> </p><p>Ms. Metz stated that prior to making the change the PAC’s employees were all paid by check, but under the new payroll system with surepayroll, some of the employees were being paid by the PAC directly by check and some PAC employees were paid electronically through direct deposits. </p><p>PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance. Staff has determined that Tax Amazon PAC inadvertently disclosed the payments made to committee staff for services as a lump sum expenditure made to surepayroll when the committee changed to an automated direct deposit payment system for payroll expenses, rather than identifying each individual committee staff member paid by the PAC. </p><p>PDC staff has reminded Tax Amazon PAC about the importance of campaign finance reporting for political committees, including the timely and accurate disclosure of committee expenditures for payments made to committee staff, and all other reportable committee contribution and expenditure activities, and to comply with the continuing political committee and ballot measure committee reporting requirements in the future. </p><p>The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/761940.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "76194 Tax Amazon (2) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3692/76194%20Tax%20Amazon%20%282%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Tax Amazon PAC response to complaint (Andersom complaint) PDC Case 76194.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3692/Tax%20Amazon%20PAC%20response%20to%20complaint%20%28Andersom%20complaint%29%20PDC%20Case%2076194.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Tax Amazon PAC complaint return letter (Andersom complaint) PDC Case 76194.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3692/Tax%20Amazon%20PAC%20complaint%20return%20letter%20%28Andersom%20complaint%29%20PDC%20Case%2076194.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]11/24/2020 10:09:02 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

Facilities of a public office or agency include, but are not limited to, use of stationery, postage, machines, and equipment, use of employees of the office or agency during working hours, vehicles, office space, publications of the office or agency, and clientele lists of persons served by the office or agency.</li><li>Ms. Pfeil is an incumbent council member for the City of Kenmore. She filed a Candidate Registration (C-1) on September 2, 2019, selecting the Full Reporting option. She most recently filed a C-1 on October 20, 2022, amended on June 20, 2023, choosing the Full Reporting option, for her re-election campaign that started October 20, 2022. Ms. Pfeil filed a candidate declaration on May 15, 2023.</li><li>The Complainant, Mr. Baker, and Ms. Pfeil serve on the City of Kenmore council together. Mr. Baker asked Ms. Pfeil to attend a meeting of the Sound Cities Association (SCA) Policy Issues Committee (PIC) for which Mr. Baker is the primary representative for the Kenmore Council and Ms. Pfeil is the alternate. The SCA PIC meeting is a hybrid meeting and Ms. Pfeil agreed to attend, in Mr. Baker’s absence, via Zoom on April 12, 2023.</li><li>Ms. Pfeil has confirmed her attendance at the SCA PIC meeting and indicated that “I went to City Hall. I set up the city-issued laptop device assigned to me; then logged into the city Wi-Fi and attended the SCA PIC meeting.” The SCA PIC meeting minutes also confirmed Ms. Pfeil’s attendance at the meeting. As well, the city’s IT Consultant, through the Public Records Officer, confirmed the city owned laptop assigned to Ms. Pfeil was logged into the City Wi-Fi using Ms. Pfeil’s credentials and was connected to a Zoom meeting between the time of 6:47PM and 8:13 PM which was within the meeting time of the SCA PIC meeting.</li><li>Mr. Baker supplied photographic evidence of Ms. Pfeil, attending a Zoom meeting, while in a meeting room in City Hall, also on April 12, 2023, at 7:23PM. This meeting was for the First Legislative District Democrats Election Committee.</li><li>Ms. Pfeil has confirmed that she also attended the First Legislative District Democrats Election Committee meeting at the same time as the SCA PIC meeting. She says that “I logged onto my personal laptop, then connected to the public wi-fi. I then listened to the meeting taking place at the same time virtually.” The PDC Compliance Officer inquired of the City of Kenmore IT Consultant about Ms. Pfeil’s personal equipment being logged into the public Wi-Fi, and it was explained they do not have access to Ms. Pfeil’s personal laptop. They “do not have a way to identify her personal equipment, any accounts she might use or any of her activities on the public wifi.”</li><li>Via an affidavit, provided by Ms. Pfeil, Roger T. Burton attested to Ms. Pfeil’s attendance at the First Legislative District Democrats Election Committee meeting and that she used her personal email address to access the Zoom meeting. The affidavit showed the agenda of the meeting as:</li></ul><p> The PDC Compliance Officer also interviewed Mr. Burton on June 5, 2023, and he confirmed that Ms. Pfeil was “just listening” to the First Legislative District Democrats Election Committee meeting. Mr. Burton says that Ms. Pfeil identified herself during the meeting and voted on how to “move forward with moving candidate interviews along” but otherwise did not have a participatory role in the meeting. Ms. Pfeil has said she did not recall speaking, or otherwise communicating, at the meeting and that “it was a discussion mainly by the leads and some volunteer committee members.”</p><ul><li>As a Council Member Ms. Pfeil receives a salary from the City of Kenmore and is uncompensated for her volunteer work with the First District Democrats Endorsement Committee.</li><li>Ms. Pfeil has said that “I did take the measure to best fulfill my public duty while separating my council duty from my personal private life, and at no time was I campaigning in Kenmore City Hall on April 12th, 2023.”</li><li>The Respondent does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has decided that, in this instance, Corina Pfeil’s use of facilities of a public office or agency for the purpose of assisting a campaign for election of any person to any office does not appear to be a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Corina Pfeil will receive a formal written warning concerning her use of facilities of a public office or agency for the purpose of assisting a campaign for election of any person to any office.

556211286509/15/202209/15/202210/20/2022Glen MorganNew Direction PACNew Direction PAC: Alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.305 for failure to accurately report Electioneering Communications on Independent Expenditures reports (C-6 reports). (EY '22; Sept '22)RCW 29B.30.020/42.17A.305Resolved with Technical CorrectionPolitical Committee - Other<p>A complaint was filed alleging that New Direction PAC, a continuing political committee registered with the PDC during calendar year 2022, may have violated RCW 42.17A.305 by failing to accurately report Electioneering Communications on Independent Expenditures reports (C-6 reports).</p><p>On October 24, 2019, New Direction PAC filed a Committee Registration as a Continuing Political Committee, selecting the Full Reporting Option, and listing Kurt Fritts as the Committee Manager/Director, and Mr. Petterson as Ministerial Treasurer. </p><p> Specifically, the complaint alleged that New Direction PAC (Committee) failed to accurately identify that one of the candidates supported by the electioneering communications disclosed on the C-6 reports, incorrectly listed that Sharon Shewmake was a 2022 candidate for the House of Representatives in the 42nd Legislative District, instead of a candidate for State Senator in the 42nd Legislative District. </p><p>Staff reviewed the C-6 reports filed by the Committee and found that while the Committee timely filed the initial C-6 reports, the reports inadvertently listed Sharon Shewmake as a 2022 candidate for the House of Representatives in the 42nd Legislative District, rather than a candidate for State Senator in the district. </p><p>Mr. Petterson stated in his October 10, 2022, emailed response that New Direction PAC “looked into this and, yes, some of our C6's were filed with the incorrect Sharon Shewmake record”, specifically the office being sought. He stated that the Committee filed amended C-6 reports on October 6, 2022, and added Sharon Shewmake shows up twice in the dropdown menu on the PDC’s C-6 filing application system.</p><p>Mr. Petterson stated that “one is for her current house seat and the other is for the senate campaign. There's no office/position listed on the name in the dropdown so it's confusing when filing the C6 reports. If there's any way to update that at some point to add position, I think it would be very helpful.”</p><p>On October 5, 2022, the Committee filed seven amended C-6 reports Rep No #11495, #11496, #11497, #11498, #11499, #11500, and #11501, disclosing the same vendors, dates, and dollar amounts for the Electioneering Communications on Box #3 as listed on the initial C-6 reports filed by the New Direction PAC. Four of the amended C-6 reports filed by New Direction PAC, were filed to address the four initial C-6 reports listed as exhibits to the complaint, Rep No #’s 11379, #11390, #11426, and #11441 that incorrectly disclosed that Sharon Shewmake was a 2022 candidate for House of Representatives in the 42nd Legislative District. </p><p>The four amended C-6 reports correctly disclosed that Sharon Shewmake was a 2022 candidate for State Senator in the 42nd Legislative District and seeking the office as a Democrat. . </p><p>PDC staff has determined that, in this instance, the Committee’s failure to correctly list the office being sought by Sharon Shewmake, State Senator instead of State Representative does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. </p><p>New Direction PAC promptly and timely filed the requested amended C-6 reports listed above disclosing the required information as soon as the deficiency concerning the office being sought by Representative Shewmake were brought to its attention. The initial C-6 reports filed by the New Direction PAC checked box #3 on the report for electioneering communications, were timely filed and substantially complied with the electioneering communications reporting requirements. </p><p>New Direction PAC made ministerial errors on the required C-6 reports, which had no impact or a minimal impact on the public interest and was mitigated by the fact that the Committee listed the candidate and the amount of the independent expenditure, but the wrong office being sought. While the report incorrectly listed the office being sought by Sharon Shewmake as State Representative (for which she is the incumbent) rather than State Senator, the electioneering communication information distributed by New Direction PAC for her correctly listed the office being sought. </p><p>Upon notification of the errors, New Direction PAC timely amended the pertinent C-6 reports, making the necessary technical corrections as requested by staff. Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter as a technical correction in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1128650.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "112865 New Direction PAC Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5562/112865%20New%20Direction%20PAC%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "112865 New Direction PAC Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "New Direction PAC Response to Complaint (Morgan) PDC Case 112865.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5562/New%20Direction%20PAC%20Response%20to%20Complaint%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20Case%20112865.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "New Directions PAC Complaint Return Ltr (Morgan) PDC Case 112865.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5562/New%20Directions%20PAC%20Complaint%20Return%20Ltr%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20Case%20112865.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Technical correction"}]10/20/2022 02:38:46 PMPDC staff resolved case after correction of minor or ministerial error.

The complaint alleged that Jani Hitchen, a candidate for Pierce County Council, Position 6 in the 2020 election, may have violated RCW 42.17A.555 for misuse of public facilities to support her own election campaign.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Jani Hitchen (the “Respondent”); and PDC Interpretation 01-03, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that Ms. Hitchen taking campaign related photos of herself and her classroom and then posting them on her campaign Facebook page, were done intentionally but with a mind towards compliance with state laws, rules and PDC Interpretation 01-03. Ms. Hitchen responded timely to the complaint and removed the posts in the interest of full compliance. Staff found that any minor misuse of public facilities by Ms. Hitchen was done because of a general misunderstanding and not a disregard for the statutory restrictions. However, it is staff’s opinion that the public areas contemplated by PDC Interpretation 01-03 are those typically used or rented by community members or organizations within the school district boundaries, and that individual classrooms would not normally be available for non-school related activities.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, the taking and posting of two campaign related photos does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>PDC staff reminded Jani Hitchen about the importance of reviewing the applicability of RCW 42.17A.555 and PDC Interpretation 01-03<i>Guidelines for School Districts in Election Campaigns,</i> to ensure any future campaign related activities fully comply with PDC statutes and rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/788030.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "78803 Hitchen Jani Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3747/78803%20Hitchen%20Jani%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "78803 Hitchen Jani Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3747/78803%20Hitchen%20Jani%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "78803 HItchen Jani Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3747/78803%20HItchen%20Jani%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]12/21/2020 08:22:16 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The C-4 report disclosed ORP made two $100 expenditures on July 21, 2020, with the descriptions “LOAN REPAYMENT” and “Repay Loan” and the Loan document Schedule L, Part 2 listed one $100 loan repayment made to Mr. Petit with $0 still owed. However, Schedule L, Part 4 listed a $100 loan as the loan amount still owed to Mr. Petit.</p><p>Mr. Petit stated he made only one $100 loan, and that he received only one $100 loan repayment from ORP (check #1003). stated that he inadvertently made a duplicate entry for the loan repayment into the Online Reporting of Campaign Activity (ORCA) program, and there was no second $100 loan or loan repayment. </p><p>On December 3, 2020, Mr. Petit filed an amended 7-Day Pre-Primary Election C-4 report, deleting the second $100 loan repayment expenditure that he had inadvertently entered into the ORCA program for ORP.</p><p>For the 2020 election cycle, Our Region PAC disclosed receiving $10,100 in total monetary contributions, $9,633.90 in total expenditures made, with a cash on hand balance of $466.10. The $100 loan repayment that was inadvertently duplicated by Mr. Petit was not a material amount compared to the overall total committee activity, and the public was not denied of any campaign finance information since the loan repayment was actually listed twice. </p><p>Based on this information, PDC staff found no evidence that would constitute a material violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any enforcement action in this instance. The PDC has dismissed this complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/775890.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Our Region PAC (3) Response (Hyer) PDC Case 77589.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3729/Our%20Region%20PAC%20%283%29%20Response%20%28Hyer%29%20PDC%20Case%2077589.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "77589 Our Region PAC Complaint (3).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3729/77589%20Our%20Region%20PAC%20Complaint%20%283%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Our Region PAC (3) Complaint return letter (Hyer) PDC Cases 77589.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3729/Our%20Region%20PAC%20%283%29%20Complaint%20return%20letter%20%28Hyer%29%20PDC%20Cases%2077589.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]04/08/2021 10:25:46 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

(EY '19) (Jul '19)RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - LocalCandidate C1<p>The PDC received a complaint alleging that Jackson Drayton (the “Respondent”) may have violated RCW 42.17A.205 by failing to timely register as a candidate for election year 2019 within two weeks of declaring candidacy and report his campaign’s Treasurer and banking institution (depository).</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; and the Respondent’s reporting history to determine whether they support a finding of one or more violations. Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>The Respondent is a first-time candidate who declared as a candidate with Elections on May 14, 2019 and was therefore required to file a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) with the PDC within two weeks, or no later than May 28, 2019. The Respondent filed a C-1 report, identifying the Treasurer and banking information, with the PDC on August 20, 2019, which is 84 days late. </p><p>In his response to the complaint, the Respondent indicated he was not aware of the C-1 reporting requirement and had mistakenly believed that the F-1 report satisfied reporting requirements for candidates..</p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to timely register as a candidate does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. However, the PDC issued the Respondent a formal written Warning, including PDC staff's expectation that the Respondent will timely file C-1 reports in future years. The Commission may consider the formal written Warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.

The joint mailer included Mr. Martinez’s name and the Campaign PO Box in the return address area of the joint mailer. </p><p>The joint mailer did not meet the political advertisement requirements by including the required sponsor identification (sponsor ID) for both candidates. The sponsor ID requirements for a joint candidate mailer require that the words "Paid for" or "Sponsored by" followed by each candidate’s name and mailing address be included; that the sponsor ID for each candidate appear on the first page of the mailer; and that the sponsor ID is printed in at least ten-point type and set apart from any other printed content. <br><br>Mr. Martinez stated that after speaking with PDC staff, he became aware of the sponsor ID requirements on all political advertising and acknowledged that he made an honest mistake concerning the joint mailing. PDC staff explained to him that while the joint mailer sent out on October 20, 2021, included his name and address on the back of the postcard, it did not appear “on the front nor did it have who sponsored the mailer.” <br><br>Mr. Martinez stated that as a candidate under the Mini Reportion option, he “welcomed the opportunity to get some information out at minimal cost, so he and Mr. Sharp decided to send out a dual mailer.” He stated both candidates agreed to pay for half of the costs for the joint mailer, and that each candidate would pay their portion of the costs directly to Renton Printery. He attached a copy of the invoice from Renton Printery indicating 2,900 joint or dual mailers were printed and mailed out costing a total of $3,238.04, and that his portion of the mailing costs was $1,619.02. He noted that the Renton Printery invoice indicated the portion of the joint mailer costs that were paid by his Campaign and added that Mr. Sharp was billed separately for his portion of the joint mailer costs. </p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined, in this instance, the allegations concerning the failure to include the required sponsor ID for both candidates on the joint political advertisement, does not amount to a violation warranting investigation or any further enforcement action. Since both candidates co-sponsored the political advertisement, the joint mailer required a dual sponsorship that included the sponsor ID from both Mr. Sharp and Mr. Martinez. <br><br>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Dennis Martinez will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to include the required sponsor identification on political advertising co-sponsored by his Campaign along with another candidate. The formal written warning includes staff’s expectation that Dennis Martinez will in the future, include the complete sponsor identification on all future political advertisements as required by law, including joint candidate mailers. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on future Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. <br><br>Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1000650.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Martinez, Dennis Complainant Return Letter (Carterl) PDC Case 100065.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5020/Martinez%2C%20Dennis%20Complainant%20Return%20Letter%20%28Carterl%29%20PDC%20Case%20100065.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "100065 Martinez Dennis Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5020/100065%20Martinez%20Dennis%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Email Responses from Dennis Martinez.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5020/Email%20Responses%20from%20Dennis%20Martinez.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]03/12/2024 02:33:32 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaint alleged that the Officials of the Port Angeles School District (PASD), a public school district located in the City of Port Angeles and servicing nine public schools, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.555 for failure to provide opportunities for opposing viewpoints during discussion of a local ballot measure; and (2) RCW 42.17A.565 for adverse employment action related to a public employee's contribution activity.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes and rules; the response provided by Director of Human Resources, Scott Harker, on behalf of PASD (the “Respondent”); and PDC Interpretation 01-03, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Regarding the first allegation, staff found no evidence that PASD’s school board curtailed the complainant’s December 12, 2019 public comments and found that the verbal interruptions appeared to be meant to remind the speaker of the board’s written policy regarding public comments on a specific subject rather than to allow a question and answer period.</p><p>Regarding the second allegation, staff did not find that the complainant’s video project was meant to be a political contribution to PASD’s levy committee and found no evidence that PASD’s staff acted in a discriminatory manner towards the complainant regarding the absence of the levy video(s) in violation of RCW 42.17A.565(2)(c).</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, no evidence supports a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/773200.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "77320 Port Angeles School District Officials Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3723/77320%20Port%20Angeles%20School%20District%20Officials%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "77320 Port Angeles School District Officials Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3723/77320%20Port%20Angeles%20School%20District%20Officials%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "77320 Port Angeles School District Officials Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3723/77320%20Port%20Angeles%20School%20District%20Officials%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "CC.mp3", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3723/CC.mp3", "description" : "77320 Port Angeles School District Officials Response Attachment - CC.mp3", "document_type" : ""}]12/11/2020 08:30:16 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

Between the years 2018 to 2020, and 2020 to 2022 Ms. Smith’s campaigns had surplus funds and transferred those funds from year to year per RCW 42.17A.430.<ul><li>A second complaint against the Respondent, filed in September 2023, about issues related to campaign reporting for 2018, 2020 and 2022 will be addressed under case #141807.</li><li>Prior to this case review, and related to this complaint, between the 2020 and 2022 campaigns, a required C4 showing the carry forward of surplus funds was unreported. On August 29, 2023, the Respondent filed C4 #110168824 reporting $10,332.29 paid on May 15, 2022, from the 2020 to the 2022 campaign. This report was fourteen months late.</li><li>C3 reports identifying who the contributors from the 2020 campaign to the 2022 campaigns are not required because the transfer was between two campaigns for the same office.</li></ul></li><li>Jamie Smith is currently a candidate in the 2023 election year and is running for a different office than attempted in her past campaigns. Per PDC Interpretation No. 23.01, the transfer of funds between the 2022 campaign and the 2023 campaign is subject to RCW 42.17A.490.<ul><li>Prior to this case review, the campaign had failed to file required C4 and C3 reports accurately showing the transfer of funds from the 2022 campaign to the 2023 campaign, and they had also failed to get permission from the contributors to transfer the funds between the two campaigns for different office.<ul><li>In the 2022 reporting, C4 #110168194 filed on August 25, 2023, showed a transfer of $600 from the 2022 campaign to the 2023 campaign, paid on May 18, 2023. This report was two months late.</li></ul></li></ul></li><li>In the 2022 reporting, C4 #110168195 filed on August 25, 2023, showed a transfer of $1,530 from the 2022 campaign to the 2023 campaign, paid on June 5, 2023. This report was one month late.</li><li>In the 2023 reporting, C3 #110164537 filed August 7, 2023, for period 5/18/23-5/18/23, amended by C3 #110168823 filed August 29, 2023, reported the $600 transfer from 2022 campaign to the 2023 campaign and corresponds to C4 #110168194. This report was two months late. In this instance the campaign transferred funds before they had permission from the contributor to transfer between the two campaigns for different office. The campaign has since received permission from the contributors and provided the PDC with copies of those permissions.</li><li>In the 2023 reporting, C4 #110150194 filed on June 5, 2023, for period 5/18/23-5/31/23 incorrectly showed carry forward from the earlier campaign of $11,900. The amended C4 #110168155 filed on August 24, 2023, shows no carryforward but rather cash received of $600 as reported in C4 #110168823 for the 2022 campaign transfer. The C4 also shows an in-kind expenditure by the candidate for filing fees paid on May 18, 2023, and website domain costs paid on May 31, 2023, that were previously unreported. This unreported information was two months late.</li><li>In the 2023 reporting, C3 #110163925 filed on August 4, 2023, for period 6/5/23-6/5/23, amended by C3 #110169004 filed on August 30, 2023, shows $1,530 received, as reported in C4 #110168195 for the 2022 campaign transfer. This report was two months late. In this instance the campaign transferred funds before they had permission from the contributor to transfer between the two campaigns for different office. The campaign has since received permission from the contributor and provided the PDC with copies of the permission.</li><li>In the 2023 reporting, C4 #110157600 filed July 10, 2023, for period 6/1/20-7/10/23, incorrectly showed 2022 carryforward but C4 #110168154 filed August 24, 2023, fixed the carryforward issue.</li><li>The Respondent does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements. </li></ul><p>The campaign Treasurer stated that a lack of experience, and not an attempt to be dishonest, is the cause of the errors and late reporting. The campaign incorrectly assumed the remaining balance of the 2022 campaign account was theirs to access and proceeded to get permission from the 25th Legislative District (LD), as the largest contributor in total across the multiple campaigns, to transfer $11,900 of the remaining funds from the 2022 to the 2023 campaign. The LD approved the transfer of funds and the campaign provided proof of that approval; unfortunately, this transfer did not follow PDC guidance of first-in, first-out accounting which requires the contributions received latest in the year for 2022, and then those in 2020 if necessary, to be used and those contributors were the entities the campaign actually needed permission from in order to use the previously contributed funds in the 2023 campaign. The campaign has worked effectively with PDC staff to better understand what is and is not allowed regarding the transfer of surplus funds and the Treasurer has been diligent in working with PDC filer assistance staff to correct reports across multiple campaigns. It is also worth noting the current Treasurer is working to correct reporting for prior campaigns that she was not the original Treasurer.</p><p>Based on our case review staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), showing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the 2023 Campaign and transfer of funds between the 2022 Campaign and the 2023 Campaign, does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Jamie Smith will receive a formal written warning concerning RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), showing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the 2023 Campaign and failure to accurately transfer funds between the 2022 Campaign and the 2023 Campaign per RCW 42.17A.490. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Jamie Smith provide better oversight of campaign staff, specifically supervision of the campaign Treasurer, and moving forward accurate and timely reporting of contributions and expenditures in the ORCA system will occur. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1390130.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "139013 Smith_Jamie Response(3).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5956/139013%20Smith_Jamie%20Response%283%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "139013 Smith Jamie Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5956/139013%20Smith%20Jamie%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "139013 Smith Jamie Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "139013 Smith_Jamie Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5956/139013%20Smith_Jamie%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "139013 Smith_Jamie Initial Hearing Results Letters (Smith).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5956/139013%20Smith_Jamie%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20Letters%20%28Smith%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "139013 Smith_Jamie Response (revised).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5956/139013%20Smith_Jamie%20Response%20%28revised%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "139013 Smith_Jamie Response (2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5956/139013%20Smith_Jamie%20Response%20%282%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]10/06/2023 03:49:52 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaint alleged that the Green Party of Washington State, a minor party committee registered with the PDC during calendar years 2019, 2022 & 2023, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 for failure to timely file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports).</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and supporting documentation; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Treasurer Lisa Canar, on behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that although the Green Party of Washington State did submit campaign reports late ranging from calendar year 2019, 2022 and 2023, many of the expenses were for party building activities, utilities and overhead.

(EY '19; Dec '21)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningPolitical Committee - Democratic Bona Fide<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed on December 30, 2021. The complaint alleged that the King County Democratic Central Committee, a county bona fide political party committee, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.240 for failure to accurately identify a Limited Liability Company (LLC) as an in-kind contributor on Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure report (C-4 report) for January 2019; (2) RCW 42.17A.235 for failure to timely file the C-4 report for January 2019; and (3) RCW 42.17A.235 for failure to timely amend C-4 reports for January 2019 through April 2019 within 21 days.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and supporting documentation; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Deputy Treasurer, Jason Bennett, on behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the alleged late reporting of amended C-4 reports for January 2019 to April 2019 were done to ensure contribution and expenditure totals were accurate and up to date. Four of the five amended reports were made more than two months prior to the August 6, 2019 primary election and accounted for 3.5% of the total contributions and 5% of the total expenditures disclosed for calendar year. Further, it appears that the alleged incorrect disclosure of the two January 2019 in-kind contributions was due to the Respondent’s desire for more transparency given the relationship of the donor to her business and to the Respondent. Staff found no evidence that the errors were intentional or done to confuse or mislead the public.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely file four amended C-4 reports for January 2019 to April 2019 and failure to identify the accurate source of two in-kind contributions on the January 2019 C-4 report, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, King County Democratic Central Committee will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely disclosure the accurate source of in-kind contributions and failure to file timely amendments to C-4 reports within 21 days. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that KCDCC timely files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures including amendments when necessary. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1021840.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "102184 King Co Democratic Central Committee Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5084/102184%20King%20Co%20Democratic%20Central%20Committee%20Warning%20-%20%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "102184 King Co Democratic Central Committee Warning - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5084/102184%20King%20Co%20Democratic%20Central%20Committee%20Warning%20-%20%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "102184 King County Democratic Central Committee Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5084/102184%20King%20County%20Democratic%20Central%20Committee%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "102184 King County Democratic Central Committee Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5084/102184%20King%20County%20Democratic%20Central%20Committee%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]03/28/2022 09:05:01 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

560711388211/03/202211/02/202212/12/2022Chad HarperShukri OlowOlow, Shukri: Alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.335 for political advertising that makes a false claim stating or implying the support or endorsement of any person or organization (NOV22 EY22)RCW 29B.30.070/42.17A.335Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - Legislative<p>The complaint alleged that Shukri Olow, a candidate for state representative, may have violated RCW 42.17A.335 by sponsoring political advertising that makes a false claim stating or implying the support or endorsement of any person or organization. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegation and evidence; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by you, your witnesses, and the Respondent; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>On March 28, 2022, Shukri Olow registered with the PDC as a candidate for State Representative Position 2 of Legislative District 47. </li><li>The evidence provided with the complaint was of a political advertisement (aka flier) that included a seal-like graphic with the words “The only candidate in the race endorsed by Planned Parenthood.” You also provided a screenshot of an email between Catherine Williams and representatives of Planned Parenthood indicating the organization had not endorsed Shukri Olow in her campaign for state representative.</li><li>On November 10, 2022, I confirmed with Catherine Williams that she had emailed representatives of Planned Parenthood and that she specifically had received a response from Courtney Normand, Washington State Director for Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates - Washington (PPAAW). Ms. Williams provided me a copy of the email in which Ms. Normand stated Ms. Olow had received an endorsement from PPAAW during her 2021 campaign for King County Council but that PPAAW had not endorsed any of the candidates in the 47th Legislative District house race for 2022.</li><li>Ms. Normand, of PPAAW, confirmed the Olow campaign had submitted an endorsement questionnaire on June 1, 2022, seeking a 2022 endorsement of Planned Parenthood. On September 13, 2022, PPAAW staff notified the Olow campaign, via email to the campaign manager, of their decision to not endorse her candidacy. </li><li>On November 28, 2022, Ms. Olow explained that “Planned Parenthood endorsed my campaign for King County Council last year. There was an error in adding them to the mailer. The information staff used to create it was from the endorsement list from last year.” “There was a tracker that kept updates on organizational endorsements. Planned Parenthood must have been selected as a yes with the assumption that they endorsed last year and would probably this year. I take ownership of this mistake.” Ms. Olow also indicated her campaign manager’s contract ended after the primary and it was their email addressed listed on the 2022 PPAAW endorsement questionnaire. Ms. Olow also confirmed the flier was printed the last week of October and mailed the first week of November. </li><li>Because Ms. Olow’s campaign manager was no longer employed by her after the primary election and it was their email address that PPAAW would have communicated with the campaign, the Olow campaign did not receive the September 13, 2022, notification from PPAAW that the endorsement request had been declined and therefore did not know to make changes to the flier prior to it being printed in October or mailed in November of 2022.</li><li>Upon review of the Olow campaign website, PDC staff determined the endorsement was not listed as of November 4, 2022.</li><li>Per RCW 42.17A.335, it is a violation to sponsor with actual malice a political ad that contains a statement constituting libel or defamation per se if the statement:<ul><li>directly or indirectly implies a candidate has the support or endorsement of any person or organization when the candidate does not,</li><li>is a false statement of material fact about a candidate, or</li><li>falsely represents that a candidate is an incumbent.</li></ul></li><li>Actual malice is defined by RCW 42.17A.005(1) as “to act with knowledge of falsity or with reckless disregard as to truth or falsity.”</li><li>Libel or defamation per se for the purposes of that section means “statements that tend (a) to expose a living person to hatred, contempt, ridicule, or obloquy, or to deprive him or her of the benefit of public confidence or social intercourse, or to injure him or her in his or her business or occupation, or (b) to injure any person, corporation, or association in her, his, or its business or occupation.”</li><li>On December 8, 2022, Ms. Normand, of PPAAW, confirmed that her organization had not been subject to harm amounting to libel or defamation as defined in RCW 42.17A.335(2).</li></ul><p>Based on our findings, staff has determined that, Ms. Olow’s campaign did erroneously claim an endorsement by Planned Parenthood but in this instance, we found no evidence of knowledge of falsity or reckless disregard by Ms. Olow nor did we find evidence that Planned Parenthood was subject to harm amounting to libel or defamation as a result. </p><p>However, PDC staff is reminding Shukri Olow that endorsements are a public declaration of support of a candidate for elected office. Generally, the seeking of and granting of an endorsement will follow a defined process. PDC staff has previously reminded Ms. Olow about the importance of confirming an endorsement before making a claim of such support. In the future we expect that she will not directly or indirectly imply an endorsement by any person or organization if that endorsement has not been given in accordance with campaign practices, PDC laws and rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1138820.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "113882 Olow Shukri Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5607/113882%20Olow%20Shukri%20Response.pdf", "description" : "113882 Olow Shukri Response", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113882 Olow Shukri Complaint Return (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5607/113882%20Olow%20Shukri%20Complaint%20Return%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "113882 Olow Shukri Complaint Return", "document_type" : "Reminder"}, {"file_name" : "113882 Olow Shukri Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5607/113882%20Olow%20Shukri%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "113882 Olow Shukri Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]12/14/2022 10:55:21 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The complaint alleged that Washington State Republican Party (WA GOP), a bona fide state party committee, may have violated RCW 42.17A.320 and WAC 390-18-030 for failure to disclose sponsor identification on political advertising distributed by WA GOP via text message.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Executive Director, Kaitlin Vintertun on behalf of WA GOP (the “Respondent”); and written PDC guidance regarding sponsor identification alternatives for advertisements delivered via text message, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Based on the response submitted by Exec. Director Vintertun, it appears that the intent of the text message was to encourage voting, specifically voting for republican backed candidates and agenda items, as part of a “get out the vote” (GOTV) effort and that the sponsor of the message was likely easy to discern by the recipient with the name “WA GOP” included.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, no evidence supports a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/788600.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "78860 Wa St Republican Party Complaint Return.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3752/78860%20Wa%20St%20Republican%20Party%20Complaint%20Return.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "78860 Washington State Republican Party (4) Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3752/78860%20Washington%20State%20Republican%20Party%20%284%29%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "78860 WA St Repub Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3752/78860%20WA%20St%20Repub%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "78860 WA State Repub Attachment.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3752/78860%20WA%20State%20Repub%20Attachment.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]01/15/2021 05:16:31 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

Ms. Martin again filed a C-1 on March 1, 2021, for both the City of Seattle mayoral and city council races for election year 2021. She was registered under the Full Reporting option. Ms. Martin also filed a C-1 on May 23, 2022, for election year 2022 as a candidate for the 36th Legislative District Senate race, registered under the Full Reporting option. Jeanne Legault was the treasurer for these four races.</li><li>Per RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, under the Full Reporting Option, the Committee was required to disclose contribution and expenditure information by submitting Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports and Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports to the PDC. The Committee’s due dates for the C-3 and C-4 reports are determined by its activity and participation in the election cycle.</li><li>In your evidence was noted late reports from 2018. Those reports were not considered in the case review and the alleged violations are beyond the statute of limitations. Per RCW 42.17A.770, action must be started within five years after the date when the alleged violation occurred.</li><li>In your evidence, many amendments were cited as having been reported late. Amendments are insufficient evidence of late reporting. There are many reasons a committee might amend their reports, and the mere presence of an amendment is not itself conclusive evidence of a violation. When considering C-3 and C-4s, these report amendments require inspection of the actual report to determine whether the committee has a requirement to report activity by a given date. As well, deciding if a report is late is not as simple as calculating the days late based on a periodic reporting timeline and when a report was filed but is fact specific to the campaign and its activities. In this instance, the evidence provided was insufficient to support the allegations of late or inaccurate reporting for the identified amended reports for years 2019 and 2021. </li><li>Of the non-amended reports due in 2019, 2021, and 2022, outlined in the evidence provided, there were five Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports and one Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) report that showed a level of late-reported activity that would have deprived the public of critical information.</li><li>In the 2019 primary, there were four C-3 reports filed significantly late after the 2019 primary for a total of $13,656 in contributions. A review of the reports showed individual contributions reported correctly.</li><li>In the 2019 primary reporting, C-4 #4855468 disclosed $13,981 in expenditures incurred prior to the primary for yard signs and stakes, Vote Night Out cards, Seattle Times inserts, El Toro insert & advertising, voter contact, doorbelling, and fieldwork. These expenditures were reported significantly late in January 2020. </li><li>In the 2021 campaign for city council, C-3 report #4961030 showed a transfer of surplus funds from the candidate’s prior mayoral campaign to the city council campaign for $1,210.53. PDC staff questioned the Respondent about this transfer, and she indicated it was made with approval of the donors.</li><li>WAC 390-16-037 states, whenever an expenditure is made to a candidate or a political committee pursuant an agreement or understanding of any kind regarding how the recipient will use the expenditure, the report must describe in detail that agreement or understanding and the goods and/or services to be provided. See the <a href="https://apps.leg.wa.gov/wac/default.aspx?cite=390-16-037">WAC</a> for examples of what the reporting should identify.</li><li>Specific to expenditures reported in 2019 on C-4 #485546, PDC staff at the time would have encouraged more complete disclosure of the purpose in the description field but the PDC’s ORCA (Online Reporting of Campaign Activity) software lacked lengthy text entry capabilities that are now available in the current version. For this reason, we have not required the Respondent to revise their reporting in this instance. For future reporting, the expectation will be that the Respondent provided more detail in the description for expenditures.</li><li>In her response, through treasurer Jeanne Legault, the Respondent relayed: “Following the election, the SEEC asked me to help her re-file reports, because there were some filing errors etc. and she was unable to balance to zero. … In this case, the object was to close out the account in as timely a fashion as possible. … There was no attempt whatsoever on the candidate’s part to conceal anything!”</li><li>RCW 42.17A.445 stipulates specific instances when contributions received and reported in accordance with RCW 42.17A.220 through .240 and .425 may be used for individual personal use. Those instances include reimbursement to cover lost earnings incurred resulting from campaigning or services performed for the political committee; reimbursement for direct out-of-pocket election campaign and postelection campaign related expenses made by the individual; and repayment of loans made by the individual to political committees.</li><li>In your evidence, you cite C-4 #100951504, C-4 #10095150, and C-4 #100934814 as evidence the Respondent misused campaign resources for personal use. Upon review of the reported information and further questioning of the Respondent by PDC staff, the following was found:<ul><li>In this instance, the subscription to the Economist was an expenditure directly related to the election campaign. The Respondent explained the subscription was used to inform her understanding of politics and policy.</li><li>For future reporting, the expectation will be that the Respondent explicitly show in their reporting where the subscription is delivered to, for what period the subscription is received, and how the subscription was used for campaign purposes.</li><li>In this instance, the meeting with “Dick” was further clarified by the Respondent as having been with Dick Faulkenbury.</li><li>For future reporting, the expectation will be that the Respondent provide more and clearer details about who meetings are with, where the meeting occurred, and for what purpose.</li></ul></li><li>The Respondent does not have other similar warnings or violations.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, Kathleen Martin’s failure to timely, thoroughly, and accurately disclose contributions and expenditures on reports in election years 2019 and 2021 does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Kathleen Martin will receive a formal written warning concerning their failure to timely and accurately disclose contribution and expenditure information, including detailed purpose of expenditures, in election years 2019 and 2021. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Kathleen Martin timely, accurately, and thoroughly file all required reports of contributions and expenditures in future years. Regarding the alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.445, misuse of campaign funds for personal use in election year 2019, the PDC has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1) and WAC 390-37-060(1)(a) and will not conduct a more formal investigation into these allegations or take further enforcement action in this matter. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1416510.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141651 Martin_Kathleen Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6124/141651%20Martin_Kathleen%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "141651 Martin_Kathleen Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6124/141651%20Martin_Kathleen%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141651 Martin_Kathleen Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6124/141651%20Martin_Kathleen%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]11/20/2023 10:37:45 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(EY '19; Oct '19)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with ReminderPolitical Committee - Single Election<p>A complaint was filed against the Common Purpose PAC, a single-year local political committee registered with the PDC to support 2019 candidates seeking office in the City of Sea-Tac, alleging that Common Purpose PAC may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to file Monetary Contributions reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contributions and Expenditures reports (C-4 reports) disclosing contribution and expenditure details, including orders place for activities undertaken by the Committee.</p><p>The Response stated that Common Purpose PAC has been registered with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) as a “federal hybrid PAC …organized and operated out of Seattle, Washington,” and “unlike other federal PAC’s engaging in state or local election activity in Washington, the Committee does not qualify as an “out-of-state committee” </p><p>Since Common Purpose PAC (Committee) registered as a committee within 21 days of the November 5, 2019 general election, the reporting requirements included filing a 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report due on October 28, 2019 covering the period October 14 through 28, 2019, and a Post-General Election C-4 report on December 10, 2019. In addition, Common Purpose PAC was required to file weekly C-3 reports for the 2019 general election from October 23 through November 4, 2019. </p><p>On October 28, 2019, the Committee timely filed the 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report disclosing no contribution or expenditure activities had been undertaken, including no orders placed. On November 4, 2019, the Committee timely filed a C-3 report disclosing that a $3,811.51 contribution had been received from Common Purpose PAC on November 1, 2019 and deposited on the same day. </p><p>On November 5, 2019, the Committee also timely filed a C-5 report disclosing that it is a federal PAC domiciled in Washington State submitting the first report in 2019, and that the PAC has “not been registered to work in any state election before now.” The C-5 report disclosed that on November 1, 2019 the PAC made in-kind contributions to four candidates for Sea-Tac City Council of $952.97, totaling $3,811.51 for an expenditure made to Progressive Strategies NW and included Ali Egal, Takele Gobena, Damiana Merryweather, and Senayet Negusse. </p><p>The candidates disclosed receiving a $952.88 in-kind contribution from the Committee on their 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 reports filed on October 28, 2019 for a joint mailer that was mailed on October 29, 2019. In addition , after receiving the complaint, the Committee filed an amended 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report on November 20, 2019, disclosing four orders were placed on October 24, 2019 with Progressive Strategies to print the mailer.</p><p>Staff’s review of the facts found that Common Purpose PAC: (1) was a federal committee registered with the FEC and domiciled in Washington State for all of calendar year 2019; (2) made contributions to local candidates in Washington state for the first time and late in the 2019 election cycle, and fully cooperated with PDC staff; (3) based on the Commissions rule, was a first-time committee that was required to register and report with PDC based solely on being domiciled in Washington State; (4) the federal committee file a voluntary C-5 report five days early; and (5) the candidates that received in-kind contributions for the mailer timely disclosed that activity on the C-4 reports. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff has determined in this instance, the late filed reports do not warrant further investigation. PDC staff has reminded Common Purpose PAC to timely and accurately register and report as an in-state committee, including filing C-3 and C-4 reports disclosing contribution, expenditure and orders placed, should it undertake activities involving candidates or ballot propositions in Washington State in the future as required for a political committee. The PDC has dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/597770.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Common Purpose PAC Complaint Return with Reminder Cover Ltr (Morgan) PDC Case 59777.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3377/Common%20Purpose%20PAC%20Complaint%20Return%20with%20Reminder%20Cover%20Ltr%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20Case%2059777.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Common Purpose PAC response (Morgan) PDC Case 59777.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3377/Common%20Purpose%20PAC%20response%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20Case%2059777.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "59777 Common Purpose PAC Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3377/59777%20Common%20Purpose%20PAC%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]01/03/2020 10:58:59 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>Terry Wayne filed a Candidate Registration declaring their candidacy for School Director in the Medical Lake School District 326, selecting the Full Reporting Option.</li><li>For the 2023 election cycle, the 21-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report was required to be filed no later than October 17, 2023, the 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 was required to be filed no later than October 31, 2023, and the Post General Election C-4 was required to be filed no later than December 11, 2023. </li><li>The Respondent filed expenditure reports for those periods, but the reports were submitted late.</li><li>The reports disclosed minimal contribution and expenditure activity that fell below the $7,000 limit for a candidate choosing the Mini Reporting Option on their candidate registration. Mini reporting, had it been selected, would have relieved the candidate of filing expenditure reports.</li></ul><p>In accordance with WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), PDC staff issued a formal written warning to Terry Wayne concerning the requirement to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure (C-4) reports. In the future, should they declare candidacy again, staff expects Terry Wayne to file timely and accurately as required. The Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws and rules. </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1), and WAC 390-37-060(1)(a). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1512720.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Initial-hearing-results-respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6638/Initial-hearing-results-respondent.pdf", "description" : "151272 Initial hearing results to respondent", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "151272 Wayne_Terry Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6638/151272%20Wayne_Terry%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "151272 Terry Wayne Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6638/151272%20Terry%20Wayne%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]06/18/2025 10:49:08 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Only two candidates filed to run for city council member, position 2 in the City of Lacey in 2023, so there was no primary election and Mr. Zeman’s name did not appear on the 2023 primary ballot. As such, Mr. Zeman was limited to one $1,000 contribution limit from any one source during the 2023 election year, which should have been attributed to the general only since there was no primary election in 2023. </p><p>Based on this determination, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), staff issued a formal written warning to Mr. Zeman for accepting an overlimit contributions in violation of RCW 42.17A.405.

There is not much information to report, she only recently began Juno Collaborative and has taken on small clients.”</li><li>On August 6, 2021, Mr. Dillon was listed as a Co-Director on the registration for the 509 Forward PAC. Upon becoming a candidate for the Spokane City Council race, Mr. Dillon gave up his position with the PAC and has subsequently been removed from the PAC registration record. Mr. Morgan alleges that Mr. Dillon had an obligation to report on his candidate F-1 the officer position he held with the 509 Forward PAC. The PDC’s understanding and historical enforcement of RCW 42.17A.710(8) does not support Mr. Morgan’s allegation. The code language states, “corporation, partnership, joint venture, association, union, or other entity” and does not specifically identify political committee as an entity for which candidates or officials must report their relationship on an F-1. The parallel structure of the language in the series is important to understanding who must report within the context and purpose of this requirement. A political committee is not analogous to any of the entities listed in the series, therefore it does not fit into the “other entity” category either. Based on this analysis, the PDC has determined an officer of a political committee is not disclosable on the F-1. But a political committee must be registered with the PDC and through that registration, officer information is available to the public to review on the PDC website.</li></ul><p>While staff found Mr. Dillon’s F-1 report included deficiencies, he fully cooperated with PDC staff during its review and took responsibility for the deficiencies by amending the F-1 report to include reportable information. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff has determined that in this instance, the failure to include all reportable information on Mr. Dillon’s F-1 Report covering 2022 activity does not amount to a finding of a violation warranting further investigation.</p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Mr. Dillon will receive a formal written warning concerning his failure to timely and accurately disclose reportable information related to assets owned by him and his spouse, real estate owned by his spouse, and business associations of his spouse. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1235330.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "123533 Dillon Paul Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5718/123533%20Dillon%20Paul%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "123533 Dillon Paul Complaint Return (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5718/123533%20Dillon%20Paul%20Complaint%20Return%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "123533 Dillon Paul Complaint Return Letter", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "123533 Dillon Paul Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5718/123533%20Dillon%20Paul%20Response.pdf", "description" : "123533 Dillon Paul Response", "document_type" : ""}]09/15/2023 10:56:40 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Specifically, the complaints alleged that the “factsheet” or “informational flyer” that was produced and distributed by the cities of Olympia and Tumwater violated RCW 42.17A.555 by using the facilities of the two respective cities to support Proposition No. 1 on the April 25, 2023 special election ballot, which if approved would have created the Olympia-Tumwater RFA. </p><p><strong>RCW 42.17A.555</strong> states, in part: “No elective official nor any employee of his or her office nor any person appointed to or employed by any public office or agency may use or authorize the use of any of the facilities of a public office or agency, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of assisting a campaign for election of any person to any office or for the promotion of or opposition to any ballot proposition.”</p><p><strong>WAC 390-05-271</strong> states that RCW 42.17A.555 “does not prevent a public office or agency, including the City of Olympia, from making an objective and fair presentation of facts relevant to a ballot proposition, if such action is part of the normal and regular conduct of the office or agency.”</p><p><strong>PDC Interpretation No. 04-02</strong> states that public agencies may expend public funds to produce information about the maintenance and operations of the agency and how a ballot proposition would affect those operations provided that the information is a fair and objective presentation of the facts. The interpretation states that “it is not only the right, but the responsibility of local government to inform the general public of the operational and maintenance issues facing local agencies.” The interpretation states local governments may expend public funds, including for the preparation and distribution of factual information about a ballot proposition, provided that the information is not distributed for the purpose of influencing the outcome of an election. </p><p>PDC staff found the following:</p><p>Jeffrey Myers, an attorney with Law, Lyman, Daniel, Kamerrer, & Bogdanovich, P. S, and legal counsel for the cities of Olympia and TumwaterMr. Myers stated in his initial response on behalf of his clients that during calendar year 2021, the cities of Olympia and Tumwater entered an interlocal agreement establishing a planning committee that would lay the groundwork for the formation of a Regional Fire Authority (RFA) as provided in RCW 52.26. He referenced RCW 52.26.060 several times and added that the statute requires that an RFA plan “must be provided by the planning committee to the governing bodies of each fire protection jurisdiction to certify the plan to be submitted to the ballot.” </p><p>On November 14, 2022, at the Olympia-Tumwater RFA Planning Committee meeting, representatives of both cities on the Committee moved and seconded the motion made by Olympia City Councilmember Jim Cooper “to recommend the formation of the Olympia Tumwater RFA” and to approve the plan for “its operation, governance, and financing including a reasonable fire benefit charge for consideration and legislative action by the Olympia and Tumwater City Councils on December 6, 2022.” </p><p>The motion was approved unanimously by the RFA Planning Committee, whose members from the City of Olympia included Cheryl Selby, Mayor; City Councilmembers Jim Cooper and Lisa Parshley; Todd Carson, Fire Chief; and representing IAFF Local 486, Steven Busz, Olympia Firefighter. The RFA Planning Committee members for the City of Tumwater included City Councilmembers Eileen Swarthout, Leatta Dahlhoff, and Michael Althauser; Brian Hurley, Fire Chief; and representing IAFF 2409, Lt. James Osberg, Fire Union Representative and Paramedic. </p><p>On December 6, 2022, the cities of Olympia and Tumwater, at open public meetings, both adopted resolutions to place an RFA ballot measure on the April 25, 2023 ballot, in which the City of Olympia adopted Resolution M-2400, and the City of Tumwater adopted Resolution R2022-014.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the joint RFA “factsheet” or mailer that was distributed by the cities of Olympia and Tumwater, and found that overall, the content was largely an objective and fair presentation of the facts. However, staff did note there were several phrases that were included in the “factsheet.” For future fire and public safety election related information, you should ensure the content is neutral or benign. Those phrases or sentences included: “Fire and emergency medical services are among the most critical services provided to the community”; "Demand for service is outstripping the resources of the cities' fire departments and is putting pressure on our ability to continue to provide quality fire and emergency services.”</p><p>In addition, the information included stated the RFA “will preserve and enhance service levels” but did not provide additional information about how that would happen; and that “firefighters are affected by PTSD injuries” and added the RFA “would support expanded mental health resources for firefighters” but did not indicate how that would improve the current mental health services being provided to firefighters and EMT’s.</p><p>Staff noted that the “factsheet” included several photographs of firefighters and EMT’s, and that a couple of the photographs were of firefighters in response mode. Mr. Myers stated the cities “used stock photographs and pictures of firefighters and fire apparatus” but did not identify any of the personnel as City of Olympia or Tumwater firefighters or EMT’s. </p><p>Mr. Myers stated that, contrary to the allegations in the complaint, the photographs selected by the cities to be “included in the mailer accurately showed photos of firefighters” engaging in normal activities. He added that those “images are important to depict the activities of fire departments and convey to the public that Fire Departments do more than fight fires, and that an important, if not dominant part of their responsibilities is responding to health-related calls.” </p><p>In addition, the “factsheet” listed what the costs of the proposed RFA might be, based on “four funding sources” that included: (1) a property tax levy of up to $1.00/$1,000 of assessed value; (2) an annual Fire Benefit Charge; (3) a share of the countywide EMS levy revenues; and (4) the funds received for contract revenue, fees for services, and grants. </p><p>Mr. Myers stated that the decision to send the RFA informational mailer/factsheet was made by Jay Burney, Olympia City Manager in March of 2023, and that the mailer/factsheet was designed by City of Olympia staff. He stated that Mr. Burney as Olympia City Manager was “responsible for final approval of the content” of the mailer/factsheet, and that it was sent for review to several individuals. He stated that the mailer/factsheet content was provided from: (1) Q&A information on the RFA webpage; (2) materials taken from the cities of Olympia and Tumwater staff presentations concerning the RFA; and (3) other information compiled by the RFA Planning Committee during their meetings. </p><p>Mr. Myers stated that the “factsheet/mailer was for “informational purposes only”; was not intended “to support or oppose Proposition 1”; contained “an express statement to that effect in the mailer”; and used stock photographs and pictures of firefighters and fire apparatus but did not identify the personnel as City of Olympia or City of Tumwater firefighters. He stated the same “factsheet/mailer was sent out by a vendor to all boxholders in the cities of Olympia and Tumwater”, that the total cost to print and mail the “factsheet/mailer” was $23,102.85, that included postage and mailing costs ($13,184.75), and the costs to print ($9,918.10). </p><p>Mr. Myers stated that the costs were evenly apportioned between Olympia and Tumwater based on populations, with two-thirds of the mailing costs paid by the City of Olympia, and one-third paid by the City of Tumwater, “based on the approximate number of boxholders in each jurisdiction.”</p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of further violations that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any enforcement action in this instance. </p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), PDC staff is issuing a formal written warning to the cities of Olympia and Tumwater and their officials concerning the prohibition against the use of city facilities and resources to support or oppose candidates and ballot propositions. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws/rules. </p><p>Concerning the remaining allegations listed in the complaint from Mr. Shirley, PDC staff found no evidence that either the officials from the cities of Olympia and Tumwater used city resources or facilities to support Proposition No. 1 on the April 25, 2023 special election ballot in violation of RCW 42.17A.555.</p><p>The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1243920.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "City of Olympia-Tumwater Regional Fire Authority (Shirley Complaint).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5782/City%20of%20Olympia-Tumwater%20Regional%20Fire%20Authority%20%28Shirley%20Complaint%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "City of Olympia-Tumwater Regional Fire Authority (Shirley Complaint Attachment 3 - workbook).xlsx", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5782/City%20of%20Olympia-Tumwater%20Regional%20Fire%20Authority%20%28Shirley%20Complaint%20Attachment%203%20-%20workbook%29.xlsx", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Olympia-Tumwater RFA Resolution ltr.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5782/Olympia-Tumwater%20RFA%20Resolution%20ltr.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "Olympia Tumwater RFA May 16, 2023 Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5782/Olympia%20Tumwater%20RFA%20May%2016%2C%202023%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "City of Olympia-Tumwater Regional Fire Authority (Shirley Complaint Attachment 2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5782/City%20of%20Olympia-Tumwater%20Regional%20Fire%20Authority%20%28Shirley%20Complaint%20Attachment%202%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Walt Jorgensen complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5782/Walt%20Jorgensen%20complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "City of Olympia-Tumwater Regional Fire Authority (Shirley Complaint Attachment 1).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5782/City%20of%20Olympia-Tumwater%20Regional%20Fire%20Authority%20%28Shirley%20Complaint%20Attachment%201%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Olympia Tumwater RFA Initial Response with exhibits.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5782/Olympia%20Tumwater%20RFA%20Initial%20Response%20with%20exhibits.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "City of Olympia-Tumwater Regional Fire Authority (West Complaint).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5782/City%20of%20Olympia-Tumwater%20Regional%20Fire%20Authority%20%28West%20Complaint%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]06/21/2023 05:27:26 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The independent expenditure mailer stated “VOTE “NO” on 2020-14” but did not provide any additional contributor name or address information as required for this type of mailer, or any of the required other information concerning the sponsor. </p><p>On October 15, 2020, PDC staff contacted Lithtex, a printing business located in Bellingham, Washington, after reviewing the Resident Samish mailer the US Postal Service Bulk Mail Permit #114, and seeking the business name that was issued the bulk permit number in order to determine the name of the sponsor. The email from PDC staff stated that Lithtex was a commercial advertiser and based on the bulk mail permit issued to Lithtex by the US Postal Service, the PDC was requesting Lithtex provide information about the sponsor of the Resident Samish independent expenditure advertisement in accordance with RCW 42.17A.345.</p><p>On October 19, 2020, Lithtex sent an email concerning the PDC inquiry and attached an invoice dated October 7, 2020, that indicated Robert Gray placed the order and paid for the Resident Samish independent expenditure mailer on that date. The invoice indicated that Lithtex printed 32,000 postcards and mailed them out on behalf of Mr. Gray with a total cost of $8,104.25</p><p>On October 26, 2020, after contacting Mr. Gray by telephone at the number provided to PDC staff by Lithtex, staff sent Mr. Gray an email informing him about the complaints that were filed concerning the independent expenditure mailer, and making him aware of the C-6 reporting requirement. </p><p>On November 1, 2020 Robert Gray filed a C-6 report and listing the sponsor’s name as “Resident Samish” and disclosing that a $7,887.35 expenditure was made to Lithtex on October 7, 2020. The expenditure was for an independent expenditure mailer presented to the public on October 14, 2020 and made in opposition to City of Bellingham Proposition 2020-14, a local transportation ballot measure on the November 3, 2020 general election ballot. The C-6 report was filed 17 days late, and two days before the November 3, 2020 general election</p><p>Mr. Gray stated he decided to use his own personal funds to make the independent expenditure mailer in opposition to the ballot proposition, since he felt it would cause existing traffic lanes in the area to be reduced and closed in what he referred to as “road diets” if the ballot measure was ultimately approved. He stated he did not solicit or receive any contributions in order to make the independent expenditure, and that Resident Samish was not a political committee. He stated Resident Samish was a fictitious name that he made up and selected on his own, and he felt it was a catchy phrase.</p><p>On January 14, 2021, Mr. Gray completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) acknowledging: (1) One violation of RCW 42.17A.255 for failing to timely file a C-6 report disclosing the independent expenditure mailing in opposition to 2020-14; and (2) One violation of RCW 42.17A.320 by sponsoring independent expenditure advertising using a made up or fictitious name during the 2020 election cycle. He paid a $650 civil penalty in accordance with the Penalty Schedule adopted by the Commission for Brief Enforcement Hearings set forth in WAC 390-37-143, with $500 of the penalty being assessed for the violation of RCW 42.17A.320 and a $150 penalty assessed for the violation of RCW 42.17A.255. </p><p>Based on the findings, and the fact Mr. Gray competed an SOU acknowledging two violations of RCW 42.17A and paid a $650 civil penalty, staff has determined that in this instance, no further investigation is warranted, or any additional enforcement action shall be taken. The PDC has dismissed the three complaints filed against Mr. Gray/Resident Sammish in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1) and WAC 390-37-070. </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/78954650.000.000.00650.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Robert Gray Responses to complaint and PDC questions (PDC Case 78954).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3755/Robert%20Gray%20Responses%20to%20complaint%20and%20PDC%20questions%20%28PDC%20Case%2078954%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "78954 Gray Robert Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3755/78954%20Gray%20Robert%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "SoU - Robert Gray - PDC Case 78594.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3755/SoU%20-%20Robert%20Gray%20-%20PDC%20Case%2078594.pdf", "description" : "SoU - Robert Gray - PDC Case 78594", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "Robert Gray (Resident Samish) Complaint Return Letter with SOU (PDC Case 78594).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3755/Robert%20Gray%20%28Resident%20Samish%29%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20with%20SOU%20%28PDC%20Case%2078594%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}][{"who" : "Robert Gray", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2021-01-30", "amount" : 650.00, "description" : "Statement of Understanding", "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2021-01-14", "amount" : 650.00, "description" : "PAID - SOU"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]04/08/2021 10:29:45 AMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>Dee Thompson filed a Candidate Registration declaring their candidacy for School Director in the Sultan School District 311, selecting the Full Reporting Option.</li><li>For the 2023 election cycle, the 21-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report was required to be filed no later than October 17, 2023, the 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 was required to be filed no later than October 31, 2023, and the Post General Election C-4 was required to be filed no later than December 11, 2023. </li><li>The Respondent filed expenditure reports for those periods, but the reports were submitted late.</li><li>The reports disclosed minimal contribution and expenditure activity that fell below the $7,000 limit for a candidate choosing the Mini Reporting Option on their candidate registration. Mini reporting, had it been selected, would have relieved the candidate of filing expenditure reports.</li></ul><p>In accordance with WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), PDC staff issued a formal written warning to Dee Thompson concerning the requirement to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure (C-4) reports. In the future, should they declare candidacy again, staff expects Dee Thompson to file timely and accurately as required.

But in fact, that is exactly what the transaction at issue was. Indeed, Mr. Beatty clarified in an email dated 10-30-2020 that this was a permissible surplus transfer. The email indicated only requested change HROC needed to make was to report it as a miscellaneous receipt rather than a contribution. The initial C3 was filed on October 29th Report 101012825 and was then amended per the PDC’s email in Report 101014403.” </p><p>• RCW 42.17A.430(3) allows the transfer of surplus funds of a candidate or a candidate’s authorized committee without limit to a political party or a caucus political committee. </p><p>• Staff noted that on or about October 30, 2020, the Committee contacted PDC customer service staff regarding this transfer and were advised to amend the October 29, 2020 Monetary Contribution (C-3) report to depict the $15,000 transfer from Carolyn Eslick’s surplus account as a miscellaneous receipt. The amended report depicting the $15,000 transfer as a miscellaneous receipt from Carolyn Eslick’s surplus account was received by the PDC on November 6, 2020. Staff further noted that a transfer coming from a candidate’s surplus account is not considered a contribution when it is transferred to a caucus political party, and as such did not violate the prohibition against accepting an over limit contribution during the 21-day period preceding the November 3, 2020 general election.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/796370.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "79637 House Replublican Organizational Committee Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3771/79637%20House%20Replublican%20Organizational%20Committee%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "79637 House Republican Organizational Committee RESPONSE.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3771/79637%20House%20Republican%20Organizational%20Committee%20RESPONSE.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "79637 House Republican Organizational Committee Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3771/79637%20House%20Republican%20Organizational%20Committee%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]10/29/2024 04:23:10 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The complaint alleged that Timothy Eyman, a gubernatorial candidate in the August 4, 2020, primary, may have violated RCW 42.17A.445 for misuse of campaign funds to support a recall effort.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the responses provided by the Respondent and by Stephen Pidgeon on behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and reviewed PDC Case Number 74923 and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that any costs connected to the July 23, 2020, Recall Durkan event were negligible and were limited to a pro-rated portion of the funds spent to create and maintain the Tim4Gov website plus the out-of-pocket expenditure made by the Respondent for printing recall petitions.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, de minimis use of the 2020 Tim4Gov campaign website to support a recall effort does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Timothy Eyman will receive a formal written warning concerning the misuse of 2020 gubernatorial campaign resources to support the effort to Recall Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan.

The complaints have been resolved through a Statement of Understanding and dismissal, as described below.</p><p>23rd Legislative District Republican Committee (Committee) completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) in accordance with WAC 390-37-142. In the SOU, the Committee: (1) acknowledged a violation of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to file timely and accurate campaign reports (C-3 and C-4 reports); (2) acknowledged a violation of RCW 42.17A.220 by failing to deposit monetary contributions within five business days of receipt; (3) acknowledged a violation of RCW 42.17A.235 & WAC 390-16-043 by failing to maintain current “books of account” for the purpose of providing them during the public inspection period prior to the November 3, 2020 general election; (4) expressed an understanding that the Commission will not hold an adjudicative hearing in connection with the violations; and (3) paid a $750 civil penalty. <br><br>The $750 penalty resolves these allegations. Staff believes this is the appropriate resolution considering all the facts and circumstances, including that the Committee has implemented several measures to ensure future compliance with PDC laws and rules, including training for Committee officers, independent audits, general accounting oversight procedures and the employment of an individual knowledgeable with PDC laws, rules and filing requirements, to fill the treasury position full-time. <br><br>Staff’s investigation found no evidence that April Ferguson, Chair of 23rd Legislative District Republican Committee, violated RCW 42.17A.445 by misusing the funds received by or otherwise belonging to the Committee for her own personal financial gain.

The complaint alleged that Reachout Washington, a continuing political committee, may have violated RCW 42.17.320 by failing to include sponsor identification on a political advertisement supporting or opposing a candidate.</p><p>After review of the complaint and the reports filed by Reachout Washington, PDC Staff alleges a violation of RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Mr. Bruce Ayers on behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the missing sponsor identification on the newspaper advertisement appearing in the South Whidbey Record was a result of miscommunication between Reachout Washington and Sound Publishing and not done to purposely conceal the sponsor’s name from the public. Further, it appears that the late reporting was due to the limited experience of the former Ministerial Treasurer and a misunderstanding of reporting requirements.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to include sponsor identification on one written political advertisement and failure to timely file a small number of C-3 and C-4 reports during calendar year 2022, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Reachout Washington will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to include the required sponsor identification on written political advertisement and failure to timely disclose contribution and expenditures. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Reachout Washington reviews all political advertisement to ensure it includes sponsor identification prior to being made available to the public and timely files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1134680.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "113468 Reachout Washington Warning Letter - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5589/113468%20Reachout%20Washington%20Warning%20Letter%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "113468 Reachout Washington Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5589/113468%20Reachout%20Washington%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113468 Reachout Washington Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5589/113468%20Reachout%20Washington%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]03/12/2024 03:20:45 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

MISS made a number of expenditures for political advertisements in the form of independent expenditures, and/or electioneering communications during 2019.</p><p>On November 4, 2019, MISS filed four C-6 reports one day before the November 5, 2019 general election indicating that the expenditures were for Independent Expenditures of $100 or more, Independent Expenditure Advertisements of more than $1,000 undertaken within 21 days of an election, and Electioneering Communications. The C-6 reports disclosed the following expenditures made by MISS:</p><ul><li>A $1,433 expenditure was made to FedEx on October 3, 2019, to print a letter and envelopes for an electioneering communication advertisement that was presented to the public on October 11, 2019 and supported or opposed ten 2019 candidates for Mercer Island City Council. MISS was required to file a C-6 report within 24 hours of the advertisements being presented to the public, or no later than October 12, 2020. The expenditure information was disclosed 23 days late on a C-6 report. </li><li>A $5,201,90 expenditure was made to FedEx on October 21, 2019, to print a half page mailer for an independent expenditure advertisement of more than $1,000 that was presented to the public on October 25, 2019. The advertisement was in support of Daniel Jacobsen and in opposition to Deborah Bertlin, two candidates for Mercer Island City Council, and MISS was required to file a C-6 report no later than October 26, 2020. The expenditure information was disclosed nine days late on a C-6 report. </li><li>Four $949 expenditures totaling $3,796 were made to Sound Publishing by MISS for four full page independent expenditure newspaper advertisements that appeared in the Mercer Island Reporter, all in support of five 2019 candidates for Mercer Island City Council. The C-6 report disclosed: (1) a $949 expenditure made on October 3, 2019, and presented to the public on 10/9; (2) two $949 expenditures were made on October 15, 2019, for advertisements presented to the public on 10/16 and 10/23; and (3) one expenditure made on October 23, 2019, for an advertisement presented to the public on October 26, 2019. MISS disclosed the four independent expenditure newspaper advertisements on C-6 reports that were filed between nine and 19 days late <br> </li></ul><p>On October 15, 2019, MISS timely filed the 21-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report disclosing $3,448 in total expenditures. The MISS expenditures included a $1,433 expenditure made to FedEx on October 3, 2019, and listing the description as “Mailer, letter and envelopes”, and a $949 expenditure made to Sound Publishing on October 3, 2019, and listing the description as “10/9 Full Page Color Ad.” <br><br>On October 29, 2019, MISS timely filed the 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report disclosing a $20,197.24 in total expenditures, minus a $4,385 refund for one of the expenditures. The expenditures included: (1) a $5,201.90 expenditure made to FedEx on October 21, 2019, for a half page mailer; (2) a $4,241 expenditure made to FedEx on October 23, 2019, for a quarter page mailer; (3) a $2,815 expenditure made to FedEx on October 28, 2019, for a half page mailer; and (4) three $949 expenditures made to Sound Publishing, including two expenditures on October 15, 2019, and one expenditure on October 24, 2019, and listing the descriptions as “10/16, 10/23 and 10/30 Full Page Ads.” </p><p>The expenditure descriptions for the mailers and newspaper advertisements disclosed on both the 21-Day and 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 reports failed to identify the expenditures were for an independent expenditure or electioneering communication advertisement. In addition, both C-4 reports failed to identify any of the Mercer Island City Council candidates supported or opposed by the advertisements, the date of the mailer, or the number of mail pieces printed and mailed. </p><p>On January 7, 2021, on behalf of MISS Mr. Cero filed four amended C-4 reports that included the 21-Day and 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 reports, identifying the Mercer Island City Council candidates supported or opposed by the advertisements, and the number of mail pieces printed and mailed. </p><p>On February 23, 2021, Mr. Cero completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) on behalf of MISS acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.240, 260 and .305 and paying a $600 civil penalty in accordance with the Penalty Schedule adopted by the Commission for Brief Enforcement Hearings set forth in WAC 390-37-143, to resolve this matter.</p><p>Based on these findings, staff has determined that in this instance, no further investigation is warranted, or any additional enforcement action shall be taken.

Mr. Murphy was a first-time candidate for public office in 2022. </p><p>Mr. Murphy stated that he placed one newspaper advertisement in the Lewis County News (LCN) during the 2022 election cycle, which he believed ran on October 12, 2022, costing a total of $255. He stated that his “campaign was initially contacted by “Gina”, who identified herself as an employee of Lewis County News and asked if I would be interested in the price list for advertising.” He stated that his spouse “called Gina back and they discussed advertising. Additionally, Gina asked if the campaign would be willing to participate in an interview, which my wife told her “Yes””. </p><p>Mr. Murphy stated that he was contacted later by LCN reporter Lynette Hoffman, who asked him if he was interested in being interviewed by her for the paper. He stated that he “had a few different interviews with Ms. Hoffman over the course of a few weeks, both in person and over the phone.”</p><p>Mr. Murphy stated that his Sheriff Campaign was contacted by an LCN representative back in May or June initially about advertising in the paper. He stated that he was “not sure of the exact date for the interview, but I believe it was near the end of September.” He stated that it was his “understanding that Ms. Hoffman was providing articles for her readers to learn about the candidates running in Lewis County. I was given an opportunity to participate in that process, so I did.”</p><p>Mr. Murphy stated that Ms. Hoffman indicated to him during the interview “that she wanted the articles to sound like we were talking to the readers; therefore, she had me phrase my answers as though I were speaking to an audience.”</p><p>Mr. Murphy stated that the information that ran on pages 3 and 5 of the October 19, 2022, edition of the LCN, “was not paid advertising by the Murphy campaign. The only paid advertising was the ad ran on October 12, 2022. As to what the LCN calls the article, you would have to ask them. Tracy Murphy and The Murphy Campaign has no control over what is written in the newspaper.” He added that he had “no control over what the LCN prints, or who they endorse as candidates.” </p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any enforcement action in this instance. </p><p>PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1142260.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Murphy, Tracy Emailed Response to Rohr Complaint (PDC Case 114226).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5619/Murphy%2C%20Tracy%20Emailed%20Response%20to%20Rohr%20Complaint%20%28PDC%20Case%20114226%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "114226 Murphy Tracy Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5619/114226%20Murphy%20Tracy%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Murphy, Tracy Complaint Return Letter (PDC Case 114226).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5619/Murphy%2C%20Tracy%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28PDC%20Case%20114226%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}]01/24/2023 10:27:28 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

Dr. Larsen provided evidence that the checked mark box has been used in prior levy election materials posted to the Facebook page as well as in “posts reminding people to vote during election cycles that we do not have a bond or levy on the ballot.” </li><li>Staff also reviewed current content of posts related to the November levy and the materials are a fair objective presentation of the facts concerning why the levy is needed. </li></ul><p>In that it is the normal and regular conduct of a school district to prepare and distribute information to the public, “to explain the instructional program, operation and maintenance of the schools of the district” the posting of these materials to the school district’s Facebook page is an allowable action per WAC 390-05-271 and .273.

A committee with multiple sponsors may include all – but must include at least one – sponsor’s name in the committee’s name. A political committee shall include a known sponsor in its name when registering. The committee must amend its registration 60 days before an election in which it participates if the sponsor has changed.”</p><p>On April 6, 2021, the PDC received a completed Statement of Understanding (SOU) from Mr. Iglitzin transmitted on behalf of his client, Unite Here Local 8, acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A..205, and .240, and paying a $300 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143, the Penalty Schedule adopted by the Commission to resolve this matter.

The C-3 report disclosed that the $4,000 in monetary contributions were designated with $1,000 for the 2020 primary election and $1,000 for the 2020 general election for both individuals listed on the contribution check. The C-3 report disclosed the $4,000 in monetary contributions received were deposited into the campaign bank account on August 6, 2020. </p><p>Representative Kirby stated that he received a $4,000 monetary contribution check from two individuals , a married couple from Puyallup, on Tuesday, August 4, 2020, the day of the 2020 primary election. </p><p>On May 5, 2021, the Steve Kirby Campaign filed an Amended C-3 report disclosing the date of receipt of the $4,000 in monetary contributions from the couple as being August 4, 2020, with $1,000 designated for the 2020 primary election and $1,000 for the 2020 general election for both. </p><p>RCW 42.17A.405(2) states in part “Contributions to candidates subject to the limits in this section made with respect to a primary may not be made after the date of the primary.” The statute only requires the contributor to have made a contribution to a candidate by the date of the primary election, in order for that contribution to be designated for the primary election. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff has determined that in this instance, the Campaign did not exceed contribution limits and the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/898040.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Kirby, Steve Response to Complaint (Hall) PDC Case 89804.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4015/Kirby%2C%20Steve%20Response%20to%20Complaint%20%28Hall%29%20PDC%20Case%2089804.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Kirby, Steve Complaint Return Letter (Hall) PDC Case 89804.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4015/Kirby%2C%20Steve%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28Hall%29%20PDC%20Case%2089804.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "89804 Kirby Steve Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4015/89804%20Kirby%20Steve%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]05/17/2021 04:17:58 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The complaint alleged that Anthony Sandoval, a candidate for Yakima City Council in the 2021 election, may have violated RCW 42.17A.205 for failure to register as a candidate within two weeks of declaring candidacy (e.g. news article, press release) by filing a C-1 report (Candidate Registration) with the PDC.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; and the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that late filing of the C-1 report by Mr. Sandoval was due to a lack of knowledge of PDC filing requirements and not made to withhold information from the public regarding his campaign.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely file the C-1 report for the 2021 election does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Anthony Sandoval will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely file a C-1 report registering his candidacy. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Mr. Sandoval timely files all future required reports. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/891750.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "89175 Sandoval Anthony (Tony) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4007/89175%20Sandoval%20Anthony%20%28Tony%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "89175 Sandoval Anthony Warning Letter - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4007/89175%20Sandoval%20Anthony%20Warning%20Letter%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "89175 Sandoval Anthony Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4007/89175%20Sandoval%20Anthony%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "89175 Sandoval Anthony Warning Letter - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4007/89175%20Sandoval%20Anthony%20Warning%20Letter%20-%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]05/19/2021 07:25:32 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaint alleged that Coalition for a Better Northwest Washington (CBNWA), a political committee registered in 2019 making contributions to Whatcom County Council candidate, Ben Elenbaas, and independent expenditures opposing Whatcom County Executive candidate, Satpal Sidhu, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.220 for failure to deposit monetary contributions within five business days of receipt; (2) RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) disclosing a monetary pledge; and (3) RCW 42.17A.420 for accepting contributions exceeding $5,000 from a single source within twenty-one days of an election.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Dan Brady on behalf of his client CBNWA; the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database], to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>During its review, staff found no evidence showing that the contributions from Phillips 66 and Marathon Petroleum Corp. were deposited late, reported on a C-3 or C-4 report late, or were received during a restricted time period for contributions exceeding $5,000 on the aggregate.

The 21-Day Pre-Primary C-4 report disclosed two expenditures for signage that included: (1) a $3,221.40 expenditure made to Dave’s Campaign and Business on June 30, 2020 and listing the description as “655 Campaign Signs”; and (2) a $123.20 expenditure made to Countryman Signs on June 26, 2020 and listing the description as “66 Campaign Signs.”</p><p>The amended C-4 report filed by the Campaign disclosed the purchase of 655 campaign signs from Dave’s Campaign and Business on June 30, 2020, which consisted of two different yard sign sizes as noted in the response letter stating<i> “To be more transparent, we separated the purchase into 2 categories, one for 18” x 24” signs and the other for 8’ x 4’ signs, on the amended report.” </i></p><p>The response letter added that Mr. Kartak donated 200 wire stakes to the Campaign that were already in his possession prior to the 2020, to use for the yard signs, and the Campaign conducted some online searches to determine the fair market value for the wire stakes. The Campaign disclosed on the amended 21-Day Pre-Primary C-4 report as an estimated in-kind contribution from Mr. Kartak valued at $237.76 and stated that the “<i>wire stakes purchased and donated were cut in half, which doubled the number of signs they could be used on. There are still signs in the campaign’s possession that are not yet staked.”</i></p><p>Based on these facts, and the fact that Mr. Kartak is a candidate under the Full Reporting Option for the first time, staff found that the allegations identified in your complaint and the Campaign’s filing of the amended information would not constitute a material violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any enforcement action in this instance. </p><p>The PDC has reminded the Vote Kartak Campaign about the importance of timely and accurate disclosure of contribution and expenditures activities, including the required expenditure details for political advertisements undertaken by the Campaign and the reporting of in-kind contributions from the candidate and other sources for the remainder of the 2020 election cycle. The PDC has dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p><p> </p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/759070.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Kartak John Response letter (PDC Case 75907).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3689/Kartak%20John%20Response%20letter%20%28PDC%20Case%2075907%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Kartak John Complaint Return Ltr with Reminder Cover Letter (Lippincott) PDC Case 75907.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3689/Kartak%20John%20Complaint%20Return%20Ltr%20with%20Reminder%20Cover%20Letter%20%28Lippincott%29%20PDC%20Case%2075907.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "75907 Kartak John 2 Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3689/75907%20Kartak%20John%202%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]10/19/2020 10:49:47 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

(EY'21; October '21)RCW 29B.45.010/42.17A.555Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsCandidate - Local<p>A complaint was filed against Zachary Zappone, a 2021 candidate seeking the office of Spokane City Council, District 3 Position #2, and a Spokane School District teacher, alleging violations of RCW 42.17A.555 by using the facilities of the Spokane School District to make a video that included footage taken in a classroom and in front of a school that was used as a political advertisement in support of his candidacy. </p><p>RCW 42.17A.555 states that public facilities cannot be used by or authorized to be used, directly or indirectly, by any local elected, appointed official or public employee, to support or oppose any candidate or ballot proposition. <br><br>On January 4, 2021, Zachary Zappone filed a candidate registration with the PDC declaring his candidacy for Spokane City Council, District 3, Position #2 for 2021. selected the Full Reporting Option and listed Andrew Taylor as Ministerial Treasurer. For the 2020 election cycle, Mr. Zappone was a candidate for State Representative in the 6th Legislative District During the 2021 election cycle, Zachary Zappone was a teacher at North Central High School in the Spokane School District. <br><br>Mr. Zappone stated that he contacted PDC staff at the beginning of his 2021 Campaign seeking to clarify what he could do as a public school employee concerning the use of public facilities to support his candidacy, and what the prohibitions were. He stated that he did not violate RCW 42.17A.555 by using Spokane School District facilities for political purposes to support his 2021 candidacy. </p><p>During his contact with PDC staff he stated that he was informed that he was “allowed to be outside on public property to film a commercial” for his Campaign, provided it was not filmed during school hours. <br>Concerning the video footage featuring Mr. Zappone walking with two other students and shot on the sidewalk in front of the high school, he stated he was informed by PDC staff that it would be similar to filming or having a photograph taken “in a public park or on the public right of way.” He added that was “what I did by standing outside on the sidewalk in front of the high school” which he noted was not a use of a Spokane School District facilities. <br><br>Mr. Zappone stated that concerning the allegation of the video footage taken inside a classroom, he stated the footage was not taken in a Spokane School District school or any school district classroom, the classroom scene was filmed at the MLK Center in Spokane. He stated that when he contacted PDC staff, he also raised the issue concerning the use of classroom space to shoot a video, and was told he could not use a Spokane School District classroom unless it was “publicly available” on an equal access basis to the public, similar to that of a library or a community center. <br><br>Mr. Zappone stated that his Campaign “did not sign any agreements or forms” for the room rental at the MLK Center and rented the room for an entire hour but ended up only using the room for 30 minutes to shoot the video. He stated that after reviewing his Campaign books of account, “we could not find an invoice for the time we used the room like we had discussed with the MLK Center…. I have since reached out to them to ask for an invoice per our discussion last year and will be paying it as soon as possible.” <br><br>Mr. Zappone stated that the students featured in his Campaign video “reached out to me through my internship and volunteer page on my campaign website. I did not use class time to recruit students or ask them to be in my videos.” <br><br>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance. PDC staff found no evidence that Zachary Zappone violated RCW 42.17A.555 by using the facilities of the Spokane School District to support his candidacy for Spokane City Council in 2021.

Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>Joe Cortez filed a Candidate Registration declaring their candidacy for School Director in Wenatchee School District 246, selecting the Full Reporting Option.</li><li>For the 2023 election cycle, the 21-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report was required to be filed no later than October 17, 2023, the 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 was required to be filed no later than October 31, 2023, and the Post General Election C-4 was required to be filed no later than December 11, 2023. </li><li>The Respondent filed expenditure reports for those periods, but the reports were submitted late.</li><li>The reports disclosed minimal contribution and expenditure activity that fell below the $7,000 limit for a candidate choosing the Mini Reporting Option on their candidate registration. Mini reporting, had it been selected, would have relieved the candidate of filing expenditure reports.</li></ul><p>In accordance with WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), PDC staff issued a formal written warning to Joe Cortez concerning the requirement to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure (C-4) reports.

Mr. Eck was an incumbent Moses Lake City Councilmember having been elected to that office in 2019. He was not successful in his re-election efforts.</p><p>For the 2023 election cycle, the 21-Day Pre-General Election C-4 report was required to be filed no later than October 17, 2023, the 7-Day Pre-General Election C-4 was required to be filed no later than October 31, 2023, and the Post General Election C-4 was required to be filed no later than December 11, 2023. </p><p>The Respondent filed expenditure reports for those periods, but the reports were submitted late. The reports disclosed no contribution and expenditure activity for the 2023 election cycle, which would have been below the $7,000 limit for a candidate choosing the Mini Reporting Option on their candidate registration. Mini reporting, had it been selected, would have relieved the candidate of filing expenditure reports.</p><p>In accordance with WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), PDC staff issued a formal written warning to David Eck concerning the requirement to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) in the future, should he declare his candidacy again.

(EY '20; Jul '20)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Statewide<p>A complaint was filed against Mike Vaska, a candidate for Washington State Attorney General in 2020. The complaint alleged that the Mike Vaska for AG Campaign (Campaign) violated RCW 42.17A.240 by failing to timely and accurately disclose expenditures or orders placed for political advertisements undertaken by the Campaign for the August 4, 2020 primary election on the 21-Day and 7-Day Pre-Primary Summary Full Campaign Contributions and Expenditures reports (C-4 reports). The expenditures or orders placed included more than $40,000 in expenditures for a television political advertising media buy for “advertisements that started running on July 13 on cable across multiple media market in Washington” and a mailed political advertisement paid for by the Campaign that was received on July 16, 2020. </p><p>Supplemental complaint information alleged the Campaign also violated RCW 42.17A.405 for spending contributions solicited and/or received for the 2020 general election on 2020 primary election activites. </p><p>Dan Brady, legal counsel for the Campaign stated that TV <i>“order contracts with Comcast are booked with a Sunday to Monday run date regardless of the date the advertising is actually ordered, paid, and/or begins.” </i>He stated that while the <i>“Run date”</i> stated July 13, 2020 on the “Order Contract” line of the invoice, the detailed summary of the media buy made <i>“it clear that no advertising ran before July 15, 2020.”</i> </p><p>Mr. Brady stated the Campaign did not place a final order with Comcast until July 14, 2020, reiterated the Campaign’s TV political advertisements did not begin running on Comcast until July 15, 2020, and added the Campaign timely disclosed the expenditure to Comcast for advertising on the 7-day Pre-Primary C-4 report filed on July 28, 2020 as having been made on July 14, 2020.</p><p>Mr. Brady stated that the Campaign expenditure for the mailer was initially disclosed on the 7-day Pre-Primary C-4 report as an expenditure made on July 14, 2020 to Sermo Digital, but noted that after reviewing the allegation the Campaign received updated billing information regarding the mailing indicating an order placed should have been disclosed on a prior C-4 report. He added the postage expense had been timely disclosed.</p><p>The Campaign filed an amended 21-day Pre-Primary C-4 report disclosing a total of $38,130 in outstanding debts and liabilities owed to Sermo Digital that included a $27,000 order placed on July 10, 2020, through Print NW for printing an estimated 164,754 mail pieces. </p><p>On August 17, 2020 the Campaign filed an amended 7-Day Pre-Primary C-4 report disclosing the same monetary contributions received and expenditures made during the period, but added $37,857 in new debts and total liabilities, the majority of which were orders placed with Sermo Digital that included $12,500 for online advertising for the period July 15 through August 4, 2020; $10,000 for online advertising with Pandora for the period July 27 through August 4, 2020; $3,000 for Digital Consulting; and $1,833 for email political advertising.</p><p>Staff reviewed the allegation that the Campaign spent general election contributions on 2020 primary election activites, and found: (1) the Campaign received a total of seven contributions designated for the 2020 general election totaling $10,750; and (2) as of August 31, 2020, the Campaign had $35,067 cash on hand balance that included the $10,750 in general election contributions, verifying the general election contributions received by the Campaign had not been spent. Mr. Vaska stated that the Campaign “always maintained a cash balance exceeding the total balance of sequestered General Election contributions.”</p><p>On October 1, 2020, the Campaign submitted an email stating all of the general election contributions that had been received were refunded, and that the Campaign reattributed one contribution made by joint check between the two spouses.</p><p>Mr. Vaska stated he retained two very experienced consultants for his Campaign and an experienced Campaign Treasurer to file the PDC reports, that he met weekly via Zoom with the team to discuss the Campaign which included PDC filing deadlines, and that PDC reporting requirements were also discussed by email. He stated that due to “COVlD—19, our entire team never had the opportunity to meet in person after the campaign was launched. As a result, the campaign did not have the normal, in-person communications structure that would have provided me with a better opportunity to ensure full and timely disclosure by the campaign team, especially during the rigorous reporting deadlines in the three weeks before the Primary.”</p><p>Staff noted Mr. Vaska was seeking election to a high-profile office, and the typical campaign practices and procedures a Statewide candidate would engage in, including the communication and interactions with consultants, vendors and Campaign Officers and Treasurers were impacted due to Covid-19. The late-disclosed orders placed were for a statewide mailing and digital campaign that was largely conducted remotely. In addition, no evidence was found by staff that the Campaign exceeded contribution limits for the 2020 election or spent 2020 general election contributions on primary election activities.</p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the PDC issued a formal written warning to the Mike Vaska for AG Campaign concerning the failure to timely disclose orders placed with Sermo Digital on both the 21-Day and 7-Day Pre-Primary C-4 reports as required by RCW 42.17A.240. The PDC dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/744730.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Vaska Mike Complaint Return Letter with Warning Cover Letter (Berg) PDC Case 74473.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3666/Vaska%20Mike%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20with%20Warning%20Cover%20Letter%20%28Berg%29%20PDC%20Case%2074473.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "74473 Vaska Mike Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3666/74473%20Vaska%20Mike%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "74473 Vaska Mike Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3666/74473%20Vaska%20Mike%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]10/12/2020 05:04:12 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

PDC staff reviewed the evidence supplied and determined the campaign mailer is political advertisement and that it should have included complete sponsor identification as defined in WAC 390-18-010. </li><li>The campaign reported the political advertisement expenditure, on May 6, 2024, on C-4 #110212854, showing an order placed on April 29, 2024, and payment made also on April 29, 2024. The reporting was timely.</li><li>In the response to the complaint, Greg Cheney wrote that once he realized the mailer did not include the required “paid for by” language, he instructed his campaign staff to contact the PDC for guidance. PDC staff instructed the campaign to disclose the expense at once so the cost of the mailer would be visible to the public. Mr. Cheney said, “there was no intent to mislead the public.”</li><li>The respondent does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to provide complete sponsor identification on a political advertisement does not amount to a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Greg Cheney will receive a formal written warning concerning the requirement under RCW 42.17A.320 to provide complete sponsor identification on political advertising.

(Apr '21)RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsPolitical Committee - Union<p>A complaint was filed against the Washington Federation of State Employees (WFSE), alleging that WFSE violated RCW 42.17A by failing to register and report as a political committee for: (1) Calendar year 2016 based on an Out-of-State Political Committee report (C-5 report) filed by American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Special Account (AFSCME) disclosing a $200,000 contribution made on September 9, 2016, to AFSCME Washington Council 28 (WFSE), and listing the purpose as “Grant to an affiliate”; and (2) Calendar year 2018 based on a $15,000 contribution disclosed by the Retired Public Employees Council of Washington PAC as having been received from WFSE in September of 2018.</p><p>WFSE is a statewide labor organization that is affiliated with American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). WFSE has a Separate Segregated Fund (SSF) that is registered under Section 527 of the Internal Revenue Code, and reports to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) under the name WFSE – SSF. WFSE is also a Lobbyist Employer that has been registered and reporting with the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) since the 1970s.</p><p>Mr. Iglitzin and Ms. Franco-Malone stated allegation concerning the $200,000 grant received in 2016 “is identical in many key respects” to the two prior FF complaints filed against WFSE: PDC Case Number 14266, filed on January 17, 2017; and PDC Case No. 62411, filed on January 2, 2020. After reviewing those complaints, PDC staff determined WFSE was not required to register the SSF as a political committee, because “the SSF is an account established, controlled, and funded by WFSE, such that expenditures from the SSF are the equivalent of expenditures from WFSE’s general fund.” </p><p>Mr. Iglitzin stated, “there is no dispute that WFSE’s SSF is managed, operated, funded and directed entirely by WFSE itself. WFSE’s Executive Director makes all final approvals of monies provided to and spent from the SSF. He stated stated FF has provided no evidence indicating that the $200,000 in question was deposited into WFSE’s SSF. Mr. Iglitzin confirmed that the $200,000 was deposited into WFSE’s member dues account, the primary account used by WFSE to pay for all its representational and operational expenses.</p><p>Mr. Iglitzin and Ms. Franco-Malone stated no evidence was provided of “any connection between the AFSCME money received by WFSE and any political expenditures or contributions subsequently made by WFSE. Thus, the claim that WFSE received this money from AFSCME for electoral political purposes must be rejected as lacking any factual basis.” </p><p>Concerning the allegation of the $15,000 WFSE expenditure to Retired Public Employees Council of Washington, Mr. Iglitzin and Ms. Franco-Malone stated it was part of a $15,000 transfer that was received by “WFSE from AFSCME in late August of 2018.” They stated that the $15,000 in funds received by WFSE, were then “transmitted to the Retired Public Employees Council of Washington (RPEC), a Section 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, which was subsequently deposited into the Retired Public Employee Council of Washington PAC, a Section 527 political organization.</p><p>Mr. Iglitzin and Ms. Franco-Malone stated that the $15,000 was received and disclosed by RPEC PAC as a contribution from WFSE on a Monetary Contributions Report (C-3 report) as being received on September 4, 2018. They stated that “WFSE never intended the $15,000 that it had received from AFSCME to go into RPEC’s PAC.” </p><p>PDC staff requested that WSFE provide a copy of the cancelled check, which Ms. Franco-Malone included as part of her June 18, 2021, email response as an attachment. Staff reviewed the cancelled check which stated WFSE check #102026 was made out to RPEC on August 31, 2018, in the amount of $15,000, and included the address 906 Columbia Street SW, Suite 501, Olympia, WA 98501-1240. Staff’s review confirmed that the check did not include the word “PAC.”</p><p>PDC staff’s review of the 2018 LM-2 Report filed by AFSCME and included as part of the supplemental complaint information provided by FF, found that under Section 16 – Political Activities and Lobbying on page 305 of the Report listed a $15,000 expenditure was made on August 27, 2018, to AFSCME WA Council 28 for “State and Local Political Program Support.”</p><p>Ms. Franco-Malone stated that WFSE “Council 28 and RPEC are both affiliates of AFSCME” and that current RPEC members are former members of WFSE. She stated that when WFSE members retire from Washington State service, the members have the option of joining RPEC, in which they receive WFSE communications that includes information about legislation that may affect members pensions and healthcare. In addition, she stated “WFSE works with RPEC to coordinate retirement planning workshops for WFSE members. WFSE pays RPEC to present at those workshops.”</p><p>PDC staff’s review of the 2016 LM-2 Report filed by AFSCME found that under Section 19 – Union Administration on page 205 of the Report listed a $10,841 expenditure was made on September 21, 2016 to the Retired Public Employees Council of Washington for “Postage.”</p><p>Based on the above information, PDC staff found no evidence warranting an investigation into whether WFSE was acting as a political committee, based on either the $200,000 grant received from AFSCME in 2016, or the $15,000 transfer WFSE made to RPEC in 2018. </p><p>As noted in the disposition letter for PDC Case Number 62411, there was no evidence found or provided that the $200,000 in AFSCME funds received by WFSE in 2016 was deposited into their SSF, but instead the funds were deposited into WFSE's general treasury. The deposit of the $200,000 grant received from AFSCME and deposited into WFSE's general treasury did not make WFSE or WFSE's general treasury account a political committee as a receiver of contributions. Likewise, there is no basis to conclude that one of WFSE’s primary purposes during the calendar year 2018 was to support or oppose candidates or ballot propositions. </p><p>The $15,000 expenditure made from WFSE to RPEC in 2018, was not intended by WFSE to be received and deposited by RPEC into its political committee account.

Ms. LaFave won the election, took office on January 1, 2024, and is presently the Mayor Pro-tem for the City of Longview Council.</li><li>Ms. LaFave filed their candidate Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1), for the period of May 18, 2022, to May 17, 2023, on June 5, 2023. The original candidate F-1 filed by Ms. LaFave did not include complete income information as required by RCW 42.17A.710. On June 20, 2024, following the complaint, the F-1 was amended to include updated income information.</li><li>Per RCW 42.17A.700, an annual F-1 for elected officials was due by April 15, 2024.

Staff expects Ms. LaFave, moving forward, to follow all laws, rules and PDC guidance about the Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1). If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1541470.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "154147 LaFave_Kalei Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6846/154147%20LaFave_Kalei%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "154147 Kalei LaFave Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6846/154147%20Kalei%20LaFave%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "154147 Kalei LaFave Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]06/18/2025 12:43:05 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(EY '19; Nov '19)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>The PDC received a complaint alleging that Bob Thompson (the “Respondent”) may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 by failing to timely & accurately disclose 2019 contributions and expenditures undertaken by the campaign on C-3 & C-4 reports.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and evidence provided; the applicable statutes, rules and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; and the Respondent’s reporting history to determine whether they support a finding of one or more violations. Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>On the Candidate Registration (C-1 report) the Respondent filed with the PDC, he selected the Full Reporting option, obligating the campaign to file periodic C-3 & C-4 reports based on the election cycle. </p><p>Upon being notified of this complaint, the Respondent indicated his erroneous belief that he had selected the Mini-Reporting option on his C-1 report. If selected, the Mini-Reporting option relieves a candidate’s campaign of the need to file C-3 & C-4 reports with the PDC if they raise & spend no more than $5,000 and receive no more than $500 from any one contributor. The Respondent indicated noncompliance was due to the retirement of his long-time legal assistant, who managed election campaign reporting. The new assistant was not fully aware of the reporting requirements for the Respondent’s campaign.</p><p>The Respondent filed a total of six C-4 reports, which were received after the election and 31-122 days late, and were later amended to include additional expenditure and in-kind contribution details.</p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to timely file C-4 reports does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.

(EY '20; Jun '20)RCW 29B.45.010/42.17A.555Case Closed with ReminderPublic Agency - Local<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed on June 19, 2020. The complaint alleged that Everett Public Schools, a public school district in Snohomish County serving the cities of Everett, Bothell and Mill Creek, may have violated RCW 42.17A.555 by misusing the district’s official Facebook page to share a virtual event originating on Representative John Lovick’s 2020 Campaign Facebook page.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes and rules; PDC Interpretation 01-03; the response provided by Sarah S. Mack, General Counsel for Everett Public Schools (the “Respondent”); and the response provided by Representative John Lovick in related PDC Case 72472, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Staff’s review of the Respondent’s written response shows that they have a general understanding of RCW 42.17A.555 and PDC Interpretation 01-03, <i>Guidelines for School Districts in Election Campaigns</i> and acted in a good faith manner they believed to be permissible as well as consistent with similar activities. However, staff noted that the district was aware that the virtual invitation included a web address for Rep. Lovick’s 2020 Re-election Campaign but did not flag this as problematic.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, the act of the Respondent sharing a post from a current legislator’s Facebook page despite the fact that the invitation language included a campaign web address, does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>PDC staff reminded Everett Public Schools about the importance of following the prohibitions described in RCW 42.17A.555 and PDC Interpretation 01-03 closely and to review all future events shared on the district’s official Facebook page with more scrutiny to ensure that they are free of any campaign related language. </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/724670.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "72467 Everett Public Schools Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3580/72467%20Everett%20Public%20Schools%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "72467 Everett Public Schools Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3580/72467%20Everett%20Public%20Schools%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "72467 Everett Public Schools Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3580/72467%20Everett%20Public%20Schools%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/04/2020 08:54:30 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

Staff also found that the Campaign initially neglected to report the PDC filing fee as required by the law/rule, but later amended both C-4 reports and included the required details. </p><p>Staff determined that the noncompliance was a result of a minor error, which the Campaign remedied by filing amended C-4 reports as soon as it received a copy of the complaint. Staff also noted that Ms. Hartsoch is a first-time candidate who does not have any prior violations with the PDC. </p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined that, in this instance, the Campaign's failure to properly and accurately describe an expenditure and report a contribution for registration fee, is a violation that does not warrant further investigation. </p><p>Ms. Hartsoch made a minor or ministerial error(s) on a few expenditures already disclosed on her C-4 reports, which did not materially impact the public interest since the expenditures were timely disclosed on the initial reports, except for the filing fee, which was included after the May 2019 C-4 was amended.

(EY '21; Oct '21)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>The complaint alleged Matthew C. Miller, a 2021 candidate for Anacortes Mayor, violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to timely and accurately report expenditures on Full Summary Contributions and Expenditures (C-4) reports, specifically the timely reporting of a $1,150 expenditure for billboard design and rental.</p><p>In response to the complaint, Miller stated the failure to report the debt on October 12 was “unintentional” stating “We are just a small campaign team, and my wife as Treasurer, we wanted to do everything by the ‘book’ but may have miss-understood exactly when the campaign occurred the ‘debt’ or the precise amount for the billboard.”</p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff has determined that, in this instance, the failure to timely and accurately report expenditures on Full Summary Contributions and Expenditures (C-4) reports, specifically the timely reporting of a $1,150 expenditure for billboard design and rental, does not amount to a violation warranting further investigation.</p><p>However, Miller will receive a formal written warning pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d) concerning the failure to timely report expenditures. The formal written warning includes staff’s expectation Miller will timely and accurately file PDC reports in the future and disclose expenditures as required by law.</p><p>The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on future Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1002120.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "PDC Case 100212 Matthew Miller response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5035/PDC%20Case%20100212%20Matthew%20Miller%20response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "100212 Miller Matthew C Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5035/100212%20Miller%20Matthew%20C%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "PDC Case 100212 Matthew C.

EmersonEmerson, Mark: Alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.205 by failing to timely register as a candidate w/the PDC within two weeks of candidacy and disclose Treasurer, depository. (EY '19) (Jul '19)RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - LocalCandidate C1<p>The PDC received a complaint alleging that Mark Emerson (the “Respondent”) may have violated RCW 42.17A.205 by failing to timely register as a candidate within two weeks of becoming a candidate and disclose the campaign’s Treasurer and banking information (depository).</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; and the Respondent’s reporting history to determine whether they support a finding of one or more violations. Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>The Respondent is a newly appointed incumbent candidate for election who filed with Elections officials on May 13, 2019 and was therefore required to file a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) with the PDC within two weeks, or no later than May 27, 2019. The Respondent filed a C-1 report with the PDC on August 7, 2019 identifying its Treasurer and depository, which was 72 days late. On the C-1 report, the Respondent selected the Mini-reporting Option, whereby a candidate’s campaign is not required to file C-3 & C-4 reports with the PDC if they raise & spend no more than $5,000 and receive no more than $500 from any one contributor. </p><p>The Respondent indicated noncompliance was the result of an oversight, based on the erroneous belief that registering as a candidate with Elections officials and his timely filing of a statement of financial affairs (F-1 report) with the PDC were sufficient. The Respondent made a good-faith effort to resolve noncompliance by filing the C-1 report within 24 hours of being notified.</p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to timely register as a candidate does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. However, the PDC reminded the Respondent about the importance of timely filing all future PDC reports. The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/557230.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "55723 Emerson Mark D.

(EY '19) (Nov '19)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.55.010/42.17A.700, RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - Local<p>The PDC received a complaint alleging that Tim Larson (the “Respondent”) may have violated RCW 42.17A.205, .235 & .700 by failing to timely register as a candidate and file a statement of financial affairs within two weeks of becoming a candidate, and timely report contributions & expenditures on C-3 & C-4 reports.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules and reporting requirements; the responses provided by the Respondent; and the Respondent’s reporting history to determine whether they support a finding of one or more violations. Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>The Respondent is a first-time candidate who filed with Elections on May 14, 2019 and was therefore required to file a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) and Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) with the PDC within two weeks, or no later than May 28, 2019. The Respondent filed a C-1 and F-1 report with the PDC on December 10, 2019, which is 196 days late. </p><p>On his C-1 report, the Respondent selected the Mini-reporting Option, whereby a candidate’s campaign is not required to file C-3 & C-4 reports with the PDC if they raise & spend no more than $5,000 and receive no more than $500 from any one contributor. </p><p>In his response to the complaint, the Respondent indicated he withdrew from the election because he moved out of the district. He reached out the Chelan County Auditor’s Office and was assured his name would not appear on the ballot. Based on this conversation, the Respondent thought he had ceased being a candidate and did not raise or spend any money on his campaign. The Respondent later learned that his name did appear on the ballot and he had won the election. However, due to his move out of the district, the Respondent formally declined to accept the position.</p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to timely register as a candidate and file a statement of financial affairs does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. However, the PDC reminded the Respondent about the importance of timely filing all future PDC reports. The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/600680.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "60068 Larson Tim Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3385/60068%20Larson%20Tim%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "60068 Larson Tim Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3385/60068%20Larson%20Tim%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "60068 Larson Tim Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3385/60068%20Larson%20Tim%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]03/23/2021 05:53:22 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The complaints alleged that Mia Gregerson, a Representative in Legislative District 33 may have violated: (1)RCW 42.17A.240 for failure to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) disclosing expenditures made to political consultant, John Wyble, or WinPower Strategies; (2) RCW 42.17A.430 for misuse of surplus funds; (3) RCW 42.17A.490 for improper transfer of funds received for a 2011 City of SeaTac campaign to a 2014 State Representative campaign; (4) RCW 42.17A.235, .240 & WAC 390-16-037 for failure to timely and accurately describe expenditures on C-4 reports; and (5) RCW 42.17A.240 for failure to timely and accurately file C-4 reports disclosing surplus funds.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Rep. Gregerson; the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>The two complaints included six separate allegations in total with some overlapping evidence provided between them. During staff’s review, evidence was found to substantiate two of the allegations in whole and one in part. Rep. Gregerson’s response confirmed that she believed she had improperly used surplus funds in one instance in March 2017 as described in Allegation 2 and she suggested an appropriate remedy. The three expenditure descriptions included in Allegation 4 required edits after the complaint was received, and the receipt of the $10,000 transfer to the Gregerson Surplus Funds Account was disclosed late as described in Allegation 5.</p><p>Rep. Gregerson has been a candidate and elected or appointed official since 2007. She promptly responded to the complaints, submitted amendments and provided details regarding missing or otherwise deficient information. It appears that the errors made related to her Surplus Funds Account and the insufficient descriptions provided in her 2016 campaign, were not done to mislead the public or prevent transparency. Rep. Gregerson has not been found in violation of RCW 42.17A within the past five years.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to include accurate descriptions for three expenditures in a 2016 campaign, failure to timely file receipt of a transfer into the Gregerson Surplus Funds Account, and a misuse of surplus funds that required reimbursement to correct, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>PDC staff is reminding Rep. Gregerson about the importance of including detailed descriptions for all expenditures disclosed on C-4 reports, the timely disclosure of all contribution and expenditure activities related to the Surplus Funds Account, and to review all expenditures of surplus funds to ensure they are permissible in accordance with the statutes and rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1)</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/595690.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "59569 Gregerson Mia - Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3359/59569%20Gregerson%20Mia%20-%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "59569 Gregerson Mia Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3359/59569%20Gregerson%20Mia%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "59569 Gregerson Mia Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3359/59569%20Gregerson%20Mia%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]01/15/2020 04:33:29 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

Mr. Maguire stated that SF currently manages more than 1,200 separate and unique funds, which offer “a variety of grantmaking mechanisms, including grantmaking from unrestricted funds, advised funds, designated funds, area of interest funds, scholarship funds, and supporting organizations.”</p><p>Mr. Maguire explained that the 1,200 separate funds under SF include four different types of funds including “designated funds”, which are funds established to benefit an identified public charity and may not be used to make political contributions or to contribute to a political committee. SF also has “advised funds,” which are funds from which a donor or designee may recommend distributions for specific charitable purposes or organizations, but funds may not be used to make political contributions or to contribute to a political committee.</p><p>Mr. Maguire stated that most of the funds administered by SF “cannot contribute to political committees and are used for charitable purposes” and added that only Area of Interest Funds and Unrestricted Funds may make contributions to political committees. He stated “area of interest funds” are “established to benefit specific charitable purposes, geographic regions, and/or types of charities”, but that there is an exception for an SF donor who completes an SF intake form that allows the donor “the option of creating an Area of Interest Fund.” He stated “unrestricted funds” are funds that are received by the SF but are not subject to the restrictions listed for the other fund types, but he noted that unrestricted funds make up a small percentage or amount of the total donations received by SF. </p><p>Mr. Maguire stated that unrestricted funds “are distributed in accordance with the standards and criteria set forth” in SF’s Operating Guidelines that includes prioritizing “certain community charitable needs in Washington, and specifically in King County.” He stated that while a donor may indicate the donor’s preference for an area of interest fund, all decisions about the donor’s gift are made relying on SF’s “extensive experience and reach with the community to know which needs are most pressing within your stated interest area(s). Accordingly, donors may not direct the funds to any particular recipient only indicate broad areas of interest.” </p><p>Mr. Maguire confirmed SF made three contributions to the political committee and ballot measure committees listed in the complaint, and all three were made from different SF Area of Interest funds. In addition, Mr. Maguire acknowledged that the Seattle Foundation made a fourth contribution during calendar year 2021, from the same area of interest fund that made a contribution during calendar year 2020, as outlined below. The SF area of interest funds that made contributions to political committee or ballot measure committees included the following:</p><p>1.

He stated CJF exists to align SF’s philanthropic efforts towards “increasing climate justice for the most vulnerable communities.” He stated that CJF received $265 in new donations during 2019, with the remainder of the funding coming from SF interfund transfers of $254,250 from funds which were created prior to calendar year 2019, and that the gifts had not been designated or earmarked for political contributions.</p><p>Mr. Maguire stated that the $254,250 included a total of $54,500 received by CJF prior to making the contribution from eight donor advised fund (DAF) transfers, for an average of $6,813 per transfer, and $199,750 from ten interfund DAF transfers for an average of $19,975, received after October 18, 2019.

He stated CCI received $5 in donations through SF’s website in 2019, with the remainder of funding, totaling $147,000, coming from SF interfund transfers of gifts that had been received in previous years and were not designated or earmarked for political contributions.</p><p>Mr. Maguire stated that the $147,000 included $47,000 in funds received by CCI prior to making the contribution from five DAF transfers for an average of $9,400 per transfer, and $100,000 from six interfund DAF transfers for an average of $16,667, that was received after October 18, 2019. He stated CCI also received $58,995 as an interfund transfer from an area of interest fund prior to the Washington Fairness Coalition contribution being made, and a $150,000 interfund transfer of an unrestricted bequest received by SF in 2017 and transferred after the contribution had been made.</p><p>SF listed that CCI made $50,750 in total expenditures and disbursements in CY 2020 that included the $50,000 monetary contribution made to Washington Fairness Coalition and three $250 grants to Eastside Pathways, India Association of Western WA, and Latino Community Fund. <br><br>3. SF’s Civic Leadership Area of Interest fund 2020 (2020 CLF): 2020 CLF made a $50,000 monetary contribution to Yes for Transit on October 22, 2020, as disclosed by the ballot committee. Mr. Maguire stated that the CLF fund was created in 2017, received most of its funding during calendar years 2017- 2020, and listed more than $392,000 as the starting fund balance as of January 1, 2020. </p><p>During calendar year 2020, 2020 CLF received $31,728 in donations from 86 donors through the SF website; $4,000 in DAF grant transfers; $1,150 through an employee giving program; $1,000 as a corporate gift; and a $25,000 individual gift received on December 31, 2020. Mr. Maguire stated that the 2020 CLF did receive one donation/gift more than $10,000 after it made the $50,000 contribution to Yes for Transit 2020, the $25,000 gift listed above.</p><p>SF stated that 2020 CLF made $58,000 in total expenditures and disbursements in CY 2020 that included the $50,000 monetary contribution made to Yes for Transit, and an $8,000 grant that was “made to Byrd Barr Place to support research on Black-led organizations.” </p><p>4. SF’s Civic Leadership Area of Interest fund 2021 (2021 CLF): 2021 CLF made a $40,000 monetary contribution to Best Starts for Kids, a 2021 local ballot committee supporting a King County levy to benefit children on the August 3, 2021, primary election ballot.

In addition, CJF was required to file a C-8 report no later than November 1, 2019, disclosing the $50,000 contribution made to Keep Washington Rolling, and the top 10 largest sources of payments of more than $10,000.</p><p>For calendar year 2019, CCI was required to file a C-1ic within two weeks of making the $50,000 contribution to the Washington Fairness Coalition or no later than November 4, 2019.

The joint mailer included Mr. Martinez’s name and the Campaign PO Box in the return address area of the joint mailer. <br><br>The joint mailer did not meet the political advertisement requirements by including the required sponsor identification (sponsor ID) for both candidates. The sponsor ID requirements include the words "Paid for" or "Sponsored by" followed by each candidate’s name and mailing address; appears on the first page of the mailer; and that it is printed in at least ten-point type and set apart from any other printed content. </p><p>Mr. Sharp stated he did not realize he needed to include the words "Paid For" on the joint mailer his Campaign co-sponsored with Mr. Martinez. He stated that he normally has his Campaign’s literature “done through another printer and this mailer was done with a new printer. So, it totally slipped my mind.” He stated that his “intent with this mailer was to express my campaign message and also assist my friend with his campaign by dividing the cost equally between us.” </p><p>Mr. Sharp stated the joint mailer was for approximately 2,900 mail pieces, that the Renton Printery invoice was forwarded to his treasurer, and the “charge will be captured and added to my PDC report.” PDC staff reviewed the amended 7-Day Pre-General Election Summary Full Campaign Contributions and Expenditures report (C-4 report) that was filed by the Campaign on October 28, 2021, and found the Campaign disclosed a $1,593.18 order placed with Renton Printery for the costs of the joint or dual mailer. Both Mr. Sharp and Mr. Martinez were billed separately for their respective portions of the joint mailer costs. </p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined, in this instance, the allegations concerning the failure to include the required sponsor ID for both candidates on the joint political advertisement do not amount to a violation warranting investigation or further enforcement action. </p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Tosh Sharp will receive a formal written warning concerning his failure to include the required sponsor identification on political advertising co-sponsored by his Campaign along with another candidate. The formal written warning includes staff’s expectation that Tosh Sharp will in the future include the complete sponsor identification on all future political advertisements as required by law, including joint candidate mailers. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on future Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1)<br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1000720.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Email Response from Tosh Sharp.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5021/Email%20Response%20from%20Tosh%20Sharp.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "100072 Sharp Tosh Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5021/100072%20Sharp%20Tosh%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Sharp, Tosh Complaint Return Letter (Carterl) PDC Case 100072.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5021/Sharp%2C%20Tosh%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28Carterl%29%20PDC%20Case%20100072.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]05/20/2024 12:33:49 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The statute and rules primarily apply to the employer/contractors, but also prohibit the union and the employer/contractors from discriminating against a union member who does not make political contributions.</span></p><div><br></div><p><span>Staff found that the current authorization form does not conform to the requirements in RCW 42.17A.495 and WAC 390-17-100, and that many of the employer/contractors have not been sending out the required annual notification to employees who have funds withheld for PAC contributions, as required by WAC 390-17-110. The employer/contractors rely on the union to provide an authorization form that complies with the law and rules. Staff made it clear what changes need to be made to the written authorization and annual notification. The union, working with and on behalf of the employer/contractors, has developed an authorization form and annual notification that meets the requirement of the statute and rules. The respondents have stated that they will incorporate the changes to the authorization form and annual notification.</span></p><div><br></div><div><span>Staff determined that, in this instance, the failure of the 35 employer/contractor respondents to fully comply with the law does not amount to an actual violation warranting further investigation. However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), the 35 employer/contractor respondents received a formal written warning concerning: (1) their failure to obtain a proper written request from employees before withholding wages or salaries for contributions to Plumbers & Steamfitters Local 598 PAC; and (2) their failure to provide an annual notification to employees who have requested payroll deductions for political contributions of their right to withdraw their request at any time, and of the prohibition against discrimination by the employer and the union for not contributing. The employer/contractors were informed that the Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.

Staff reviewed all attachments submitted with the complaint, the statute, rules, and PDC Interpretation 04-02 "Guidelines for Local Government Agencies in Election Campaigns," and the response from Mayor Bertlin's counsel. </p><p>Staff found that the email sent by Mayor Bertlin to two City employees on June 30, 2019, was sent for the purpose of furthering her political campaign.

The two complaints alleged that Our Region PAC violated RCW 42.17A by failing to include the required sponsor identification information for independent expenditure advertisements such as the sponsor, and the Top 5 contributor and Top 3 contributor information, as part of the disclaimer in the advertisements.</p><p>On July 2, 2020, Our Region PAC filed a Registration with the PDC disclosing that it was a Continuing Political Committee selecting the Full Reporting Option and listing Jon Petit as President and as a Ministerial Treasurer. On July 13, 2020, Our Region PAC (ORP) filed two C-3 reports disclosing a $10,000 contribution had been received from Responsible Economic Growth in Our Neighborhood PAC - Region PAC on July 10, 2020, and that a $100 monetary loan had been received from Jon Petit.</p><p>On July 15, 2020, ORP timely filed a C-6 report checking box #2 for an independent expenditure advertisement made within 21 days of an election, disclosing a $5,120.60 expenditure for a mailing presented to the public on July 15, 2020, in support of Bud Blake a candidate for Thurston County Commission. On August 6, 2020, ORP filed a C-6 report checking box #2 for an independent expenditure advertisement made within 21 days of an election, disclosing a $3,762.56 expenditure for a mailing presented to the public on August 6, in support of Bud Blake a candidate for Thurston County Commission.</p><p>Responsible Economic Growth in Our Neighborhood PAC - Region PAC (REGION) is a Continuing Political Committee that was formed in February of 2019, selecting the Full Reporting Option, and listing David K. Toyer as Committee Manager and Treasurer. You alleged that ORP failed to include two 2019 REGION contributors, Northpoint Development and Art by Nature, Inc. in the sponsor identification for the 2020 independent expenditures.</p><p>The complete sponsor identification in the ORP independent expenditure advertisements stated: <i>“No candidate authorized this ad, it is paid for by Our Region PAC….Sponsored by Responsible Economic Growth in Our Neighborhood (REGION PAC) top 5 donors are Responsible Economic Growth in Our Neighborhood (REGION PAC), top 3 individuals donors to PAC contributors are Universal Land Construction co, Gibson Traffic Consultants, and The Gordon Company, Inc.”</i></p><p>On October 22, 2020, ORP amended its Committee Registration to state: <i>“Our Region PAC, Sponsored by Responsible Economic Growth in Our Neighborhood (ORPAC).”</i> </p><p>Staff’s review found that at the time of the 2020 independent expenditure advertisements were prepared by ORP, REGION’s top three contributors for calendar year 2020 included a $2,500 monetary contribution from Gibson Traffic Consultants (June 2, 2020); a $2,500 monetary contribution from Universal Land Construction Company, Inc (June 10, 2020); and a $2,000 monetary contribution from The Gordon Company, Inc. (June 24, 2020). The review confirmed the allegation that ORP failed to include two 2019 REGION contributors, Northpoint Development, for a $7,500 monetary contribution received by REGION on October 15, 2019; and Art by Nature, Inc., for a $5,000 monetary contribution received by REGION on November 14, 2019, in the sponsor identification.</p><p>While the independent expenditure advertisements printed and distributed by ORP did include Top five and Top three contributor information, ORP’s review only included 2020 contributors and failed to include a look back into REGION’s 2019 contributors to cover the required 12-month period referenced in the statute and rule. However, staff did find there were several mitigating factors concerning the allegations listed in the two complaints you filed that included ORP being a first-time political committee with an inexperienced Treasurer, and that the ORP independent expenditure advertisements correctly identified the sponsor in the advertisements by stating in part of the sponsor identification "Sponsored by Responsible Economic Growth in Our Neighborhood PAC (REGON).” </p><p>Based on this information, PDC staff found no evidence that would constitute a material violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any enforcement action in this instance. However, staff is reminding Our Region PAC and Mr. Pettit to be aware of the sponsorship requirements in the naming of a political committee, as well as the sponsor identification requirements for independent expenditure advertising to include the Top five and Top three contributors for the previous 12 months, for any political committees he is involved with in the future. </p><p>The PDC has dismissed these two complaints, PDC Cases 74713 and 77585, in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/747130.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "74713 Our Region PAC Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3677/74713%20Our%20Region%20PAC%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Our Region PAC responses to two complaints (Hyer) PDC Cases 74713 and 77585.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3677/Our%20Region%20PAC%20responses%20to%20two%20complaints%20%28Hyer%29%20PDC%20Cases%2074713%20and%2077585.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Our Region PAC Complaint return with Reminder Cover letter (Joe Hyer) PDC Cases 74713 and 77585.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3677/Our%20Region%20PAC%20Complaint%20return%20with%20Reminder%20Cover%20letter%20%28Joe%20Hyer%29%20PDC%20Cases%2074713%20and%2077585.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]10/27/2020 10:39:04 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>The Respondent is a candidate who filed with Elections officials on May 17, 2019 and was therefore required to file a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) and Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) with the PDC within two weeks, or no later than May 31, 2019. </p><p>The Respondent filed an F-1 report with the PDC on June 20, 2019, which is 20 days late. The Respondent filed a C-1 report with the PDC on September 1, 2019, which is 93 days late. On the C-1 report, the Respondent selected the Mini-reporting Option, whereby a candidate’s campaign is not required to file C-3 & C-4 reports with the PDC if they raise & spend no more than $5,000 and receive no more than $500 from any one contributor. </p><p>In his response to the complaint, the Respondent indicated noncompliance was due to a medical emergency. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to timely register as a candidate and file a statement of financial affairs does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. However, the PDC reminded the Respondent about the importance of timely filing all future PDC reports. The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/549720.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "54972 Robinson Richard Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3114/54972%20Robinson%20Richard%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "54972 Robinson Richard Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3114/54972%20Robinson%20Richard%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "54972 Robinson Richard Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3114/54972%20Robinson%20Richard%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]03/24/2021 10:49:55 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The Committee works collaboratively with the 5th, 41st, 45th and 48th Legislative District Democratic organizations, and the Committee’s leadership consists of each of the four Chairs of those East King County Legislative District Democratic organizations.</p><p>Representative Senn and her Treasurer both <i>“mistakenly believed it was a political party and not a PAC (and therefore a permissible use of the funds). It was not until reading the complaint that we realized our mistake, and a request was immediately made for the refund of the donation.”</i></p><p>The $1,000 contribution made using surplus funds was refunded by the Committee and received and deposited by the Tana Senn Surplus funds account on July 23, 2020. A C-3 report was filed by the Tana Senn Surplus funds account on July 24, 2020, disclosing the receipt and deposit of the $1,000 refund of contribution from the Committee as July 23, 2020. </p><p>Staff found that while the Eastside Democratic Dinner Committeehas a direct nexus to the 5th, 41st, 45th and 48th Legislative District Democratic organizations since the Chairs are its Officers, the surplus fund expenditure was not made to a bona fide political party committee. The $1,000 contribution was timely refunded by the Eastside Democratic Dinner Committee, and staff’s review indicated the contribution had not been spent prior to being refunded. </p><p>PDC staff found no evidence of a material violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance. Staff is reminding Representative Senn concerning the importance of carefully reviewing expenditures made from the surplus funds account to make sure all expenditures are permissible in accordance with RCW 42.17A.430, especially contributions made to political party organizations.

He declared his candidacy for election to the position of County Sheriff in Kitsap County in the 2022 election year.</li><li>You alleged that: “Candidate for Kitsap County Sheriff Rick Kuss has again placed yard signs that do not identify his party affiliation as required by RCW 42.17A.320.” You provided multiple photos of the candidate’s yard signs, purportedly taken on October 17, 2022, along Sidney RD SW, Bay St., and Mile Hill & Bethel.</li><li>In response to your complaint, candidate Kuss stated: “Following previous complaint, old signs had an “R” added to label. There is an “(R)” visible under the last “S” under my name. Large sharpie R’s have been added to the old signs previously as well. I certify, our campaign team made a good faith effort to ensure the complaint was not repeated and ordered new signs to put around Kitsap county to replace the old ones all displaying the political party affiliation.” As well, when questioned about the specific signs identified in your pictures, candidate Kuss stated: “The signs were updated prior to 7/19/22. My wife went around and put sharpie on the ones that didn’t have an R on it, and she can positively account for the mile hill and bethel ones. You can tell some of the photos do have an R, but they are unfocused or blurred out in Sophia’s photo.” Mr. Kuss provided photos showing the close up of a yard sign where a sticker is placed below the last “S” in his name with the symbol “(R)”.</li><li>Staff found upon further review of the photos provided by you, enlarged to enhance the area below the “S” in candidate Kuss’s name, it can be determined in all but one of photos the yard signs show an outline of the sticker identified by candidate Kuss. The correction made to the signage was difficult to read from a distance, but it does appear the campaign made a good faith effort to correct the signs following your last complaint. </li><li>It is found that Richard Kuss has a previous warning of PDC requirements for RCW 42.17A.320.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, the allegation does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>However, PDC staff has provided a reminder to Richard Kuss about the importance of disclosing party preference on political advertising according to requirements outlined in RCW 42.17A.320. PDC staff expects in the future that the candidate will make his party preference clearly identifiable on all political advertising prior to it being made public in accordance with PDC laws and rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1140400.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "114040 Kuss Richard Complaint Return (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5613/114040%20Kuss%20Richard%20Complaint%20Return%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "114040 Kuss Richard Complaint Return", "document_type" : "Reminder"}, {"file_name" : "Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5613/Response.pdf", "description" : "114040 Kuss Richard Response", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "114040 Kuss Richard Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5613/114040%20Kuss%20Richard%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]03/13/2024 11:12:21 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

(EY '22; Feb. '22)RCW 29B.45.010/42.17A.555Case Closed with Written WarningPublic Agency - Local<p>A complaint was filed alleging that officials of the Republic School District (RSD), and a RSD teacher, may have violated RCW 42.17A.555 by using school district facilities to make two statements in the February 2022 RSD Newsletter in support of an April 19, 2022 school district levy proposition.</p><p>Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.555 no public facilities can be used by or authorized to be used directly or indirectly by any local elected or appointed official or public employee, to support or oppose any candidate or ballot proposition.</p><p>On February 23, 2022 PDC staff requested a complete copy of the February 2021-2022 RSD Newsletter that was promptly provided by Superintendent Young that same day along with a response to staff’s follow up questions. Superintendent Young stated the newsletter is a regularly scheduled monthly publication and that the February 2021-22 edition was produced at its regular time. He stated there have been occasions when the district decided to not print or mail the newsletter, but otherwise it is a monthly newsletter.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the nine-page newsletter and found the February 2021-2022 edition contained a number of articles and photographs from several teachers that included: Elementary Technology, Welding Program/ Middle School Shop Class, Communities in Schools, Music Corner, Sports Information, Mini Cheer Camp, Republic Life Skills Class, Girls Club, and Weight Class. Superintendent Young stated that RSD staff and students “are invited to share information with our community in our monthly newsletters.”</p><p>Superintendent Young stated that he and the district recently became “aware of a staff member mentioning support for an upcoming levy in the newsletter. This should have been picked up by myself, or another staff member before sending this to print/mail. The district is aware that it can share information, but not actively campaign and seek support for ‘yes votes’.” </p><p>Staff’s review of the newsletter found the following information on page four of the newsletter under the heading “MUSIC CORNER” which stated: We have a levy that is being voted on in April. It is a levy that we currently have and it funds our music program and athletic program. Over half of my band kids are also involved in some kind of sport. They work hard. They practice their sport and practice their musical instruments and work hard in school. Please consider supporting the levy this April. Sara Cromwell” “Winterfest 2022. Republic band students put on a great show. We had several teachers talking to the community in search of support for the upcoming School Levy in April.”</p><p>Superintendent Young stated the newsletter is distributed to residents of the RSD through the US Postal Service and it is sent to all physical addresses and post office boxes as noted in the complaint. He stated in his initial email that the RSD, which he is ultimately responsible for the actions “did not properly proofread material provided for the district newsletter. I agree this is a violation and we are taking corrective measures to ensure it does not happen again. Clearly, we had an employee who didn't understand the rules around Levy elections and we also missed the mark in proofreading what was sent out to families.”</p><p>Superintendent Young stated that the Republic School District has enacted corrective actions and measures to ensure this will not happen again, that includes having “two different staff members in the district office proofread monthly newsletters” and to “notify the person creating the newsletter of campaign rules.” In addition, he stated the RSD will “notify all staff of the requirements regarding school elections and allowable activities if they want to support the levy outside of their work hours and not using any school facility or supplies.”</p><p>Superintendent Young apologized for the mistake, stated that he and RSD were looking forward to moving on from this, and that the inclusion of the statements from Ms. Cromwell “was an unintentional oversight that will not happen again.”</p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance. </p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the PDC is issuing a formal written warning to Superintendent Kevin Young concerning the prohibitions of using Republic School District facilities and resources, including allowing comments to be made in the RSD newsletter in support of or opposition to any candidate, or ballot proposition. The formal written warning includes staff’s expectation that Superintendent Young will follow through on the corrective action and measures as noted in his response, particularly the notification of RSD staff and teachers concerning the prohibitions and restrictions found in PDC Interpretation #01-03, Guidelines for School Districts in Election Campaigns. </p><p>Superintendent Young will be advised that the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action, should there be future violations of PDC laws or rules. The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). <br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1043400.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "104340 Republic School District 309 Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5140/104340%20Republic%20School%20District%20309%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Republic School District - Supt Kevin Young Complaint Return Ltr with Warning.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5140/Republic%20School%20District%20-%20Supt%20Kevin%20Young%20Complaint%20Return%20Ltr%20with%20Warning.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "Email Response from Kevin Young, Supt Republic SD + Newsletter (PDC Case 104340).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5140/Email%20Response%20from%20Kevin%20Young%2C%20Supt%20Republic%20SD%20%2B%20Newsletter%20%28PDC%20Case%20104340%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]03/08/2022 05:49:10 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(EY '20l Jul '20)RCW 29B.30.050/42.17A.320Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - Local<p>The complaint alleged Jon A. Lind, a 2020 candidate for Pacific County Commissioner, position 2, may have violated RCW 42.17A.320 by failing to identify a party preference on political advertising, specifically political signs. </p><p>Lind responded to the PDC on July 21, 2020, stating “I appreciate the notification of the failure to disclose my party preference on the yard signs. I have updated all yards signs to include my party preference using the abbreviation “Ind”. I’m also including a picture of the sign that Carol Ham identified as reference. Please be assured that I have included that same “Ind” party preference on all signs.”</p><p>Based on these findings, and the fact Lind is a first-time candidate and updated the signs as soon as notified of the requirement, staff has determined that, in this instance, the failure to include party identification does not amount a violation warranting further investigation.</p><p>PDC staff is reminding Lind about the importance of identifying the party preference on all political advertising in accordance with PDC laws and rules. Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/735640.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "PDC Case 73564 Jon Lind closed with reminder.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3593/PDC%20Case%2073564%20Jon%20Lind%20closed%20with%20reminder.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "73564 Lind Jon Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3593/73564%20Lind%20Jon%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "PDC Case 73564 Jon Lind response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3593/PDC%20Case%2073564%20Jon%20Lind%20response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]07/22/2020 10:43:08 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

Your complaint alleged that Washington Association of Nurse Anesthetists PAC (“WANA PAC” or “Respondent”), a Continuing Political Committee, may have violated RCW 42.17A.220(4) for accepting over limit anonymous contributions during calendar year 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by Joanna Starratt, Treasurer; the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that WANA PAC held a small number of fundraising events each calendar year from 2016 to 2019 and that the committee treasurer, other officers and volunteers involved in planning the events and recording receipt of the proceeds, misunderstood the distinction between proceeds from a qualifying low-cost fundraiser described in RCW 42.17A.230 and unidentified or “anonymous” contributions and their restrictions described in RCW 42.17A.220.</p><p>In addition, WANA PAC has no previous violations of RCW 42.17A and has stated its intent to change the committee’s fundraising activities in order to ensure compliance in the future.</p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to accurately identify proceeds from low-cost fundraisers separate from contributions received from anonymous sources, and based on the committee escheating all funds that could not be identified as required by RCW 42.17A, does not amount to a finding of a violation warranting further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), WANA PAC will receive a formal written warning concerning the statutory restrictions on the receipt of funds from unidentified sources and the importance of the accurate disclosure of all contribution received, specifically funds that are not itemized including anonymous funds, small contributions of $25 or less and proceeds from low-cost fundraisers.

MISS filed Summary Full Campaign Contributions and Expenditures reports (C-4 reports) and Independent Expenditure and Electioneering Communications reports (C-6 reports) disclosing expenditures made in support of, and opposition to, 2019 candidates seeking the office of Mercer Island City Council. </p><p>MISS made a number of expenditures to the FedEx office located in Bellevue, Washington, for political advertisements in the form of independent expenditures and/or electioneering communications during 2019.<br>Initial Request to FedEx.</p><ul><li>On October 15, 2019, Bellevue’s FedEx office received an email from citizen Bob Brooks requesting an inspection of the records pertaining to a $1,433 expenditure made by MISS to FedEx to print a political advertisement that was paid for on October 3, 2019.</li><li>On October 18, 2019, citizen Steve Finley called the Bellevue FedEx location and requested records pertaining to mailers printed for Mike Cero of MISS.</li><li>On October 18, 2019, the Bellevue FedEx store manager confirmed having received requests for records from Mr. Brooks and Mr. Finley concerning the services provided to MISS.</li><li>On November 21, 2019, FedEx legal counsel acknowledged FedEx accepted political advertising from Mike Cero of MISS in an email to Mr. Finley and provided Mr. Finley with records responsive to the request. The service provided by FedEx was printing mailers that supported candidate Jake Jacobson for Mercer Island City Council, Position 7, for payments in the amounts of: $4,240.52; $2,815.18; and $1,433.30.</li></ul><p>The documentation from FedEx in response to Mr. Finley’s initial request for inspection of the commercial advertiser provision was provided 34 days after Mr. Finley’s request for expenditures made by MISS, and 37 days after the request made by Mr. Brooks concerning the $1,433.30 expenditure made by MISS. </p><ul><li>On November 21, 2019, Mr. Finley sent an email to FedEx legal counsel, stating there were additional advertisements that he would like to inspect, including the FedEx records for all mailers for all of the 2019 candidates seeking election to the Mercer Island City Council. He requested the cost of each mailer, the number of items printed, either a hard copy or a PDF of the mailer, the date ordered and paid, and the date delivered and mailed. </li><li>On December 17, 2019, FedEx legal counsel sent an email to Mr. Finley stating that she was attaching the FedEx receipts for Mike Cero and the MISS advertisements, based on his request. The copies included three FedEx receipts totaling $8,488.98, dated October 13, 24, and 29, 2019, which listed the customer name (Mike Cero), the employee that provided the service, the purchase date, the number of postcards or envelopes printed, the postage costs, and the number of items mailed. </li></ul><p>The documentation from FedEx was provided to Mr. Finley 26 days after his follow-up request.</p><ul><li>On December 18, 2019, Mr. Finley sent an email to FedEx legal counsel requesting information for services provided to MISS for two additional mailers, including a $4,835 expenditure made on October 15, 2019, and a $5,202 expenditure made on October 21, 2019. In addition, Mr. Finley provided other possible names to search for in relation to these expenditures, including Susan, Olivia, Sophia or William Cero, Daniel or Dan Thompson, George Osborne and Daniel or Jake Jacobson. Finally, Mr. Finley also requested a copy of the mailer for the $4,240.52 expenditure made to FedEx on October 23, 2020.</li><li>On December 19, 2019, FedEx legal counsel sent an email to Mr. Finley stating that his email request had been forwarded to the FedEx Office, noting that it was a busy time of the year for her client, and requesting patience while they reviewed their records for the documents. On January 9, 2020, FedEx sent an email to Mr. Finley stating that FedEx had conducted a search and no records were found for any of the names he had provided. </li><li>On May 8, 2020, PDC staff sent an email to FedEx legal counsel stating staff had reached out to MISS for documentation concerning their reported expenditures made to FedEx during the 2019 election. </li><li>The email from PDC staff to FedEx legal counsel requested additional documents be provided to the PDC no later than May 22, 2020. The email explained that there was a total of nine MISS expenditures made to FedEx during 2019, and that records pertaining to six of the expenditures had not been provided by FedEx to date.</li><li>On May 21, 2020, FedEx legal counsel sent an email to PDC staff indicating that FedEx has found responsive information concerning the services provided to MISS by FedEx for the six additional expenditures listed in the May 8th email from staff, and attaching three spreadsheets of data showing the services provided at the FedEx Office in Bellevue store for the MISS political advertisements. </li><li>On May 27, 2020, FedEx legal counsel sent an email to Mr. Finley, attaching the three spreadsheets and stating FedEx believed the production satisfied their obligation under the Washington commercial advertiser rules and regulations. As the spreadsheets listed “Michael Cero” as being associated with the expenditures of $4,835.43 and $5,201.90, they appear responsive to Mr. Finley’s request, although he was not provided with this information earlier.</li></ul><p>The documentation from FedEx was provided to Mr. Finley 19 days after staff’s request for the expenditure information made by MISS, and 155 days after Mr. Finley’s email request dated December 18, 2019.</p><p>On January 27, 2022, an enforcement hearing was scheduled and conducted before the Commission concerning PDC's Motion for Summary Judgement concerning this matter. In the Order on Motion for Summary Judgement , the Commission found:</p><ul><li>There were three requests for information that was required by law to be promptly provided. The October 18, 2019 request was fully complied with 34 days later. The November 21, 2019 request was fully complied with 26 days later. The December 18, 2019 request was fully complied with 155 days later. </li><li>The Commission is not making any exacting finding as to the number of days of impermissible delay (although the passing from the pre-election period into the post-election period has significance) but is simply concluding that, on the undisputed facts, each of the three responsive productions was not provided “promptly.” </li><li>This determination is not clouded by the fact that some of the delay may have been occasioned by FedEx’ good intentions in trying to protect client confidences, in diligently tracking down documents they had chosen to store in Texas and in engaging the PDC in extended dialogue over its responsibilities. </li><li>These circumstances may indeed constitute mitigation but do not provide any broad defense to the allegations. The Staff’s Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED. </li></ul><p>FedEx was subject to the obligations that the law imposes on a commercial advertiser and it failed to comply with those requirements with respect to these MISS campaign materials in the 2019 election. Respondent FedEx violated RCW 42.17A.345. </p><p>On February 24, 2022, an enforcement hearing was scheduled and conducted before the Commission concerning this matter. In the Final Order for Civil Penalty , the Commission found in determining the appropriate penalty in this matter:</p><ul><li><strong>Aggravating factors</strong> include that the Respondent is a large and sophisticated company with ample resources and should have understood its legal obligations when performing commercial advertising services in Washington State.</li><li>Respondent had no policies or procedures in place to inform staff of their obligations; the extensive delay in providing the records to Mr. Finley; and that the information was requested before the election but was not provided until after it. </li><li><strong>Mitigating factors i</strong>n this matter include: that this is the first violation of campaign finance laws by FedEx and the first time they have dealt with these issues in Washington.</li><li>Some of the delay in responding was due to FedEx working in good faith with counsel and PDC Staff as FedEx learned about their responsibilities; and that there was no intentional effort to deceive the public or violate the law by FedEx. </li></ul><p>The aggravating factors as cited, and as explained in oral comments on the record, outweigh the mitigating factors. The Commission has jurisdiction over this matter and the PDC laws and rules applicable to the allegations and to imposition of civil penalties. </p><p>On the facts as presented in this case, FedEx was acting as a commercial advertiser as defined by RCW 42.17A.005(10). FedEx violated RCW 42.17A.345 on three occasions by failing to maintain books of account and related materials as a commercial advertiser and to timely make them available to the public upon request. </p><p>The Commission has authority to impose a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per violation pursuant to RCW 42.17A.755 and WAC 390-37-182. The Commission concludes there were three separate violations in the lack of prompt statutory compliance with respect to the three public requests. Regardless of the number of violations found, the Commission’s conclusion as to the appropriate civil penalty would be the same. </p><p>Pursuant to these findings and conclusions and the Commission’s Order on Summary Judgment of January 31, 2022, and considering the briefing and argument provided at the penalty hearing, the Commission finds by a vote of 4-0 that Respondent FedEx is hereby ordered to pay a civil penalty of $1,500 for each of the three violations to total a $4,500 civil penalty, with $2,000 of that amount suspended based on the following conditions: </p><ol><li>The non-suspended portion of the penalty ($2,500) is paid within thirty days of the date of the Final Order in this matter. </li><li>The Respondent is not found to have committed any further violations of chapter 42.17A RCW or Title 390 WAC within four years of the date of the Final Order in this matter. The suspended penalty shall not be assessed based solely upon any remediable violation, minor violation, or error classified by the commission as appropriate to address by a technical correction. </li><li>If the Respondent fails to comply with any of the conditions of this Order, the suspended portion of the penalty shall immediately become due without further action by the Commission. </li></ol>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/608114500.002000.000.002500.000.00false[{"file_name" : "60811 FedEx Initial Hearing Results - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3410/60811%20FedEx%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "60811 FedEx Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3410/60811%20FedEx%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "FedEx Memoradum to Commission regarding Penalty (PDC Case 68011).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3410/FedEx%20Memoradum%20to%20Commission%20regarding%20Penalty%20%28PDC%20Case%2068011%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "60811 FedEx Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3410/60811%20FedEx%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "FedEx Final Order concerning penalty (PDC Case 60811).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3410/FedEx%20Final%20Order%20concerning%20penalty%20%28PDC%20Case%2060811%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Commission order"}, {"file_name" : "FedEx ROI Final with Exhibits (Finley) PDC Case 60811.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3410/FedEx%20ROI%20Final%20with%20Exhibits%20%28Finley%29%20PDC%20Case%2060811.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "60811 FedEx Initial Hearing Results - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3410/60811%20FedEx%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "60811 FedEx Order on Motion for Summary Judgment.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3410/60811%20FedEx%20Order%20on%20Motion%20for%20Summary%20Judgment.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "PDC Staff Brief regarding FedEx Penalty (PDC Case 60811).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3410/PDC%20Staff%20Brief%20regarding%20FedEx%20Penalty%20%28PDC%20Case%2060811%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}][{"who" : "FEDEX", "address" : null, "order_date" : "2022-03-02", "due_date" : "2022-04-01", "amount" : 4500.00, "description" : null, "suspended_amount" : 2000.00, "suspended_amount_description" : "Pay within 30 days", "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2022-03-18", "amount" : 2500.00, "description" : "PAID"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]03/21/2022 03:21:38 PMCommission or presiding officer heard case and found violation.

(SEP 2017)RCW 29B.40.090/42.17A.430Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - Local<p>On September 18, 2017, the PDC received a complaint alleging that David Sullivan, an incumbent County Commissioner for Jefferson County in the 2017 election year, may have violated RCW 42.17A.430 for the unauthorized use of campaign surplus funds. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the complaint; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; and the response provided by the Respondent, to determine whether the records reviewed support a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>Staff determined that on December 2, 2016, the Respondent wrote a check for $800.90 from his surplus account. The check was made payable to the Respondent for "future campaign." At the time the Respondent had become aware of an effort that was being formed to develop a local ballot measure and offered to donate his surplus funds when the ballot measure campaign got underway.

RainesRaines Vickie L: Alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file campaign and expense reports (Oct'22 EY'22)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>The complaint alleged that Vickie Raines, an incumbent candidate for Grays Harbor County Commissioner, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and RCW 42.17A.240 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegation(s); the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>Vickie Raines previously ran and won election for Grays Harbor County Commissioner in 2014 and 2018. On March 30, 2022, Vickie Raines filed a Candidate Registration</li></ul><p>(C-1) with the PDC declaring her candidacy for re-election to the position of County Commissioner for Grays Harbor County. The candidate selected the “Mini Reporting” option and listed Danice Wikander as Treasurer for the 2022 Campaign. In July 2022, Ms. Raines requested approval to go from the “Mini Reporting” option to “Full Reporting” option and was granted permission on September 28, 2022. Between July and September, the Campaign worked with PDC Filer Assistance to bring the C-3 and C-4 reports up to date.</p><ul><li>You alleged the “Candidate is hiding campaign expenses by not timely filing the C4 due on 10-18-22. In addition, the candidate has made a practice of washing her campaign expenses through her personal bank accounts which avoids the transparency to the public of what is actually being purchased specifically and from which vendors.” You further cited several examples of how you thought Ms. Raines was deceiving the public. Your full complaint is available on the PDC website as part of our electronic filing.</li><li>In response to the complaint and additional questioning by the PDC Compliance Officer, Ms. Raines indicated that she was using personal funds to pay for services indicated in the campaign reports and that she donated those payments for service to her campaign without expectation of repayment. Payments made to the web master and to the campaign treasurer were at Fair Market Value or slightly below. Ms. Raines also provided additional details about the media buys indicated in her reporting and she clarified that she was reusing yard signs from her 2014 campaign and reported expenses associated with the yard signs were to refurbish the 2014 signs as well as for the purchase of 100 new yard signs. Ms. Raines’s full response is available on the PDC website as part of our electronic filing.</li><li>Upon review of reports submitted by the Campaign, staff noted the Campaign worked with PDC Filer Assistance to bring the Campaign’s reports into compliance with “Full Reporting” requirements, as part of the process to switch from “Mini Reporting.” The reports for the period starting 03/29/22 through 8/31/22 were submitted timely and provided adequate detail in the C-3 reports for contribution of Personal Funds and in the C-4 reports for In-Kind Contributions paid for by the candidate with personal funds. However, beginning with September 2022 reporting, the required detail for In-Kind Contribution “Description” and Expenditure “Purpose” on the C-4 reports was not adequate to allow the public a full understanding of what was being paid for by the Campaign. There was also a reporting error related to a contribution and then refund of that contribution for Rich and Kristin Hartman. And in a couple of instances, the Occupation and Employer detail was missing from contributors who contributed over $100. It was further found, that during the month prior to the election, two C-3 reports were each filed approximately two weeks late and the C-4 report for period 9/1/22-10/17/22 due on 10/18/22 was initially filed on 9/9/22 but the information was not correctly represented until an amendment on 12/29/22. </li><li>Staff noted, per WAC 390-17-305, that the candidate’s use of personal funds are allowable as a contribution to their Campaign. There are however reporting requirements the Campaign must comply with when disclosing candidate personal funds. PDC staff directed the Campaign to the PDC website for guidance on <a href="https://www.pdc.wa.gov/registration-reporting/candidates-committees/contributions/kind-contributions">disclosing in-kind contributions</a>. Staff also directed the Campaign to the PDC website for guidance when campaign funds are used for <a href="https://www.pdc.wa.gov/registration-reporting/candidates-committees/expenditures-debts/expenditures-require-additional-disclosure">media buys</a>. The Campaign has responded to the provided guidance, and again utilized PDC Filer Assistance, to amend many reports and as of December 29, 2022, the Campaign’s reporting is determined adequate.</li><li>Ms. Raines does not have previous reminders, warnings, or violations of PDC requirements related to RCW 42.17A.235 or .240.</li></ul><p>Ms. Raines took prompt action to respond to the allegations and made her Treasurer aware of the reporting issues. Both Ms. Raines and her Treasurer have worked with PDC staff to remedy identified issues in the Campaign’s reporting. </p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, there was oversight in reporting adequate detail in C-3 and C-4 reports, and to file reports timely, but this was inadvertent and does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Vickie Raines will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to adequately disclosure “Description” and “Purpose” details of all contribution and expenditures and to timely file reports according to PDC guidance. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Vickie Raines timely file with all necessary detail required reports of contributions and expenditures in future years. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1135440.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Complaint Return Letter (Warning Combined) 01092023.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5593/Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28Warning%20Combined%29%20%2001092023.pdf", "description" : "113544 Raines Vickie L.

(EY '21; Jul '21)RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Resolved with Technical CorrectionCandidate - Local<p>A complaint was filed against Alecia Cunningham, a candidate for University Place School Director in 2021 alleging that the 2021Alecia Cunningham Campaign (Campaign) may have violated RCW 42.17A.240 by failing to accurately disclose the complete expenditure description for political advertising purchased by the Campaign. </p><p>On May 31, 2021, the Campaign timely filed the May 2021 C-4 report disclosing no contributions had been received and that $294.21 in expenditures were made. The two expenditures included a $203.44 expenditure to the Washington State Democratic Central Committee for a vote building effort, and a $79.27 expenditure made to Argo Strategies for Invoice #5492.</p><p>On June 10, 2021, the Campaign timely filed an amended May 2021 C-4 report disclosing newly amended information that included listing Code “M” for Management for the Argo Strategies expenditure, and disclosing a new $1,200 expenditure that was made by the Campaign on May 27, 2021, to Johnson-Cox Printing, Inc., with the description stating “Doorbeller estimate for order.”</p><p>On July 26, 2021, after being made aware of the complaint allegations, the Campaign promptly filed a second amended May 2021 C-4 report disclosing the same $250 in monetary contributions received and $1,494.21 in expenditures made during the period, but amended the Johnson-Cox Printing, Inc. expenditure description to state “3,000 door hangers printed."</p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined, in this instance, the allegation of failing to accurately disclose the proper description for one Campaign expenditure that was otherwise, timely disclosed, does not amount to a violation warranting further investigation. RCW 42.17A.005(52) defines "Technical correction" to mean “the correction of a minor or ministerial error in a required report that does not materially harm the public interest and needs to be corrected for the report to be in full compliance with the requirements of this chapter.” </p><p>Alecia Cunningham is a first-time candidate with a first-time Treasurer, and the Campaign made a minor or ministerial error on the May 2021 C-4 report, which did not materially impact the public. Upon notification of the error, the Campaign timely filed an amended May 2021 C-4 report making the necessary technical corrections as requested by staff to bring the Campaign back into compliance.

Mr. Hadaller was a first-time candidate for public office in 2022. </p><p>Mr. Hadaller stated he purchased newspaper advertising in the Lewis County News (LCN) that ran during the 2022 election cycle, and that his Campaign placed three identical ads in LCN. He stated that the LCN ran the ads “at the appropriate dates I requested,” and they cost $1,020 for each newspaper advertisement, for a total cost of $3,060. He stated that the newspaper ads that appeared in the LCN “were print outs of my flier that I used to hand out at parades and my door-to-door campaigning.”</p><p>Mr. Hadaller stated he was contacted by two people with the LCN about being interviewed, a woman named Gina and Lynette Hoffman, a reporter for the LCN. He stated that “Gina contacted me first asking if I would be able to have a conversation with Ms. Hoffman about doing an editorial about the upcoming election candidates.” </p><p>Mr. Hadaller stated that Ms. Hoffman asked, “if she could interview me and get a statement or two from me regarding my opinions and goals for the upcoming election.” He stated that he felt his conversations with Ms. Hoffman “were very informal” and did not feel like it was a newspaper type interview at least to him. He stated that whatever the interview process was “it was my understanding that she was preparing an editorial about the upcoming election candidates in Lewis County addressing the choices people had available to them.” </p><p>Mr. Hadaller stated that he “was not asked to give a prepared statement for publication” and instead he was asked, and he answered questions about his candidacy to the best of his ability. He stated that he “did not notice the use of 1st person when the article came out. It did not seem out of the ordinary.” He said it felt it was up to the writer's discretion “to choose the wording that she felt was appropriate.” He stated that he “certainly did not consider that interview to be an in-kind donation to my campaign” and added that he did not know if the article/editorial was of any value or benefit to his Campaign.</p><p>Mr. Hadaller said it was his understanding from speaking with Ms. Hoffman that the “article” that ran in the LCN, was intended “to help the voters get to know the candidates to better help them make informed decisions about the people they vote in to help run the offices in Lewis County.” He stated that the “interview was in no way meant to come across as an advertisement and I have no control over Ms. Hoffman” concerning the candidates that she interviewed or what she wrote.</p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any enforcement action in this instance. </p><p>PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1142240.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Hadaller, Mike Complaint Return Letter (PDC Case 114224).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5618/Hadaller%2C%20Mike%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28PDC%20Case%20114224%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}, {"file_name" : "114224 Hadaller Mike Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5618/114224%20Hadaller%20Mike%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Hadaller, Mike Email Response with attachments (Rohr) PDC Case 114224.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5618/Hadaller%2C%20Mike%20Email%20Response%20with%20attachments%20%28Rohr%29%20PDC%20Case%20114224.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]06/05/2026 03:07:10 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

Videos made by the candidate promoting themselves and posted to a campaign’s social media pages or website are not required to include sponsor identification if the originating page has the required sponsor identification. If the video was posted in other places or as stand-alone advertising, sponsor identification would be required. </p><p>PDC staff has determined, in this instance, the failure to timely and accurately report expenditures does not amount to a violation warranting further investigation. However, based on the fact Peterson has four previous campaigns and extensive reporting history with the PDC, Peterson will receive a formal written warning pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d) concerning the failure to timely report contributions and expenditures. </p><p>The formal written warning includes staff’s expectation Peterson will, in the future, timely and accurately file PDC reports and disclose contributions and expenditures as required by law. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on future Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/966170.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "96617 Peterson Stephen (Steve) K Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4922/96617%20Peterson%20Stephen%20%28Steve%29%20K%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "PDC Case 96617 Peterson, Stephen (Steve) K response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4922/PDC%20Case%2096617%20Peterson%2C%20Stephen%20%28Steve%29%20K%20response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "PDC Case 96617 Stephen Peterson closed with warning.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4922/PDC%20Case%2096617%20Stephen%20Peterson%20closed%20with%20warning.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]09/20/2021 08:25:34 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The statute and rules primarily apply to the employer/contractors, but also prohibit the union and the employer/contractors from discriminating against a union member who does not make political contributions.</span></p><div><br></div><p><span>Staff found that the current authorization form does not conform to the requirements in RCW 42.17A.495 and WAC 390-17-100, and that many of the employer/contractors have not been sending out the required annual notification to employees who have funds withheld for PAC contributions, as required by WAC 390-17-110. The employer/contractors rely on the union to provide an authorization form that complies with the law and rules. Staff made it clear what changes need to be made to the written authorization and annual notification. The union, working with and on behalf of the employer/contractors, has developed an authorization form and annual notification that meets the requirement of the statute and rules. The respondents have stated that they will incorporate the changes to the authorization form and annual notification.</span></p><div><br></div><div><span>Staff determined that, in this instance, the failure of the 35 employer/contractor respondents to fully comply with the law does not amount to an actual violation warranting further investigation. However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), the 35 employer/contractor respondents received a formal written warning concerning: (1) their failure to obtain a proper written request from employees before withholding wages or salaries for contributions to Plumbers & Steamfitters Local 598 PAC; and (2) their failure to provide an annual notification to employees who have requested payroll deductions for political contributions of their right to withdraw their request at any time, and of the prohibition against discrimination by the employer and the union for not contributing. The employer/contractors were informed that the Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. Based on this information, the PDC found that no further action is warranted and dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</span></div></div>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/436790.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "43679 Brothers Pipeline Corporation Appendix to complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2031/43679%20Brothers%20Pipeline%20Corporation%20Appendix%20to%20complaint.pdf", "description" : "43679 Brothers Pipeline Corporation Appendix to complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "43679 Combined Case Closure Letters.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2031/43679%20Combined%20Case%20Closure%20Letters.pdf", "description" : "43679 Combined Case Closure Letters.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "2019 Response to PDC_Redacted_5.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2031/2019%20Response%20to%20PDC_Redacted_5.pdf", "description" : "2019 Response to PDC_Redacted_5.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "43679 Brothers Pipeline Corporation Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2031/43679%20Brothers%20Pipeline%20Corporation%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "43679 Brothers Pipeline Corporation Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}]08/08/2025 02:36:45 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

36917619308/26/202008/26/202010/09/2020Arthur David ChurchmanJulie DoorDoor, Julie (3): Alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.555 for authorizing the misuse of City Council Meeting to support or oppose election campaigns (EY 20; Aug 20)RCW 29B.45.010/42.17A.555Case Closed with ReminderPublic Employee - Local<p>A complaint was filed alleging that Julie Door, the incumbent Mayor of the City of Puyallup and a candidate for State Senator in the 25th Legislative District in 2020, may have violated RCW 42.17A.555 by allowing a City of Puyallup Council member to make statements during a City Council meeting about a political committee distributing political advertising in the City of Puyallup.</p><p>During the August 18, 2020 Puyallup City Council meeting Councilmember Robin Farris made comments that political advertisements had been distributed in Puyallup by a political committee concerning the 25th Legislative District Senate race stating “<i>that property taxes increased by 20% and a number of other things. That is absolutely false....that was sent out by a PAC or a political action committee, actually two political action committees. And if those political action committees actually believed it then they wouldn't be sending out a flyer against one candidate who is running on council and also contribute to another council member for a different race.”</i></p><p>In Ms. Farris's response letter to the complaint filed against her she stated that during the August 18th meeting the City Attorney <i>“did not interrupt me, nor did any of the fellow councilmembers call a point of order, which they would not hesitate to do.”</i> She stated that after finishing her statement, Mayor Door requested the City Attorney provide her and the rest of the council with information <i>“regarding speaking out about political matters during council meetings.”</i> She stated that while she stood by her comments at the meeting about the political committee and the mailer, <i>“the City Attorney provided guidance on more appropriate ways of correcting the record that do not have the appearance of political speak. I have taken this approach since that time and will continue that approach from now on.”</i></p><p>Mayor Door stated in her response letter “<i>As you can see from the evidence Mr. Churchman provides, I did not mention my campaign or advocate for or against any campaign during city council meeting. It appears Mr. Churchman's issue is with comments made by Councilmember Farris.</i>”</p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance. However, as Mayor of the City of Puyallup and Chair of the City Council meetings, Mayor Door has the responsibility to ensure that the Puyallup City council members adhere to the statutes and rules concerning open public meetings. That responsibility includes the PDC prohibitions found in RCW 42.17A.555 for allowing comments to be made by City Councilmembers and the general public during an official open public meeting. The prohibition includes comments made during the meeting which support or oppose any candidate for public office, including indirect references or inferences about a candidate, or any political committee that supports or opposes a candidate.</p><p>The PDC is reminding Julie Door concerning the prohibitions of using City of Puyallup facilities and resources, including during Puyallup city council meeting, to support or oppose any candidate, or any political committee that supports or opposes candidates in accordance with RCW 42.17A.555. The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/761930.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Door Julie Complaint Return Letter with Reminder (Churchman) PDC Case 76193.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3691/Door%20Julie%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20with%20Reminder%20%28Churchman%29%20PDC%20Case%2076193.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "76193 Door Julie (3) Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3691/76193%20Door%20Julie%20%283%29%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "76193 Door Julie (3) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3691/76193%20Door%20Julie%20%283%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]10/09/2020 09:34:31 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

(EY 18 Oct 18)RCW 29B.30.050/42.17A.320, RCW 29B.55.010/42.17A.700Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Legislative<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed on October 2, 2018. The complaint alleged that Senator Doug Ericksen may have violated RCW 42.17A.700 for failure to timely and accurately disclose reportable income on the Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) covering calendar year 2016 and RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to identify the sponsor of a political advertisement video posted online.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Senator Ericksen; and the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent to determine if the allegations support a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Although the Personal Financial Affairs Statement originally submitted for calendar year 2016 did not include all reportable income required, Doug Ericksen’s work for the 2016 Donald Trump Presidential Campaign was widely publicized and available for public review. In regard to the missing sponsor identification in the political advertisement video, the Facebook page and campaign website where the ad was displayed did identify the likely sponsor. <br> </p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately disclose all reportable income on the annual F-1 report covering 2016 and failure to include sponsor identification on a political advertisement video, does not amount to an actual violation warranting further investigation. <br> </p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), however, Doug Ericksen received a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately disclose all sources of income on the Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report). The formal written warning included staff’s expectation that Doug Ericksen timely and accurately disclose all reportable income on F-1 reports in future years as an elected or appointed official or candidate for public office. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. <br> </p><p>PDC staff is also reminded Doug Ericksen about the requirement to identify who pays for or sponsors political advertisements. PDC staff expects that Senator Ericksen will including complete sponsor identification on all political advertisements sponsored or paid for by him in future elections in accordance with PDC laws and rules. <br> </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).<br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/415810.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "41581 Ericksen Doug Formal Written Warning.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1919/41581%20Ericksen%20Doug%20Formal%20Written%20Warning.pdf", "description" : "41581 Ericksen Doug Formal Written Warning.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "41581 Ericksen Doug Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1919/41581%20Ericksen%20Doug%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "41581 Ericksen Doug Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "41581 Ericksen Doug Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1919/41581%20Ericksen%20Doug%20Response.pdf", "description" : "41581 Ericksen Doug Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}]11/27/2019 12:36:55 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(Oct '19)WAC 390-16-037, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with ReminderPolitical Committee - Local Issue<p>The PDC received a complaint alleging that Yes for Homes Coalition of San Juan County (the “Respondent”) may have violated RCW 42.17A.240 and WAC 390-16-037 by failing to provide sufficient expenditure details on C-4 reports during election year 2018. PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; and the Respondent’s reporting history to determine whether they support a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>RCW 42.17A.240(6) requires committees to report the name & address of each person to whom an expenditure is made in the aggregate amount of more than $50 during the period covered by the report, including the amount, date and purpose of each expenditure. Pursuant to WAC 390-16-037, expenditures disclosed on the C-4 report should be described “in detail,” including how the recipient of the expenditure (e.g. vendor) will use the goods and/or services purchased, and numerical descriptions (e.g. the number of items printed). WAC 390-16-205 further requires each committee to report any expenditures, paid to a sub-vendor or other third party, by a vendor it employs or retains. </p><p>The Respondent filed five C-4 reports in 2018 that appeared to lack sub-vendor breakdowns and/or expenditure details regarding signs, digital ads, printing, mailer, and advertising. The Respondent amended five C-4 reports from 2018 to include the missing information on December 11 and 13, 2019.</p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to report sub-vendor breakdowns and complete expenditure descriptions on C-4 reports does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. However, the PDC reminded the Respondent about the importance of providing sub-vendor breakdowns and detailed expenditure descriptions on C-4 reports. </p><p>The Respondent made minor or ministerial errors on required reports, which did not materially impact the public interest.

The complaint alleged that Senator Steven O’Ban, an incumbent State Senator and a candidate seeking re-election to that office in 2016, violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to timely file the Monetary Contributions reports (C-3 reports). </p><p>The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) notified PDC staff that their office would not be taking action against Senator Steven O’Ban concerning the Citizen Action Notice filed with their office. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations listed in the complaint, the statutes, rules and reporting requirements, the C-3 reports filed by the Steven O’Ban Campaign (Campaign), and the August 31, 2018 response letter from Senator Steven O’Ban. </p><p>The 2016 Steven O’Ban Campaign disclosed receiving approximately $554,914 in monetary and in-kind contributions, and made expenditures totaling more than $548,646. The Campaign failed to timely file two C-3 reports that disclosed monetary contributions received by the Campaign, and staff noted that one of the C-3 reports was filed one day late.</p><p>Based on our findings, PDC staff found no evidence of a material violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance. </p><p>Therefore, PDC is returning the complaint filed against Senator Steven O’Ban without taking any formal action, however, staff has reminded Senator O’Ban of the importance of filing timely and accurate reports disclosing campaign contribution for all future campaigns. </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/308960.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "30896 O'Ban Steve Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/528/30896%20O%27Ban%20Steve%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "30896 O'Ban Steve Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "30896 O'Ban Steve AGO Letter of Results.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/528/30896%20O%27Ban%20Steve%20AGO%20Letter%20of%20Results.pdf", "description" : "30896 O'Ban Steve AGO Letter of Results.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "Complaint Attach - Exhibits B & C O'Ban.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/528/Complaint%20Attach%20-%20Exhibits%20B%20%26%20C%20O%27Ban.pdf", "description" : "Complaint Attach - Exhibits B & C O'Ban.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "30896 O'Ban Steve Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/528/30896%20O%27Ban%20Steve%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "30896 O'Ban Steve Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "30896 O'Ban Steve Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/528/30896%20O%27Ban%20Steve%20Response.pdf", "description" : "30896 O'Ban Steve Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}]04/07/2019 03:59:35 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The webpage indicated the top five contributors to the campaign as Robert Poore, Sarah Poore, Elaine Nonneman, Shel Kaphan, and David Bangs. The Complainant believes FairVote Action, FairVote Washington and Frederik Schaffalitzky should have been identified on the webpage.</li><li>Jason Bennett, Ministerial Treasurer for the committee, indicated the webpage was created approximately August 20, 2022. Mr. Bennett indicated “we do not have access to the exact dates the site was updated. Since the site has been deleted, the logs no longer exist. It was updated at least twice since the ballots dropped in October.” Nevertheless, based on PDC staff’s use of a web archiving tool, <a href="https://web.archive.org/">https://web.archive.org/</a> , five instances of the webpage were discovered from August 19, 2022, to October 20, 2022. On 8/19/22 the webpage appeared to be in development and did not indicate a sponsor or any top 5 contributors. On dates 9/20/22, 9/26/22 and 10/7/22 the webpage indicated sponsorship as “Paid for by Ranked-Choice Voting for Seattle” but did not include any top five contributors. Then on 10/20/22 the first instance of top five contributors appears on the webpage. The top five contributors identified in this last instance of the webpage are the same contributors as provided in Mr. Bangs’ complaint screen shot from November 15, 2022. These contributors met the statutory definition of a top five contributor per WAC 390-18-025 but were not necessarily the contributors who donated the most based on a point-in-time as reported in the reports for Cash Receipts Monetary Contributions (C3). The sponsor identification was correctly applied starting with the 9/20/22 instance of the webpage and did not change.</li><li>Per Mr. Bangs’ complaint, PDC staff confirmed the following identified contributors did donate prior to the point in time of Mr. Bangs’ webpage screenshot:<ul><li>On October 14, 2022, Frederik Schaffaltizky contributed $25,0000.</li><li>FairVote Action contributed on October 14th $200,000 and on October 31st $190,000.</li><li>FairVote Washington contributed $50,000 on October 25th and $30,000 on October 28, 2022.</li></ul></li></ul><p>However, the date of viewing, by the public, of a committee webpage does not determine whether the identification of top donors was accurate in this case. WAC 390-18-025 identifies the “date on which the advertisement is published or otherwise presented to the public” is the point-in-time date which the top five contributors must be identified. As well, there is no statutory obligation to continually update a webpage if larger contributions are received once the webpage is published.</p><ul><li>The committee has expressed agreement the webpage was missing any indication of top five contributors between the period 8/19/22 – 10/7/22. During this period, based on C3 reports, the top five contributors who could have been identified depending on the date the webpage was published included:<ul><li>Sarah Poore (1 contribution $2500, 1 contribution $10K) </li><li>Elaine Nonneman ($5K) or Shel Kaphan ($5K)</li><li>David Bangs (2 contributions of $2500)</li><li>Leigh Bangs (2 contributions of $2500) </li><li>Robert Poore (1 contribution $2500, 1 contribution $10K)</li></ul></li><li>Without a comprehensive log of the webpage updates, an exact date cannot be pinpointed so it is accepted that at some point between 10/7/22 and 10/20/22 the webpage was updated, and top five contributors were added. There are several possibilities for who could have been identified as a top five contributor during this period to include:<ul><li>10/14/22 – Frederick Schaffaltizky $25,000</li><li>10/14/22 – FairVote Action $200,000</li><li>10/17/22 – Jabe Blumenthal $7500 or Julie Esdforth $7500</li></ul></li><li>The committee did timely submit all required C3 reports and Summary Full Reports Receipts and Expenditures (C4). These reports appear to accurately identify contributors, cash or in-kind amounts donated, debts and obligations. The committee filed a C3 on January 27, 2023, reporting a cash contribution, received on 1/19/23, from FairVote Washington and a C4 for the period 1/1/23-1/31/23 reporting all prior obligations as zero balances.</li><li>Respondent does not have previous warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance there does not appear to be a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Ranked Choice Voting for Seattle will receive a formal written warning concerning the failure to comply with requirements to identify and include accurate top five donor information on a campaign website. PDC Staff expects in the future that you will adhere to RCW 42.17A.320 and PDC Interpretation No. 07-04 as well as any future PDC guidance, laws, or rules. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1143580.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "114358 Ranked Choice Voting for Seattle Complain Return Letter (combined) 02072023.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5628/114358%20Ranked%20Choice%20Voting%20for%20Seattle%20Complain%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29%2002072023.pdf", "description" : "114358 Ranked Choice Voting for Seattle Complaint Return Letter", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "Ranked Choice Voting for Seattle Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5628/Ranked%20Choice%20Voting%20for%20Seattle%20Response.pdf", "description" : "114358 Ranked Choice Voting for Seattle Response", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "114358 Ranked Choice Voting for Seattle Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5628/114358%20Ranked%20Choice%20Voting%20for%20Seattle%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "114358 Ranked Choice Voting for Seattle Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]03/12/2024 02:30:51 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

633514500011/02/202311/02/202312/29/2023Duane GoehnerGustavo MontoyaMontoya, Gustavo: Alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.235 & WAC 390-16-043 & WAC 390-16-115 for failure to allow inspection of campaign books of account (EY23, Nov23)WAC 390-16-043, WAC 390-16-115, RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - Local<p>PDC staff reviewed the allegation(s); the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by the Respondent; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>Gustavo Montoya was appointed to their position of hospital commissioner in 2022 and ran in the 2023 election to fulfill the remainder term of office. Mr. Montoya filed a declaration of candidacy on May 17, 2023, and a Candidate Registration (C-1) on June 16, 2023, under the Mini Reporting option. Mr. Montoya won the election and will serve the remainder of their term through December 2025. </li><li>RCW 42.17A.235 & WAC 390-16-043 states, in part, the books of account must be open for public inspection by appointment at a place agreed upon by both the treasurer and the requestor, for inspections between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on any day from the tenth calendar day immediately before the election through the day immediately before the election, other than Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday. It is a violation of this chapter for a candidate or political committee to refuse to allow and keep an appointment for an inspection to be conducted during these authorized times and days. WAC 390-16-115(6) states the candidate or political committee treasurer must comply with the requirements for public inspection of campaign books pursuant to WAC 390-16-043. </li><li>During the case review, PDC staff determined the following: </li><li>On September 17, 2023, Mr. Montoya suffered a significant stroke, he was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center where he remained for a month. He was transferred to Providence Rehab Center in Everett and did not return home until one week before the election. Mr. Montoya’s memory was impacted by the stroke, and he was not able to remember the passwords for his computer, email accounts, or PDC campaign account. Mr. Montoya is the only listed officer for his campaign and no one else had his passwords. </li><li>During the period following his stroke, Mr. Montoya’s wife (Norma Gallegos) reached out to Bruce Williams, a hospital commissioner running for re-election, and asked him to let the hospital and rotary know about Mr. Montoya’s condition. On September 22, 2023, Mr. Williams made the announcement at a rotary club meeting, and he informed the hospital leadership. Hospital staff received an email about Mr. Montoya’s condition.</li><li>Mr. Montoya’s wife also let Mr. Williams know that Mr. Montoya wanted to continue as a commissioner, and she asked Mr. Williams to help with Mr. Montoya’s campaign while he was recovering. Mr. Williams agreed to help and was provided information about the campaign contributions and expenditures. With this information he was able to recreate a spreadsheet for Mr. Montoya’s campaign record in preparation to provide the information to anyone who made a request. Unfortunately, Mr. Williams did not have access to Mr. Montoya’s email account so could not monitor it for requests, but he assumed because of the efforts he and others had taken to make Mr. Montoya’s situation known to the community, interested parties would know to get into contact with him. He also called the PDC on November 1, 2023, and discussed the matter with staff. PDC staff but they were not able to help in this situation because Mr. Montoya was the only officer listed on his campaign.</li><li>On October 4, 2023, Duane Goehner filed a complaint against Bruce Williams’s campaign which the PDC subsequently dismissed as unfounded. However, in the complaint, the Mr. Goehner stated, “Also curious has been that Mr. Williams has been heavily campaigning for another incumbent candidate who two weeks ago became fully incapacitated due to a recent stroke. The candidate, is my “opponent” in the election (and might add, a really nice, gently guy I personally know), and remains in Harborview unconscious, with family reporting that he has a very very long recovery.” </li><li>On October 19, 2023, Mr. Goehner published a blog post on the <i>Lake Wenatchee Info </i>website indicating that he had spoken with friends of Mr. Gustavo and again indicated that he knew about Mr. Montoya’s stroke and his lengthy recovery.</li><li>On October 30th, 2023, Mr. Goehner sent a request to Mr. Montoya’s campaign email address to review the campaign books of account. On October 31, 2023, he again sent another request to the same email, and received no response from either request. On November 6, 2023, Mr. Goehner filed a complaint with the PDC.</li><li>The Respondent does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>It is clear to PDC staff that Mr. Goehner knew of Mr. Montoya’s condition and that he was aware Mr. Williams was assisting with Mr. Montoya’s campaign while he was recovering. Under PDC statutes and rules, Mr. Goehner was not obligated to reach out to Mr. Williams in making the request to review Mr. Montoya’s campaign books of account, but it would seem if he wanted to review that material, he could have availed himself of the opportunity. </p><p>Based on our findings staff has decided that, in this instance, failing to provide an inspection of a campaign’s books of account does not amount to a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>PDC staff reminded Mr. Gustavo Montoya about the importance of making campaign books of account open for public inspection during the ten calendar days before an election and to facilitate a timely inspection, the email address listed on the C-1 report for the candidate or campaign committee should be maintained. PDC staff expects in the future that Mr. Montoya will abide by all applicable laws, rules, and guidelines related to the obligations of public inspection of books of account.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1450000.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "145000 Montoya_Gustavo Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6335/145000%20Montoya_Gustavo%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Reminder"}, {"file_name" : "145000 Montoya Gustavo Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6335/145000%20Montoya%20Gustavo%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "145000 Montoya_Gustavo Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6335/145000%20Montoya_Gustavo%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]12/29/2023 02:14:24 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

However, this does not apply to the following activities: (2) A statement by an elected official in support of or in opposition to any ballot proposition at an open press conference or in response to a specific inquiry.”</p><p>PDC Interpretation #92-03 states in part the following: "Open press conference" for the purpose of RCW 42.17A.555 means a meeting of an elected official with one or more working representatives of the print or broadcast media, to whom an invitation has been generally extended to press representatives in the area or who ordinarily cover the activities of the office. The format of press conferences vary. The official may or may not make an introductory statement or have hand-out materials. However, an "open" press conference envisions that there will be an opportunity for press representatives to question the official about the ballot measure at issue.”</p><p>On August 9, 2022, Nadine Woodward filed a Candidate Registration seeking re-election to the office City of Spokane Mayor for the 2023 election cycle. Ms. Woodward was elected Mayor of the City of Spokane in 2019 as a first-time candidate. </p><p>In 2023, the Spokane County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution No. 22-0824 concerning a proposed sales and use tax increase pursuant to RCW 82.14.450, which if approved, would authorize Spokane County to “impose an additional 0.2% county-wide sales and use tax, commencing April 1, 2024, and terminating December 31, 2054.” The funds raised from the sales and use tax would “be used by the County and Cities and Towns within Spokane County for criminal justice, public safety, and behavioral health purposes” that included building new and/or improving existing jails or correctional facilities as provided in Spokane County Proposition #1. Spokane County Proposition #1 appeared on the November 7, 2023 general election ballot.</p><p>On August 14, 2023, the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office called an open press conference that included Spokane County Sheriff John Nowels; Spokane County Commissioner Mary Kuney; City of Spokane Mayor Nadine Woodward; City of Spokane Assistant Police Chief Justin Lundgren. The press conference opened with a 20-minute presentation and discussion from the four officials that included statements concerning Spokane County Proposition #1, as well as other Spokane County criminal justice and safety issues. That was followed by a 25 + minute segment in which the officials took questions from the “press” that was in attendance, providing answers about Proposition #1, as well as crime, drug issues and Spokane County’s correctional and jail facilities.</p><p>The September 8, 2023, response from Brian Coddington, the Mayor’s Chief of Staff, stated that Mayor Woodward has used recorded videos as “part of regular weekly communication” with City of Spokane citizens “through a series called "Walking with Woodward." He stated the mayor also had “a companion series” of videos entitled "In Woodward's Words", and those and other communication outreach efforts dated back up to four years. He stated that “the videos are posted on the mayor’s website and the City's Vimeo channel” and that subscribers and individuals who had signed up or opted in, are sent an email with a link to the videos or other message as individuals who have subscribed to receive those type of communications.</p><p>Mr. Coddington stated that the "Walking with Woodward" and the "In Woodward's Words" communications have resulted in dozens of videos being posted that discussed a wide variety of City of Spokane topics including “public works projects to public safety, neighborhoods, and business development.” He stated Mayor Woodward's comments she made in the press conference was included in a video, entitled "Mayor shares community, police experience" and he referred to “the Mayor’s message that the important part of Measure No. 1 is the citizens' opportunity to vote and to express their views.” He stated that Mayor Woodward did not encourage Spokane citizens “to vote a certain way on Measure No. 1” and that she expressed that “her administration's policy approach to public safety needs, improvements to the jail system, that included detention.”</p><p>The October 31, 2023, response from the Mayor’s Office to PDC staff included answers to staff questions and/or issues concerning the open press conference, that included the following statements. “The Spokane County Sheriff’s Department invited the Mayor to address the Community relating to Jail overcrowding issues and Measure 1”, and that the press conference was held in the Spokane County Sheriff’s conference room. “It is believed that this is the first ballot measure in the City or County that has occurred during Mayor Woodward’s term” in which she participated in a press conference. And that Mayor Woodward “prepared her own comments. It is unknown if the other participants prepared their own comments.”</p><p>In the response received from Lynden Smithson, Spokane City Attorney he stated that: “...Mayor Woodward references Measure 1 for about twenty seconds and even then, she only references the fact that the voters will get to make the decision by voting on the measure. Mayor Woodward did not advocate for or against Measure 1.” He stated that the “rest of the video consisted of Mayor Woodward discussing public safety concerns relating to jail capacity, incarceration and law enforcement, topics that are not exclusion [sic] to Measure 1, but instead are part of the municipal government administration.” When asked about Mayor Woodward’s normal and regular conduct to participate in this type of press conference, Mr. Smithson stated: “It is believed that this is the first ballot measure in the City or County that has occurred during Mayor Woodward’s term.”</p><p>Mr. Smithson added that he wanted to clarify that Assistant Spokane Police Chief Justin Lundgren was acting in his official capacity, and that the complaint filed with the PDC did “not make any reference or allegation toward Asst. Police Chief Lundgren.” He stated that Mayor Woodward's statements “made in the Walking with the Mayor video… consists of operational issues relating to jails, incarceration, law enforcement and other public safety issues facing the City of Spokane. He added that the mayor, as the executive officer for the city, was authorized to appear at an open press conference, make those kinds of comment and statements, and “that the statements were factual and did not reference supporting Measure 1.”</p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any enforcement action in this instance. </p><p>The "Walking with Woodward" and a companion series called "In Woodward's Words" has been used by the mayor’s office as part of its outreach and communication strategy with citizens dating back nearly four years. Those outreach efforts are part of the normal and regular conduct of the mayor’s office as one method to communicate with citizens. Thus, the Mayor’s office practice emailing of the video links of "Walking with Woodward" and "In Woodward's Words" did not violate RCW 42.17A.555. </p><p>The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). <br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1414500.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141450 City of Spokane Complaint Disposition Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6106/141450%20City%20of%20Spokane%20Complaint%20Disposition%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}, {"file_name" : "141450 City of Spokane Officials Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6106/141450%20City%20of%20Spokane%20Officials%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "141450 City of Spokane Officials Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141450 City of Spokane Officials Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6106/141450%20City%20of%20Spokane%20Officials%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]11/14/2023 03:45:54 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

(Nov 18)WAC 390-17-100, WAC 390-17-110, RCW 29B.40.230/42.17A.495Case Closed with Written WarningPolitical Committee - Union<div><p><span>The complaint alleged that United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 598, PDC Case 43672, Plumbers & Steamfitters Local 598 PAC, PDC Case 43673, and 35 employer/contractors, PDC Cases 43675-43709, may have violated RCW 42.17A.495, WAC 390-17-100, and WAC 390-17-110: (1) by failing to obtain a proper written request from employees before withholding wages or salaries for contributions to Plumbers & Steamfitters Local 598 PAC; and (2) by failing to provide an annual notification to employees who have requested payroll deductions for political contributions of their right to withdraw their request at any time, and of the prohibition against discrimination for not contributing. The statute and rules primarily apply to the employer/contractors, but also prohibit the union and the employer/contractors from discriminating against a union member who does not make political contributions.</span></p><div><br></div><p><span>Staff found that the current authorization form does not conform to the requirements in RCW 42.17A.495 and WAC 390-17-100, and that many of the employer/contractors have not been sending out the required annual notification to employees who have funds withheld for PAC contributions, as required by WAC 390-17-110. The employer/contractors rely on the union to provide an authorization form that complies with the law and rules. Staff made it clear what changes need to be made to the written authorization and annual notification. The union, working with and on behalf of the employer/contractors, has developed an authorization form and annual notification that meets the requirement of the statute and rules. The respondents have stated that they will incorporate the changes to the authorization form and annual notification.</span></p><div><br></div><div><span>Staff determined that, in this instance, the failure of the 35 employer/contractor respondents to fully comply with the law does not amount to an actual violation warranting further investigation. However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), the 35 employer/contractor respondents received a formal written warning concerning: (1) their failure to obtain a proper written request from employees before withholding wages or salaries for contributions to Plumbers & Steamfitters Local 598 PAC; and (2) their failure to provide an annual notification to employees who have requested payroll deductions for political contributions of their right to withdraw their request at any time, and of the prohibition against discrimination by the employer and the union for not contributing. The employer/contractors were informed that the Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.

The employer/contractors rely on the union to provide an authorization form that complies with the law and rules. Staff made it clear what changes need to be made to the written authorization and annual notification.

The facts for this case, PDC Case 97941, are only being addressed in this case description.</p><p>On March 2, 2021, William Broughton filed a Candidate Registration (C-1) report and selected the Full Reporting Option and listed Abby Somers as Ministerial Treasurer. This complaint alleged that the William Broughton Campaign failing to timely disclose an expenditure for the candidate filing fee.</p><p> On September 22, 2021, Ms. Somers stated in the response that the candidate decided to “contribute the filing fee to his campaign and I have updated the C-4 to reflect the expense.”</p><p>On September 22, 2021, the Campaign filed an amended May 2021 C-4 report, disclosing that $1,700 in monetary contributions had been received, and $2,929.98 in expenditures were made that included a $1,140 expenditure made to the Kitsap County Auditor’s Office on May 19, 2021 for the candidate filing fee. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff has determined that, in this instance the failure to timely disclose the candidate filing fee did not impact the public, and does not amount to a material violation warranting further investigation. William Broughton was a first-time candidate who was not familiar with the PDC requirements, and the Campaign was responsive and promptly amended the requested C-4 report as soon as this issue was brought to their attention. </p><p>However, William Broughton was reminded to timely disclose all contribution and expenditure activities, including the candidate filing fee for the remainder of the 2021 election and for future campaigns.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/979410.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Broughton, William Response to complaint PDC Case 97941.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4956/Broughton%2C%20William%20Response%20to%20complaint%20PDC%20Case%2097941.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "97941 Broughton William Complaint (2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4956/97941%20Broughton%20William%20Complaint%20%282%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Broughton, William Combined Complaint Return Letter (McDaniel) PDC Cases 97486 & 97941.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4956/Broughton%2C%20William%20Combined%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28McDaniel%29%20PDC%20Cases%2097486%20%26%2097941.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]09/28/2021 05:30:55 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

(EY '21; Aug '21)RCW 29B.25.060/42.17A.220Resolved with Technical CorrectionCandidate - Local<p>A complaint was filed against Stanley Tombs, a candidate for Sea-Tac City Council in 2021, alleging that the 2021 Stanley Tombs Campaign (Campaign) may have violated RCW 42.17A.220(4) by receiving and depositing anonymous contributions of more than the $300 statutory limitations. </p><p>On August 24, 2021, the Campaign filed a C-3 report disclosing $1,460 in monetary contributions had been deposited into the Campaign bank account on August 21, 2021, disclosing five monetary contributions of $25 or more totaling $850, and one $10 small un-itemized contribution. The C-3 report also disclosed $600 in anonymous monetary contributions had been received by the Campaign on August 11, 2021. <br><br>On September 21, 2021, the Campaign timely filed an amended C-3 report for the August 24, 2021 C-3 report, listing the same $850 in itemized contributors, but re-classifying the $600 in anonymous contributions and attributing those funds to two contributors. The amended C-3 report disclosed a $500 monetary contribution was received from Tom Dantzler on August 11, 2021, and a $100 monetary contribution was received from Joel Wactel on August 11, 2021. <br><br>On September 10, the Campaign filed a C-3 report disclosing $4,650 in total contributions that were all listed as being received and deposited into the Campaign bank account on August 27, 2021. The C-3 report disclosed the receipt of seven itemized contributions of more than $25 totaling $4,050 that included: (1) a $1,000 monetary contribution from the WA Association of Realtors; (2) two $750 monetary contributions from a couple; (3) two $500 monetary contributions from a couple; and (4) two $250 monetary contributions from a business and an individual. The C-3 report also disclosed that $600 in anonymous monetary contributions had been received and deposited into the Campaign bank account on August 27, 2021. <br><br>On September 21, 2021, the Campaign timely filed an amended C-3 report for the September 10, 2021 C-3 report, listing the same $4,050 in itemized monetary contributions received, however the amended information did not include the $600 in previously disclosed anonymous and the total deposit was only for $4,050. </p><p>The Campaign deleted the $600 in anonymous contributions in the Online Reporting of Campaign Activity (ORCA), since it was a duplicate of the $600 in anonymous contributions that had been incorrectly disclosed on the August 24, 2021 C-3 report. Sandra Bensley, Treasurer stated that the Campaign inadvertently double reported the $600 in anonymous contributions as having been received on August 11th and 27th respectively. </p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined, in this instance, the Campaign disclosed $600 in monetary contributions received as anonymous contributions on a C-3 report since they did not have the contributor information at the time the report was due. The Campaign then inadvertently duplicated the error by disclosing the same $600 in anonymous contributions on a subsequent C-3 report. </p><p>The $600 in itemized contributions that were ultimately listed on an amended C-3 report with contributor name, address and other information, were otherwise, timely disclosed contributions that does not amount to a violation warranting further investigation or any enforcement action. RCW 42.17A.005(52) defines "Technical correction" to mean “the correction of a minor or ministerial error in a required report that does not materially harm the public interest and needs to be corrected for the report to be in full compliance with the requirements of this chapter.” </p><p>The 2021 Stanley Tombs Campaign made minor or ministerial errors on two C-3 reports filed in late August and early September of 2021 that initially included the reporting of anonymous contributions. The contributions were received and reported after the 2021 primary election, and the Campaign timely filed amended C-3 reports well before the 2021 general election identifying the source of the contributions. Thus, the reporting discrepancy did not materially impact the public. </p><p>Upon notification of the error, the Campaign made the necessary technical corrections as requested by staff by filing two amended C-3 reports to bring the Campaign back into compliance and identifying the source of the $600 in anonymous contributions received. The PDC has dismissed this matter as a technical correction in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/979470.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Emailed responses from 2021 Stanley Tombs Campaign.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4957/Emailed%20responses%20from%202021%20Stanley%20Tombs%20Campaign.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Tombs, Stanley Complaint Return Letter as Technical Correction (Ojeda) PDC Case 97947.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4957/Tombs%2C%20Stanley%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20as%20Technical%20Correction%20%28Ojeda%29%20PDC%20Case%2097947.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "97947 Tombs Jr Stanley Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4957/97947%20Tombs%20Jr%20Stanley%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]10/15/2021 11:46:06 AMPDC staff resolved case after correction of minor or ministerial error.

The manner in which this information was initially disclosed on reports gave the erroneous impression that the candidate's campaign had exceeded the Mini Reporting limits, when in fact it had not. </p><p>The Respondent's campaign worked with PDC staff to amend the reported information, making the necessary technical corrections, and the change from Mini to Full Reporting was approved by the PDC on 8/27/21.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/978500.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "97850 Bird Misipati Semi Complaint Return.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4954/97850%20Bird%20Misipati%20Semi%20Complaint%20Return.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "97850 Bird Misipati Semi Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4954/97850%20Bird%20Misipati%20Semi%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]11/04/2021 05:46:45 PMPDC staff resolved case after correction of minor or ministerial error.

In addition, staff found no evidence that Mr. Harem engaged in campaign activities requiring disclosure under RCW 42.17A.235 or .240.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely file the C-1 and F-1 reports as a 2021 candidate within two weeks of declaring candidacy does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>PDC staff reminded Joshua Harem about the importance of the timely registration and disclosure of all contribution and expenditure activities, personal financial information, and the timely filings of all future PDC reports in accordance with the statutes and rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/946890.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "94689 Harem Joshua Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4463/94689%20Harem%20Joshua%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "94689 Harem Joshua Reminder Letter - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4463/94689%20Harem%20Joshua%20Reminder%20Letter%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "94689 Harem Joshua Reminder Letter - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4463/94689%20Harem%20Joshua%20Reminder%20Letter%20-%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]09/03/2021 02:34:25 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.
596013928106/27/202306/26/202308/02/2023GEOFFREY CHISMCorina PfeilPfeil, Corina: Alleged Violations of RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 for failure to timely & accurately disclose expenditures & contributions on reports (EY23, July23)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsCandidate - Local<p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and evidence provided; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to decide whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p> Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>The Respondent filed a Candidate Registration (C-1) on October 20, 2022, amended 6/20/23, showing Full Reporting. The 2023 re-election campaign start date was October 20, 2022, and the candidate filed a declaration of candidacy on May 15, 2023.</li><li>According to the complaint, and confirmed by the Respondent, yard signs were used in the 2019 campaign and re-purposed in the 2023 campaign that show support for the Respondent and at the bottom of the signs was included “Paid For By Badass Feminists of Kenmore.”</li><li>In the response, the Respondent named Sharon Williams as the supporter responsible for buying the signs in 2019. The campaign reporting also identified Sharon Williams as being responsible for having bought the signs from Overnight Printing Seattle and made an in-kind donation of those signs to the 2019 Corina Pfeil campaign. Staff reviewed the 2019 C4 report #100950458 and confirmed the in-kind donation made by the campaign supporter. As well, the 2023 Corina Pfeil for Kenmore campaign documented the re-use of the campaign signs in her current re-election campaign on C4 #110152703. The reporting of the yard signs as a contribution follows WAC 390-05-210 and PDC guidance. The evidence does not support a finding of a violation of RCW 42.17A.235 or .240.</li><li>Sharon Williams was the contributor of the 2019 yards signs in the campaign reporting for 2019 and Corina Pfeil is identified as the contributor of the re-purposed yard signs in the campaign reporting for 2023. The evidence does not support a finding of a violation of RCW 42.17A.435.</li><li>Because Williams consulted with the candidate on the purchase of the signs and contributed them to the campaign, the expenditure does not meet the definition of an independent expenditure under RCW 42.17A.005</li><li>To the allegation that RCW 42.17A.320 was violated, in this instance, per the statute in subsection (7), political yard signs are exempt from the requirements of sponsor identification. Although the yard signs submitted as evidence with the complaint included a “paid for” message that was confusing, the signs were of a size that they did not require sponsor ID. In the future, sponsor ID with the potential to confuse or mislead the public should be avoided.</li><li>Staff determined there is no entity registered with the PDC called “Badass Feminists of Kenmore.” Upon questioning, the Respondent identified Sharon Williams as part of a married couple who self-identify using the slogan. Per RCW 42.17A.005(41) a Political Committee is “any person (except a candidate or person dealing with the candidate’s or individuals own funds or property) having the expectation of receiving contributions or making expenditures in support of, or opposition to, any candidate or any ballot proposition.” In that Sharon Williams is an individual using their own personal funds in support of the Respondent, they do not qualify as an entity that must register with the PDC as a political committee; therefore, the evidence does not support a finding of a violation of RCW 42.17A.205. Further, the campaign reporting shows, an individual, Sharon Williams as responsible for the donation of the signs, therefore the Respondent, as the candidate, did not establish, control, or use more than one political committee. The evidence does not support a finding of a violation of RCW 42.17A.440.</li></ul><p>PDC staff has determined, in this instance, the alleged violations ofRCW 42.17A.205, .235, .240, .320, .435, and .440 due to campaign signs in support of the Respondent that show sponsorship by an unregistered entity calling itself the “Badass Feministsof Kenmore” does not amount to a violation warranting further investigation.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1) and WAC 390-37-060(1)(a).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1392810.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "139281 Pfeil_Corina Response(3).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5960/139281%20Pfeil_Corina%20Response%283%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "139281 Pfeil_Corina Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5960/139281%20Pfeil_Corina%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "139281 Pfeil_Corina Response(2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5960/139281%20Pfeil_Corina%20Response%282%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "139281 Pfeil Corina Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5960/139281%20Pfeil%20Corina%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "139281 Pfeil_Corina Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5960/139281%20Pfeil_Corina%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/02/2023 11:08:05 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

(EY '21; Aug '21)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240, RCW 29B.55.010/42.17A.700, RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - Local<p>A complaint was filed against Brian Wiklem, a 2021 write-in candidate for the office of Mayor of Camas, alleging he may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.205 by failing to timely file a candidate registration; and (2) RCW 42.17A.700 for failing to file a Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report), both due within two weeks of announcing his write-in candidacy or making an expenditure in support of his candidacy. </p><p>On September 3, 2021, Brian Wiklem filed a candidate registration declaring his candidacy as a write-in candidate for Mayor of Camas in the 2021 election, selecting the Mini Reporting option, and listing himself as Treasurer. Mr. Wiklem was a first-time candidate for public office in 2021.</p><p>Mr. Wiklem stated the Campaign website was not launched in July as alleged in the complaint, but instead he merely registered the domain name in July of 2021. He stated the website did not go public or live until later in August. <br><br>On September 14, 2021, Mr. Wiklem stated that he was “no longer running as a write in candidate. My website (fixcamas.com) has removed all traces of myself as a write-in candidate (and has transitioned into a blog) and I've also begun removing signs.” <br><br>Mr. Wiklem stated that his Campaign expenditures for his brief write-in candidacy totaled $344.12, and those Campaign activities included: (1) website registration for fixcamas.com (Godaddy, $53.95); (2) Printed signs for fixcamas.com (Gotprint, $237.42); and (3) website construction (Fiverr, $52.75). He stated he used personal funds to pay for all his Campaign expenditures, he did not solicit or receive any contributions, and that the Fixcamas.com is still up and running. He removed all information related to his write-in candidacy from the website in early September, and stated his Campaign website was “only live for 4 weeks from early August to early September.” <br><br>Mr. Wiklem discontinued his campaign prior to filing an F-1 report. Staff reviewed the November 2, 2021, general election results posted by Clark County Elections and found Steve Hogan received 3,644 votes, Jennifer Senescu received 2,690 votes, and there were 19 write-in votes cast for Mayor for the City of Camas as of November 8, 2021. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff has determined in this instance that Mr. Wiklem was a first-time candidate for public office who conducted a short-term write-in candidacy for Mayor of Camas between the August 3, 2021, primary election, and the November 2, 2021, general election. PDC staff does not believe these facts amount to a material violation warranting further investigation or any enforcement action. PDC staff will be sending Brian Wiklem a letter reminding him about the importance of timely filing a candidate registration and a Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) within two weeks of declaring his candidacy in the future, even for a write-in candidacy. <br><br>Based on this information, the PDC dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). <br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/980340.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Email responses from Brian Wiklem (PDC Case 98034).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4964/Email%20responses%20from%20Brian%20Wiklem%20%28PDC%20Case%2098034%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Wiklem, Brian Complaint Return Letter with Reminder Ltr (PDC Case 97875).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4964/Wiklem%2C%20Brian%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20with%20Reminder%20Ltr%20%28PDC%20Case%2097875%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "98034 Wiklem Brian Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4964/98034%20Wiklem%20Brian%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]11/09/2021 11:34:23 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

During the 2019 Legislative Session, legislation was proposed, House Bill 1176 and Senate Bill 5443, that if approved would make BORPELS an independent state agency responsible for its own budget and administrative functions. </p><p>On December 12, 2019, PDC staff held an Initial Hearing (Case status review) pursuant to RCW 42.17A.755, and WACs 390-37-060 and 390-37-071, and opened a formal investigation concerning this matter. </p><p>Staff's investigation found that Mr. Fuller sent out emails using his BORPELS computer, state email address, and on state time that were either cc’d or emailed directly to individuals and organizations outside the permitted BORPELS communication channels in violation of RCW 42.17A.635. While some of the emails were also sent or cc’d to BORPELS Board members, the emails contained “calls to action” and indirect lobbying appeals to contact legislators outside the agency’s normal communication email channel for lobbying as detailed in the Report of Investigation. </p><p>In the responses to the allegations and staff's inquiries, Mr. Fuller estimated that “he spent 20 hours during the 2019 legislative session preparing and sending emails to non-BORPELS members requesting that they contact legislators or the Governor’s office to express support for pending legislation, SB 5443 and HB 1176. The estimated time includes direct emails Mr. Fuller sent to non-BORPELS members, as well as cc’d copies to non-BORPELS members of emails that were primarily directed to BORPELS members, and also included the time spent Mr. Fuller developing those communications such as preparing sample communications to send to legislators and legislative member email address lists. </p><p>Mr. Fuller estimated that he had an additional two hours of telephone conversations during the 2019 session requesting that non-BORPELS members contact legislators or the Governor’s office in support of the two bills. He stated he believed this was the extent “for sake of argument, the PDC could consider indirect lobbying” and the emails provided "general information and answered others’ questions about the impact of the legislative proposals, but this was not connected with any request for legislative support and thus is not indirect lobbying.” </p><p>The legislation was overwhelmingly approved during the 2019 Legislative Session, and BORPELS is an independent state agency with its own administrative, budget and management authority.</p><p>Mr. Fuller stated <i>“I understand the complaint…also alleged that I acted improperly by directly lobbying legislators and the Governor's office in support of HB 1176 and SB 5443. All such direct lobbying was for official purposes and through official channels and was thus lawful. “The complaint filed also alleged that I engaged in a grass roots lobbying campaign… My conduct did not amount to such a violation, because no covered expenditures were made to present a program to the public within the meaning of the section. Last, the complaint filed alleged that I personally benefited from the proposed legislation and abused my authority to negotiate with private organizations in exchange for their legislative support." </i></p><p><i>“There is no merit to these allegations. I hereby enter this (SOU) with respect to indirect lobbying violations in consideration of and with the understanding that the PDC will close the complaint with no findings of violation with respect to the other complaint allegations. Concurrent herewith, I am also executing a Statement of Understanding as it relates to the failure of BORPELS to timely file lobbying reports for Q1/2019 and Q2/2019, which the PDC raised on its own initiative in the course of investigating the complaint.”</i></p><p>On April 24, 2020, PDC received a completed Statement Of Understanding (SOU) and a $150 civil penalty payment from Ken Fuller.

While no city resources were used in the distribution of the September 2023 email or the subsequent gathering, and the Respondent took steps to distinguish the communication, the average recipient of the message might have understandably concluded that the invitation was part of the respondent’s ongoing official city correspondence related to the Respondent official capacity as a sitting city council member. </p><p>Based on staff’s findings, a formal warning was issued to the Respondent in this matter and this matter dismissed by the PDC staff in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1429310.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "142931 Jeni Woock Complaint Disposition Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6234/142931%20Jeni%20Woock%20Complaint%20Disposition%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "142931 Woock Jeni Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6234/142931%20Woock%20Jeni%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "142931 Woock Jeni Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "142931 Woock Jeni Complaint Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6234/142931%20Woock%20Jeni%20Complaint%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]07/19/2024 06:29:15 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

In addition, WAC 390-05-271(2) states that “RCW 42.17A.555 does not prevent a public office or agency from… (b) making an objective and fair presentation of facts relevant to a ballot proposition, if such action is part of the normal and regular conduct of the office or agency."</p><p>Staff reviewed the September 18, and October 1, 2020, versions of the FAQ which provided information concerning: (1) why the Newcastle City Council felt a three percent utility tax was needed at this time; (2) the cities revenue forecast projected future budget shortfalls; (3) that the City of Newcastle was one of only three municipalities in King County without a utility tax; (4) which at utilities would be subject to the utility tax and how the utility tax would be applied; and (5) the impacts of approving and rejecting the utility tax. </p><p>The FAQ information discussed the city currently has three primary sources of revenue, property and sales taxes, and development fees, that the costs of city services, are rising especially for public safety like police and fire departments, and the existing revenues are not adequate to keep pace. The FAQ stated: (1) the three percent tax would apply to electricity and natural gas, water, sewer, garbage, cable TV and phone voice fees; (2) the average household in the City of Newcastle would pay between $8 to $14 per month in utility fees; (3) cable internet, stormwater, mobile phone text, data and non-voice fees were not subject to the utility tax; and (4) that if Referendum 2 was approved, the utility tax was estimated to generate approximately $880,000 in revenue annually, to pay for fire and police services and the projected costs increases for those contracted services in the future. </p><p>The FAQ stated if Referendum 2 was rejected, <i>“it is projected that the City will have an approximately $1 million shortfall in the 2021 budget alone and will need to consider cutting public safety (police and fire) and other services."</i></p><p>Dawn Reitan, an attorney with Inslee Best submitted the response on behalf of the City of Newcastle stating that the complainants did not discuss the "normal and regular" exemption found in the statute RCW 42.17A.555, the PDC rules and interpretation which provides the City of Newcastle with the authority to post the FAQ information about Referendum 2. She included Attachment 6 to the response letter which listed the city’s “News Items Dealing with Utility Tax, Budget or Fiscal Sustainability” that included information dating back to March 20, 2018 to present. </p><p>Ms. Reitan stated that the City of Newcastle was not required to provide information in the FAQ about other financial alternatives to the utility tax, as noted by the complainants who were opposed to the utility taxes, and who “preferred alternatives to addressing fiscal sustainability.” She stated that the FAQ provided fair and objective information to citizens about the City of Newcastle proposed utility taxes, that the information was consistent with the Ordinance findings the Fiscal Sustainability Plan, and the 2020 budget adopted by the City Council which forecasted deficit spending. </p><p>Ms. Rietan stated that the FAQ provided information related to the potential impacts to the City of Newcastle operations if the Ordinance is approved or rejected under the Referendum, and added that the information included in the FAQ was consistent with PDC Guidelines found in PDC Interpretation #04-02, and the information distributed informed residents of the City of Newcastle public safety needs and costs.</p><p>Staff found that the content of the two versions of the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) concerning the City of Newcastle’s Referendum 2, to be a fair and objective presentation of the facts. The FAQ was part of the cities normal and regular conduct for communicating information about the maintenance and operations of the city to its residents. In addition, the two versions of the FAQ were produced and distributed in accordance with PDC Interpretation #04-02 Guidelines for Local Government Agencies in Election Campaigns.</p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance.

We exchanged email addresses for communication purposes, and that was the beginning of the NW email list.” </i> NW is not a regularly scheduled publication, there are no subscribers or members, and she and Mr. Erxleben randomly distribute information by email as issues and/or needs arise. </p><p>Ms. Coston stated that since June 2, 2020, “our position papers have focused on the City's budget deficit, PDC RCW violations by the City Manager, and the money behind a well-funded Newcastle PAC supporting the utility tax.” She stated that NW’s most recent position paper is entitled “FAQ’s Not Found on Newcastle City’s Website” which was distributed on October 23, 2020. </p><p>Ms. Coston stated NW is a group of Newcastle residents who spend and use their own personal funds and resources to promote NW.Ms. Coston stated a local resident created a NW Facebook page where people can subscribe to our email list, and in 2020 a resident assisted her in setting up an email service with MailChimp for $55 a month, which expires at the end of each month. She stated other citizens have also assisted in helping pay for the monthly email service to continue and added that is the only ongoing NW expense. She stated after the City of Newcastle’s June 2, 2020 passage of the utility tax, citizens circulated petitions and collected 1,138 signatures to force a referendum, and that NW communicated with residents and provided links to residents concerning registering to vote, voting and how to track their ballot.</p><p>Ms. Coston stated that NW informed citizens how to obtain a copy of the referendum petition, the city ordinance, and <i>“informed citizens how to gather signatures in compliance with city requirements. Then, we informed citizens that 1665 signatures were submitted to city hall and later, we informed citizens that King County Elections placed Referendum 2 on the ballot.” </i></p><p>Ms. Coston stated that the complaint filed with the PDC included <i>“copies of fliers printed by citizens, distributed by citizens, and email communications distributed free via Gmail and social media.” .” She stated that the complaint filed with the PDC included “copies of fliers printed by citizens, distributed by citizens, and email communications distributed free via Gmail and social media.” </i>She<i> </i>stated those activities were not undertaken by NW, that NW did not make expenditures or pool any monies with any individuals to assist in any of those activities and added NW “did not print nor distribute any petitions concerning Referendum 2.” She stated NW did not incur any expenses for the petitions, and that <i>“As a private citizen, expressing free speech rights, I collected a few signatures, but not many, for I was busy monitoring city council meetings and answering questions from citizens.”</i> </p><p>Ms. Coston stated concerning the Glen Morgan/We the Governed digital publication entitled “Is the City of Newcastle on an Unsustainable Financial Path” that it was an issues-oriented publication which did not mention any candidates or ballot propositions. Staff reviewed the August 31, 2020, publication produced and narrated by Mr. Morgan which began by stating “Newcastle Citizens are concerned about the City of Newcastle’s tax increase proposals and unsustainable spending”, and discussed he had been born and raised in Newcastle on a 20-acre parcel/farm.</p><p>The publication went on to state the following: “<i><strong>In Newcastle today, the bloat of bureaucracy is ascendant</strong>, and (as always) they want to raise taxes to cover their unsustainable expansion. A city like Newcastle has only one viable sustainable option – keep taxes low by restraining the bloat of bureaucracy. Don’t hire more central planners, stop hiring consultants for every whim and fancy the City Manager cooks up, and reduce the paid staff to the bare minimum.” </i>Mr. Morgan stated that the City of Newcastle contracts with the City of Bellevue for fire and police services, and the City of Mercer Island for district court services, and added that there was <i>“no need for a large paid staff, yet the bureaucracy from the City Manager to the feeding frenzy of consultants are always pushing for more hires, more plans, and more escalating costs.” </i>While critical of the City of Newcastle and its elected officials, the information did not support or oppose any candidates.</p><p>Staff also reviewed a document entitled “FAQ’s Not Found on Newcastle City’s Website” which she indicated was NW most recent position paper, and staff’s review found the document did not state, reference or infer that recipients should either vote yes or no on Referendum 2. The FAQ began with the question of “Are Newcastle property taxes high, and then compared the property taxes on a $700,000 home in Newcastle with that of Bellevue, Renton and Issaquah, which staff noted was not a fair or balanced comparison. The FAQ went on to discuss the City Newcastle’s taxes, the utility tax, and that the Newcastle Golf Club is the city’s largest employer, and whether or not the Golf Club was paying “...its fair share of taxes.” </p><p>The FAQ also discussed the salary of the Newcastle City Manager and compared his salary with that of the Renton City Administrator, the Bellevue City Manager, and Governor Inslee. The FAQ did mention that the “Friends for Newcastle PAC” were supporting the utility tax and that the committee about 30 people, that included four of the councilmembers who voted for the utility tax. The FAQ stated one of their political advertisements stated, “that the opposition to the utility tax was from a small group of anti-tax activists” and questioned whether or not that was true. The FAQ discussed the city’s 2021 budget, and that if the utility tax is defeated “the preliminary plan is the deplete the general fund reserve to cover the deficit rather than make any cuts.”</p><p>No evidence was found that NW solicited or accepted contributions in order to make expenditures in support of any candidate or ballot proposition, including Referendum 2 and thus did not meet the definition of a political committee in accordance with RCW 42.17A or WAC 390. Staff’s review of the 2020 FAQ sponsored by Newcastle Watchdog and the publication “Is the City of Newcastle on an Unsustainable Financial Path” by Mr. Morgan found that the content did not indicate opposition or a “No Vote” for Referendum 2. The NW position papers previously posted or distributed by Newcastle Watchdog while critical of some of the City of Newcastle policies, elected officials, and budgetary decisions, those papers did not directly appear to support or oppose any candidate or ballot proposition. </p><p>Based on this information, PDC staff found no evidence that would constitute a material violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any enforcement action in this instance.

30265029704/12/201904/11/201906/12/2019Robert L Fiedler, Glenn AshInternational Association of Firefighters Local 1983International Association of Firefighters Local 1983: Alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.555 by using public facilities to promote a ballot measure. (Apr 2019)RCW 29B.45.010/42.17A.555Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsPolitical Committee - Union<p>This case alleged that International Association of Firefighters Local 1983 (the "Respondent") may have violated RCW 42.17A.555 by using public facilities (Mt. Vernon Fire Department's address) to promote a ballot measure (advertisement supporting Prop 1 fire bond).</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations, applicable statutes, rules and reporting requirements, and the responses provided by the Respondent to determine whether they supported a finding of one or more violations. Staff's review found the following: </p><p>The Respondent sponsored a political ad supporting Prop 1 fire bond that included an address of "1901 N LaVenture, ATTN Union Mail Box, Mount Vernon, WA 98273," the address used by the City of Mt. Vernon Fire Dept., its administrative staff, and Fire Station 2. The mailer clearly identified the Respondent as its sponsor, as required under RCW 42.17A.320, and included a specific reference to the union's mailbox. The Respondent timely filed the necessary C-6 reports with the PDC, disclosing its independent expenditures pertaining to Prop 1. </p><p>RCW 42.17A.555 prohibits elected officials and employees of public offices and agencies from using or authorizing the use of public office/agency facilities to promote or oppose any ballot proposition. Activities exempted from this prohibition include, but are not limited to, activities that are "part of the normal and regular conduct of the office or agency." However, whereas a union is not an elected official or public employee, it cannot violate RCW 42.17A.555.</p><p> The Respondent stated it has maintained a mailbox at 1901 N LaVenture Rd Mt. Vernon, WA 98273 for approximately 20 years and such access is a prevailing right under its collective bargaining agreement with the City of Mt. Vernon. The Respondent indicated that the mailer was created by union members during non-work hours on personal, home computers and sent to a printer via personal email. The Respondent also indicated that "no materials were created or distributed at or from any facility at any time and no campaign activity took place outside of regularly scheduled union meetings." </p><p>As a public agency, the City of Mt. Vernon is subject to RCW 42.17A.555. However, the city's practice of allowing the Respondent to use a mailbox located at its fire station appears to be normal and regular conduct for the city under WAC 390-05-273 because the activity is lawful, authorized by the city, and usual (not extraordinary) given the fact that the Respondent has received correspondence of all kinds via the mailbox for several years. </p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff determined that the Respondent's use of a mailbox located on city property - and the disclosure of this address in political advertising - does not amount to a violation warranting further investigation. The PDC found that no further action was warranted and dismissed the matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/502970.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "50297 Intl Assoc of Firefighters Local 1983 Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3026/50297%20Intl%20Assoc%20of%20Firefighters%20Local%201983%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "50297 Int'l Assoc of Firefigthers Local 1983 Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3026/50297%20Int%27l%20Assoc%20of%20Firefigthers%20Local%201983%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "50297 Intl Assoc of Firefighters Local 1983 Complaint 2.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3026/50297%20Intl%20Assoc%20of%20Firefighters%20Local%201983%20Complaint%202.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "50297 Intl Assoc of Firefighters Local 1983 Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3026/50297%20Intl%20Assoc%20of%20Firefighters%20Local%201983%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "50297 Intl Assoc of Firefighters Local 1983 Supplemental Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3026/50297%20Intl%20Assoc%20of%20Firefighters%20Local%201983%20Supplemental%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]06/17/2019 11:20:49 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.
37217727209/18/202009/18/202011/23/2020Joe HyerGary EdwardsEdwards, Gary: Alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.320 and .555 for failure to identify sponsor on political advertising, and by using public facilities for an election campaign. (EY '20; Sep '20)RCW 29B.30.050/42.17A.320, RCW 29B.45.010/42.17A.555Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the two complaints filed on September 18, 2020 and October 8, 2020. The complaints alleged that Gary Edwards, an incumbent Thurston County Commissioner, District 2 and candidate in the 2020 election, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to identify the sponsor on a political advertisement video; (2) RCW 42.17A.555 by using public facilities for an election campaign; and (3) RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to disclose the sponsor's address on a political advertisement mailer.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by Gary Edwards (the “Respondent”); PDC Interpretation 04-02; and the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Gary Edwards is a current elected official and was re-elected in the November 3, 2020 general election. It appears that his failure to disclose a complete sponsor identification for an online political advertisement video and a mailer sponsored by his campaign, was inadvertent and not meant to conceal the sponsor from the public. Although Commissioner Edwards responded promptly to the complaint and made the necessary corrections to the online video, staff found that the limited sponsor information originally included in the online video was vague and could have been misconstrued as an independent expenditure done by a third party rather than by the Edwards Campaign. </p><p>Staff found that the lack of an address on the mailer, although required, did not generally create confusion as to the sponsor of the advertisement.

37547894710/08/202010/08/202011/23/2020Joe HyerCommittee to Elect Gary EdwardsCommittee to Elect Gary Edwards: Alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to disclose sponsor's address on political advertising mailer. (EY '20; Oct '20)RCW 29B.30.050/42.17A.320Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the two complaints filed on September 18, 2020 and October 8, 2020. The complaints alleged that Gary Edwards, an incumbent Thurston County Commissioner, District 2 and candidate in the 2020 election, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to identify the sponsor on a political advertisement video; (2) RCW 42.17A.555 by using public facilities for an election campaign; and (3) RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to disclose the sponsor's address on a political advertisement mailer.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by Gary Edwards (the “Respondent”); PDC Interpretation 04-02; and the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Gary Edwards is a current elected official and was re-elected in the November 3, 2020 general election. It appears that his failure to disclose a complete sponsor identification for an online political advertisement video and a mailer sponsored by his campaign, was inadvertent and not meant to conceal the sponsor from the public. Although Commissioner Edwards responded promptly to the complaint and made the necessary corrections to the online video, staff found that the limited sponsor information originally included in the online video was vague and could have been misconstrued as an independent expenditure done by a third party rather than by the Edwards Campaign. </p><p>Staff found that the lack of an address on the mailer, although required, did not generally create confusion as to the sponsor of the advertisement. However, staff noted that the sponsor name originally used on the mailer did not match the name identified on the C-1 report until the C-1 was amended.</p><p>Finally, staff found the prompt response and remedy to remove visual images of Commissioner Edwards’ official Thurston County name plate from the video was sufficient in this instance.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to include the full required sponsor identification in an online video advertisement and mailer, and the limited use of an official name plate in a video advertisement, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Gary Edwards will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to disclosure the required sponsor name and address in an online video advertisement produced and distributed by his campaign. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Mr. Edwards will review all future political advertisements prior to their distribution to ensure they include the required sponsor information. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>PDC staff is also reminding Mr. Edwards about the importance of including a complete and accurate sponsor identification on written political advertisements and the prohibitions against the use of public facilities to support or oppose election campaigns, in accordance with the statutes and rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/789470.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "78947 Edwards Gary RESPONSE.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3754/78947%20Edwards%20Gary%20RESPONSE.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "78947 Committee to Elect Gary Edwards Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3754/78947%20Committee%20to%20Elect%20Gary%20Edwards%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "77272 & 78947 Edwards Gary Warning Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3754/77272%20%26%2078947%20Edwards%20Gary%20Warning%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]11/23/2020 08:31:53 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The statute and rules primarily apply to the employer/contractors, but also prohibit the union and the employer/contractors from discriminating against a union member who does not make political contributions.</span></p><div><br></div><p><span>Staff found that the current authorization form does not conform to the requirements in RCW 42.17A.495 and WAC 390-17-100, and that many of the employer/contractors have not been sending out the required annual notification to employees who have funds withheld for PAC contributions, as required by WAC 390-17-110. The employer/contractors rely on the union to provide an authorization form that complies with the law and rules. Staff made it clear what changes need to be made to the written authorization and annual notification.

502910017110/25/202110/25/202112/16/2021Richard D. Erwin, Jr. and IAFF Local 1762Seth LandauLandau, Seth: Alleged Violation of RCW 42.17A.255, .260 for failure to timely and accurately disclose independent expenditure or electioneering communication expenditures on C-6 report (EY 21, Oct 21)RCW 29B.25.120/42.17A.255, RCW 29B.25.130/42.17A.260Case Closed with Written WarningIndependent Expenditure Sponsor<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint Richard Erwin filed on October 25, 2021 and the complaint filed by, Danielle Franco-Malone, an attorney with Barnard Iglitzin & Lavitt LLP., on November 10, 2021. Staff reviewed the complaint filed by Ms. Franco-Malone and, finding the allegations similar and related to the same two political advertisements already being investigated under the original complaint filed by Mr. Erwin, merged the two complaints and notified Ms. Franco-Malone of this action on November 12, 2021. The complaints alleged that Seth Landau, a sponsor of an independent expenditure advertisement, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.255 & .260 for failure to timely and accurately disclose independent expenditures on a C-6 report; and (2) RCW 42.17A.320 by failing to include proper sponsor identification on political advertisements sponsored by him.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the responses provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Regarding the late C-6 filing, it appears that this was likely due to Mr. Landau’s technical difficulties with the C-6 filing application. Staff noted, however, that Mr. Landau successfully filed a C-6 report in calendar year 2019 after encountering the same technical issue. Concerning the missing sponsor identification, staff found no evidence that Mr. Landau purposely failed to include complete sponsor identification on two political advertisements he sponsored that appeared in the same newspaper one week apart or that he otherwise attempted to mislead the public.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, submittal of a C-6 report disclosing an independent expenditure two days late and failure to include required sponsor identification on two political advertisements does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Seth Landau will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely disclose independent expenditures within five days and failure to include full sponsor identification on a political advertisement sponsored by him. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Mr. Landau timely files all future required reports of independent expenditures and that he ensures the required sponsor id is included on political advertisements he sponsors. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1001710.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "100171 Landau Seth Warning Letter - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5029/100171%20Landau%20Seth%20Warning%20Letter%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "100171 Landau Seth Warning Letter - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5029/100171%20Landau%20Seth%20Warning%20Letter%20-%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "100171 Landau Seth Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5029/100171%20Landau%20Seth%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "100171 Landau Seth Supplemental Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5029/100171%20Landau%20Seth%20Supplemental%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "100171 Landau Seth Complaint 2.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5029/100171%20Landau%20Seth%20Complaint%202.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "100171 Landau Seth Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5029/100171%20Landau%20Seth%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]12/16/2021 01:58:50 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaints alleged that 509 Forward, a continuing political committee registered with the PDC during calendar year 2021 may have violated RCW 42.17.320 by failing to include a contributor (e.g. Lisa Brown) that contributed more than $1,000 in the Top Five contributor sponsor identification requirements for an independent expenditure advertisement.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Melanie Klitzke on behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the Committee was aware of the “Top Five Contributors” requirement for independent expenditures and electioneering communications and included an accurate disclaimer at the time the postcard was submitted to a third-party vendor for publication which was prior to date the Lisa Brown for Congress contribution was received.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1000260.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "100026 509 Forward Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5018/100026%20509%20Forward%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "100026 509 Forward Complaint Return Letter - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5018/100026%20509%20Forward%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20-%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "100026 509 Forward Complaint Return Letter - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5018/100026%20509%20Forward%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}, {"file_name" : "100026 509 Forward Complaint 2.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5018/100026%20509%20Forward%20Complaint%202.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "100026 509 Forward Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5018/100026%20509%20Forward%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]03/12/2024 02:34:56 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

Jody Hodgson is the Treasurer for the committee.</li><li>Per RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, under the Full Reporting option, a committee is required to disclose contribution and expenditure information by submitting Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports and Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports to the PDC. The Committee’s due dates for the C-3 and C-4 reports are determined by its activity and participation in the election cycle.<ul><li>RCW 42.17A.235(3)(a) indicates a C-4 report is due each month “if the committee has received a contribution or made an expenditure in the preceding calendar month and either the total contributions received, or the total expenditures made since the last such report exceed $750.” </li></ul></li><li>The committee filed a C-4 report on December 7, 2023, for the period 04/01/23 – 10/31/23. The committee should have filed a C-4 report by July 10, 2023, for the preceding months, and a C-4 report by November 10, 2023, for the preceding months, because contributions received during these periods exceeded the $750 threshold. </li><li>The 21-day pre-election C-4 was due on January 23, 2024. The committee filed a C-4 for the period 12/1/23 – 02/05/24, on January 28, 2024 (amended on February 9, 2024). The report was five days late. </li><li>The 7-day pre-election C-4, due on February 6, 2024, was filed as part of the 21-day report. Campaigns may not “pre-file” reports in this manner. The reporting period cannot be amended in the Online Reporting of Campaign Activity (ORCA) system.</li><li>The post-election C-4, due on March 11, 2024, was filed timely.</li><li>The Respondent does not have other similar warnings of PDC requirements. </li></ul><p>Based on our case review staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), showing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the February 2024 Special Election committee, does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, the Committee to Support Deer Park Schools will receive a formal written warning concerning the requirements under RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), showing contributions and expenditures undertaken by a political committee. Staff expects the committee, moving forward, to file accurate and timely reports of contributions and expenditures in the ORCA system. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1479150.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "147915 Committee to Support Deer Park Schools Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6376/147915%20Committee%20to%20Support%20Deer%20Park%20Schools%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "147915 Committee to Support Deer Park Schools Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6376/147915%20Committee%20to%20Support%20Deer%20Park%20Schools%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]06/18/2025 10:42:53 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

In review of the complaint, PDC staff added alleged violations of .255, .260 or .305 and .320 for failure to timely report independent expenditures or electioneering communication and identify sponsor on political advertising. </p><p>RCW 42.17A.205 requires a person, group, club, organization, or collection of individuals (except an individual using their own funds) that expects to receive contributions or make expenditures in support of or opposition to any candidate or ballot measure to register with the PDC. </p><p>PDC staff contacted John Johanson once staff determined Johanson created the website votenobondandlevy.com. There are no 2023 or 2024 contributions from John Johanson listed in PDC reports. RCW 42.17A.205 excludes an individual using their own funds from registration requirements.</p><p>RCW 42.17A.320 requires all written political advertising to include the name and address of the sponsor, and this information must be set apart from any other printed matter. WAC 390-18-010 indicates that all advertising must clearly state that it has been paid for by the sponsor. Johanson noted they updated the text once notified of the requirement. </p><p>RCW 42.17A.255, .260, .305 and .320 require registration for expenditure that supports or opposes a candidate or ballot measure and is made without the consultation or cooperation of the campaign it benefits. Known as independent expenditures or electioneering communications, these become reportable once reaching $1,000 in value. In response to the allegation, Johanson stated they spent less than $1,000 of their own funds, noting they “spent about $750 of my own money to purchase yard signs, which I designed myself” and “spent about $100 on registering the website domain and a 3 month subscription for the website building platform.”</p><p>Because of the information provided, PDC staff determined Johanson had no registration requirements under RCW 42.17A.255, .260, .305 or .320.</p><p>Staff has determined that, in this instance, the failure to include sponsor identification on political advertising does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, John Johanson will receive a formal written warning concerning the responsibility to include the name and address of the sponsor on written political advertising. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Johanson, in the future, will include the name and address of the sponsor in all political advertising. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1481090.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "PDC Case 148109 votenobondandlevy closed with warning_.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6382/PDC%20Case%20148109%20votenobondandlevy%20closed%20with%20warning_.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "148109 Votenobondandlevy Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6382/148109%20%20Votenobondandlevy%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "148109 Votenobondandlevy Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "PDC Case 148109 Votenobondandlevy response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6382/PDC%20Case%20148109%20Votenobondandlevy%20response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]04/18/2024 08:11:50 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The contribution was reported three weeks late, on a C-3, on November 6, 2023, and not on the LMC report until November 27, 2023. </li><li>In addition to violating the reporting requirement for LMCs, ACI’s receipt of the contribution for $12,000, from Burien/SeaTac Alliance, during the period 10/17/23 – 11/6/23, was more than the allowed $7,500 limit right before an election.

Staff expects that Auburn Citizens for Schools will file all future required reports of contributions and expenditures in a timely manner. The Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Pertinent facts include the following:</p><ul><li>ACS supported Propositions 1 and 2 on the 2/11/2020 ballot. ACS also supported Proposition 1 on the 2/13/2024 ballot. The district placed no ballot measures on the ballot in 2021, 2022, or 2023.</li><li>In 2024, ACS filed its 21-day, pre-election C-4 report, covering the period 1/5-1/22/2024, on 1/28/2024. The report was due 1/23/2024, making the report with $194 in contributions received and $5,163.14 in expenditures, five days late. At the request of PDC staff, ACS amended its 21-day pre-election C-4 report to include contributions and expenditures for the period 12/1/2023 - 1/22/2024.</li><li>Also, at the request of PDC staff, ACS included additional detail for expenditures, including a more detailed description of the $3,285.99 expenditure to Minuteman Press, to include the quantities purchased for each type of communication (e.g., the number of flyers, postcards, and doorhangers purchased). The $824.30 expenditure to Spectrum Sign Company was amended to include the number of signs purchased and the $945.00 expenditure to Sound Publishing was amended to include the run dates for the newspaper and periodical advertising.</li><li>ACS timely filed its 7-day pre-election C-4 report covering the period 1/23/2024 - 2/5/2024.</li><li>ACS also timely filed its post-election C-4 Report for the period 2/26/2024 – 2/29/2024.</li></ul><p><strong>Activity Between 2020 and 2024 Election Campaigns</strong></p><ul><li>The final C-4 report for the 2020 election campaign covered the period 7/1/2020 – 7/31/2020. ACS attempted to register as a continuing committee following the 2020 election, hoping to be under the Mini Reporting Option as a continuing committee during the years between elections. However, PDC staff reverted (rejected) the registration and asked ACS to register as a single election committee, which allows each election to be tracked separately. On 1/5/2024, ACS registered as a single election committee for the 2/13/2024 special election, selecting the Full Reporting Option.</li><li>ACS receives a few ongoing contributions from school district employees and incurs minor expenses between elections, such as an expense for its post office box rental. Depending on the level of expected contributions and expenditures, a single election committee may select the Mini Reporting Option or the Full Reporting Option. To account for its contribution and expenditure activity, ACS has filed C-3 and C-4 reports for the periods detailed in the case closure letter to the complainant. The C-4 reports now account for all campaign activity from the close of the 2/11/2020 election to the close of the 2/13/2024 election.</li></ul>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1479040.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "147904 Initial Hearing Results - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6370/147904%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "147904 Initial Hearing Results - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6370/147904%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "147904 Combined Case Closure Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6370/147904%20Combined%20Case%20Closure%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "147904 Auburn Citizens for Schools Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6370/147904%20Auburn%20Citizens%20for%20Schools%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "147904 Response to Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6370/147904%20Response%20to%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/07/2025 03:50:08 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

He ran for election in 2020 for which he won and took office. In 2023 he ran for re-election and is the current Sheriff of Kittitas County.</li><li>It was alleged that Sheriff Clay Myers, as an elected official, violated RCW 42.17A.555 by causing the misuse of public facilities when he participated in a Zoom call and interview that resulted in materials used for an endorsement video promoting the candidacy of Dave Reichert in election year 2024 for Washington State Governor.</li><li>PDC Interpretation No. 04-02, states in part, local government elected officials may engage in political activities on their own time, if no public equipment, vehicle, or facility is used. An elected official may use their title so long as they clarify that they are speaking on their own behalf, and not on behalf of the agency. They may also attend events and voice their opinion about a candidate or ballot proposition if they are not compensated and are not using any public equipment, vehicle, or other facility.</li><li>Per WAC 390-37-060, in complaints where it cannot be decided the allegations are “obviously” baseless we open a case to conduct an initial review of available materials and ask questions. </li><li>In this instance, based on the video, the PDC opened a case because we could not figure out if Sheriff Myers was in a county issued uniform, using county issued technology while conducting the interview, or had intentionally used the Kittitas County Sheriff’s office shield and title. After questioning, PDC staff found that the Sheriff was not in uniform, had not used public resources while taking the call or giving the interview, and had no prior knowledge the Kittitas County Sheriff’s office shield or his elected office title would be used.</li><li>The PDC has contacted the Reichert4Governor campaign and requested the voluntary removal of the endorsement video because it does include other Washington State Sheriffs who are in county issued uniform or using public facilities. The campaign has not responded to the PDC’s request.</li><li>The Respondent does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings, the evidence does not support a violation of RCW 42.17A.555 for misuse of public facilities to support a candidate running for elected office in election year 2024.</p><p>The PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1) and WAC 390-37-060(1)(a).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1500820.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "150082 Myers Clay Complaint 1.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6414/150082%20Myers%20Clay%20Complaint%201.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "150082 Myers Clay Complaint 2.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6414/150082%20Myers%20Clay%20Complaint%202.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "150082 Myers_Clay Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6414/150082%20Myers_Clay%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "150082 Myers_Clay Complaint Return Letter for Dismissal (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6414/150082%20Myers_Clay%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20for%20Dismissal%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}, {"file_name" : "150082 Myers Clay Complaint 3.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6414/150082%20Myers%20Clay%20Complaint%203.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]06/18/2025 12:19:54 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The formal written warning included PDC staff’s expectation that, in the future, Centralia School District will omit supportive statements, quotes and promotional slogans from their Fact Sheet and ballot proposition messaging. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>PDC staff reminded Centralia School District 401 officials about the importance of not using school district resources to produce and distribute promotional content and avoiding descriptions that 1) are designed to make the cost of a ballot proposition more appealing to voters (e.g. by describing them as an “investment”); and 2) speculate about the possible secondary or tertiary impacts of a ballot proposition’s passage. Centralia School District was also reminded not to post promotional content from outside sources regarding electoral matters on their social media pages. We further reminded the Respondent to ensure any future voting reminders and information regarding school district ballot propositions are consistent and comparable with the district’s usual and customary practices for other elections in terms of volume, frequency, and platforms used.

Kriete is speaking about his support of Reichert from his county office and is shown in his county-provided uniform. </p><p>In response to the complaint, Kriete noted they accept responsibility they “unintentionally violated the above-mentioned RCW.” Kriete also stated, “In the future I will make sure this does not happen.”</p><p>In his response to the PDC, Kriete, who has been in office for 15 months, stated his agency does not provide written guidance or training to staff on how to comply with RCW 42.17A.555.</p><p>Kriete does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</p><p>Based on the above review, the staff has determined that, in this instance, the circumstances do not support a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.

(EY 18 Sep 18)RCW 29B.30.070/42.17A.335Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - Statewide<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed by Sandra Giachino on October 9, 2018. The Complaint alleged that Drew MacEwen, incumbent and candidate for State Representative in Legislative District 35 in 2018, may have violated RCW 42.17A.335 by making false statements of material fact about his opponent, David Daggett, a candidate for public office.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the applicable statutes; the response provided by Dan Brady on behalf of Drew MacEwen; and publicly available information regarding David Daggett’s political platform, to determine the allegations support a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>The statement regarding David Daggett’s position on second amendment issues appears to have been made based on the NRA scorecard and the complaint did not include any evidence to the contrary. However, staff was unable to find any publicly available statements where Mr. Daggett confirmed his official position on issues related to gun rights to determine if the statement included in the political advertisement was true or false. </p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined that, in this instance, no evidence supports a finding of an actual violation warranting further investigation. PDC staff is reminding Drew MacEwen about the importance of vetting all information used in political advertisement, naming a candidate for public office and sponsored by any future campaigns he is involved with to avoid potential violations of RCW 42.17A.335.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/421790.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "42179 MacEwen Drew Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1931/42179%20MacEwen%20Drew%20Response.pdf", "description" : "42179 MacEwen Drew Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "42179 MacEwen Drew Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1931/42179%20MacEwen%20Drew%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "42179 MacEwen Drew Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "42179 MacEwen Drew Reminder Ltr.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1931/42179%20MacEwen%20Drew%20Reminder%20Ltr.pdf", "description" : "42179 MacEwen Drew Reminder Ltr.pdf", "document_type" : null}]11/27/2019 12:41:18 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

49209648607/14/202107/14/202102/10/2022Richard D. Erwin, Jr.Lisa AnderlAnderl, Lisa: Alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.240(2) for failure to report complete address information for donors giving more than $100 in the aggregate & RCW 42.17A.405(14) for accepting over limit contributions (EY19; Jul 21)RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Resolved through Statement of Understanding (SOU)Candidate - Local<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed on July 14, 2021. The complaint alleged that Lisa Anderl, a 2019 City Council candidate for the City of Mercer Island may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.240(2) for failure to timely disclose complete address information for individual donors giving more than $100 in the aggregate on Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports); and (2) RCW 42.17A.405(14) for accepting over limit contributions from a political action committee. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the responses provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>The Respondent was a first-time candidate in the 2019 election. It appears that the missing donor address information was due to a general misunderstanding of the detailed address disclosure requirements expected on C-3 reports and not done intentionally to mislead the public. The acceptance of the over limit contribution appears to be unintentional and due to a lack of awareness by the Respondent of the restrictions on individuals performing ministerial duties for only one campaign.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(f), the PDC received a completed Statement of Understanding (SOU) on February 10, 2022, from Lisa Anderl acknowledging a violation of RCW 42.17A.405(14) for accepting over limit contributions from Mercer Islanders for Sustainable Spending, a political action committee. Ms. Anderl paid a $150 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), which resolves the issue. </p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely file eight C-3 reports with complete house number and street addresses for ten individual donors, and failure initially to identify the committee treasurer as ministerial, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation. Pursuant to WAC 390-37-070, PDC staff is dismissing the remaining allegations and reminding Lisa Anderl about the importance of the accurate disclosure of all contribution and expenditure activities, specifically the inclusion of a full address for individual donors giving more than $100 in the aggregate, and the timely and accurate filings of all future PDC reports in accordance with the statutes and rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/96486150.000.000.00150.000.00false[{"file_name" : "96486 Anderl Lisa Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4920/96486%20Anderl%20Lisa%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "96486 Anderl Lisa - Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4920/96486%20Anderl%20Lisa%20-%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "96486 Anderl Lisa Supplemental Response 2.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4920/96486%20Anderl%20Lisa%20Supplemental%20Response%202.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "SOU - 96486 - Lisa Anderl.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4920/SOU%20-%2096486%20-%20Lisa%20Anderl.pdf", "description" : "SOU - 96486 - Lisa Anderl", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "96486 Anderl Lisa Complaint Return Letter - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4920/96486%20Anderl%20Lisa%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20-%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "96486 Anderl Lisa Complaint Return Letter - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4920/96486%20Anderl%20Lisa%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "96486 Initial Hearing Results - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4920/96486%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "96486 Initial Hearing Results - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4920/96486%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "96486 Anderl Lisa - Supplemental Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4920/96486%20Anderl%20Lisa%20-%20Supplemental%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}][{"who" : "Anderl, Lisa", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2022-02-04", "amount" : 150.00, "description" : "SOU", "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2022-01-31", "amount" : 150.00, "description" : "PAID"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]09/14/2022 09:40:22 AMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

Skagit publishing has print and web-based media services in Skagit County. The Skagit Valley Herald and The Anacortes American are newspapers run by Skagit Publishing. In election year 2023, these newspapers ran political advertisements (POLADS) naming Bonnie Bowers and Corey Joyce, both candidates running for Anacortes Port Commissioner.</li><li>RCW 42.17A.345 & WAC 390-18-050 require commercial advertisers, who have accepted or provided political advertising, or electioneering communications, to maintain current books of account and related materials, and to make the information available for public inspection. The records must be maintained for five years following the election to which the records pertain. Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.345, the documents and books of account shall specify: 1) the names and addresses of persons who placed political advertising or electioneering communications; 2) the exact nature and extent of the services rendered; and 3) the total cost and the manner of payment for the services. WAC 390-18-050(6) and (7) further clarify what information the commercial advertiser must maintain. WAC 390-18-050(3) states that commercial advertisers can provide such information to the requester in person during normal business hours or electronically (if requested electronically) by email or online publication.</li><li>In the complaint, the Complainant explains that starting on November 11, 2023, they appeared in person at the Skagit Publishing office. At that time, they requested copies of invoices for POLADS placed by Mary LaFleur, Corey Joyce, and Bonnie Bowers for election year 2023. The Complainant did not receive the requested information at the time of the request. Over the course of three months, they continued to contact Skagit Publishing seeking the requested books of account inspection. On January 10, 2024, Skagit Publishing emailed “tear sheets” showing the requested political advertisements, but none of the requested financial information was included. On February 12, 2024, the Complainant filed a complaint with the PDC seeking help in accessing the requested documentation. PDC staff were able to obtain all the requested documentation and supplied those materials on April 8, 2024.</li><li>Skagit Publishing claims that local staff illness and PTO, not having a locally staffed Accounting Department, and mishandling of the request all contributed to the delay in the Complainant receiving the requested information.</li><li>PDC staff also found that the format in which the Complianant requested the POLAD information be supplied is not a requirement in the RCW or WAC. Specifically, they requested to receive invoices, bank statements, and checks. A commercial advertiser is not compelled to provide those specific documents as part of the public books of account inspection; however, the advertiser is required to provide the information contained in those documents when requested. If a commercial advertiser chooses to not provide the actual documents containing all the required information, then they must provide the information formatted and structured in a way that enables the data to be fully discoverable and useable by the end user. There is no alternate format for providing a copy of the advertisement or communication in a print or digital graphic record for any media with a visual component, or in an audio or transcribed record for any radio or other media that does not include a visual component. </li><li>As part of the resolution of this case, PDC staff requested Skagit Publishing explain the future handling of an inspection request for books of account. Jennifer Brown, the Advertising Director, said they have created a new procedure outlining who is responsible within the different departments for collecting the required information and it creates some redundancies in the event first-line responsible staff are unavailable. The procedure should make it possible for a same-day in-person request to occur if the request is made before 3 p.m. In the event a request happens later in the day, the request will be fulfilled the next business day. </li><li>The Respondent and its affiliates do not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, Skagit Publishing’s failure to maintain and collect all required information, as outlined in RCW 42.17A.345 and WAC 390-18-050, so as to provide upon request an inspection of the books of account for political advertising undertaken by the publisher and its subsidiaries does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Skagit Publishing, and its print and web-based media, will receive a formal written warning concerning the requirements under RCW 42.17A.345 and WAC 390-18-050. Staff expects Skagit Publishing, and its print and web-based media, moving forward, to comply with all laws and rules pertaining to the collection and maintenance of all required information as outlined in RCW 42.17A.345 and WAC 390-18-050; and to provide within the statutory timeline inspection of the books of account for political advertising undertaken by the publisher and its subsidiaries. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1491480.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "149148 Skagit Publishing Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6390/149148%20Skagit%20Publishing%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "149148 Skagit Publishing Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6390/149148%20Skagit%20Publishing%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "149148 Skagit Publishing Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6390/149148%20Skagit%20Publishing%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]05/23/2024 02:51:24 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaint alleged the 39th Legislative District Democrats - Exempt Account, a political committee, may have violated RCW 42.17A.205, .235 and .240 and WAC 390-16-125 for acceptance of a contribution exceeding the $500 limit for committees registered under the “Mini Reporting” Option without registering and reporting contributions and expenditures. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Ministerial Treasurer, Eric Halvorson on behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that although the $2,000 contribution made by the Washington State Democratic Central Committee was reported significantly late, the Respondent received it after switching to the “Full Reporting” Option and that the funds were timely deposited. Further, the late reporting was limited to contributions only.

Staff also noted that there were some reports that were reported late by the respondent. However, these deficiencies were mitigated by the fact that the respondent did not have any prior violations. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that the deficiencies found based on the review of the complaint did not warrant further investigation. However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), staff issued a formal written warning to the respondent concerning its failure to timely/accurately disclose contribution and expenditure reports and properly breakdown/fully describe the purpose of expenditures on C-4 reports in the 2024 election years. </p><p>Accordingly, the PDC dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1495740.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "149574 Woodland Citizens for Schools Complaint Disposition Letter .pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6400/149574%20Woodland%20Citizens%20for%20Schools%20Complaint%20Disposition%20Letter%20.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "149574 Woodland Citizens for Schools Complaint (2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6400/149574%20Woodland%20Citizens%20for%20Schools%20Complaint%20%282%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "149574 Woodland Citizens for Schools Complaint Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6400/149574%20Woodland%20Citizens%20for%20Schools%20Complaint%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "149574 Woodland Citizens for Schools Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6400/149574%20Woodland%20Citizens%20for%20Schools%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "149574 Woodland Citizens for Schools Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]07/19/2024 02:54:57 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(CY23 MAY24)RCW 29B.55.030/42.17A.710Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsCandidate - Local<p>PDC staff reviewed the allegation(s) and the filing history of the Respondent and found the following: </p><ul><li>The cashier’s check, provided as evidence in your complaint, was made in payment for the Longview Centennial Days gala in 2023. Mr. Boudreau, in his response to the complaint, identified the check and said, “the cashiers check in question is from my personal checking account and was used to pay for the tickets as I do not write checks enough to have a checkbook of “normal checks.” </li><li>A ticket for the event was $100 per person. As you said in your complaint, Mr. Boudreau and his wife attended the event together which would have incurred a cost of $200 for the tickets. The cashier’s check amount is $200.</li><li>Per RCW 42.52.010, the gala tickets do not qualify as a “gift” since Mr. Boudreau personally paid the full price for the tickets nor is there a requirement for Mr. Boudreau to report his attendance at the event, under RCW 42.17A.710, since he personally paid for his and his wife’s admission to the event. </li></ul><p>Based on these findings, staff has determined, in this instance, there is no evidence of a violation warranting further investigation.

(EY '21; Aug '21)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Resolved through Statement of Understanding (SOU)Candidate - Local<p>Two complaints were filed against Marcus Tageant, an incumbent Lake Stevens City Council member and a candidate for re-election to that office in 2021, alleging his Campaign may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to: (1) timely file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure Reports (C-4 reports) disclosing contribution and expenditure activities undertaken in support of his re-election efforts; and (2) timely and accurately provide the required expenditure details for political advertisements sponsored by his Campaign.</p><p>Marcus Tageant filed a candidate registration on May 17, 2021, declaring his candidacy for re-election to the Lake Stevens City Council in the 2021 election, selecting the Full Reporting option, and listing himself as Treasurer. <br><br>Mr. Tageant is an incumbent Lake Stevens City Councilmember since being elected to office in 2009. Mr. Tageant’s name did not appear on the August 3, 2021 primary election ballot, because only two candidates had declared for that office so each candidate automatically qualified for the general election. <br><br>On September 7, 2021, the Friends of Marcus Tageant Campaign (Campaign) filed four C-3 reports totaling $4,000, disclosing the receipt and deposit of four $1,000 monetary contributions received by the Campaign between July 15 through August 3, 2021. The contributions included: (1) a $1,000 contribution received from the Land Pro Group, Inc. on July 15, 2021; (2) a $1,000 contribution received from the Affordable Housing Council on July 22, 2021; (3) a $1,000 contribution received from the Arcadia Homes, LLC on July 30, 2021; and (4) a $1,000 contribution received from the Responsible Economic Growth PAC on August 3, 2021. </p><p>The $4,000 in monetary contributions received were disclosed by the Campaign between 35 to 54 days late, but 55 days prior to the November 2, 2021 general election. <br>On October 11, 2021, the Campaign filed the 7-Day Pre-Primary Election C-4 report which was due no later than July 27, 2021, disclosing $2,000 in monetary contributions received and no expenditures made. The $2,000 in contribution information should have been disclosed by the Campaign no later than August 10, 2021, on the July C-4 report since the Respondent did not appear on the August 3, 2021 primary election ballot. The C-4 report was filed 62 days late based on the August 10, 2021 due date.</p><p>On October 11, 2021, the Campaign filed the Post-Primary C-4 Election report which was due no later than September 10, 2021, disclosing the receipt of a $3,000 in monetary contributions received and a $1,000 expenditure made by the Campaign on August 28, 2021, for assistance and other advertising. The C-4 report was filed 31 days late based on the September 10, 2021 due date.</p><p>On November 10,2021, the Campaign filed an amended C-4 report for July of 2021, disclosing the receipt of a $3,000 in monetary contributions received for the month (as previously listed on the 7-Day Pre-Primary Election C-4 report) and a new $2,031.30 expenditure. The $2,031.30 expenditure was made by the Campaign to Artisan Signs on July 3, 2021, for 200-yard signs, and was required to have been disclosed on the July C-4 report due August 10, 2021. </p><p>The $2,031.30 expenditure for yard signs was disclosed 92 days late and eight days after the November 2, 2021 general election and represented 23.6% of the total expenditures made by the Campaign for the 2021 election cycle. </p><p>On November 29, 2021, Mr. Tageant sent an email to PDC staff in which he attached a copy of a signed Statement of Understanding (SOU) acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failing to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports during the 2021 election cycle. Mr. Tageant confirmed by email that he was mailing the original signed SOU along with a $150 check civil penalty to resolve the allegations concerning the late filed C-3 and C-4 reports.</p><p>Based on these findings that included Marcus Tageant: (1) was his own Treasurer in 2021, and selected the Mini Reporting option in 2009, and 2013, when he served as his own Treasurer for both Campaigns; (2) raised $10,000 in contributions received and made $8,529 in expenditures in support of his re-election efforts; (3) name did not appear on the primary ballot since only two candidates filed for office, the facts do not warrant an investigation or any further enforcement action; and (4) completed a signed Statement of Understanding and agreed to pay a $150 check civil penalty, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). . </p><p>PDC staff also reminded Marcus Tageant about the importance of candidate campaign finance reporting and disclosure, including the timely and accurate filing of C-3 and C-4 reports, and providing the required expenditure descriptions for political advertising undertaken in support of his candidacy for any future campaign.<br> </p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/98033150.000.000.00150.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Tageant, Marcus Complainant Return Letter with SOU & Reminder (Grey) PDC Case 98033.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4963/Tageant%2C%20Marcus%20Complainant%20Return%20Letter%20with%20SOU%20%26%20Reminder%20%28Grey%29%20PDC%20Case%2098033.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "Statement of Understanding - Marcus Tageant - 12.09.2021.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4963/Statement%20of%20Understanding%20-%20Marcus%20Tageant%20-%2012.09.2021.pdf", "description" : "Statement of Understanding - Marcus Tageant - 12.09.2021", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "98033 Tageant Marcus Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4963/98033%20Tageant%20Marcus%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "98033 Tageant Marcus Complaint Supplemental.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4963/98033%20Tageant%20Marcus%20Complaint%20Supplemental.pdf", "description" : "98033 Tageant Marcus Supplemental Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "98033 Tageant Marcus Complaint RESPONSE.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4963/98033%20Tageant%20Marcus%20Complaint%20RESPONSE.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}][{"who" : "Marcus Tageant", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2021-12-30", "amount" : 150.00, "description" : "Statement of Understanding", "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2021-12-09", "amount" : 150.00, "description" : "PAID"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]12/09/2021 10:58:29 AMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

The complaint alleged that Linda Oosterman, a 2018 candidate for Public Utility Commissioner for Thurston County, may have violated RCW 42.17A.205 for failure to report Paul Berendt as a committee officer; RCW 42.17A.235, .240, .310, and WAC 390-05-210 for failure to accurately and timely report in-kind contributions from expenditures coordinated with Up for Thurston County (Sponsored by Puget Sound Energy); RCW 42.17A.265 for failure to timely report last minute in-kind contributions from coordinated expenditures with Up for Thurston County (Sponsored by Puget Sound Energy) within 48 hours of receipt; and RCW 42.17A.270 for failure to timely and accurately report contributions made by Puget Sound Energy to Up for Thurston County (Sponsored by Puget Sound Energy), allegedly earmarked for coordinated expenditures with Linda Oosterman; and RCW 42.17A.420 for accepting contributions from coordinated expenditures made by Up for Thurston County exceeding $5,000 within 21 days of the general election.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the responses provided by the Re-Elect Linda Oosterman Campaign (Campaign); the minutes from the Thurston County Democratic Party Endorsement Meeting; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Campaign and Up for Thurston County (Sponsored by Puget Sound Energy); and queried the Campaign and Up for Thurston County (Sponsored by Puget Sound Energy)’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>The complaint alleged the Committee failed to disclose Paul Berendt as a Committee officer based on: (1) a letter Paul Berendt allegedly distributed at a meeting of the Thurston County Democratic Party in coordination with the Oosterman Campaign; and (2) a $16.39 in-kind contribution made from Paul Berendt to the Committee for a high-resolution copy of a photograph of Linda Oosterman was taken from a photo-sharing website and used to facilitate the electioneering communication mailer.</p><p>The evidence provided, which staff reviewed, does not support a finding that Paul Berendt served as an officer for the Oosterman Campaign in the capacity to “<i>make, direct, or authorize contributions, expenditure, strategic or policy decisions on behalf of the committee.</i>” <br><br>The complaint alleged that the electioneering communication sponsored and mailed by the Committee totaling $9,952 in support of Linda Oosterman, was made in cooperation and coordination with the Campaign, and should have been reported as an in-kind contribution in accordance with RCW 42.17A.240 and WAC 390-05-210, based on the same facts concerning officer status as noted in the letters dismissing this case. In addition, the complaint alleged that the factors listed in WAC 390-05-210 of presumptive coordination were met by the ‘Dear Friends’ letter, and the quality of a photograph used on a mailer printed by Capitol City Press, stating “[g]<i>eneral members of the public would have no way to know about this letter or receive a copy unless they were working in close coordination with the Linda Oosterman campaign as a member of the executive committee</i>” citing an email from the Campaign’s consultant Joe Hyer, which states “<i>I don’t remember any significant quantity of that letter being produced- I was given a copy to review, but the candidate didn’t have much of a mailing list that would work with this letter.</i>”</p><p>No evidence was provided that the Committee expenditures were made in “<i>cooperation, concert or collaboration with, or at the request or suggestion” </i>of a Linda Oosterman, authorized campaign, or an agent of the campaign.</p><p>The remaining alleged violations of failure to timely report last minute in-kind contributions, failure to timely and accurately report earmarked in-kind contributions, and accepting contributions exceeding $5,000 within 21 days of the general election rely upon a finding that the expenditures undertaken by Up for Thurston County (Sponsored by Puget Sound Energy) constituted in-kind contributions to the Campaign, which the evidence does not support.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, the evidence does not support a finding of a violation warranting further investigation.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/513300.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "51330 Oosterman Linda (5) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3036/51330%20Oosterman%20Linda%20%285%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "51330 Oosterman Linda (5) Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3036/51330%20Oosterman%20Linda%20%285%29%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "51330 Oosterman Linda Complaint Return Letter Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3036/51330%20Oosterman%20Linda%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}]06/26/2019 11:55:13 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

511910270911/05/202111/05/202104/12/2022Terri NilesSouthwest Washington Federated Republican Women’s ClubSW WA Federated Republican Women’s Club: Alleged violations of RCW 42.17.205 or .255 by failing to register as a political committee or file an Independent Expenditures report (C-6 report) in opposition to Clark Co. Charter Amendments in 2021 (Nov '21)RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205, RCW 29B.25.120/42.17A.255Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsPolitical Advertising Sponsor<p>A complaint was filed against Carolyn Crain and the Southwest WA Federated Republican Women’s Club (SWFRWC), alleging that Ms. Crain and the SWFRWC violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.205, .235, and .240 by failing to register and file reports as a local ballot measure committee in opposition to the Clark County Charter Amendments that appeared on the November 2, 2021 general election; or (2) RCW 42.17A.255 by failing to file reports of Independent Expenditure (C-6 report) disclosing independent expenditures made in opposition to the Clark County Charter Amendments. </p><p>For the 2021 election cycle, there were 10 Clark County Charter Amendments that appeared on the November 2, 2021, general election.</p><p>Staff reviewed the November 2, 2021, Clark County general election results and found the voters approved eight of the ten Charter Amendments: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9.</p><p>Carolyn Crain, as First Vice-President of the SWFRWC, stated based on her knowledge she did “not believe that there was any formal committee coordinated regarding this issue. There were hundreds of upset people over the failure of the County Council to properly perform their duties and to publish a voter’s pamphlet without any opposition statements to the amendments.” She stated SWFRWC is a small women's club with 12 members, and that they “do not donate to or endorse candidates. We do attempt to keep people informed on legislation and items that will be on their ballots. We have a website and a Facebook page and monthly meetings with speakers.” <br><br>Ms. Crain stated she designed a handout/flyer to use at the SWFRWC meeting using her own computer and Office 365 publisher. She stated that she printed the flyers from her computer at her home using her own “paper stock and ink. I am not sure what the ink and paper cost me at this time because I did not go out and buy it for this purpose. I did print 200 Flyers.” She stated SWFRWC held its monthly October meeting in which the Clark County Charter amendments were the topic of the discussion, and that there were about 60 people in attendance. </p><p>Ms. Crain stated she made the flyers available at the meeting and that some of the attendees took flyers with them. She estimated that she spent less than $75 in total using her personal funds for the materials and the use of her computer, and she added that amount may have been a little high. She stated that Kris Greene was one of the people in attendance at the meeting, and at the end of the SWFRWC meeting she gave the remaining fliers to Mr. Greene for him to distribute at his office. </p><p>Ms. Crain stated Mr. Greene informed her that he distributed the fliers to a few people and some people took a few more from his office, but the bulk of them “landed in the trash after the election when I spoke to him. As noted in the February 2, 2022, PDC resolution letter concerning the Kris Greene and Cemal Richards complaints (PDC Cases #100592 and #101696), Mr. Greene stated the SWFRWC [sic] printed the “Vote No” fliers and made them available to him. He indicated that he did not “recall the exact number” of flyers that he took, but he made them available at his office. He estimated that he had about 50 fliers sitting on a table in the front lobby of his office “for folks to stop in and take them.” He stated that Mr. Richards also picked up some fliers, but he had no idea how many he took.</p><p>Concerning the yard sign allegation, staff reviewed the yard signs which were two-sided, white corrugated plastic, and appeared to be slightly larger than the standard 14” x 22” yard signs and stated “VOTE NO Charter Amendments 1-9!! Save Your Voice!! Stop the Gerrymander of District Lines.” The yard signs did not have any other identifying information included such as a website or email address, no contact information or sponsor name, and no union bug or printer identification number. In accordance with WAC 390-18-030(2)(e) yard sings that are smaller than 8’ x 4’ dimensions are exempt from the sponsor identification requirements.</p><p>Ms. Crain stated that the yard signs were left at her house on her front porch at the house while she was not at home, by an individual. She stated there “were only a couple of dozen yard signs at the most with a sticky note attached to them from Tom. I could not find out who that was.” She stated that after the signs had been left, she gave the yard signs to Mr. Greene since she had several things going on and she did have time to deal with them. Mr. Greene stated in his response that the SWFRWC made the yard signs available to him, and that he picked up the “Vote No” signs at the home of Carolyn Crain, First Vice-President of the SWFRWC. He stated that he had no idea who printed the signs.</p><p>Neither Ms. Crain or the SWFRWC solicited or accepted any contributions to oppose the Clark Charter Amendments. Ms. Crain previously stated that she used her personal funds and resources to print the fliers.</p><p>Based on these findings, staff has determined in this instance that the activities undertaken by Carolyn Crain in opposition to several of the 2021 Clark County Charter Amendments, that included her using her personal computer and printer to produce 200 fliers costing an estimated $75, did not require her to file an Independent Expenditures report (C-6 report) of $100 or more in accordance with RCW 42.17A. </p><p>PDC staff found no evidence that Ms. Crain solicited or accepted contributions to support or oppose any of the 2021 Clark County Charter Amendments, and was not required to register and file reports as a political or ballot measure committee. </p><p>In addition, staff found no evidence that the Southwest Washington Federated Republican Women’s Club made any expenditures to oppose any of the 2021 Clark County Charter Amendments, and they did not solicit or accept any contributions to support or oppose the 2021 Clark County Charter Amendments. Thus, the Southwest Washington Federated Republican Women’s Club was not required to register and file reports as a political committee or ballot measure committee. </p><p>Unfortunately, based on the lack of information as noted above concerning the “Vote No” yard signs, PDC staff was not able to ascertain the person responsible for paying for and sponsoring the yard signs, or the printer responsible for producing the yard signs, despite investigative efforts.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed the allegations against Carolyn Crain and Southwest Washington Federated Republican Women’s Club, in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). <br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1027090.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "SW WA Federated Republican Women’s Club Respondent Initial Hearing Results Ltr (PDC Case 102709).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5119/SW%20WA%20Federated%20Republican%20Women%E2%80%99s%20Club%20Respondent%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20Ltr%20%28PDC%20Case%20102709%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "SW WA Federated Republican Women's Club Complaint Return Letter and Cover Ltr (PDC Case 102709).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5119/SW%20WA%20Federated%20Republican%20Women%27s%20Club%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20and%20Cover%20Ltr%20%28PDC%20Case%20102709%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}, {"file_name" : "102709 SW WA Fed Rep Women's Club_copy of Just Vote No & Cemal Richards Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5119/102709%20SW%20WA%20Fed%20Rep%20Women%27s%20Club_copy%20of%20Just%20Vote%20No%20%26%20Cemal%20Richards%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "SW WA Federated Republican Women’s Club Initial Hearing Results (Niles) PDC Case 102709.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5119/SW%20WA%20Federated%20Republican%20Women%E2%80%99s%20Club%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20%28Niles%29%20PDC%20Case%20102709.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "SW WA Federated Republican Women’s Club Response (PDC Case #102709).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5119/SW%20WA%20Federated%20Republican%20Women%E2%80%99s%20Club%20Response%20%28PDC%20Case%20%23102709%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]04/12/2022 11:45:40 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

He hired Jeanne Legault, an experienced treasurer, to receive contributions, make expenditures, and file accurate reports with the Public Disclosure Commission. Mr. Ashiofu lost in the primary election and was required to return all general election contributions.</li><li>Ms. Legault made the decision to spend $2,000 in general election contributions to pay primary election expenses, resulting in the general election contributions becoming primary election contributions that were over-limit because the general election contributors had already made maximum $1,000 primary election contributions. The campaign was unable to return the general election contributions, consisting of $1,000 from Agatha Ashiofu and $1,000 from Rachel Marshall.</li><li>Ms. Legault filed multiple inaccurate reports of contributions and expenditures during and after the 2022 primary election, including (1) reporting receipts of $1,900 in monetary contributions that were not received, at a time when the campaign was looking for a way to return $2,000 in general election contributions; and (2) reporting a debt of $11,875 for consulting services that did not occur, and later reporting the debt as forgiven, and as an over-limit in-kind contribution. These reports were amended after the election to correctly show that the monetary contributions were not received and that there was no debt or over-limit in-kind contribution for consulting services.</li></ul>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1131131000.000.000.001000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "113113 Ashiofu Andrew Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5581/113113%20Ashiofu%20Andrew%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "113113 Ashiofu Andrew Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113113 Combined Case Closure Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5581/113113%20Combined%20Case%20Closure%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "113113 SOU Andrew Ashiofu.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5581/113113%20SOU%20Andrew%20Ashiofu.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "SOU - Case 113113 - Jeanne Legault.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5581/SOU%20-%20Case%20113113%20-%20Jeanne%20Legault.pdf", "description" : "SOU - Case 113113 - Jeanne Legault", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "113113 Initial Hearing Results - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5581/113113%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113113 Initial Hearing Results - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5581/113113%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "113113 Response to Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5581/113113%20Response%20to%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "SOU - Case 113113 - Andrew Ashiofu - Rcvd 05.22.2024.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5581/SOU%20-%20Case%20113113%20-%20Andrew%20Ashiofu%20-%20Rcvd%2005.22.2024.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}][{"who" : "Andrew Ashiofu", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2024-06-04", "amount" : 500.00, "description" : "Statement of Understanding", "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2024-05-30", "amount" : 500.00, "description" : "PAID - SOU"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}, {"who" : "Jeanne Legault", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2024-04-16", "amount" : 500.00, "description" : "Statement of Understanding", "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2024-04-16", "amount" : 500.00, "description" : "PAID - SOU"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]08/07/2025 04:54:49 PMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

The complaint alleged that Central Valley Citizens for Education PAC, a committee registered with the PDC during the February 13, 2018, and February 11, 2020, special elections and the November 2, 2021, general election, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 for failure to timely file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) and; (2) RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 & WAC 390-16-037 for failure to include the required description for political advertising expenditures.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and supporting documentation; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Treasurer Jan Hutton on behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that although the Respondent did submit some late campaign activity for the special election in February 2020 and general election in November 2021, and omitted the required details for a small number of political advertising expenditures, due, in part, to a loss of ORCA data and a general lack of knowledge by the treasurer on the use of the ORCA filing system. Staff found no evidence that the late and inaccurate reporting was done intentionally to conceal campaign activity from the public. </p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately file a small number of C-3 and C-4 reports for elections in 2018, 2020, and 2021 by the Respondent does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Central Valley Citizens for Education PAC will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately disclose contributions and expenditures for elections in 2018, 2020 and 2021. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that CVCE timely and accurately files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed all allegations in this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1414570.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141457 Central Valley Citizsens for Education PAC Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6111/141457%20Central%20Valley%20Citizsens%20for%20Education%20PAC%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "141457 Central Valley Citizens for Education PAC Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6111/141457%20Central%20Valley%20Citizens%20for%20Education%20PAC%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141457 Initial Hearing Results - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6111/141457%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141457 Central Valley Citizens for Education PAC Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6111/141457%20Central%20Valley%20Citizens%20for%20Education%20PAC%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "141457 Central Valley Citizens for Education PAC Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]06/13/2024 12:31:44 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Staff expects Lewis County Democratic Central Committee to timely file reports of contributions and expenditures when under the Full Reporting Option. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. Pertinent facts are shown below:</p><p>• On January 15, 2019, Lewis County Democratic Central Committee (LCDCC) selected, for its Non-Exempt account, the Mini reporting option. LCDCC stated that they complied with the contribution and expenditure requirements for Mini filers following January 15, 2019, including calendar year 2022, even though they did not confirm on their committee registration in subsequent years their intent to remain under Mini reporting.</p><p>• LCDCC failed to confirm, each January, the committee’s intent to remain under the Mini Reporting Option.</p><p>• On 3/29/2023, LCDCC asked to move from Full reporting to Mini reporting. Then, on 4/23/2023, Carol Brock, chairperson of LCDCC, requested permission to change from Mini to Full reporting. Reports were filed for 2023 and permission was granted on 7/11/2023 to file under Full reporting.</p><p>• C-4 reports for the period 1/1/2023 – 5/31/2023 were filed on 5/31/2023 and 6/2/2023 and included $2,309 in contributions received and $1,065 in expenditures made. The May report was filed timely, and the January through April reports were filed between 21 days and three months, 21 days late. LCDCC timely filed its June C-4 report on 7/6/2023 that included $142 in contributions received and $578 in expenditures made.</p><p>• LCDCC stated that the committee registration filed with the PDC was updated timely and accurately when there was a change in committee officers. The committee cited as examples the resignations of Pete and Cheryl Hammer and the name change for Wynne McHale.</p><p>• LCDCC stated the committee updated its committee registration timely when the transfer of officers was made on June 23, 2023. They stated the committee registration did not match the "Lewis County Democrats" website, as mentioned in the complaint, because the committee’s website had not been updated to reflect the changes. The committee said the registration information with the PDC correctly lists the current officers and said they were working with their website administrator to have the officer list updated. The most recent committee registration lists the same officers as the Lewis County Democrats website.</p><p>• LCDCC stated that when entering records for the receipt of in-kind contributions, the PDC’s ORCA software program had no field to report the details from vendor receipts. The committee stated they were providing vendor detail as part of the in-kind description and are now also including vendor addresses in their descriptions.</p><p>• LCDCC stated they have not had any auctions, nor have they resold any items received as in-kind contributions. The committee also noted that in consulting with PDC staff, it was their understanding that reporting the address for Vendors when reporting in-kind contributions was a suggested practice rather than a requirement.

The complaint alleged that Betsy Wilkerson, a current Spokane City Councilmember and candidate for Spokane City Council President in the 2023 election, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.235 for failure to timely file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports); (2) RCW 42.17A.240 for failure to file accurate C-3 and C-4 reports; (3) RCW 42.17A.405 for accepting an overlimit contribution; and (4) RCW 42.17A.710 for failure to disclose business associations on the Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report).</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by former Campaign Manager & Treasurer, Riley Smith and Ministerial Treasurer, Andy Taylor on behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the inaccurate reporting and late amendments were due in part to the lack of knowledge by the Respondent’s 2021 treasurer and general misunderstanding of the reporting requirements for expenditure descriptions and content F-1 reports. Although one F-1 report and a small number of C-3 and C-4 reports required corrections, staff found no evidence that the omissions or late reporting was done intentionally to conceal activity from the public.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports for the 2021 and 2023 Wilkerson Campaign and failure to file an accurate F-1 report covering calendar year 2022, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Betsy Wilkerson will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately disclose contributions and expenditures for her 2021 and 2023 Campaigns and failure to include a business association on the F-1 report covering calendar year 2022. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Ms. Wilkerson timely and accurately files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures and timely and accurately file all future personal financial information. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1372900.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "137290 Wilkerson Betsy Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5805/137290%20Wilkerson%20Betsy%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "137290 Wilkerson Betsy Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "137290 Wilkerson Betsy Response #1.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5805/137290%20Wilkerson%20Betsy%20Response%20%231.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "137290 Initial Hearing Results - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5805/137290%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "137290 Wilkerson Betsy Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5805/137290%20Wilkerson%20Betsy%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "137290 Betsy Wilkerson Complaint (2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5805/137290%20Betsy%20Wilkerson%20Complaint%20%282%29.pdf", "description" : "137290 Betsy Wilkerson Complaint (2)", "document_type" : ""}]10/02/2024 12:22:24 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Ms. Bacon filed a Candidate Registration (C-1) for the 2024 election on July 20, 2023, for the Full Reporting option.</li><li>The campaign created and presented a campaign flyer to the public that did not include the sponsor’s address as part of the sponsor identification. In the response to the complaint, Ms. Bacon said, “My campaign printed up 100 small hand-out cards and set out a couple of dozen of these at a local coffee shop. … We have pulled and trashed all remaining cards, and will include the campaign mailing address on all future publications.” Upon notification of the complaint, the campaign was proactive in addressing a remedy to the issue named in the complaint.</li><li>The campaign created and presented to the public a website at <a href="https://www.electmelbacon.com/">https://www.electmelbacon.com/</a>. The website did not include correct language naming the sponsor and the sponsor’s address. Once notified, the campaign took immediate action to update the website with required sponsor identification.</li><li>The Respondent does not have similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to include the sponsor’s mailing address on a political advertisement does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Melanie Bacon will receive a formal written warning concerning the requirement under RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to provide complete sponsor identification on political advertising.

The complaint alleged that Evan Merritt, a candidate for Fire Commissioner for Snohomish County Fire Protection District 04, Position 1, may have violated RCW 42.17A.205, .235 and .240 and WAC 390-16-125 for accepting a contribution in excess of the $500 per donor aggregate amount thereby exceeding the mini reporting limits without registering and filing Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign under the “Full Reporting” option.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>The circumstances in this case were mitigated by the fact that the Respondent was a first-time candidate and acted as his own Treasurer and only Campaign Officer. In addition, given the length of time since the contributions were initially received, Mr. Merritt’s options for refunding the overlimit contribution were limited. Finally, the Respondent used personal funds to refund the contribution. It appears that the exceeding of mini reporting limits was due to the limited experience of the Respondent and not done intentionally to mislead the public.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, acceptance of a monetary contribution above the $500 per donor aggregate limit while registered under the “Mini Reporting” option that was subsequently refunded does not support a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Evan Merritt will receive a formal written warning concerning acceptance of a monetary contribution exceeding the $500 limit for campaigns registered under the “Mini Reporting” option. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Mr. Merritt strictly adheres to the contribution and expenditure limits while registered under mini reporting or timely requests to switch to the “Full Reporting” option and files all required reports of contributions and expenditures. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1418150.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141815 Merritt, Evan Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6136/141815%20Merritt%2C%20Evan%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141815 Initial Hearing Results - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6136/141815%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141815 Merritt Evan Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6136/141815%20Merritt%20Evan%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]09/18/2025 10:42:50 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaint alleged that Citizens for Bremerton Schools, a political committee registered with the PDC to support Bremerton School District 100-C Replacement for Education Programs and Operations Levy (Proposition No. 1) and General Obligation Bonds for Capital Purposes (Proposition No. 2) placed on the February 13, 2024, special election, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Treasurer Joelle Lovestedt on behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the late reporting of expenditures for campaign yard signs was due to the inexperience of the Committee’s officers regarding filing deadlines for a special election and the use of ORCA and not done to purposely conceal campaign activities from the public. Staff found that upon receipt of the complaint, the Respondent took prompt action to make all missing campaign activity available by submitting amended reports disclosing previously entered expenses.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely disclose expenditures for yard signs posted in support of two ballot propositions on the January 2024 C-4 report does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation. </p><p> Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Citizens for Bremerton Schools will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely disclosure expenditures for yard signs. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that the Respondent timely files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures for committees registered with the PDC under the “Full Reporting” option. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1494610.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "149461 Citizens for Bremerton Schools Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6395/149461%20Citizens%20for%20Bremerton%20Schools%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "149461 Citizens for Bremerton Schools Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6395/149461%20Citizens%20for%20Bremerton%20Schools%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "149461 Citizens for Bremerton Schools Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6395/149461%20Citizens%20for%20Bremerton%20Schools%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "149461 Citizens for Bremerton Schools Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]04/24/2024 01:16:27 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Any official or officer in office for any period in a calendar year, but not in office as of January 1st of the following year, may electronically file either within sixty days of leaving office or during the January 1st through April 15th reporting period of that following year. Such filing must include information for the portion of the current calendar year for which the official or officer was in office.</li><li>As an elected official, Robert Snaza’s F-1 for CY 2023 was due by April 15, 2024.</li><li>PDC staff’s review found the following:</li><li>On February 16, 2024, an end date of December 31, 2022, for elected office, was entered into Robert Snaza’s PDC record. We cannot definitively say who entered this date, but we do know that it was entered by someone using the campaign’s credentials.</li><li>This end date caused reminder notices for filing the F-1, normally sent by the PDC, to not be emailed to Mr. Snaza. Reminder notices are a courtesy of the PDC and not required by statute. Due to the circumstances, we consider having not received reminder notices a mitigating factor in this instance.</li><li>The end date would have also affected Mr. Snaza’s ability to timely file the F-1 for calendar year 2023. Upon questioning, Mr. Snaza said that he “initially attempted on Sunday April 28th, four separate times receiving an error code.”</li><li>PDC staff became aware of the error in the record and amended the record on May 2, 2024, removing the term date for elected office.</li><li>Mr. Snaza successfully filed a CY2023 F-1 on May 4, 2024. The PDC in this instance considers it a mitigating factor that the F-1 reporting module was inaccessible by Mr. Snaza; however, in that his first attempt to file the required F-1 was after the April 15, 2024, deadline, we do consider the report filed late.</li><li>Mr. Snaza does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely file the annual F-1 report for calendar year 2023 does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Robert Snaza will receive a formal written warning concerning the requirement under RCW 42.17A.700 for failing to file a calendar year 2023 Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1) on time. Staff expects Mr. Snaza, moving forward, to follow all laws, rules and PDC guidance about the timely filing of an F-1. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1531300.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "153130 Robert Snaza Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6660/153130%20Robert%20Snaza%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "153130 Snaza_Robert Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6660/153130%20Snaza_Robert%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "153130 Snaza_Robert Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6660/153130%20Snaza_Robert%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]06/18/2025 12:37:36 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Facilities of a public office or agency include, but not limited to, use of stationery, postage, machines and equipment, use of employees of the office or agency during working hours, vehicles, office space, publications of the office or agency, and clientele lists of persons served by the office or agency. This prohibition does not apply to activities that are part of the normal and regular conduct of the public/local agency, as defined in <a href="https://apps.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-05-273">WAC 390-05-273</a>.</li><li><a href="https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/guidelines-restrictions/guidelines-local-government-agencies-election-campaigns">PDC Interpretation No. 04-02</a> states, in part, that local government elected officials may engage in political activities on their own time, if there is no use of public equipment, vehicle, or facility. An elected official may use their title so long as they clarify that they are speaking on their own behalf, and not on behalf of the agency.

The Reichert campaign developed the video materials from a recorded interview conducted via a Zoom call.<ul><li>Sheriff Troyer said that he did not communicate with the Reichert campaign using his county email.</li><li>The interview occurred while Sheriff Troyer was in a county Sheriff’s facility office, which is a misuse of public facilities. He did however use his own device and did not use the county Wi-Fi while taking the Zoom call.</li><li>In the video, the Sheriff wears a suit and is not wearing a county supplied Sheriff’s uniform.</li><li>The video uses an overlay depicting the Pierce County Sheriff’s office shield and title.

(OCT 2018)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>Dear Michael Fertakis: The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the three complaints you filed in October 2018. The three complaints alleged that David Chan, candidate for Snohomish County Public Utility District Commissioner No. 1 in 2018, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign. For your information, in order to more efficiently use PDC resources, these three complaints have been combined into one letter. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed your allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by David Chan; the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent; and the October 17, 2018 Statement of Understanding with $300 civil penalty completed by Mr. Chan and acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>The 2018 election was the first time David Chan filed as a candidate under the “Full Reporting” option and was required to file C-3 and C-4 reports using the PDC’s ORCA program disclosing campaign contribution and expenditure activities electronically. Serving as his own treasurer, Mr. Chan spent several weeks working with PDC Filer Assistance Staff on how to properly enter and correct information reported in ORCA, and he continued to work with staff throughout the 2018 election cycle.</p><p>In July 2018, two complaints were filed against David Chan alleging his campaign failed to timely and accurately file reports of campaign activities. On October 22, 2018, Mr. Chan completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports, and paid a $300 civil penalty, resolving similar allegations in PDC Cases 42329, 42397 and 42940.</p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely file a small number of C-3 and C-4 reports late disclosing details of a mailed political advertisement, does not amount to an actual violation warranting further investigation or additional enforcement action. Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), David Chan will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately disclosure of all contribution and expenditures. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that David Chan timely files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures, including all required vendor information during the accelerated reporting periods prior to and after any election in which his name appears on the ballot. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/423290.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "42329 & 42397 & 42940 Chan David Formal Written Warning Ltr.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1940/42329%20%26%2042397%20%26%2042940%20Chan%20David%20Formal%20Written%20Warning%20Ltr.pdf", "description" : "42329 & 42397 & 42940 Chan David Formal Written Warning Ltr.pdf", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "42329 Chan David Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1940/42329%20Chan%20David%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "42329 Chan David Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}]07/01/2019 03:05:16 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Relevant findings include:</p><ul><li>Citizens for Spokane Schools PAC stated they are a group of parents and volunteers formed to support the passage of Spokane Public Schools (District 81) levies and bonds. The Committee stated they are supported by Spokane citizens, teachers, administrators, businesses, parents, and local organizations.</li><li>The 2018 records for Citizens for Spokane Schools PAC were incomplete and unreported due to the illness and subsequent death of the PAC treasurer, Ellen Robey, on May 12, 2020. Even though Ms. Robey failed to file several C-4 reports in a timely manner during her illness, the campaign timely filed all but four C-3 reports during the preceding five years.</li><li>Once the campaign records were obtained from the estate of Ms. Robey, the Committee located a new treasurer (Barbara Marney) who assumed her duties in November 2020. Ms. Marney completed the 2018 reports and brought the 2021 records up to date by January 2021.</li><li>The PAC filed four C-3 Reports between 58 and 364 days late. The C-3 reports totaled $2,297.93 and were due between 12/10/2019 and 8/10/2021.</li><li>The Committee filed 15 C-4 Reports between 7 and 549 days late. The C-4 reports totaled $71,441.33 in contributions and $75,752.08 in expenditures and were due between 6/10/2019 and 3/10/2022.</li><li>Of the $71,441.33 in total late-filed C-4 Report contributions, all but $2,297.93 were timely reported on C-3 Reports.</li><li>Of the $75,752.08 in total late-filed expenditures, all but $914.82 were filed 7 days late.</li><li>The largest late-filed C-4 Report was filed 7 days late and included $39,410 in contributions and $74,837.26 in expenditures.

Staff’s review confirmed that on April 9, 2024, the Debra Entenman Campaign filed a Monetary Contributions report (C-3 report) disclosing the receipt of a $200 monetary contribution from the Committee on March 31, 2024, that was deposited the same day.</p><p>Based on PDC staff’s initial review, the Committee filed the March 2024 C-4 report early on March 9, 2024, disclosing a $500 expenditure made to Mi Centro in Tacoma, with the description “Charity” but the C-4 report did not include the $200 contribution. WAC 390-05-400 is the PDC rule entitled “Changes in dollar amounts” and included in the chart for the changes in calendar year 2023, the value for itemizing expenditures under RCW 42.17A.240(7) was increased from $50 to $200.</p><p>On Thursday, May 2, 2024, Mr. Brown the Committee Treasurer submitted a response within an hour of receiving the complaint from PDC staff, stating that the Committee sent a $200 contribution check to Debra Entenmann on November 18, 2023 prior to the legislative freeze period and reported it on December 2, 2023 (Report #110190502). Mr. Brown added that the Debra Entenman Campaign did not cash the $200 check until March 31, 2024.</p><p>Staff confirmed that on December 2, 2023, the Committee timely filed the 2023 Post-General Election C-4 report covering the period October 31 through November 30, 2023, disclosing $1,334 in monetary contributions received and $4,391 in expenditures made. The C-4 report disclosed a $352.11 expenditure made to Wix for Committee website work, and $4,038 in "non-itemized expenditures" during the period, that the committee said included the $200 contribution made to the Debra Entenman Campaign which was below the expenditure threshold required to be itemized.</p><p>PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any enforcement action in this instance. Based on the above rule, the Committee was not required to itemize the $200 expenditure/monetary contribution made to the Debra Entenman Campaign, since it did not exceed the $200 threshold found in WAC 390-05-400. PDC staff dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1531320.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "153132 Friends of Community and Technical Colleges PAC response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6661/153132%20Friends%20of%20Community%20and%20Technical%20Colleges%20PAC%20response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "152956 Friends of Community and Technical Colleges PAC Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6661/152956%20Friends%20of%20Community%20and%20Technical%20Colleges%20PAC%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "153132 Friends of Community and Technical Colleges PAC dismissal ltr.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6661/153132%20Friends%20of%20Community%20and%20Technical%20Colleges%20PAC%20dismissal%20ltr.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}]05/14/2024 05:01:27 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The Committee’s due dates for the C-3 and C-4 reports are determined by its activity and participation in the election cycle. <ul><li>The amended C-4 report, #110222440, provided as evidence for late reporting was submitted to the PDC on June 12, 2024, and amended a prior report that was submitted timely. The amended report added USPS services of $154 to expenditures and was reported as an in-kind contribution from the candidate. In this instance, amendments are insufficient evidence of late reporting. There are many reasons a committee might amend their reports and the mere presence of an amendment is not itself conclusive evidence of a violation. As well, the public was not deprived of critical information prior to the election.</li></ul></li><li>RCW 42.17A.320 states, “all written political advertising, whether relating to candidates or ballot propositions, shall include the sponsor’s name and address.” The statute exempts yard signs, if the signs were printed before June 6, 2024, and other forms of political advertising where sponsor identification is impractical.<ul><li>Upon review of the photos provided as evidence, there is a date stamp on the yard sign showing a print date of May 31, 2024. The yards signs are exempt from the sponsor identification requirement.</li></ul></li><li>The Respondent does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings, the evidence does not support a violation of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failing to timely and accurately disclose an expenditure on a Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) report or for RCW 42.17A.320 by failing to provide sponsor identification on political advertising during the 2024 election.</p><p>The PDC finds that no further action is necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1) and WAC 390-37-060(1)(a).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1560950.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "156095 Mendoza_Maria Gloria Dismissal Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7083/156095%20Mendoza_Maria%20Gloria%20Dismissal%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}, {"file_name" : "156095 Mendoza_Gloria (Maria).docx", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7083/156095%20Mendoza_Gloria%20%28Maria%29.docx", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "156095 Maria Mendoza Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7083/156095%20Maria%20Mendoza%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]06/12/2025 04:51:31 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

After this realization, Clover Park hired a new accountant and legal counsel to ensure future compliance.”</p><p>The majority of C-3 reports filed with the PDC in January 2024 reported payroll deductions from Clover Park School District employees. </p><p>DeFilippis continued, noting the PDC was informed of the Committee’s actions to bring reporting into compliance before the complaint was filed and the Committee “provided a letter that explained the PAC’s history and requested an alternate response to investigation or adjudication if a complaint should issue.”</p><p>The Committee timely filed two C-4 reports prior to the February 2024 Special Election. The first, filed January 23, 2024, listed $18,106 in contributions during the campaign and $1,431.23 in expenditures. The second, filed February 6, 2024, listed $18,106 in contributions and $7,685.31 in expenditures.</p><p>While the Committee filed the pre-election reports timely, the amended reports filed in January 2024 included significantly different contribution and expenditure activity than was originally reported, which materially impacted the public interest.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(f), Clover Park Citizens for Schools completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) and paid a $600 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and RCW 42.17A.240.

They involved expenditures total no more than $500, occurred more than 30 days before the election, were inadvertent and minor in nature, and did not materially affect the public interest. Krystal Marx took corrective action as required by law for a remedial violation and Krystal Marx also substantially met all other required filing due dates within the previous 12-month period.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/959910.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "PDC Case 95991 Krystal Marx closed remediable.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4904/PDC%20Case%2095991%20Krystal%20Marx%20closed%20remediable.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Remedial resolution"}, {"file_name" : "PDC Case 95991 Krystal Marx response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4904/PDC%20Case%2095991%20Krystal%20Marx%20response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "95991 Marx Krystal Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/4904/95991%20Marx%20Krystal%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/27/2024 04:50:32 PMPDC staff resolved case after campaign remediated small-dollar reporting error.

Digital Room has been in business for nearly three decades helping “business to reach their customers, promote their products and built their brands.” Through more than a dozen ecommerce websites, including www.NextDayFlyers.com, Digital Room produces marketing and branding materials accessible to political campaigns in Washington state. Based on applicable activities, Digital Room, LLC, and its brands, is a “commercial advertiser” as defined in RCW 42.17A.005(10) & WAC 390-18-050.</li><li>RCW 42.17A.345 & WAC 390-18-050 require commercial advertisers to make their documents and books of account open for public inspection during normal business hours for five years following the election to which the records pertain. Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.345, the documents and books of account shall specify 1) the names and addresses of persons from whom it accepted political advertising or electioneering communications; 2) the exact nature and extent of the services rendered; and 3) the total cost and the manner of payment for the services. WAC 390-18-050(3) states that commercial advertisers can provide such information to the requester in person during normal business hours or electronically (if requested electronically) by email or online publication.</li><li>Conner Edwards emailed <a href="mailto:customercare@nextdayflyers.com">customercare@nextdayflyers.com</a> requesting to view the commercial advertiser books of account for expenditures by the <i>Washingtonians to Recall Inslee – 2023</i> committee. He then followed up the request several times and did not hear back from the company. PDC confirmed receipt of the request at the <a href="mailto:customercare@nextdayflyers.com">customercare@nextdayflyers.com</a> address. </li><li>During the case review PDC staff also emailed the “customercare” email address and did not receive a response. This email address is the email address listed on the Next Day Flyers website for their contact and customer care team. PDC Staff then called the ‘855’ phone number, also listed on the website, and did reach customer service. Unfortunately, the customer service staff was not familiar with how to handle the type of request made by PDC staff but eventually gave an email address for the Accounting Department. PDC staff sent the original complaint notification to the Accounting Department but again did not receive a response.</li><li>Upon reviewing data on the Better Business Bureau website, several other business locator sites, and the California Secretary of State’s business search website, PDC staff were able to determine that Next Day Flyers is a brand of Digital Room. Staff then called the Digital Room headquarters and after leaving several messages the Corporate Controller confirmed the relationship between Digital Room and Next Day Flyers and supplied a response to the complaint. </li><li>On April 22, 2024, Digital Room supplied the requested books of account materials to PDC staff, and you received the same materials, from the company, on May 3, 2024. A review of the materials shows substantial compliance with maintenance of records and supplying the information as asked (albeit belatedly).</li><li>As part of the resolution of this case, PDC staff requested Digital Room explain the future handling of an inspection request for books of account. Mr. Michael Green, Corporate Controller for Digital Room, said they are rolling out similar practices across all brands and specifically for Next Day Flyers “the measures we have put in place since becoming aware of this request:<ul><li>“Accounts Receivable and Customer Service teams have received additional training on how to handle similar requests in the future, mainly escalating this issue to myself and a back-up to further ingest and process requests of this nature and ensure a timely response.</li><li>“A filter has been put in place to re-direct requests of this nature to myself and a back-up to further ingest and process requests of this nature and ensure a timely response.</li><li>“We have added a ‘Legal Matters’ link to the footer pages of the NextDayFlyers website with contact information for our legal department and information specifically addressing PDC matters such as RCW 42.17A.345 / WAC 390-18-050. Click here to view the experience: <a href="https://www.nextdayflyers.com/legal-matters">https://www.nextdayflyers.com/legal-matters</a>”</li></ul></li><li>Neither Digital Room, nor any of its brands, have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to respond to a commercial advertiser inspection of the books of account does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Digital Room will receive a formal written warning concerning the requirement under RCW 42.17A.345 and WAC 390-18-050 for not responding to a commercial advertiser request for inspection of the books of account. Staff expects, moving forward, that Digital Room, and its brands, follow all laws and rules on requirements associated with commercial advertisers and political advertisements in Washington state. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1507420.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "150742 Next Day Flyers Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6532/150742%20Next%20Day%20Flyers%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "150742 Digital Room LLC (dba Next Day Flyers) Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6532/150742%20Digital%20Room%20LLC%20%28dba%20Next%20Day%20Flyers%29%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "150742 Next Day Flyers Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6532/150742%20Next%20Day%20Flyers%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "150742 Next Day Flyers Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]09/30/2024 01:53:41 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

However, these errors were unintentional and the difference between the originally reported Cash on Hand and current Cash on Hand for the 2018 campaign was approximately $1,000. The committee was eligible for and filed under the Mini Reporting option with $3,079.90 raised, $1,317.03 spent, and $1,762.87 Cash on Hand at the end of the campaign.</li><li>In this instance, the allegations of violations committed in the 2018 campaign are beyond the statute of limitations. Per RCW 42.17A.770, action must begin within five years after the date when the alleged violation occurred. </li><li>Regarding the carry forward for the 2024, campaign, the Treasurer amended the first Campaign Summary Receipts & Expenditures (C-4) report (#110191407), to ensure the 2024 campaign reported the correct carry forward balance. The difference between the original reported amount and the currently reported amount is $215. Consequently, the C-4 reports following the first report also had to be amended to ensure a correct carry forward. </li><li>The Respondent has been previously warned about timely and accurate reporting for the 2024 campaign. However, in this instance we find that amendments are insufficient evidence of late reporting. </li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to accurately and timely report the Cash on Hand for the end of the 2018 campaign and the beginning of the 2024 campaign does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Committee to Support Deer Park Schools made minor or ministerial errors on required reports, which did not materially affect the public interest. Upon notification of these errors the committee treasurer, Jody Hodgson, promptly amended their reports, making the necessary technical corrections as requested by staff.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is necessary and hereby resolves this matter as a technical correction per RCW 42.17A.755(1) & (2) and WAC 390-37-060.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1544890.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "154489 Committee to Support Deer Park Schools Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6851/154489%20Committee%20to%20Support%20Deer%20Park%20Schools%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "154489 Committee to Support Deer Park Schools Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "154489 Committee to Support Deer Park Schools Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6851/154489%20Committee%20to%20Support%20Deer%20Park%20Schools%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "154489 Committee to Support Deer Park Schools Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6851/154489%20Committee%20to%20Support%20Deer%20Park%20Schools%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Technical correction"}]06/18/2025 12:44:54 PMPDC staff resolved case after correction of minor or ministerial error.

(EY '21; Oct '21)RCW 29B.30.050/42.17A.320Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the three complaints filed on October 31, November 1, and November 3, 2021. The complaints alleged that John Skansi, a 2021 candidate for City Council for the City of Gig Harbor, may have violated RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to include sponsor identification on written political advertisements and a television advertisement.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; and the response provided by the Respondent to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>John Skansi was a first-time candidate in the 2021 election. It appears that the lack of sponsor ID on the mailer and flyer produced by Mr. Skansi were omitted due to his inexperience with PDC statutes and rules and possibly incorrect guidance given by PDC staff. In addition, the lack of sponsor ID on the flyer produced by a third party was the responsibility of Mr. Skansi before distribution but he was unaware of this obligation at the time.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to include sponsor identification on written political advertisements sponsored by the Respondent does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, John Skansi will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to include sponsor identification on two political advertisements paid for by him and one advertisement produced by a third party but distributed by him. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Mr. Skansi ensure that all future advertisements mailed or disseminated by him include the required sponsor identification information whether originally created by him or by a third party. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1003490.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "100349 Skansi, John Complaint 2.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5049/100349%20Skansi%2C%20John%20Complaint%202.pdf", "description" : "100349 Skansi, John Complaint 2", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "100349 Skansi John Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5049/100349%20Skansi%20John%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "100349 Skansi John Warning - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5049/100349%20Skansi%20John%20Warning%20-%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "100349 Skansi John Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5049/100349%20Skansi%20John%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "100349 Skansi John Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5049/100349%20Skansi%20John%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "100349 Skansi John Complaint 3.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5049/100349%20Skansi%20John%20Complaint%203.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/26/2024 08:14:58 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

You attached the Respondent’s August 2023 C-4 report as evidence of the alleged violation.</li><li>In its response to the complaint, the Respondent’s Campaign stated: “I have amended report 110174226 correcting these errors. This is my first time using the system and I inadvertently duplicated the Category information into the Description area.” </li><li>On September 19, 2023 – the same day it was notified of this complaint – the Campaign amended its August 2023 C-4 report to include more complete descriptions of the goods and services provided as well as the name and address of the vendors from which in-kind contributions were purchased.</li></ul><p>Based on these findings the staff has determined that, in this instance, no evidence supports a finding of a violation warranting further investigation. The in-kind contributions in total were below the contribution limit for this office, occurred more than 30 days before the election, were inadvertent and minor in nature, and did not materially affect the public interest. Christopher Ortiz took timely corrective action and also substantially met all other required filing due dates within the previous 12-month period.</p><p>Additionally, as to the WAC 390-16-034 allegation regarding failure to provide contributor's employer and occupation, the staff found that the contributor in question was the candidate.

725815852508/19/202408/19/202411/15/2024Conner EdwardsX (formerly Twitter)X (formerly Twitter): Alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.345 for failure to timely provide complete commercial advertiser books of account upon request (EY24,AUG24)RCW 29B.30.090/42.17A.345Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsCommercial Advertiser<p>PDC staff reviewed the allegation listed in the complaint; the information submitted with the complaint, the relevant statute(s) and rules, the response to the complaint, and other relevant information to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>Based on this review, staff found the following:</p><ul><li>RCW 42.17A.345 requires commercial advertisers that accept or provide political advertising or electioneering communications to maintain certain records including information about the advertising they sell. These records, called “books of account,” must be open to public inspection during normal business hours during the campaign and for at least five years after the election.</li><li>WAC 390-18-050 establishes what information must be maintained and provides that a commercial advertiser may have up to three business days to update its books of account upon receiving notice or any missing political advertising. </li><li>Based on evidence in the complaint, candidates for public office reported expenditures to the Respondent for political advertising.</li><li>To review the Respondent’s books of account, you sent an email to <a href="mailto:wa-elections-ads@twitter.com">wa-elections-ads@twitter.com</a> on July 1, 2024. The email did not show for which years or for which candidates or committees you were requesting the commercial advertiser books of account.</li><li>When the Respondent provided you with a URL link to their web-based commercial advertiser books of account, you filed a complaint with the PDC naming “William Combs” as an example of a record they failed to include in the materials provided to you.</li><li>PDC staff contacted the Respondent by email and Austin Lomax, Senior Legal Counsel, responded on August 29, 2024, that the Respondent had provided you an updated disclosure report on August 28, 2024, that included five more advertisements from William Combs’ Washington gubernatorial candidate’s account identified in the complaint. The responsive records were provided per WAC 390-18-050(5).</li><li>On September 3, 2024, you identified to PDC staff other campaigns that had reported advertisements on the Respondent’s platform and that the Respondent had not provided books of account records to you.</li><li>On September 10, 2024, PDC staff received notice from the Respondent’s outside counsel, Mr. Mark Lamb, that the Respondent provided to you, on September 6, 2024, additional records to include:</li><li>First, for Semi Bird, X updated the disclosure with five (5) ads from @CommonSenseSemi. The responsive records were provided per WAC 390-18-050(5).</li><li>Second, for Joshua Freed, Let People Vote, Question PAC, and Tammy Morales, the Respondent explained that these disclosures were the subject of litigation and a settlement with the State of Washington. Respondent’s counsel stated:<ul><li>In <i>Washington v. Twitter, Inc.,</i> (No. 20-2-15134-3, King Cty. Sup. Ct.), X (then Twitter, Inc.) provided a disclosure report to a claimant and later acknowledged to the PDC that the report was missing certain data related to these candidates and organizations, as well as others. X then entered into the settlement with the State that “fully resolve[d] Twitter’s liability under RCW 42.17A.345 and WAC 290-18-050 with respect to any political advertisements posted to Twitter up to November 22, 2019.”</li><li>Thus, X has already settled any potential claims related to these advertisements. For the sake of transparency, however, X has provided Mr. Edwards the same report today that it provided to the complainant in that case (PDC Case 59521). Additionally, it previously pointed Mr. Edwards to its reports available at <a href="https://business.x.com/en/help/ads-policies/product-policies/ads-transparency.html">https://business.x.com/en/help/ads-policies/product-policies/ads-transparency.html</a></li><li>Third, for Eduardo Castaneda, X reported that it did a thorough search based on the information provided by Complainant. X identified no responsive records related to Eduardo Castaneda and does not believe any responsive records ever existed.</li></ul></li></ul><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1) and WAC 390-37-060(1)(a). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1585250.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "158525 Twitter_X Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7258/158525%20Twitter_X%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}, {"file_name" : "158525 Twitter_X Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7258/158525%20Twitter_X%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "158525 Twitter - X Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7258/158525%20Twitter%20-%20X%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]11/15/2024 04:02:33 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

(CY24, MAY24)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningPolitical Committee - Democratic Bona Fide<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed on May 27, 2024. The complaint alleged that the Thurston County Democrats, a county bona fide political party committee, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 for failure to submit Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure report (C-4 report) for March 2024.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and supporting documentation; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Committee Chair, Cade Walker, on behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the late submission of the March 2024 C-4 report was due to an unknown vendor issue and, during the transition to a new treasurer, the Respondent’s lack of follow up to ensure the report was posted to the PDC’s website. Staff was able to see the confirmation provided by the vendor showing the Respondent’s attempt to timely file the C-4 report on April 10, 2024.

WAC 390-18-010 further clarifies and explains the requirements for sponsor identification and political advertising. Per WAC 390-18-020, if a candidate has expressed a party or independent preference on the Declaration of Candidacy, advertising supporting or opposing a candidate must clearly identify the candidates political party or independent status in the advertising.</li><li>Per RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, under the Full Reporting option, a committee is required to disclose contribution and expenditure information by submitting Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports and Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports to the PDC. The Committee’s due dates for the C-3 and C-4 reports are determined by its activity and participation in the election cycle. <ul><li>RCW 42.17A.235(3)(a) indicates a C-4 report is due each month “if the committee has received a contribution or made an expenditure in the preceding calendar month and either the total contributions received, or the total expenditures made since the last such report exceed $750.”</li></ul></li></ul><p>Background & Findings </p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>The Respondent first filed a Candidate Registration (C-1) on May 10, 2024, for the Full Reporting option. The registration has been amended multiple times. The campaign Treasurer is Dottie Moffitt.</li><li>Prior to your complaint, the website for Marnie Claywell’s campaign, <a href="https://claywell4house38.com">https://claywell4house38.com</a>, did not provide complete sponsor identification. On July 15, 2024, the Respondent said that she updated the website with the campaign address and required “Paid for by” language. PDC staff notified the Respondent on September 10, 2024, the party preference also needed to be disclosed on the website. The website was updated accordingly as of September 13, 2024.</li><li>The case review determined there are many late filed C-3 and C-4 reports since the beginning of the campaign in May 2024.<ul><li>Of note, the first C-3 filed showed a contribution of $700 received on May 9, 2024, and loans of $865.31 from the candidate to their campaign, filed on June 28, 2024, 18 days late. The corresponding C-4 was originally filed on June 28, 2024, 18 days late, and amended on September 11, 2024, to correct an accounting error.</li><li>All the June C-3 reports, due weekly, were filed late in July 2024. The June C-4 was filed timely.</li><li>The first C-3 filed in July was submitted four days late, the 21-day C-4 was filed three days late, and the 7-day C-4 and final C-3 for July were filed timely.</li><li>There were eight C-3s filed for August and all but one were submitted late by more than a few days. The Post-Election C-4 was filed timely.</li><li>The C-3 filed for September 3, 2024, was filed one day late on September 10, 2024.</li><li>To date, the campaign has reported raising $4,743.88 and expending $4,295.57, with $697.11 in debt. </li></ul></li><li>In their response, the Respondent said that early in their campaign they were dealing with a family illness and death which caused some of the early campaign late filed reports.

(EY'24, MAR'24)WAC 390-18-050, RCW 29B.30.090/42.17A.345Case Closed with Written WarningCommercial Advertiser<p>On March 15, 2024, the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) received a complaint alleging that Whiplash Apparel, LLC, a commercial advertiser located in Yakima, Washington, may have violated RCW 42.17A.345 and WAC 390-18-050 for failure to respond to a commercial advertiser request to inspect books of account. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations/complaint and noted that complainant in this matter sent two commercial advertiser requests to the Respondent via email on February 18 and again on March 4, 2024. The Respondent failed to respond to both requests. Staff noted, based on the information received from the Respondent, that the email requests for commercial advertiser requests were never received by the Respondent because she was not actively monitoring the email provided to the public for Whiplash Apparel, LLC., and therefore failed to respond to a request to inspect books of account. </p><p>While the Respondent failed to respond to two commercial advertiser requests to inspect books of account, she was not aware that there was a request to inspect books. As soon as it was brought to her attention, she took responsibility by working with the complainant to obtain the records needed/requested. </p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), staff issued a formal written warning to the Respondent concerning its failure to monitor and maintain an official working email that is monitored constantly in case of a commercial advertiser request for books of account inspection and for failure to respond to such a request. </p><p>Accordingly, the PDC dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1508520.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "150852 Whiplash Apparel LLC Committee Complaint Disposition Letter .....pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6534/150852%20Whiplash%20Apparel%20LLC%20Committee%20Complaint%20Disposition%20Letter%20.....pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "150852 Whiplash Apparel LLC Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6534/150852%20Whiplash%20Apparel%20LLC%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "150852 Whiplash Apparel LLC Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]07/19/2024 04:03:55 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(NOV'23, EY'23)RCW 29B.30.050/42.17A.320Case Closed with Written WarningPolitical Committee - Local Issue<p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>No Mega Jail in Ferndale (the Committee) is a volunteer-led political action committee that participated in the 2023 election in opposition to ballot proposition #2023-04 in Whatcom County. The Committee filed a Political Committee registration (C-1pc) on September 20, 2023, under the Full Reporting option. The Committee Chair is Cleveland Harris, and the Treasurer is Philip Lloyd.</li><li>RCW 42.17A.320 states, “All written political advertising, whether relating to candidates or ballot propositions, shall include the sponsor’s name and address.” The statute exempts certain forms of political advertising where sponsor identification is impractical. The information required to appear on political advertising shall appear on the first page or fold of the written advertisement or communication in at least ten-point type, or in type at least ten percent of the largest size type used in a written advertisement or communication directed at more than one voter, such as a billboard or poster, whichever is larger; not be subject to the half-tone or screening process; and be set apart from any other printed matter. No text may be before, after, or immediately adjacent to the information required. WAC 390-18-010 further clarifies and explains the requirements for sponsor identification and political advertising.</li><li>The Committee sponsored multiple political advertisements to include a website, QR Code and Linktree site, handbill flyer, yard signs, and a mailer. Per RCW 42.17A.320, the non-except political advertisements all required complete sponsor identification on the materials. This identification was incomplete on the website and missing in all other instances.</li><li>Mitigating factors in this case were that the $500 contribution received on October 20, 2023, occurred after the creation of the website, QR Code and Linktree, and handbill flyer and before the costs for political advertising exceeded the threshold for Top 5 contributor identification. As well the $75,000 contribution received on November 1, 2023, occurred after the development of the wall signs and the mailer. </li><li>Neither the Committee nor its officers have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to provide complete sponsor identification does not appear to be a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, No Mega Jail in Ferndale will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to include all components of complete sponsor identification on political advertising. The formal written warning includes staff’s expectation that representatives of No Mega Jail in Ferndale comply with all laws, rules and PDC guidance in the future pertaining to sponsor identification. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1454080.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "145408 No Mega Jail in Ferndale Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6343/145408%20No%20Mega%20Jail%20in%20Ferndale%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "145408 No Mega Jail In Ferndale Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6343/145408%20No%20Mega%20Jail%20In%20Ferndale%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "145408 No Mega Jail In Ferndale Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "145408 No Mega Jail in Ferndale Initial Hearing Results Letters (Respondent).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6343/145408%20No%20Mega%20Jail%20in%20Ferndale%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20Letters%20%28Respondent%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "145408 No Mega Jail in Ferndale Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6343/145408%20No%20Mega%20Jail%20in%20Ferndale%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]12/17/2024 10:10:37 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(EY'18-'23; Aug ‘23)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Resolved through Statement of Understanding (SOU)Political Committee - Education<p>This case alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely & accurately disclose contributions & expenditures on reports for election years 2018-2023, including required expenditure details on reports. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and evidence submitted; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by Kennewick Citizens Levy & Bond Committee (the “Respondent”); the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and other relevant information to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Based on the <strong>attached</strong> findings, this case was resolved as follows:</p><p>On May 28, 2024, Kennewick Citizens Levy & Bond Committee completed a <i>Statement of Understanding</i> (SOU) and paid a $150 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging a violation of RCW 42.17A.235 and RCW 42.17A.240 by failing to timely and accurately file a 7-day pre-Special Election C-4 report (covering 1/18/22-1/31/22). The original report was due on February 1, 2022, filed 10 days late, and did not disclose any expenditures. The committee amended the C-4 report on June 6, 2022 to disclose over $9,500 in election-related (levy) expenditures. These expenditures were reported 125 days late, after the February 8, 2022 Special Election to which they relate, and deprived the public of information during a time-sensitive period in the election cycle. The $150 civil penalty assessed resolves the above allegation.</p><p>Furthermore, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Kennewick Citizens Levy & Bond Committee received a formal written warning concerning their failure to 1) timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports disclosing their contributions and expenditures; and 2) preserve the committee’s books of account, bills, receipts, and other financial records for no less than five calendar years. The formal written warning included staff’s expectation that Kennewick Citizens Levy & Bond Committee comply with the above requirements in the future. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>PDC staff also reminded Kennewick Citizens Levy & Bond Committee about the importance of 1) disclosing sufficient details on C-4 reports regarding the purpose and/or description of expenditures; and 2) submitting amended reports within 21 days of the original reports, when possible, in the future in accordance with PDC laws and rules or guidance.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/141620150.000.000.00150.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141620 Kennewick Citz Levy & Bond Comm Initial Hearing Results (Complainant).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6122/141620%20Kennewick%20Citz%20Levy%20%26%20Bond%20Comm%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20%28Complainant%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "SOU - 141620 - Kennewick Citizens Levy & Bond Committee.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6122/SOU%20-%20141620%20-%20Kennewick%20Citizens%20Levy%20%26%20Bond%20Committee.pdf", "description" : "SOU - 141620 - Kennewick Citizens Levy & Bond Committee", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "141620 Kennewick Citz Levy & Bond Comm Initial Hearing Results (Respondent).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6122/141620%20Kennewick%20Citz%20Levy%20%26%20Bond%20Comm%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20%28Respondent%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "PDC Response 141620 Resorted Late Reporting 9.11.2023.xlsx", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6122/PDC%20Response%20141620%20Resorted%20Late%20Reporting%209.11.2023.xlsx", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141620 Kennewick Citizens Levy & Bond Committee Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6122/141620%20Kennewick%20Citizens%20Levy%20%26%20Bond%20Committee%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141620 Kennewick Citizens Levy & Bond Committee Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6122/141620%20Kennewick%20Citizens%20Levy%20%26%20Bond%20Committee%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141620 Kennewick Citz Levy & Bond Committee SOU_Warning letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6122/141620%20Kennewick%20Citz%20Levy%20%26%20Bond%20Committee%20SOU_Warning%20letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}][{"who" : "Kennewick Citizens Levy & Bond Committee", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2024-06-07", "amount" : 150.00, "description" : "SOU", "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2024-06-05", "amount" : 150.00, "description" : "SOU Payment"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]04/23/2025 10:00:47 AMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

The complaint alleged that Lisa Knight Alexander, a current member of the Kelso City Council, may have violated RCW 42.17A.710 for failure to accurately file a Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) disclosing income received from the City of Kelso as an elected official.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the missing information from Ms. Alexander’s current F-1 report was due to a minor oversight. Staff found no evidence that the Respondent omitted personal financial affairs information from her F-1 reports in order to purposely conceal it from the public.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely disclose reportable income on the annual F-1 report covering calendar year 2023 does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Lisa Knight Alexander will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to disclose all reportable personal financial information for herself on the F-1 report filed in 2024 as an elected official. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Ms. Alexander accurately and timely files all future required reports of financial affairs. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1556240.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "155624 Lisa Knight Alexander Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7069/155624%20Lisa%20Knight%20Alexander%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "155624 Lisa Knight Alexander Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "155624 Knight Alexander Lisa Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7069/155624%20Knight%20Alexander%20Lisa%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "155624 Knight Alexander Lisa Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7069/155624%20Knight%20Alexander%20Lisa%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]10/02/2024 10:55:34 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

It alleged, “On their opening C4, they listed an opening balance of $121.24. There is no indication of where this money came from. This likely means there has been unreported activity of some kind.” </li><li>In its response to the complaint, the Committee, by way of its treasurer, Mark Madsen, stated: “At the initial formation of the campaign, two members made in-kind contributions to rent a post office box and register an internet domain name (yesforlibrarylevy.org). The PO Box was necessary to obtain the bank account initially, so it occurred prior to being able to pay any expenses from the campaign account. Thus, our campaign chair paid for the PO Box out of pocket and claimed it as an in-kind contribution. Similarly, the domain name was acquired by the campaign treasurer in order to establish our initial website, and was paid out of pocket and claimed as an in-kind contribution. These two in-kind contributions total 121.24, which matches the amount cited in the complaint.” </li><li>Staff noted that the April C-4 report at issue in this matter should have depicted the two in-kind contributions received by the Committee for a post office box and internet domain registration. </li><li>On August 5, 2024, the Committee filed an amended C-4 report for April 2024 to capture the two in-kind contributions received in April 2024, to account for the $121.24 in in-kind contributions that was initially reported as “previous total cash and in-kind contributions” on line 1 of the April C-4 report that was originally filed on May 10, 2024. </li></ul><p>YesForLibraryLevy made a minor or ministerial error on a required report, which did not materially impact the public interest.

(EY24 SEP24)RCW 29B.45.010/42.17A.555Case Closed with Written WarningPublic Agency - Local<p><br>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and evidence you submitted; the applicable statutes, rules, and <br>PDC guidance; the response provided by the Kent School Board of Directors (the “Respondent”); and <br>other relevant information to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more <br>violations.<br> </p><p>Applicable Laws & Rules<br>• RCW 42.17A.555 prohibits elected or appointed officials, their employees, and employees of a <br>public office or agency from using, or authorizing the use of, public office/agency facilities <br>(resources), directly or indirectly, for the purpose of assisting an election campaign or for the <br>promotion of, or opposition to, any ballot proposition.<br>• WAC 390-05-271(1) states that RCW 42.17A.555 does not restrict the right of any individual to <br>express their own personal views concerning supporting or opposing any candidate if such expression <br>does not involve a use of public office or agency facilities.<br>• WAC 390-05-273 defines normal and regular conduct to mean conduct, which is lawful, and usual. <br>No one may authorize a use of public facilities for the purpose of helping a candidate’s campaign <br>or promoting or opposing a ballot proposition, in the absence of a constitutional, charter, or <br>statutory provision separately authorizing such use.<br>Background & Findings</p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:<br>•The Kent School Board of Directors (the “Board”) is an elected five-member board where each board <br>member serves a four-year term. Meghin Margel is the currently appointed Board of Directors <br>President. The Board is responsible and accountable for the Kent School District which serves <br>students at 44 schools and encompasses Auburn, Black Diamond, Covington, Kent, Maple Valley, <br>Renton, SeaTac, and unincorporated King County.</p><p>• At the July 10, 2024, Special Board Meeting, Resolution 1680 was adopted by the Board concerning <br>a proposition for a replacement capital projects and technology levy. The ballot measure was put on <br>the November 5, 2024, General Election ballot as Proposition No. 1 and it did pass.<br>• On September 25, 2024, the Board met for a regularly scheduled meeting, at which there was time <br>reserved on the agenda for a “preliminary comment period.” Per the Board Policies and Procedures, <br>#1420P, this period is allotted “30-minutes and is for non-agenda items or comments without a <br>specific agenda item.” During this period, multiple teachers, speaking as members of the public, <br>made comments in support of the ballot measure on the General Election ballot.<br>• PDC staff reviewed the video of the September board meeting and at no time did any board member <br>or the Board President limit or stop the public comments to avoid violating RCW 42.17A.555. <br>However, the Board President did stop public comment and remind the audience about applicable <br>policies related to other topics of public comment.<br>• RCW 42.17A.555 does allow a school board to vote on a resolution to support or oppose a ballot <br>measure at a properly noticed public meeting. The public must be given proper notice of a vote on <br>this type of a resolution and provided time for comment in support of or opposition to the board’s <br>resolution. However, RCW 42.17A.555 does not allow a board to permit its regular comment periods to <br>become forums for campaign advocacy.<br>• The Board does not have previous warnings or violations of similar PDC requirements.<br>Summary and Resolution</p><p>Based on our findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to stop public comment <br>that either supports or opposes a ballot measure, except for in instances when those type of <br>comments are allowed by law, does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, the Kent School Board of Directors will receive a formal <br>written warning concerning their failure to comply with RCW 42.17A.555. Staff expects that in the <br>future the Board will not allow public comment that either supports or opposes a ballot measure <br>except for in instances when those type of comments are allowed by law.

Staff expects the Respondent to timely file all future required reports of contributions and expenditures and provide complete descriptions of expenditures. The Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. Relevant facts follow:</p><p><strong>Background</strong></p><ul><li>In 2012, Lopez Island residents helped build a community-led waste disposal system by creating the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District (LSWDD), a junior taxing district responsible for solid waste disposal. LSWDD is led and staffed by community members. It provides garbage disposal, free self-sorted recycling, and free exchange of reusables.</li><li>Citizens for Lopez Solid Waste Levy Committee Sponsored by Solid Waste Alternatives Program is a political committee whose sole contributor is Solid Waste Alternatives Program (SWAP). As needed, LSWDD places a levy on the ballot to fund its operations. For each election, SWAP makes a $3,000 contribution to the Committee to support passage of the levy. After the election, the Committee returns any unused funds to SWAP, retaining enough to keep the Committee’s bank account open. The Committee stated that in 2023, 87 percent of voters voted to approve the levy.</li></ul><p><strong>Late Reporting</strong></p><ul><li>Marly Schmidtke, Treasurer for the PAC, stated that in no way is Citizens for Lopez Solid Waste Levy Committee Sponsored by Solid Waste Alternatives Program intentionally or maliciously “attempting to conceal the truth about political activity from the public” or “failing to accurately describe expenses” for any purpose, especially that of concealing information from the public.</li><li>Ms. Schmidtke stated that since assuming the role of treasurer she has accurately reported the PAC’s single $3,000 contribution it receives from SWAP each time there is an election and has accurately reported and itemized expenditures for each levy campaign.</li><li>Ms. Schmidtke stated that the discrepancies reflected in some reports are the result of innocent mistakes made before she became treasurer for which she reached out to the PDC for assistance and did her best to correct.</li><li>In her response to Mr. Morgan’s complaint, Ms. Schmidtke stated, “Regarding late filings since the inception of the SAW PDC filing system, I admit I have failed to adhere to the filing date deadlines much to my own chagrin. I certainly will be paying much closer attention to filing deadlines from now on.” </li><li>Original C-3 report #101 008 197 included a $3,000 contribution from SWAP that was deposited on 8/5/2020 and reported 70 days late on 10/19/2020. The C-3 report was amended on 3/2/2021 to increase the contribution to $3,085.15. The additional $85.15 was reported 204 days late.</li><li>Original C-4 report #110 071 238, covering the period 10/26/2021 – 11/30/2021, included a $426.80 expenditure for postage, mail permits, and stamps. The report was filed 48 days late on 1/27/2022.</li><li>A C-4 report covering the period 1/1/2022 – 10/17/2022, submitted 10/17/2022, included a $3,000 contribution received 7/18/2022, making the report due 8/10/2022. It was filed two months late.</li><li>The Committee filed C-4 Report No. 110 224 789, covering the reporting period 10/31/2023 - 12/31/2023, six months late on 6/25/2024. The Committee received no contributions during the reporting period, and its only activity, other than a $970.29 refund to the PAC's sole contributor (SWAP) for the unused portion of their contribution, was a payment to SWAP for postage totaling $432.43. Concerning why the report was filed late, the treasurer stated, “With regard to the complaint made by Conner Edwards, I cannot recall the specifics of why C-4 Report No. 110 224 789 wasn't filed in December 2023. Given the fact that I stated I would be more mindful of filing dates. I suspect I went through the motions of filing the report and somehow it didn't go through. I tend to encounter issues with the filing system that require me to re-enter and refile. Believing I had filed the December report I would not have noticed until June when I logged in again that the report had not actually been filed so I filed it immediately.” </li><li>Ms. Schmidtke also noted that at the time of Case 59315, the 2019 complaint alleging that the committee failed to include the sponsor’s name in the committee’s name, she reached out to the PDC for assistance and amended the Committee’s registration to include the name of its sponsor, Solid Waste Alternatives Program. PDC staff issued a Reminder in Case 59315 about the importance of including its sponsor in the Committee’s name.</li></ul><p><strong>Alleged Failure to Describe Expenditures</strong></p><ul><li>The C-4 report covering the period 1/1/2022 – 10/17/2022 included an expenditure of $205.23 for yard signs but did not state how many yard signs were purchased. On 11/27/2023, following receipt of the complaint, the committee amended the report, describing the purchase as one large double-sided sign printed in English and Spanish.</li><li>The C-4 Report covering the period 1/1/2023 - 2/28/2023 included an expense of $812.03 for mailers/posters but did not state how many mailers/posters were purchased. At the request of PDC staff, the committee amended the report on 6/25/2024 to state that the number of mailers purchased was 1,050 and the number of posters purchased was 20.</li></ul>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1418210.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "141821 Initial Hearing Results - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6139/141821%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141821 Citizens for Lopez Solid Waste Levy PAC Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6139/141821%20Citizens%20for%20Lopez%20Solid%20Waste%20Levy%20PAC%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "141821 Citizens for Lopez Solid Waste Levy PAC Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141821 Initial Hearing Results - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6139/141821%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141821 Response to Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6139/141821%20Response%20to%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "141821 Combined Case Closure Letters.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6139/141821%20Combined%20Case%20Closure%20Letters.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "141821 Citizens for Lopez Solid Waste Levy Supplemental Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6139/141821%20Citizens%20for%20Lopez%20Solid%20Waste%20Levy%20Supplemental%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "141821 Citizens for Lopez Solid Waste Levy Supplemental Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]08/07/2025 04:09:40 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

A Declaration of Candidacy was filed on May 9, 2024. The Respondent is a current County Commissioner for Island County and was on the 2024 Primary Election ballot. <br>• PDC staff reviewed the reports alleged to have been filed late and confirmed the reports were filed late as indicated in your complaint. In the Respondent’s response to the first complaint, she acknowledged that early in her campaign there was late filing of reports and took responsibility for the late reporting. <br>• For the allegation of missing expenditure details on C4 110217560, the report was amended on September 13, 2024, with the required information.<br>• For the allegation that the first C-4 report starting the campaign showed a $0 starting balance, this allegation is confirmed. The report was amended on July 18, 2024, to reflect a corrected carry forward balance from the 2020 campaign. The Respondent accepted responsibility for the error in reporting.<br>• Staff do note there are many late filed C-3 and C-4 reports, throughout the campaign, not called out in your complaints.

The C-4 filed for the entire calendar year was filed one month late. Total contributions raised were $2,168 and there were no expenditures.</li><li>PDC staff notified the Respondent about the complaint on July 11, 2024. The Respondent acted between July 14 and July 16, 2024, to correct the alleged incorrect carry forward at the start of the 2021 calendar year. The reporting record shows the Respondent did take part in the 2021 election.<br>o C-4 #110009927, for the period January 1, 2021, to January 31, 2021, was originally submitted on September 1, 2021, showing no contributions or expenditures. The carryforward was amended on July 16, 2024.<br>o The C-3s filed between February 2021 and May 2021 were filed timely. The June and July 2021 C-3s were each filed a month late.

The total contributions raised were $11,377 and there were no expenditures. The reported contribution activity was from payroll deductions made by the Respondent’s members.</li><li>Staff found that between January and June 2024, the Respondent met the contribution threshold each month and therefore had a requirement to file the following reports, which were submitted as follows:<br>o The January C-3 was filed timely, and the C-4 was originally filed timely but then amended on July 16, 2024, to revise the carryforward for the start of the calendar year.<br>o February’s C-3 was filed 3 months late, and the C-4 was 4 months late.<br>o The March C-3 and C-4 were filed 3 months late.<br>o April’s C-3 was filed 1 month late, and the C-4 was 2 months late.<br>o The May C-3 and C-4 were filed 1 month late.<br>o June’s C-3 was timely, and the C-4 was filed 1 month late.<br>o Total contributions raised were $6,873 and there were no expenditures.

They attended a Brief Adjudicative Proceeding (BAP) on August 12, 2021, for case 95333, and were ordered to pay a $400 civil penalty, with $300 suspended, for the missing C-1. The missing C-1 was filed on November 1, 2021, but the $100 civil penalty was not paid within 30-days of the Order, nor did the Respondent file the missing C-3 and C-4 reports for their 2021 campaign. At the time the Respondent filed the C-1, they selected the Mini Reporting option but failed to file any C-3 or C-4 reports during the period in which they were required to file as a full reporter. The suspended penalty of $300 was reinstated and the total civil penalty of $400 was sent to collections.<br>• On September 9, 2024, a C-4 and C-3 were filed for the period of June 7, 2021, through November 30, 2021, showing that the Respondent was the only contributor to their campaign and that there were campaign receipts and expenditures totaling $152.10.<br>• The $400 civil penalty for case 95333 was paid on October 22, 2024.<br> </p><p>2024 Election<br>• On January 1, 2024, the Respondent filed a Candidate Registration (C-1), for the Full Reporting option. They are running in election year 2024 for the Washington State House of Representatives, Legislative District 14.<br>• The Respondent filed a C-4 report, for the period November 12, 2023, through December 31, 2023, reporting “non-itemized expenditures” of $374.79, a deposit of $92.55 from the candidate to the campaign, and “small contributions” of $100. Based on this reporting, the campaign started in November 2023 and should have filed the C-1 within 2-weeks, no later than December 1, 2023, of the campaign account being funded or expenditures being incurred. The C-1 was filed five weeks late.<br>• On May 16, 2024, the Respondent was issued a Warning from the PDC in case 149296. PDC staff determined that the Respondent was required to file C-3 reports for each deposit made in the previous month and a C-4 report covering the period through the last day of the previous month(s). The reports were due on January 10, 2024, for the period between December 1 and 31, 2023; February 12, 2024, for deposits made in January 2024; and March 11, 2024, for deposits made in February 2024. The Warning, in case 149296, did not address a C-4 that the Respondent failed to file for the period November 17, 2023, to November 30, 2023. This C-4 was filed seven months late, on July 15, 2024. The report was amended three times with the last amendment being on July 31, 2024. The Respondent should have filed a C-4 report for November 2023 by December 10, 2023. There was one C-3 report filed seven months late, on July 29, 2024, for a deposit made on November 22, 2023.<br>• The following Primary Election 2024 reports are included in the Statement of Understanding referenced below:<br>o The April C-4 filed 2.5 months late and an April C-3, for a deposit on April 23, 2024, filed 19-days late.<br>o The May C-4 was initially filed a month late and then amended with significant receipts and expenditures reported, making the report 7 weeks late. The May C-3s were filed timely.<br>o The June C-4 was due by July 10, 2024, but was initially filed on June 14, 2024, and then amended five times with a final report submitted on July 31, 2024, making it 21 days late. Five of the six C-3s filed in June were filed between 1 to 7 weeks late with only one of the C-3s filed that month submitted timely.<br>o The 21-day C-4 report was initially filed timely, July 16, 2024, but then amended and refiled on July 31, 2024. There were five associated C-3 reports, three of which were filed late but within July.<br>o The 7-day C-4 report was filed timely, as were the associated C-3 reports.<br>o The post-election C-4 for July 30, 2024, through August 31, 2024, was originally filed timely on September 9, 2024, but amended two days later to include an in-kind contribution associated with one of the complaints in this case. There were nine C-3 reports filed for the period July 30, 2024, through August 31, 2024; three reports were filed 21-days late.<br>o For C-4 #110222294, there were two expenditures to Vistaprint that occurred in April 2024 and were missing the number of items printed. The descriptions were amended and as of July 31, 2024, show the required number of printed items. This addressed one of the allegations in a complaint filed with the PDC by Conner Edwards.<br>o For C-4 #110234765, for the period July 1, 2024, through July 15, 2024, there is an expenditure to Parker Outdoors, paid on July 10, 2024, for $1600 for “Electronic Billboard.” The Post-election C-4, #110244866 as amended on September 11, 2024, also shows an expenditure for signs. These reports address an allegation of missing expenditure reporting for “billboards” In a complaint filed by Kenton Gartrell.<br> </p><p>Summary and Resolution<br>Chelsea Dimas completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) and paid a $750 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging violations for a 2nd offence of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for late filed 2021 and 2024 C-3 and C-4 reports, and a 2nd offence for violation of RCW 42.17A.205 for a late filed 2024 Candidate Registration (C-1).

(EY24, May24)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningPolitical Committee - Other<p>PDC staff reviewed the allegation(s); the applicable statutes and rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>Dxwlalip Leaders is a political action committee (PAC) created to help elect Tribal Members into every level of political office in Washington State. The PAC is sponsored by Tulalip Tribes of Washington, a Federally Recognized Tribe, who are descendants and successors in interest to the Snohomish, Snoqualmie, Skykomish, and other allied bands signatory to the 1855 Treaty of Point Elliot.</li><li>The Respondent first filed a Political Committee Registration (C-1pc) on October 15, 2021, for continuing committee status and the Full Reporting option. The current committee Chairperson is Teri Gobin, and the Treasurer is Ryan Miller.</li><li>The Respondent filed a Cash Receipts Monetary Contributions (C-3) report on May 6, 2024, itemizing a contribution, deposited on March 15, 2024, for $100,000 from Tulalip Tribes of Washington. A Campaign Summary Receipts & Expenditures (C-4) report, for period January 1, 2024, to April 30, 2024, was filed on May 6, 2024, also showing the $100,000 as a contribution.</li><li>In their response from June 12, 2024, the Respondent said: [T]he report filed on 5/6/2024 indicated that a $100,000 depositwas made on 3/15 but this was simply a miscommunication internally, a contribution from the sponsoring entity of the dxwlalip leaders PAC was approved on that date but the deposit wasn’t actually made until 6/5/2024. </li><li>Per PDC Interpretation 12-01, “Pledges of $150 or more are reportable in Part 2 of Schedule B. Until redeemed or cancelled, the pledge will appear on the C-4 report, Schedule B, section 2.”</li><li>Based on the guidance provided in PDC Interpretation 12-01, the Respondent reported the contribution of $100,000 incorrectly and should have reported the sum in April 2024 as a pledge on the monthly C-4 report. Once redeemed in June 2024, the contribution should have been reported on a weekly C-3 report in June. Because the PAC was not supporting or opposing any candidates in this period, the contribution should have been reported on the monthly C-4 report due in July. The $100,000 was reported approximately one month late.<ul><li>Note the pledge cannot be reported retroactively because the Online Reporting Campaign Activity (ORCA) system cancels out a pledge once redeemed and reported as a contribution. The applicable reports in ORCA were amended on June 6, 2024, to reflect the deposit of the contribution on June 5, 2024. </li></ul></li><li>The Respondent does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failing to timely and accurately report a contribution does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Dxwlalip Leaders sponsored by Tulalip Tribes of Washington will receive a formal written warning concerning the requirement under RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failing to timely and accurately report a contribution. Staff expects the committee, moving forward, to follow all laws, rules and PDC guidance about filing timely and accurate reports of contributions. If violations of PDC laws or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1541950.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "154194 Dxwlalip Leaders SP by Tulalip Tribes of WA Complaint Return Ltr (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6848/154194%20Dxwlalip%20Leaders%20SP%20by%20Tulalip%20Tribes%20of%20WA%20Complaint%20Return%20Ltr%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "154194 Dxwlalip Leaders Sponsored by Tulalip Tribes of Washington Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6848/154194%20Dxwlalip%20Leaders%20Sponsored%20by%20Tulalip%20Tribes%20of%20Washington%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "154195 Dxwlalip Leaders Sponsored by Tulalip Tribes of Washington Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6848/154195%20Dxwlalip%20Leaders%20Sponsored%20by%20Tulalip%20Tribes%20of%20Washington%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]06/18/2025 12:43:55 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The first complaint alleged that a mailer expenditure for election year 2023 was not reported, and that case was resolved with a Warning letter. The second complaint, which was filed some months later, alleged 1) an expenditure description for election year 2023 was inaccurate; and 2) reports for election year 2023 were not accurate as evidenced by a negative ending balance on the campaign's last C-4 report. The allegations made in both complaints concerned reports filed for the same election year.

(EY22 MAY24)RCW 29B.25.110/42.17A.250Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsPolitical Committee - Union<p>A complaint was filed against the International Union of Painters Allied Trades Political Action Together PAC, alleging violations of RCW 42.17A.250 by the International Union of Painters Allied Trades Political Action Together PAC for failing to file Out-of-State political committee reports (C-5 reports) disclosing political contributions made to local, Legislative and Executive candidates seeking public office in Washington State.</p><p>George Pernick, Senior PAC Compliance Manager for PAC Outsourcing LLC, stated in his response that “IUPAT PAT PC is the IUPAT’s federally-registered PAC” and prior to calendar year 2020, “the Union made contributions to candidates and groups in Washington from IUPAT PAT PC” through that PAC and filed C-5 reports as required to disclose contribution activity in Washington state. He stated that “beginning in 2020, the Union stopped using IUPAT PAT PC in Washington” and since that time the union has made its contributions to candidates and political committees in Washington State from IUPAT Political Action Together Legislative Education Committee (IUPAT PAT-LEC).</p><p>Mr. Pernick stated that IUPAT PAT-LEC is “a self-funded Separate Segregated Fund (SSF) within the meaning of 26 U.S.C. § 527(f)(3)” and is “financed exclusively” using union general treasury funds. He stated that IUPAT PAT-LEC does not solicit or receive contributions from individual members that are used for political purposes and added that IUPAT PAT-LEC uses SSF’s to make contributions to candidates in states which the statutes and regulations allow unions to use general treasury funds to make contributions to candidates and political committees. </p><p>Mr. Pernick stated that IUPAT PAT-LEC only registers as a political committee in states where they are required to do so under state law to make contributions to those state candidates and political committees. He stated that entering calendar year 2020, the union made the changes to the way they made contributions to candidates and political committees, including in Washington State. He stated that prior to calendar year 2020, the IUPAT PAC would make contributions to Washington State candidates and political committee which would be disclosed on the C-5 report. </p><p>Mr. Pernick stated that IUPAT PAT-LEC filed C-7 reports for calendar years 2020 and 2023, disclosing the contributions made to Legislative and Executive candidates and related political committees. He added that IUPAT PAT-LEC did not file C-7 reports for contributions made during calendar years 2021, and 2022, which included the $1,000 contribution made to Trevor Smith for State Representative in the 40th Legislative District in 2022, that was included with your complaint, since they did not make a total of $20,000 in contributions to trigger the C-7 threshold.</p><p>RCW 42.17A.630 is the statute governing the C-7 filing requirement and states that any business, union, association, organization or other entity, except for an employer of a registered lobbyist who files an annual L-3 report or a registered political committee that files campaign disclosure reports, shall file a C-7 report for the preceding calendar year monetary or in-kind contributions made to: (1) support or oppose a legislative or statewide executive office candidate; (2) political committees that support or oppose a legislative or statewide executive office candidate; and (3) to committees formed to support or oppose a statewide ballot measure.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the two C-7 reports filed by IUPAT PAT-LEC for calendar years 2020 and 2023 disclosing the Washington State contributions made to candidates and political committees that were above the C-7 reporting threshold. The C-7 report was required to have been filed by IUPAT PAT-LEC, not later than March 1, 2021 for calendar year 2020, and the last day February in 2024 for calendar year 2023. IUPAT PAT-LEC filed the following C-7 reports: (1) On March 2, 2021, IUPAT PAT-LEC filed a C-7 report for calendar year 2020 disclosing $23,000 in monetary contributions made to a number of 2020 Washington State Executive and Legislative candidates that were itemized on the report; and (2) On February 29, 2024, IUPAT PAT-LEC filed a C-7 report for calendar year 2023 disclosing $154,400 in monetary contributions made to a number of 2024 Washington State Executive and Legislative candidates, to all four caucus political committees, to all four caucus-related political committees, and a political committee, that were itemized on the report.<br> <br>Mr. Pernick reiterated that all “contributions the Union has made to Washington candidates and committees since the beginning of 2020, “have been from IUPAT PAT-LEC, the union’s self-funded Separate Segregated Fund.”</p><p>Based on these findings, PDC staff found no evidence of violations that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing any further enforcement action in this instance. IUPAT PAT-LEC, the union’s self-funded Separate Segregated Fund, filed the required C-7 reports for calendar years 2020, and 2023, disclosing monetary contributions made to Washington candidates and committees. In addition, IUPAT PAT-LEC acknowledged that in calendar years 2021and 2022 the contributions made to candidates and political committees were below the C-7 reporting threshold. Thus, no C-7 report was required to have been filed for those years.</p><p>Since the funds used by IUPAT PAT-LEC did not come from an out-of-state political committee, no C-5 reports were required to have been filed. The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1556260.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "155626 IUPAT Complaint return.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7070/155626%20IUPAT%20Complaint%20return.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}, {"file_name" : "155626 Intl Union Of Painters _ Allied Trades Political Action Together PAC Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7070/155626%20Intl%20Union%20Of%20Painters%20_%20Allied%20Trades%20Political%20Action%20Together%20PAC%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "155626 Intl Union Of Painters _ Allied Trades Political Action Together PAC Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "IUPAT PAT LEC Response to Complaint with exhibits.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7070/IUPAT%20PAT%20LEC%20Response%20to%20Complaint%20with%20exhibits.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]02/13/2025 07:24:37 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the three complaints
filed by Glen Morgan and Conner Edwards, dated August 28, 2023, August 2, 2024

Prosperous America PAC (the “Respondent”) violated </span><span>RCW
42.17A.235 and .240 (since recodified as </span><span>RCW
29B.25.090 and .100</span><span>) by failing to timely and accurately file
C-3 and C-4 reports disclosing contributions and expenditures for election year
2020. While investigating this case, PDC staff also reviewed the committee’s reports
for years 2021-2026. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Noncompliance concerning late or inaccurate reporting for
the latter half of 2021 through 2024 appears to be the result of the following
mitigating factors: 1) good-faith errors or omissions; 2) the newness of the
PAC; 3) an inexperienced Treasurer; and 4) the committee’s uncertainty
concerning the reporting requirements for an out-of-state PAC with minimal activity
in Washington state that did not participate in Washington state elections.
While some of the dollar amounts that were disclosed are large, the impact of
non-compliance on the public was minimal because nearly all the expenditures
reported were contributions made to out-of-state committees or for operating
expenses.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Several late original and amended reports for 2020 - 2024
that were filed by the committee in 2023 and 2024 were part of their ongoing

The Committee’s due dates for the C-3 and C-4 reports are determined by its activity and participation in the election cycle.</p><p> Background & Findings </p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>The Committee filed a Committee Registration (C-1pc) on January 1, 2012, under the Full Reporting option, as a continuing committee.</li><li>In 2020 and 2021 the Committee did not show a consistent record of timely reporting. However, in 2022, the Committee came into substantial compliance with its C-3 and C-4 reporting requirements for 2020 and 2021. </li><li>The first C-4 report filed by the Committee in 2022 did not show the correct carry-forward balance from the 2021 calendar year, which caused errors throughout the 2022 reporting and resulted in a negative Cash on Hand balance on the last C-4 report filed in 2022. On December 5, 2024, the Committee fixed the errors in the 2022 reporting by amending multiple C-4 reports. Similarly, for 2023 and 2024, C-4 reports were amended to reflect correct carry-forward balances. </li><li>In 2022, the Committee filed its January C-4 report two months late, and its February C-4 report was five days late. </li><li>On April 11, 2023, the Committee filed a combined January – April C-4 report showing a level of contribution activity requiring separate months’ filings. This reporting method effectively made the January and February reports untimely. Additionally, the Committee filed its report for the period of April 18 – 30, 2023 one month late and filed its report for the period of July 12 – 24, 2023 one month late. </li><li>In 2024, the Committee filed its C-4 reports for January, June, and August one month late.</li><li>In 2021, 2022, and 2024 the Committee participated in the elections, by contributing to campaigns, but failed to comply with the C-4 reporting schedule requiring filing 21 days and 7 days before an election. The Committee also failed to comply with the C-4 post-election reporting period. The Committee also did not convert from monthly reporting to the required weekly C-3 reporting when there was applicable contribution activity.</li><li>Late reporting and incorrect information submitted across years deprived the public of accurate information prior to elections in which the Committee participated.</li><li>The Respondent does not have previous warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Summary and Resolution</p><p>WOPAC worked timely and effectively with PDC staff to address reporting issues. In their response to the complaint, the WOPAC Chair said the organization “is a small PAC affiliated with Optometry’s professional organization in Washington State, (Optometric Physicians of Washington). It is run mostly by volunteers who are optometrists (with full time jobs). Check writing, distribution, and reporting are done by different individuals. We make every attempt to communicate efficiently and be timely with our reporting. We will do better in the future.”</p><p>WOPAC completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) and paid a $300 civil penalty in accordance with <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-37-143">WAC 390-37-143</a> (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and RCW 42.17A.240 for failing to timely and accurately file Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports and Receipts & Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports in the years 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024.

The ads were named, “Pinocchio,” “Supposed to Help,” and “Need All Four.” The “Pinocchio” ad also aired on Fox 13 as a TV ad during the Seahawks - 49ers Game on October 11, 2024. The sponsor identification read,</li></ul><p>“PAID FOR BY LET’S GO WASHINGTON SPONSORED BY BRIAN HEYWOOD. TOP FIVE CONTRIBUTORS: BRIAN HEYWOOD, BIAW MEMBER SERVICES CORPORATION, STEVE GORDON, LAWRENCE HUGHES, KEMPER HOLDINGS LLC.”</p><ul><li>The complaint alleged that the Top 5 Contributors should have included Main Street Matters to Washington, a political committee that contributed $1,400,000 during the 12 months before the ads were presented to the public, instead of Brian Heywood who the complaint alleged was not a Top 5 Contributor. The complaint further alleged that because Mainstreet Matters to Washington was a political committee, its Top 3 non-political committee contributors also needed to be identified in the political ads but were not identified.</li><li>However, during the 12 months before the political ads at issue were presented to the public, Brian Heywood made monetary contributions that were loans to Let’s Go Washington totaling $1,456,000, making Mr. Heywood one of the Top 5 Contributors.</li><li>In addition, the Respondent stated that the contributions to LGW from Mainstreet Matters to Washington were restricted by the contributor from being used for any political advertising supporting any ballot measure other than advertising exclusively supporting I-2066, concerning the use of natural gas. Thus, its contributions could not be used for the ads cited in the complaint.</li><li>Because none of the Top 5 Contributors for the advertisements cited in the complaint were political committees, the requirement to list the Top 3 non-political committee contributors to a Top 5 Contributor is not relevant.</li></ul>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1605300.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "160530 Response to Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7379/160530%20Response%20to%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "160530 Case Closure Letter Respondent-Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7379/160530%20Case%20Closure%20Letter%20Respondent-Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "160530 Let's Go Washington Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7379/160530%20Let%27s%20Go%20Washington%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "160530 Let's Go Washington Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]02/26/2025 10:36:56 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The complaint alleged that Maggie Yates, a candidate for Spokane County Commissioner in 2022, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file <i>Cash Receipts Monetary Contributions</i> reports (C-3 reports) and <i>Campaign Summary Receipts & Expenditures</i> reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the campaign.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and evidence you submitted; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Maggie Yates (the “Respondent”); the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the late reporting of the 2022 Yates Campaign was due to an oversight and not done to purposely conceal campaign activities from the public. Additionally, PDC staff encourages self-reporting even at the risk of a complaint, as was done in this case (with a complaint being filed the same day as the reports were submitted).</p><p>After consideration of all the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purposes of the Fair Campaign Practices Act. Under WAC 390-37-070, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the Commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted. </p><p>Maggie Yates completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) and paid a $150 civil penalty in accordance with <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-37-143">WAC 390-37-143</a> (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and RCW 42.17A.240 for failing to timely and accurately file the Post General Election C-4 report during the 2022 election. </p><p>In addition, pursuant to <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-37-060">WAC 390-37-060(1)(d)</a>, Maggie Yates will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely disclosure of all contributions received. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Maggie Yates timely files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures.

Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) completed its review of the complaints filed
by Conner Edwards and Glen Morgan on September 13, 2024, October 15, 2024,
October 16, 2024, and April 16, 2025. The complaints alleged that Kent
Firefighters IAFF Local 1747 PAC (the “Respondent”) violated RCW 42.17A.235 and
.240 by failing timely and accurate disclose contributions and expenditures in
election years 2023-2025.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Specifically,
these four complaints collectively alleged the Respondent failed to do the
following:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><ul><li><span>Report
legal fees incurred with a law firm in 2023 in response to PDC Case 139251;</span></li><li><span>Timely
file C-3 reports based on weekly reporting schedule in 2024, including a C-3
report dated 8/1/24;</span></li><li><span>Accurately
list complete contributor names and addresses on a C-3 reports in 2024,
including a C-3 report dated 8/1/24;</span></li><li><span>Timely

describe a reimbursed expenditure, dated 3/3/25, on a March 2025 C-4 report to
include vendor name and address.</span></li></ul></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">An
allegation made in the first complaint regarding late pre- and post-Primary
Election C-4 reports for 2024 was dismissed because the committee’s 2024
Primary Election C-4 reporting was previously addressed in PDC Case 159748. However,
these findings nonetheless address weekly C-3 reports and pre- and post-General
C-4 reports for 2024.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Based on the </span><span><b>attached</b></span><span> findings and</span> pursuant to <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-37-060">WAC
390-37-060(1)(d)</a>, the Respondent received a formal written warning concerning their failure to timely and
accurately disclose all contributions and expenditures in 2024 and 2025. PDC staff
expect the committee to timely and accurately file all required reports of contributions
and expenditures in the future, especially during the time-sensitive period
before an election in which the committee participates. The Commission will
consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action
if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>PDC staff also reminded the Respondent about the importance of disclosing
vendor name and address for a reimbursed expenditure on the C-4 report. PDC
staff expect the committee to disclose all required vendor details for expenditures in
the future, in accordance with the PDC laws, rules or guidance.</span></p>

The expenditure was reported on C-4 #110214254 for the period March 1, 2024, to March 31, 2024, submitted on May 10, 2024, 2 months late. <br>• Jacqueline Maycumber, a candidate for Congress in the 2024 election, reported the contribution as received by the Maycumber for Congress committee, reporting to the Federal Elections Commission on April 15, 2024.<br>• In their response, Joel Kretz said the “Committee to Elect Joel Kretz received guidance in March that I could make a donation to a congressional campaign, from my Surplus Account. After reviewing the RCWs, I realize that guidance was incorrect and have informed the congressional campaign.” PDC staff followed up on this statement and discovered the “guidance” came from the Maycumber campaign.<br>• The Respondent does not have previous warnings or violations of similar PDC requirements that are within the five year statute of limitations.</p><p>Summary and Resolution</p><p>Once notified of the complaint, the Respondent contacted the Maycumber campaign and worked through the process to receive a refund for the contribution. The Maycumber Campaign returned the $1000 to the Respondent and the funds were deposited into the Committee to Elect Joel Kretz – Surplus Funds Account on September 11, 2024, reported in the Cash Receipts Monetary Contributions (C-3) report #110244851.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Joel Kretz will receive a formal written warning concerning their late reporting of an expenditure and the improper disposal of surplus funds to support another candidate. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Joel Kretz follows RCW 42.17A.430 regarding the use of surplus funds and timely file reports of expenditures per RCW 42.17A.235. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1559370.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "155937 Joel Kretz Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7079/155937%20Joel%20Kretz%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "155937 Joel Kretz Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "155937 Kretz_Joel Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7079/155937%20Kretz_Joel%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "155937 Kretz_Joel Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7079/155937%20Kretz_Joel%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]06/18/2025 10:28:11 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaint alleged a violation of RCW 42.17A.555 for use of public facilities for the purpose of supporting or opposing a candidate or ballot measure.</p><p>Applicable Laws & Rules<br>• RCW 42.17A.555 prohibits elected or appointed officials, their employees, and employees of a public office or agency from using, or authorizing the use of, public office/agency facilities (resources), directly or indirectly, for the purpose of assisting an election campaign or for the promotion of, or opposition to, any ballot proposition.</p><p>However, the following activities do not violate .555:<br><ul><li>Action taken at a public meeting to express a collective decision, or to vote upon a motion, proposal, resolution, order or ordinance, or to support or oppose to a ballot proposition so long as 1) any required notice of the meeting includes the title and number of the ballot proposition; and 2) members of the council or the public are afforded an equal opportunity to express an opposing view.</li><li>A statement made by an elected official in support of, or in opposition to, a ballot proposition at an open press conference or in response to a specific inquiry.</li><li>WAC 390-05-271(1) states that RCW 42.17A.555 does not restrict the right of any individual to express their own personal views concerning supporting or opposing any candidate or ballot proposition if such expression does not involve a use of public office or agency facilities.</li><li>PDC Interpretation No. 04-02 are guidelines set forth by the PDC to aid local governmental agencies in complying with RCW 42.17A.555.</li></ul></p><p>Background & Findings</p><p><ul><li>The Wenatchee School District (the District) is in Chelan County, Washington. The District serves 7,600 students and includes one early learning center and preschool, seven elementary schools, three middle schools, one k-8ᵗʰ grade alternative school, two high schools, and a technical skills center.</li><li>On July 1, 2023, Dr. Kory Kalahar became the interim Superintendent of the District. Diana Haglund is the Director of Communications for the District. Dr. Kalahar is Ms. Haglund’s supervisor.</li><li>The District regularly communicates in a variety of ways with the public about official business affecting students, parents, and the community it serves.</li><li>During election year 2023, the District’s school board had five positions on the ballot for election. Two positions ran unopposed, and the remaining three were competitive. The general election occurred on November 7, 2023.</li><li>November 2, 2023, six-thousand copies of a political mailer, known as The Wenatchee Record (aka The Record), were distributed to families within the District. Glenn Dobbs of the Wenatchee Values Alliance developed and financed the political mailer.</li><li>Between November 3, 2023, and November 7, 2023, at the direction of Dr. Kalahar, Ms. Haglund responded to the political mailer as follows: (1) an electronic response that went to district leaders and included a prepared “public response” for use by leadership, (2) English and Spanish language messages to district parents via the Bloomz 2-way electronic messaging platform, (3) one post to the District’s website, (4) a post to the District’s Facebook account, and (5) one post to the District’s ‘X’ account. Dr. Kalahar also personally sent an all-staff email to district-wide constituencies. These communications characterized The Record as a “political mailer,” drew attention to the “election only days away,” stated the mailer “contained misleading information” and “false narratives,” said the purpose of the mailer was “for political gain,” and implicated candidates running for school board as authors of articles in the mailer.</li><li>On November 5, 2023, under the supervision of Dr. Kalahar, Ms. Haglund used her District email to correspond with Gabriel Garcia, a reporter for the Wenatchee World, asking for “limited media exposure on any issues that could be considered controversial and further any false narratives.” She also asked the Wenatchee World to run an “Opinion Editorial by Superintendent Kalahar in the coming days.”</li><li>On November 6, 2023, the Wenatchee World ran an Opinion Editorial written by Dr. Kalahar that included his title, referred to the political mailer, and indicated Dr. Kalahar spoke for the District in the editorial. Ms. Haglund, under Dr. Kalahar’s supervision, promoted the article by posting on the District’s Facebook account.</li><li>The complaint alleges a violation of RCW 42.17A.555 occurring when on November 7, 2023, Dr. Kalahar emailed members of the Wenatchee School Board. In this instance, and in the next communications that followed, there is no evidence of a violation.</li><li>The complaint alleges a violation of RCW 42.17A.555 occurring when on November 6, 2023, Dr. Kalahar responded to an email from a student in the Wenatchee School District. The email from the student, dated November 5, 2023, was about their concerns related to candidates running for election to the Wenatchee School Board and the materials in The Record. The student was specifically reaching out to Dr. Kalahar to learn how she, as a student leader, could get more involved. Dr. Kalahar’s response outlined several ways the student could get more involved in expressing their views and their leadership. In this instance there is no evidence of a violation.</li><li>The Respondents do not have previous warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul></p><p>Summary and Resolution</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Diana Haglund is receiving a formal written warning concerning their involvement in the use of public facilities to proliferate communications during an election. RCW 42.17A.555 does not prevent a public agency, nor its employees, from making an objective and fair presentation of the facts if such activity is part of the normal and regular conduct of the agency.<br>However, in no case will the PDC view a promotional campaign or marketing effort related to an election as normal and regular conduct. There is evidence that the tone and tenor of the language, as well as the quantity and frequency of the communications, right before an election, were promotional and a marketing effort. With this formal written warning, staff expects Ms. Haglund to in the future comply with all requirements of RCW 42.17A.555 and PDC guidance outlined in Guidelines for School Districts in Election Campaigns and in a 2015 staff analysis. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Dr. Kory Kalahar has completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) and paid a $600 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging a violation of RCW 42.17A.555 by using public facilities for the purpose of supporting or opposing a candidate or <br>ballot. The $600 penalty assessed resolves the allegations listed in this case.<br>Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).<br></p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/156953600.000.000.00600.000.00false[{"file_name" : "156953 Wenatchee School District 246 Officials Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7206/156953%20Wenatchee%20School%20District%20246%20Officials%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "156953 Wenatchee School District 246 Officials Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "156953 Wenatchee School District Officials Dismissal Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7206/156953%20Wenatchee%20School%20District%20Officials%20Dismissal%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "SOU - 156953 - Wenatchee School District 246 Officials (02.12.2025).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7206/SOU%20-%20156953%20-%20Wenatchee%20School%20District%20246%20Officials%20%2802.12.2025%29.pdf", "description" : "SOU - 156953 - Wenatchee School District 246 Officials (02.12.2025)", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "156953 Wenatchee School District 246 Officials Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7206/156953%20Wenatchee%20School%20District%20246%20Officials%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "156953 Wenatchee School District 246 Officials Initial Hearing Results Letters (SD246).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7206/156953%20Wenatchee%20School%20District%20246%20Officials%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20Letters%20%28SD246%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}][{"who" : "Wenatchee School District 246 Officials", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2025-02-13", "amount" : 600.00, "description" : "Statement of Understanding", "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2025-02-12", "amount" : 600.00, "description" : "PAID - SOU"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]02/17/2026 02:16:31 PMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

The complaint alleged that Jennifer Mayberry, a Candidate for County Commissioner, may have violated RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to include proper sponsor identification on political advertising.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and evidence you submitted; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by Jennifer Mayberry (the “Respondent”); the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Applicable Laws & Rules</p><ul><li>RCW 42.17A.320 (1) All written political advertising, whether relating to candidates or ballot propositions, shall include the sponsor's name and address.</li><li>WAC 390-18-030 (3) Online political advertising must provide the same disclosures that apply to non-online advertising to the extent practical. As an alternative, small online advertising may provide the required disclosures by using an automatic display with the advertising that takes the reader directly to the required disclosures.</li></ul><p>Background & Findings </p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>Jennifer Mayberry filed a Candidate Registration under the Full Reporting option for the 2024 election.</li><li>Political text messages were sent that gave the Respondent’s website address, but the website lacked the mailing address of the campaign. </li><li>At the time of the complaint the website was down, and the campaign indicated that the website had been hacked, but it would be back up by the time further texts were sent out. </li><li>The website still lacked complete sponsor identification once the website was operational. The campaign’s address was not included nor was the candidate’s party preference.</li><li>Jennifer Mayberry does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Summary and Resolution</p><p>Based on our findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, failing to provide complete sponsor identification on the campaign website does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-37-060">WAC 390-37-060(1)(d)</a>, however, Jennifer Mayberry will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to provide complete sponsor indentation for political advertising.

(EY24 JUL24)RCW 29B.45.010/42.17A.555Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsPublic Employee - Local<p>PDC staff reviewed the allegation(s) and evidence provided and found the following: </p><ul><li>Nathan Craig is the Chief of Yakima County Fire District #12, West Valley Fire-Rescue.</li><li>On the August 6, 2024, ballot, the Respondent proposed to the voters a ballot measure to lift the cap to the existing property tax levy rate.</li><li>Chief Craig was notified of your complaint on July 31, 2024, and the Respondent provided a response to the allegations on August 1, 2024. The following issues were identified and addressed:<ul><li>The Respondent has a Facebook page and between July 1, 2024, through August 1, 2024, there were approximately thirty-five posts made by the Respondent about department and community related issues. In this period, of those thirty-five posts, eleven posts were specific to the ballot measure. There were one or two posts that included a general reminder to vote. While the district has historically reminded the public to vote three to four times a year via the district newsletter, posting this sort of reminder is new to their social media. PDC staff reviewed the Facebook posts and find the social media posts to be normal and regular conduct of the Respondent. There does not appear to be messaging that either supports or opposes the ballot proposition. </li></ul></li><li>At the Kiwanis Club of West Valley-Yakima, on July 8, 2024, Chief Craig attended the meeting in their capacity as Fire Chief and provided an informational presentation about the levy. Per PDC Interpretation No. 04-02, it is the right, and responsibility, of local government to inform the public of the operational and maintenance issues facing local agencies. This includes informing the community of the needs of the agency. Local governments may expend funds for this purpose provided that the preparation and distribution of information is not for the purpose of influencing the outcome of an election. PDC staff reviewed the PowerPoint presentation used by Chief Craig and do not find the materials looked to influence the outcome of an election.</li><li>The Respondent was made aware on August 1, 2024, by the district’s legal counsel, that a statement on the district’s website may be interpreted as support for the ballot measure and the language was changed at once to be more neutral in tone. The PDC has reviewed the language and appreciates the district’s approach of caution as it relates to language used in these matters.</li></ul><blockquote><p>The language as it original was presented on the website:</p><p>On August 6, 2024, ballot, Yakima County Fire District 12 (West Valley Fire-Rescue) will be requesting to lift the cap on the existing property tax levy rate.</p><p>The language as amended:</p><p>On the August 6, 2024, ballot, Yakima County Fire District 12 (West Valley Fire-Rescue) is proposing to lift the cap on the existing property tax levy rate.</p></blockquote><ul><li>Nathan Craig, in his role as a private citizen, keeps a personal Facebook page. Mr. Craig provided a sworn statement indicating that the posts on the “Yakima Scan” Facebook page were his personal comments, made on his own time, and without using any district resources. Per PDC Interpretation No. 04-02, public employees do not forfeit their rights to engage in political activity because of their employment. Public employes should make it clear that any participation is personal rather than officially sponsored. PDC staff reviewed Mr. Craig’s personal Facebook page and found the following statement posted at the top of Mr. Craig’s page, “The postings on this site are my own and don’t necessarily represent YCFD12’s positions or opinions.”</li></ul><p>Based on our findings, the evidence in this instance does not support a violation of RCW 42.17A.555.</p><p>The PDC finds that no further action is necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1) and WAC 390-37-060(1)(a).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1573040.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "157304 Yakima County Fire District 12 Officials Supplemental Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7212/157304%20Yakima%20County%20Fire%20District%2012%20Officials%20Supplemental%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "157304 Yakima County Fire District 12 Officials Supplemental Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "157304 Yakima County Fire District 12 Officials Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7212/157304%20Yakima%20County%20Fire%20District%2012%20Officials%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "157304 Yakima County Fire District 12 Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7212/157304%20Yakima%20County%20Fire%20District%2012%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "157304 Yakima County Fire District 12 Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7212/157304%20Yakima%20County%20Fire%20District%2012%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}]09/27/2024 08:55:47 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

On or about December 1, 2022, a group of six registered voters, consisting of William Campbell, Marianne and Michael Gustavson, Martha Mioni, Gerald Chaney, and Ron Rice, submitted a written request for a recount of the November 8, 2022, election for Kitsap County Sheriff. </p><p>2. These voters were supporters of Rick Kuss and the Respondent had personally contributed $552 to the Kuss campaign. After the election, the Respondent spoke to Rick Kuss about the recount and understood he was supportive of the effort. </p><p>3. The Respondent submitted a $31,060.50 cash deposit to the Kitsap County Auditor on December 1, 2022, that included $31,010.50 of his own funds with Martha Mioni donating the remaining $50.00. The Respondent was later reimbursed $1,000 by Marianne and Michael Gustavson. </p><p>4. The results of the manual recount found five additional votes should be counted for Rick Kuss and one additional vote for his opponent, John Gese. </p><p>5. On December 5, 2022, Respondent contacted the PDC and stated “I am not part of a political party or campaign, however I am biased in favor of Mr. Kuss. The other five voters share my bias.” The Respondent further commented that he and the other members “pooled the money” for the recount effort. PDC Staff provided guidance that the group qualified as a political committee and needed to register and file the appropriate reports. Respondent disagreed with this assessment. </p><p>6. On December 26, 2022, PDC Staff received a complaint alleging that the group chaired by the Respondent had acted as a political committee and had failed to file the Committee Registration Statement (C-1pc), the Monetary Contributions Reports (C-3 reports), and the Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure Reports (C-4 reports). As of the date of the enforcement hearing those reports had not been filed. </p><p>7. In his January 20, 2023, response to further PDC Staff inquiries, the Respondent stated he was introduced to the recount effort via a social media post with a link to a GiveSendGo online fundraiser. That campaign was created by “Friends of Rick Kuss,” which is not a committee registered with the PDC. </p><p>8. On March 22, 2023, the PDC held an Initial Hearing (Case Status Review Hearing), after opening a formal investigation for PDC Case 115649 concerning the Respondent. </p><p>9. The Respondent was interviewed on June 26, 2023, and in response to a subpoena, was interviewed under oath on February 24, 2024. At this interview he stated Sheriff’s candidate Rick Kuss had been supportive of his efforts. </p><p>10. During testimony at the hearing, the Respondent confirmed his earlier statements to PDC Staff that his purpose for the recount was only to check the accuracy of the County’s machine count of the votes and was not to support or oppose any candidate. </p><p><strong>CONCLUSIONS OF LAW </strong></p><p>1. The Commission has jurisdiction over this proceeding pursuant to Chapter 42.17A. RCW, the State campaign finance and disclosure law; Chapter 34.05 RCW, the Administrative Procedure Act; and Title 390 WAC. </p><p>2. RCW 42,17A.005(41) defines "Political committee" as any person (except a candidate or an individual dealing with the candidate's or individual's own funds or property) having the expectation of receiving contributions or making expenditures in support of, or opposition to, any candidate or any ballot proposition. Here, the group used its pooled funds to request a recount in support of a candidate. The group was exclusively comprised of supporters of the losing candidate for Sheriff, their effort began as a result of a fundraising effort supporting the candidate, and they had that candidate’s verbal support for the effort. Under these facts the group chaired by the Respondent was a political committee. </p><p>3. RCW 42.17A.005(20) defines the election cycle as extending to December 31st of the year of the general election. The funds to pay for the recount were deposited with the County Treasurer on December 1, 2022, within the election cycle. </p><p>4. As a political committee, the group was required by RCW 42.17A.205 to file a Committee Registration Statement (C-1pc) due within two weeks of becoming a political committee; and was required by RCW 42.17A.235 and RCW 42.17A.240 to timely disclose monetary contributions received on Monetary Contributions Reports (C-3 reports) and timely disclose expenditures made on Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure Reports (C-4 reports). The group chaired by the Respondent failed to do so. </p><p><strong>ORDER </strong></p><p>This Order will be the Final Order. After consideration of the mitigating and aggravating factors, arguments of counsel and the Respondent, the exhibits and witness testimony, the Findings of Fact, and the Conclusions of Law, the Commission finds the group chaired by the Respondent is a political committee as defined under RCW 42.17A.005(41) and failed to file a Committee Registration Statement (C-1pc) within two weeks of becoming a political committee. The group further violated RCW 42.17A.235 and RCW 42.17A.240 by failing to timely disclose monetary contributions received on Monetary Contributions Reports (C-3 reports) and timely disclose expenditures made on Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure Reports (C-4 reports). </p><p>The Respondent is ordered to: </p><p>1. a. File the missing Committee Registration Statement (C-1pc); disclose its monetary contributions received on Monetary Contribution Reports (C-3 reports), and disclose its expenditures on a Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure report (C-4 report) within 30 days of the date of this Final Order. </p><p>SO ORDERED this _____ day of November, 2024.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1156490.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "115649 Initial Hearing Results - Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5640/115649%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-%20Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "115649 Campbell William Enforcement Hearing Notice.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5640/115649%20Campbell%20William%20Enforcement%20Hearing%20Notice.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "115649 Friends of Rick Kuss and William Campbell Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5640/115649%20Friends%20of%20Rick%20Kuss%20and%20William%20Campbell%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "115649 Friends of Rick Kuss and William Campbell Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5640/115649%20Friends%20of%20Rick%20Kuss%20and%20William%20Campbell%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "115649 Campbell William Notice of Administrative Charges.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5640/115649%20Campbell%20William%20Notice%20of%20Administrative%20Charges.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "115649 Initial Hearing Results - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5640/115649%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Final_Order-Campbell-115649 - signed.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5640/Final_Order-Campbell-115649%20-%20signed.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Commission order"}, {"file_name" : "115649 Campbell William Report of Investigation & Exhibits.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5640/115649%20Campbell%20William%20Report%20of%20Investigation%20%26%20Exhibits.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]11/20/2024 11:27:28 AMCommission or presiding officer heard case and found violation.

(EY21 JUL24)RCW 29B.25.060/42.17A.220Resolved with Technical CorrectionPolitical Committee - Democratic Other<p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and evidence you submitted; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements the response(s) provided by the Pierce County Young Democrats PAC (the “Respondent”); the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Applicable Laws & Rules</p><ul><li>RCW 42.17A.205(1) requires every political committee to register with the PDC within two weeks of organizing or first having the expectation of receiving contributions or making expenditures, whichever is earlier. And per RCW 42.17A.205(4), any material changes in information previously submitted in a statement of organization shall be reported to the commission within the ten days following the change.</li><li>In 2021, RCW 42.17.220(4) limited unidentified contributions in excess of one percent of the total accumulated anonymous contributions received in the current calendar year, or $300, whichever was more.</li><li>Per RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, under the Full Reporting option, a committee is required to disclose contribution and expenditure information by submitting Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports and Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports to the PDC. The Committee’s due dates for the C-3 and C-4 reports are determined by its activity and participation in the election cycle. <ul><li>RCW 42.17A.235(3)(a) indicates a C-4 report is due each month if the committee has received a contribution or made an expenditure in the preceding calendar month and either the total contributions received, or the total expenditures made since the last such report exceeded $200, if before April 1, 2023, or $750, if after April 1, 2023.”</li><li>RCW 42.17A. 235(5) & .240(2) identify the threshold for required reporting of the identity of contributors and WAC 390-16-308 further directs campaigns on the reporting of the source of a contribution. </li></ul></li><li>WAC 390-16-034 directs campaigns to disclose the name and address of each person who made one or more contributions in the aggregate amount of more than $100, if before April 1, 2023, or $250, if after April 1, 2023, as well as their occupation, and the name and location (city and state) of their employer. </li></ul><p>Background & Findings </p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>The Respondent field a Political Committee Registration (C-1pc) on May 4, 2011, as a continuing committee.</li><li>Prior to your complaint, the Respondent submitted C-4 reports for calendar years 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. The first C-4 in 2019 reported a previous total cash/in-kind balance of $600.62 and in most cases the C-4 reports, between 2019 and 2024, showed zero contribution and expenditure activity. The exception to the zero-activity reporting was for anonymous contributions for $500, deposited on September 10, 2021, reported on C-3 #110217808 and C-4 #110217809, on June 2, 2024. The C-3 was amended on July 31, 2024, after your complaint by C-3 #110234649. The amendment attributed the previously classified anonymous contributions of $500 to the contributor Marilyn Strickland Surplus Funds.</li><li>The Respondent did submit a few reports late and made minor or ministerial errors on C-3 #110217808. Based on the reporting record we see that the Respondent has made a good faith effort to bring reporting into compliance. As well, the Respondent made the necessary technical corrections by filing C-3 #110234649, within 14 days of being notified by PDC staff.</li><li>In addition to the allegation upon which this case was opened, you also alleged the Respondent failed to provide correct, updated information on the C-1pc per RCW 42.17A.205(1) (4).</li><li>PDC staff did find that in prior years the Respondent did not maintain the Statement of Organization as required by RCW 42.17A.205(4). However, the Respondent updated the Political Committee Registration (C-1pc) on June 2, 2024, prior to the filing of your complaint. Based on the reporting record, the Respondent’s response to the complaint, and the evidence you submitted, there is nothing that indicates the Respondent was active or took part in elections between 2019 to the period prior to your complaint. </li><li>The Respondent does not have previous warnings or violations of similar PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Summary and Resolution</p><p>In response to your complaint, the Respondent said:</p><p>“Pierce County Young Democrats (PCYD) was inactive between 2021 to 2024. To the best of our knowledge, the organization did not convene regularly or have elected officers during this time. While a former officer remained listed on PCYD’s bank account throughout this period, the account and all records pertaining to it were effectively inaccessible to any new individual who may have wanted to restart the organization. In January 2024, Joel Anderson (Chair) organized a small group of Pierce County residents to restart PCYD. Our goal in reactivating the organization is to ensure long-term stability and growth, which includes maintaining full PDC compliance as a political action committee. PCYD is committed to transparency – and since the beginning of 2024, our newly elected officers have intentionally tried to find and organize old records for the organization.”</p><p>The Respondent also said that the deposit of the $500 occurred before the current officers were elected. In their response to the complaint, the Respondent showed they acted on July 31, 2024, following the complaint, to identify the contributor(s) by asking that their bank send them a copy of the check(s) deposited on September 10, 2021. The bank provided a copy of a single check, for $500, from the Marilyn Strickland Surplus Fund account.</p><p>After consideration of all the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purposes of this chapter. Under WAC 390-37-070, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the Commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted. The executive director must report at each regular Commission meeting all complaints dismissed.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is necessary and hereby resolves these matters as a technical correction per RCW 42.17A.755(1) & (2) and WAC 390-37-060.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.755">RCW 42.17A.755(1)</a>.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1567310.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "156731 Pierce County Young Democrats PAC Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7108/156731%20Pierce%20County%20Young%20Democrats%20PAC%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "156731 Pierce County Young Democrats Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7108/156731%20Pierce%20County%20Young%20Democrats%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "156731 Pierce County Young Democrats Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "156731 Pierce County Young Democrats Complaint Return (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7108/156731%20Pierce%20County%20Young%20Democrats%20Complaint%20Return%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Technical correction"}]06/12/2025 04:45:09 PMPDC staff resolved case after correction of minor or ministerial error.

622014229309/11/202309/10/202302/13/2025Glen MorganIsland County Democratic Political Action CommitteeIsland Co. Democratic Political Action Committee: Alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 by failing to timely disclose contributions & expenditures during calendar yrs 2018 through present on C-3 & C-4 reports. (Aug '23)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Resolved through Statement of Understanding (SOU)Political Committee - Democratic Bona Fide<p>The complaints int his case alleged that Island County Democratic Political Action Committee, a democratic county party continuing committee, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the committee. The first complaint alleged 1) late reporting for election years 2019-2023; and 2) discrepancies in the dollar amounts disclosed on C-4 reports for the committee’s 2021 ending balance and 2022 beginning balance, and 2022 ending balance and 2023 beginning balance. The second complaint alleged the committee failed to provide sufficient details for an in-kind contribution disclosed on their 21-day pre-General C-4 report for 2024. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and evidence submitted; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the responses provided by Island County Democratic Political Action Committee (the “Respondent”); the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and other relevant information to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. Both mitigating and aggravating factors apply in this case. Based on the <strong>attached </strong>findings, this case was resolved as follows:</p><p>Island County Democratic Political Action Committee completed a <i>Statement of Understanding</i> (SOU) and paid a $150 civil penalty in accordance with <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-37-143">WAC 390-37-143</a> (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule) on December 23, 2024. The SOU acknowledged a violation of RCW 42.17A.235(8) for failing to preserve books-of-account financial records, specifically ORCA (Online Reporting of Campaign Activity) data files, for five calendar years following the year in which the transaction occurred.

The complaint alleged that Let’s Go Washington Sponsored by Brian Heywood (Let’s Go Washington or LGW) may have violated RCW 42.17A.320(6) and RCW 42.17A.350 by failing to include required sponsor identification on political advertising.</p><p><strong>Applicable Laws & Rules</strong></p><p><strong>RCW 42.17A.320(1)</strong></p><p><strong>RCW 42.17A.320(6)</strong></p><p><strong>RCW 42.17A.350</strong></p><p><strong>WAC 390-18-030(3)</strong></p><p><strong>RCW 42.17A.005(15)(a)(i)</strong></p><p><strong>Background & Findings (For full background and findings, see case closure letter)</strong></p><ul><li>Let’s Go Washington Sponsored by Brian Heywood is a political committee that was formed to support several initiatives to the Legislature during 2023, three of which appeared on the 2024 general election ballot, including I-2117, concerning the rollback of gas prices for vehicles. LGW also supported a 2024 initiative to the people concerning the use of natural gas that appeared on the 2024 ballot.</li><li>Let’s Go Washington sponsored multiple ads supporting Initiative 2117, inviting readers to participate in gas price rollback events. The complaint identified several political advertising messages for the gas price rollback events posted on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) that allegedly did not include proper sponsor identification.</li></ul><p><strong>Sponsor Identification for Ads Sponsored by Let’s Go Washington</strong></p><ul><li>LGW stated that all Let’s Go Washington advertising cited in the complaint featured a pathway to sponsor identification information. LGW asserted that its X posts qualified as “small online advertising” as identified in WAC 390-18-030(3). LGW stated that, as a method offered in WAC 390-18-030(3)(b), when a viewer clicks on an X post the viewer is taken to the LGW X homepage, whose format is determined by X with limited editability. However, the top of the page includes a link to a page on LGW’s website where its postings on X are reproduced along with full sponsor identification and other required disclosures. The Respondent stated that the pathway works for all of the posts on X that were part of the complaint.</li><li>Staff noted that filers using X for posting political advertising can put the required sponsor identification information on the bio page of X, thus meeting the one-click requirement in WAC 390-18-030(3).</li></ul><p><strong>Top 5 Contributors and Top 3 Non-Political Committee Contributors to a Top 5 Contributor</strong></p><ul><li>The complaint appears to have also alleged that the Top 5 Contributors should have included Main Street Matters to Washington, a political committee that contributed $1,400,000 during the 12 months before the ads were presented to the public, instead of Brian Heywood who the complaint appears to state was not a Top 5 Contributor. The complaint further appears to have alleged that the sponsor identification for the gas price rollback events failed to include the Top 3 non-political committee contributors to Main Street Matters to Washington.</li><li>However, during the 12 months before the political ads at issue were presented to the public, Brian Heywood made monetary contributions that were loans to Let’s Go Washington totaling $1,456,000, making Mr. Heywood one of the Top 5 Contributors.</li><li>Because none of the Top 5 Contributors for the advertisements cited in the complaint were political committees, the requirement to list the Top 3 non-political committee contributors to a Top 5 Contributor is not relevant. </li></ul><p>Based on this information, the PDC dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), PDC staff issued a formal warning concerning the Respondent’s failure to include proper sponsor identification for online advertising posted on the platform X in accordance with RCW 42.17A.320(1) and WAC 390-18-030(3), because the sponsor identification was not viewable with one click. For future online political advertising, staff expects the Respondent to make sponsor identification viewable with one click, for example, by including the sponsor identification on the bio page of X when posting future political advertising on that platform. The Commission will consider its formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1607760.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "10-28-24 LGW Response to PDC Case No. 160776.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7396/10-28-24%20LGW%20Response%20to%20PDC%20Case%20No.%20160776.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "160776 Let's Go Washington (Sponsored by Brian Heywood) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7396/160776%20%20Let%27s%20Go%20Washington%20%28Sponsored%20by%20Brian%20Heywood%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "160776 Case Closure Letter Respondent-Complainant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7396/160776%20Case%20Closure%20Letter%20Respondent-Complainant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]03/21/2025 12:03:35 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

However, PDC staff reminded Lawrence Patrick Hughes about the importance of clearly stating to the recipient of a campaign contribution to whom the contribution is to be attributed, unless it is obvious. PDC staff expects in the future that Mr. Hughes will identify to whom his contributions are to be attributed, unless it is obvious, in accordance with PDC laws and rules.</p><p>A complaint was filed by Marina Multhaup and Dmitri Iglitzin, on behalf of Washingtonians for Ethical Government alleging, in part, that Lawrence Patrick Hughes may have violated RCW 42.17A.435 by unlawfully contributing money under the name of a deceased person and RCW 42.17A.405(2) by, through that means, making contributions in excess of the contribution limits.</p><p>Applicable Laws & Rules</p><p><strong>RCW 42.17A.235</strong> and <strong>.240</strong> require candidates and political committees to file timely, accurate reports of contributions and expenditures including the name and address of each person who has made one or more contributions during the period.</p><p><strong>RCW 42.17A.435</strong> states, “No contribution shall be made and no expenditure shall be incurred, directly or indirectly, in a fictitious name, anonymously, or by one person through an agent, relative, or other person in such a manner as to conceal the identity of the source of the contribution or in any other manner so as to effect concealment.”</p><p>Relevant facts are as follows:</p><ul><li>Lawrence Patrick Hughes made contributions in his name and in the name of his spouse, after she had passed away, to the 2024 campaigns of Let’s Go Washington, Dave Reichert, and Jaime Herrera-Beutler.</li></ul><p><strong>Lawrence Patrick Hughes, Case 161712</strong></p><ul><li>According to Nathan Alexander, legal counsel for Mr. Hughes, Mr. Hughes and Mary Ellen Hughes (“Mrs. Hughes”), throughout their life together, consistently gave to a variety of charitable causes, including to political candidates and causes, and they frequently supported the same candidates/causes. After Mrs. Hughes’ passing in October 2023, Mr. Hughes continued his philanthropic efforts and political giving.</li><li>Mr. Alexander stated that Mr. Hughes asked Chris Hendley, family assistant, to send out his usual checks for campaign contributions. Mr. and Mrs. Hughes had joined their finances during their marriage and issued checks bearing both of their names. He said Mr. and Mrs. Hughes’ usual practice was to donate their legal maximum together on one check. Though written in one amount on one check, the total was split in half and treated as their separate contributions, consistent with their individual legal contribution limits. Mr. Alexander noted that, due to Mrs. Hughes’ passing, many of Mr. Hughes’ unused checks still bore Mrs. Hughes’ name together with his own. He said when Ms. Hendley sent out Mr. Hughes’ “usual” donations, she sent out checks for $4,800—as she had previously done when Mrs. Hughes was alive. Mr. Alexander said these once-usual checks, unbeknownst to Mr. Hughes and Ms. Hendley, accidentally took Mr. Hughes’ contributions above the allowable level for 2024 for contributions to the Reichert campaign.</li><li>Mr. Alexander stated that Mr. Hughes also issued a single $100,000 check to Let’s Go Washington Sponsored by Brian Heywood, on July 25, 2024, but because of Mr. Hughes’ joint donation history with Mrs. Hughes—and because Mr. Hughes’ checkbook still included her name—Let’s Go Washington Sponsored by Brian Heywood appears to have erroneously recorded that single $100,000 donation from Mr. Hughes as two $50,000 donations, one from Mr. Hughes and one from Mrs. Hughes. </li><li>Mr. Alexander stated that Mr. Hughes has been a frequent campaign donor for more than thirty years, and this is the first time he has been accused of making contributions over legal limits or of concealing a contribution’s source. He said Mr. Hughes had no intention of circumventing campaign finance law and that any overpayment was an honest mistake stemming from a simple misunderstanding between Mr. Hughes and his assistant during a time when Mr. Hughes was adjusting to his newfound life as a widower after 65 years of marriage. Mr. Alexander said everyone involved is confident that this first-time offense will be an only-time offense.</li></ul>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1617120.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "161712 Lawrence Patrick Hughes Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7459/161712%20Lawrence%20Patrick%20Hughes%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "161712 Combined Case Closure Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7459/161712%20Combined%20Case%20Closure%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "161712 L.P.

On July 23, 2024, the PDC granted the request and on this date the Respondent amended their C-1 to the Full Reporting option. </p><p>4. Under the Mini Reporting option, a committee must agree to not raise or spend more than $7,000 (in addition to filing fees). The committee must also commit to receiving no more than $500 from any one contributor (other than the candidate themselves). Changing from the Mini Reporting option to the Full Reporting option requires PDC staff’s approval, and the request must be made and approved before the committee exceeds the Mini Reporting limits. </p><p>5. Prior to making the request for conversion from Mini to Full Reporting, the Respondent exceeded the mini reporting threshold on July 1, 2024, when campaign financial activity reached $7,036.56 (not including filing fees). </p><p>6. On July 10, 2024, the Respondent submitted one C-4, and four C-3 reports for March, one C4 and one C-3 report for April, one C-4 and six C-3 reports for May, and one C-4 and four C4 reports for June. The reports were amended on July 16, 2024. These reports became due on July 1, 2024, when the Mini Reporting threshold was exceeded and are considered nine days late. For July, the Respondent submitted six timely C-3 reports and the C-4 report was submitted on July 16, 2024, but amended on August 12, 2024, reflecting substantial changes to receipts received and in-kind contributions received, and expenditures made. The August C-3 and C-4 reports were timely. </p><p>7. As of October 8, 2024, the Respondent has fulfilled the requirements to convert from Mini to Full Reporting and there do not appear to be missing C-3 and C-4 reports for the period of March through August 2024. </p><p>8. The Respondent has no prior violations. </p><p>CONCLUSIONS OF LAW </p><p>Based on the above facts, as a matter of law, the Presiding Officer concludes as follows: 1. This matter was duly and properly convened, and all jurisdictional, substantive, and procedural requirements have been satisfied. 2. The Respondent violated RCW 42.17A.205 and WAC 390-16-125 by exceeding the Mini Reporting limitation before obtaining approval to change from the Mini Reporting option to the Full Reporting option. 3.

The hearing was held pursuant to Chapter 34.05 RCW, Chapter 42.17A RCW, and Chapter 390-37 WAC.<div><br></div><div>The hearing concerned allegations that the Respondent violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, RCW 42.17A.145,1 and WAC 390-16-037, WAC 390-16-207, and WAC 390-16-043 by (1) failing to timely file Cash Receipts, Monetary Contribution (C-3) reports; (2) in advance of the 2024 primary election, failing to timely file mandatory 21-day, 7-day, and post-primary Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports; (3) in advance of the 2024 general election, failing to timely file mandatory 21-day, 7-day, post-general, and end-of-election C-4 reports; (4) failing to report the full purpose of expenditures; (5) failing to report in-kind contributions; and (6) filing false C-4 reports. Staff also alleges that during election year 2024 the Committee violated RCW 42.17A.405(2) and WAC 390-16-310(4) by accepting over-limit contributions. Staff further alleges that, during election year 2024 the Committee violated RCW 42.17A.320 and WAC 390-18-010 by failing to include sponsor identification on political advertisements.</div><div><br></div><div>The parties jointly submitted a signed Amended Partial Stipulation as to Facts (Stipulation). The Commission voted 3-0 to accept the Stipulation as submitted.</div><div><br></div><div><div>2. The Commission accepts the parties’ agreed partial stipulation as to facts and finds the Respondent has violated RCW 42.17A.235, RCW 42.17A.240, and WAC 390-16-043 by failure to timely and accurately file Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) Reports, and Mandatory Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) Reports.</div><div>3. The Committee violated RCW 42.17A.240(7) and WAC 390-16-037 by failing to report multiple expenditures for media buys and printed materials and by failing to provide the quantity of numerous items purchased by the Committee.</div><div>4. The Committee violated RCW 42.17A.403(2) and WAC 390-16-310(4) by accepting aggregate over-limit contributions from Mr. Jensen as an individual and as a sole proprietor of a business.</div><div>5. The Committee violated RCW 42.17A.240(2), WAC 390-16-207, and WAC 390-05-210(3) by failing to report in-kind contributions that resulted in the filing of false Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports in violation of RCW 43.17A.145. Mr. Jensen’s coordination of these contributions was conducted in his role as a Committee Treasurer and not solely in his private capacity. While the Committee and its members have rights of free speech under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, those rights do not extend to failing to report their actions as part of campaign finance regulation.</div><div>6. The Committee violated RCW 42.17A.320 and WAC 390-18-010 by failing to include sponsor identification and party preference on its website and trucks carrying signs in the community.</div><div>7. Mitigating factors present in this matter are that the candidate and the Committee were new to running a campaign for public office and the Committee worked with staff to correct errors and to file missing C-3 and C-4 reports. Additionally, the over-limit contribution was repaid, although it was after the general election. Aggravating factors are that the cooperation of the Committee lessened as the investigation continued and that the Committee has so far refused to provide a value for the in-kind contributions made to the campaign.</div></div>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1586452100.00700.00700.000.002100.00false[{"file_name" : "158645 Rylee Fleury Amended Administrative Charges.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7263/158645%20Rylee%20Fleury%20Amended%20Administrative%20Charges.pdf", "description" : "158645 Rylee Fleury Amended Administrative Charges", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "158645 Rylee Fleury Final Order.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7263/158645%20Rylee%20Fleury%20Final%20Order.pdf", "description" : "158645 Rylee Fleury Final Order", "document_type" : "Commission order"}, {"file_name" : "158645 Fleury_Rylee -

The campaign start date was January 8, 2024, and the candidate filed a Candidate Declaration with the Secretary of State on May 6, 2024.</li><li>Mr. Cummings first filed their Personal Financial Affairs (F-1) report on March 25, 2024. This report should have been filed within two weeks of becoming a candidate and was therefore two months late. </li><li>You alleged that Mr. Cummings did not disclose personal income and professional affiliations on the F-1. There was no evidence that Mr. Cummings did not disclose personal affiliations. Upon reviewing his own record, Mr. Cummings also discovered he had not previously disclosed student debt and promptly reported that information. Mr. Cummings acted at once following the complaints and filed the required personal income information.</li><li>During the case review, we determined that some of the missing information was caused by difficulties that Mr. Cummings had in filing through our online system. Based on what Mr. Cummings has told us, it is possible that he was using a computer with an outdated operating system or browser and that may have caused some of the late reporting issues. </li><li>Mr. Cummings does not have previous warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Pursuant to <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-37-060">WAC 390-37-060(1)(d)</a>, however, John Cummings will receive a formal written warning concerning RCW 42.17A.710 and his failure to accurately report on the Personal Financial Affairs (F-1) report in election year 2024.

The records must be maintained for five years following the election to which the records pertain. Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.345, the documents and books of account shall specify: 1) the names and addresses of persons who placed political advertising or electioneering communications; 2) the exact nature and extent of the services rendered; and 3) the total cost and the manner of payment for the services. WAC 390-18-050(6) and (7) further clarify what information the commercial advertiser must maintain and WAC 390-18-050(4) outlines how the information may be made available by the commercial advertiser.</p><p> Background & Findings </p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>The Silver Agency is an advertising, marketing, and design firm. Chad and Coralee Taylor are the owners of The Silver Agency. The company accepted and provided political advertising in 2024.</li><li>PDC staff determined the following timeline related to your complaint filed on July 26, 2024:</li></ul><p>7/30 – The complaint was reviewed by PDC staff, and based on what you told us in the complaint about how you attempted to request an inspection, it was suspected that you had not followed the in-person request process that was outlined as part of the resolution for case 149327. You were a party to case 149327 and were aware of the in-person process outlined in the case resolution letter dated May 16, 2024. </p><p>7/31 – Upon outreach by PDC staff, you confirmed that you had only done outreach via email using unconfirmed email addresses for the Respondent.</p><p>8/15 – PDC staff asked that you make an in-person request for the records, per the Respondent’s preferred process.</p><p>8/19 – You emailed Chad Taylor (the Respondent’s representative) requesting an in-person records review.</p><p>8/21 – Mr. Taylor responded back to you that an in-person visit was preferable, and they would appreciate advance notice.</p><p>8/21 - You let Mr. Taylor know that you would make an in-person visit on August 22, 2024.</p><p>8/29 – You informed PDC staff the records for The Silver Agency were not made available to you at the in-person visit conducted on August 22, 2024.</p><p>8/30 – You informed us that you received records via email late on August 29, 2024, and provided those records to the PDC.</p><p>9/3 – PDC staff reviewed the records and determined there were missing elements of required information.</p><p>9/10 – PDC staff let you know that we were opening a case and confirmed with you that the missing data had not previously been provided to you.</p><p>9/10 – The Respondent was notified of the case opening.</p><p>9/11 – PDC staff spoke with a representative of the Respondent and confirmed that they were in communication with you about the requested information.</p><p>9/12 – The Respondent provided the additional records and fulfilled the commercial advertiser books of account inspection request.</p><ul><li>Regarding the August 22, 2024, in-person inspection, Mr. Taylor said: </li></ul><p>When Kyle came in for his scheduled visit to review the records on August 22, 2024, both Coralee and I were unfortunately unavailable. Coralee had an unplanned meeting, and I was out sick that day.

The complaint alleged a violation of RCW 42.17A.345 for failure to timely provide complete commercial advertising books of account upon request.<br>Applicable Laws and Rules<br>RCW 42.17A.345 requires each commercial advertiser who has accepted or provided political advertising or electioneering communications during an election to maintain current books of account and related materials, as provided by rule, and make them available and open for inspection during normal business hours during the election and for a period of no less than five years after the date of the applicable election. These documents and books-of-account shall include the following:<br>1. the names and addresses from people or campaigns the commercial advertiser accepted political advertising or electioneering communications.<br>2. the exact nature and extent of the services rendered; and<br>3. the total cost and the manner of payment for the services.<br>WAC 390-18-050 states that commercial advertiser books of account information must be made available for public inspection by any person in one of the following manners:<br>1. in person during normal business hours;<br>2. electronically, in machine readable format and structured in a way that enables the data to be fully discoverable and usable by an end user;<br>3. by digital transmission, such as email, promptly upon request, but no later than two business days; or<br>4. by online publication on the advertiser’s primary website or on a website created for this purpose that is controlled by the advertiser, if a link is prominently displayed on the advertiser’s primary website directing users to the latter.<br>Commercial advertising books of account must be updated within 24 hours of the distribution or broadcast of an advertisement or communication and any updates or changes to this information.<br>Background and Findings<br>• Vibe is a streaming television advertising platform with features that include digital tools for audience targeting, retargeting, real-time optimization, pixel tracking, and frequency capping, and premium inventory featuring over five hundred channels and dozens of live sports leagues.<br>• PDC staff reviewed the information provided on the Vibe website and requested further follow-up from Vibe staff to understand the available offerings to political campaigns using Vibe services.<br>• PDC staff reviewed political disclosure data reported by campaigns and found that the campaigns for Kelly M Chambers and Lynn Trinh used the services of Vibe for commercial advertising in 2024.<br>• On November 5, 2024, Conner Edwards sent an email to support@vibe.co requesting to view the commercial advertising books of account. In his subsequent complaint to the PDC on November 9, 2024, Mr. Edwards identified multiple companies with the word Vibe in their name which he found in the PDC’s public disclosure data. Multiple Washington state political campaigns had reported expenditures to these various companies. PDC staff followed up with Vibe to determine their commercial advertising status and the campaigns for which they should provide the requested materials. On March 31, 2025, the commercial advertising books of account for the Chambers and Trinh campaigns were provided to Mr. Edwards.<br>• Vibe does not have previous warnings or violations of PDC requirements.<br>Summary and Resolution<br>Based on our findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, any violation that may have occurred was minor and has been cured.

No one may authorize a use of public facilities for the purpose of helping a candidate’s campaign or promoting or opposing a ballot proposition, in the absence of a constitutional, charter, or statutory provision separately authorizing such use. <br>• PDC Interpretation No. 04-02 are guidelines set forth by the PDC to aid compliance with RCW 42.17A.555, and these guidelines state that 1) members of a commission may express a collective decision, or vote upon a motion in support or opposition to a ballot proposition, at an open public meeting, so long as the meeting notice included the title and number of the ballot proposition to be discussed, and members of the commission or members of the public are afforded approximately equal opportunity to express an opposing view.<br>Background & Findings</p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><p>• The Yakima County Fire District 12 Commission is a three-person commission to include Commissioners Kendall Eakin, Paul Barham, and James Borst. The Commission oversees the Yakima Fire Protection District 12, West Valley Fire-Rescue. Nathan Craig is the Chief of the District.</p><p>• The first instance of Commissioners discussing a ballot measure was at the October 10, 2023, commission meeting. The Commissioners discussed the ballot measure fifteen more times at meetings prior to the August 6, 2024, primary election where Proposition 1 was on the ballot. The ballot measure proposed to lift the cap to the existing property tax levy rate.</p><p>• Your complaint is specific to the June 11, 2024, commission meeting where the ballot measure is identified in the agenda under “Unfinished Business” as “lid lift.” The Commission Meeting Minutes confirm the Commission discussed the ballot measure at the June 11, 2024, meeting and a public comment period was on the agenda. PDC staff confirmed there were no public comments. The minutes include these notes:<br>Chief has tweaked the Levy Lid Lift video he showed last meeting. It will be posted on our webpage and on social media. Yakima Heald did an article on the lid lift. Ballots will be out on July 19th; all agree to put up our support signs about 2 weeks before then. It was suggested to post a picture of the ballot on social media for reference.</p><p>• The “support signs” identified in the meeting minutes were confirmed by PDC staff to be in reference to the sign that said “Support West Valley Fire.”</p><p>• The “support signs” were originally created for and donated to the Fire District, around 2004, by Dave Leitch. There are a total of five signs. The signs have been in storage for many years and there is no evidence to support the signs were used by the Fire District until recently. Chief Craig confirmed, for the 2024 election, the signs were placed on non-District property and that they were erected by him while on his own time and without the use of Fire District resources.</p><p>• The other sign, provided as evidence in your complaint, was determined to have been bought by Nathan Craig with personal funds and deployed on his own time and using his own resources. Based on these findings, staff has determined that, in the instance of the sign that reads “Support West Valley Fire Vote YES on Proposition 1,” there is no evidence that supports a finding of a violation. </p><p>• In response to your complaint, Chief Craig, speaking on behalf of the Commission, said, “Given the concerns raised in the Complaint, and to assure the public that the District and its employees and officials are committed to compliance with RCW 42.17A.555 and Public Disclosure Commission guidelines, I plan to include an agenda item for a training session at a District Commission public meeting to review the law and related guidelines.” PDC staff confirmed with the Chief that the training session occurred on September 24, 2024.</p><p>• The Commission members do not have previous warnings or violations of similar PDC requirements.</p><p>Summary and Resolution</p><p>In the instance of the sign that reads “Support West Valley Fire,” although the sign does not identify any specific ballot measure or direct a vote for or against a specific ballot measure, the sign was the property of the Fire District and based on the June 11, 2024, commission meeting minutes we do conclude the Commission directed staff to deploy the signs in support of the ballot measure. Further, we determine the Commission did not adequately provide public notice that the topic of the sign usage would be on the Commission Meeting Agenda for discussion at the June 11, 2024, commission meeting. Because the signs did not explicitly advocate for or against a ballot proposition and because the Fire District has taken proactive steps to obtain training on compliance with RCW 42.17A.555, in this instance, staff has determined that these findings do not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. </p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, members of the Yakima Fire Protection District #12 Commission will receive a formal written warning concerning use of public facilities or resources to support a ballot measure. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that the Yakima Fire Protection District #12 Commission members comply with all laws and rules and to follow PDC guidance for how the statutory prohibition on the use of public facilities or resources impacts campaign activities that may be contemplated by government employees and other persons who may seek to utilize those public facilities. The Public Disclosure Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).<br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1577590.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "157759 Yakima County Fire District #12 Commission Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7232/157759%20Yakima%20County%20Fire%20District%20%2312%20Commission%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "157759 Yakima County Fire District #12 Commission Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "157759 Yakima County Fire District 12 Commission Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7232/157759%20Yakima%20County%20Fire%20District%2012%20Commission%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "157759 Yakima County Fire District 12 Commission Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7232/157759%20Yakima%20County%20Fire%20District%2012%20Commission%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]10/28/2024 08:49:20 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

He timely filed a Candidate Registration (C-1) on May 22, 2024. The Respondent took part in the 2024 Primary election and qualified for the 2024 General election.<br>• The Respondent filed a Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1) covering the twelve-month period preceding his candidacy (May 10, 2023, to May 9, 2024) on May 23, 2024.<br>• You filed a complaint on September 5, 2024, and the PDC notified the Respondent on October 16, 2024, of the alleged violations associated with the Respondent’s F-1. The Respondent amended the F-1 on October 25, 2024, to reflect changes to the Income, Assets and Business Associations sections of the report.<br>• The Respondent does not have previous warnings or violations of similar PDC requirements.<br> </p><p>Summary and Resolution<br>Mitigating factors in this case are as follows:<br>1. The Respondent is a first-time candidate.<br>2. The Respondent quickly took corrective action to remedy his F-1, so the required information was disclosed and available to the voting public prior to the General Election.<br>3. There is no evidence that any person, including an entity or organization, benefited politically or economically from the noncompliance.<br>4. There appear to have been some technical issues experienced by the Respondent when trying to amend the original F-1 which resulted in the original F-1 not being available to be amended for a short-period of time after the complaint was filed.<br> </p><p>Based on our findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely report required information about a spouse’s income, assets, and business associations on the F-1 report covering May 10, 2023, to May 9, 2024, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.<br>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Sam Sim will receive a formal written warning concerning their failure to comply with the filing requirements of RCW 42.17A.710.

The hearing was held in accordance with Chapters 34.05 and 42.17A RCW, and Chapter 390-37 WAC.</p><p>II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW<br> </p><p>1. The Commission has jurisdiction over this proceeding pursuant to Chapter 42.17A. RCW, the State campaign finance and disclosure law; Chapter 34.05 RCW, the Administrative Procedure Act; and Title 390 WAC.<br> </p><p>2. The text message WSRP sent to voters was political advertising, as defined in RCW 42.17A.005(40). It asked voters to “REJECT Han Tran Northshore school board candidate who calls for Israel’s destruction and elimination of Jews! VOTE by 11/7, protect kids.” The message directly opposed a candidate and included a statement encouraging recipients to “VOTE by 11/7.” The political advertisements were sent without including the sponsor’s name and address in violation of RCW 42.17A.320(1).<br> </p><p>3. WSRP did not timely disclose its expenditures on its Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure report (C-4 reports). Under the full reporting option, until five months before the general election, C-4 reports are required monthly when contributions or expenditures exceed $200 since the last report and on the twenty-first day and seventh day immediately preceding the date on which the election is held. On January 26, 2024, WSRP amended its C-4 report from October 17-30, 2023, and disclosed a $159.22 debt owed to Prompt.io for the GOTV text messages. The disclosure was disclosed 87 days late and after the 2023 election.<br> </p><p>4. WSRP made a $100,000 contribution to Let’s Go Washington in December, 2023. The expenditure was made from its exempt funds and was not earmarked for exempt activities. The expenditure generally supported Let’s Go Washington’s initiatives and was not limited as required by RCW 42.17A.405(15) and WAC 390-17-060 to only allowable expenditures. Appropriate uses of exempt funds are listed in RCW 42.17A.405(15)(a-c) and include funds earmarked for voter registration, absentee ballot information, and precinct caucuses, all without promotion of or political advertising for individual candidates. They also include internal organizational expenses and independent or electioneering communications. WSRP’s use of exempt funds for the general use of a ballot measure committee without earmarking for an allowable expense did not meet these criteria and violated RCW 42.17A.405 and WAC 390-17-060.<br> </p><p>5. WSRP submitted a C-3 report disclosing anonymous contributions totaling $106,500 that were deposited on September 17, 2024. RCW 42.17.A.220(4) states: “[A]ccumulated unidentified contributions…in excess of one percent of the total accumulated contributions received in the current calendar year, or three hundred dollars, whichever is more, may not be deposited, used, or expended, but shall be returned to the donor if his or her identity can be ascertained.” The aggregate funds deposited by WSRP were more than one percent of the total accumulated contributions in that calendar year and were not returned to the donors.</p><p>III. ORDER<br> </p><p>This Order will be the Final Order. After consideration of the mitigating and aggravating factors, arguments of counsel, the exhibits and witness testimony, the Findings of Fact, and the Conclusions of Law, the Commission unanimously finds four violations. Respondent failed to 1) include sponsor identification on political advertising in violation of RCW 42.17A.320; 2) failed to timely disclose expenditures on C-4 reports in violation of RCW 42.17A. 235 and .240; 3) did not earmark exempt funds for allowable expenditures in violation of RCW 42.17A.405 and WAC 390-17-060; and 4) did not timely and accurately disclose the source of monetary contributions on C-3 reports and deposited overlimit anonymous contributions in violation of RCW 42.17A.235, RCW 42.17A.240 and RCW 42.17A.220.<br> </p><p>An aggregate civil penalty is imposed of $5,000 for all the violations combined, with $1,000 suspended on the following conditions:<br> </p><p>1. a. The non-suspended portion ($4,000) of the $5,000 total civil penalty for the four violations is paid by the Respondent within 30 days of the date of this Final Order.<br>b. The Respondent transfers the $100,000 improperly expended from the exempt account back to the exempt account within 30 days of the date of this final order.<br>c. The Respondent remains in full compliance with all PDC reporting requirements and is not found to have committed any further violations of Chapter 42.17A RCW or Title 390 WAC within four years of the date of this Final Order. The suspended penalty shall not be assessed based solely upon any remediable violation, minor violation, or error classified by the Commission as appropriate to address by a technical correction.<br> </p><p>2. If the Respondent fails to meet the conditions in Section III(1) of this order within 30 days of the date of this order, the suspended portion of the penalty shall immediately become due and the matter may be sent to collection or brought to Superior Court as allowed by law without further action by the Commission.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1465935000.001000.001000.005000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "146593 Washington State Republican Party Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6356/146593%20Washington%20State%20Republican%20Party%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "Washington State Republican Party Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "146593 Washington State Republican Party ROI & Exhibits.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6356/146593%20Washington%20State%20Republican%20Party%20ROI%20%26%20Exhibits.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "146593 Notice of Administrative Charges.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6356/146593%20Notice%20of%20Administrative%20Charges.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "146593 Washington State Republican Party Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6356/146593%20Washington%20State%20Republican%20Party%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "WSRP-Order On Mot For Reconsideration PDC-146593-Signed.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6356/WSRP-Order%20On%20Mot%20For%20Reconsideration%20PDC-146593-Signed.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Washingotn State Republican Party Complaint (2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6356/Washingotn%20State%20Republican%20Party%20Complaint%20%282%29.pdf", "description" : "Washington State Republican Party Complaint (2)", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "146593 Notice of Administrative Charges (Amended).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6356/146593%20Notice%20of%20Administrative%20Charges%20%28Amended%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "146593 Washington State Republican Party Supplemental Complaint (4).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/6356/146593%20Washington%20State%20Republican%20Party%20Supplemental%20Complaint%20%284%29.pdf", "description" : "146593 Washington State Republican Party Supplemental Complaint (4)", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "146593 Initial Hearing Results -

The complaint alleged that officials of Grays Harbor Fire District 8, may have violated RCW 42.17A.555 by using public facilities or resources to support a ballot proposition in election year 2024.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and evidence you submitted; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Commissioners John Collum, Vivian Matsen and Thomas Greisamer (the “Respondents”); PDC Interpretation 04-02 Guidelines for Local Government; and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that although notice of the July 29, 2024, Grays Harbor Fire District 8 Special Fire Commissioner’s Meeting was timely posted to the district’s website and to the front of the community center, the agenda did not include the “full title and number of the ballot proposition”, nor were all members of the commission “afforded an approximately equal opportunity for the expression of an opposing view”, as one Commissioner was at best given informal, verbal notice of the meeting and did not attend.</p><p>After consideration of all the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purposes of the Fair Campaign Practices Act. Under WAC 390-37-070, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the Commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted. The executive director must report at each regular Commission meeting all complaints dismissed.</p><p>Pursuant to <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-37-060">WAC 390-37-060(1)(d)</a>, however, the officials of Grays Harbor Fire District 8 will receive a formal written warning concerning the use of public facilities or resources to support a ballot measure. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that the Respondent comply with all laws and rule and follow PDC guidance for how the statutory prohibition on the use of public facilities or resources impacts campaign activities that may be contemplated by government employees and other persons who may seek to utilize those public facilities, and specifically adhere to all the components cited in the exception in RCW 42.17A.555(1) in the future. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.755">RCW 42.17A.755(1)</a>.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1613160.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "161316 Grays Harbor Fire District 8 Officials Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7424/161316%20Grays%20Harbor%20Fire%20District%208%20Officials%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "161316 Grays Harbor Fire District 8 Officials Warning - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7424/161316%20Grays%20Harbor%20Fire%20District%208%20Officials%20Warning%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "161316 Grays Harbor Fire District 8 Officials Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7424/161316%20Grays%20Harbor%20Fire%20District%208%20Officials%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]05/13/2026 08:42:19 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

A complaint was filed by Marina Multhaup and Dmitri Iglitzin on behalf of Washingtonians for Ethical Government alleging that, in part, Dave Reichert may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and RCW 42.17A.405(14) by failing to accurately report his contributors and by accepting contributions which exceed the limits for individuals per election.</p><p>Applicable Laws & Rules</p><p><strong>RCW 42.17A.235</strong> and <strong>.240</strong> require candidates and political committees to file timely, accurate reports of contributions and expenditures including the name and address of each person who has made one or more contributions during the period.</p><p><strong>RCW 42.17A.435</strong> states, “No contribution shall be made and no expenditure shall be incurred, directly or indirectly, in a fictitious name, anonymously, or by one person through an agent, relative, or other person in such a manner as to conceal the identity of the source of the contribution or in any other manner so as to effect concealment.”</p><p>Relevant facts include the following:</p><ul><li>Dave Reichert was a 2024 candidate for Governor who appeared on the general election ballot.</li></ul><p><strong>Dave Reichert, Case 160779</strong></p><ul><li>Drew Stokesbary, Legal Counsel for the Reichert campaign, stated that as of November 4, 2024, the Reichert Campaign had raised over $6.5 million from nearly 30,000 unique contributors in nearly 60,000 separate transactions. The Reichert campaign stated that through their finance team, treasurer and legal counsel, they had systems in place to ensure their compliance obligations were met in full.</li><li>Concerning the allegation that the Reichert campaign accepted contributions from Lawrence Patrick Hughes in the name of his wife, Mary Ellen Hughes, after she had passed away, the campaign stated they did not know that Mrs. Hughes was deceased until October 30, 2024, which was after the complaint was filed. </li><li>The Reichert campaign received two contribution checks written on accounts with the names of Lawrence P. Hughes and Mary Ellen Hughes. The campaign stated that the first check, in the amount of $4,800, was received on December 13, 2023, and included the names of Lawrence P. Hughes and Mary Ellen Hughes. The campaign attributed equal parts of the contribution to each of the two individuals named on the check. </li><li>The second check, in the amount of $2,400, was received on May 1, 2024, and also included the names of Lawrence P. Hughes and Mary Ellen Hughes, as well as that of a third individual, Christine D. Hendley. This contribution was originally attributed only to Mary Ellen Hughes.</li><li>The Reichert campaign stated that neither check included nor was accompanied by any notation indicating that Mary Ellen Hughes was deceased or that the contribution was only from Lawrence Hughes. The Reichert campaign stated that upon receiving the complaint they promptly reviewed their records, identified the two checks, and sought written guidance from PDC staff regarding how to correct the campaign’s prior filings.</li><li>The Reichert campaign stated they believed that had they been aware of the passing of Mary Ellen Hughes at the time the contributions were received, they could have allocated the $4,800 contribution, received December 13, 2023, entirely to Mr. Hughes ($2,400 for the primary election and $2,400 for the general election) and the $2,400 contribution received May 1, 2024 to Christine Hendley, whose name appeared on the check as an account owner, and who signed the check.</li><li>The Reichert campaign sought PDC staff guidance, asking if, in the staff’s view, this allocation would have been permissible at the time the contributions were received, and if so, whether the campaign was permitted to amend its C-3 reports to allocate the two checks in the manner described.</li><li>PDC staff stated that, in its view, the contribution allocations described by the Reichert campaign would have been permissible at the time the contributions were received, and said the campaign could amend its C-3 reports to allocate the contributions as described. The Reichert campaign then amended its reports as described, reattributing the contributions originally attributed to Mary Ellen Hughes, as follows: (1) The December 13, 2023 contribution was attributed entirely to Lawrence P. Hughes, with $2,400 designated for the primary election and $2,400 designated for the general election; and (2) the May 1, 2024, contribution was attributed to Christine D. Hendley and designated for the primary election.</li><li>However, PDC staff learned that Mr. Hughes initially intended for both contribution checks, totaling $7,200, to the Dave Reichert campaign, to be from him and that Ms. Hendley’s name was placed on the checks only to fulfill a ministerial role as family assistant, without an ownership interest in the funds in the account.</li><li>PDC staff notified the Reichert campaign that both contribution checks were from Mr. Hughes and the Reichert campaign immediately amended its C-3 report to show Mr. Hughes as the contributor and removed Ms. Hendley as the contributor. Also, on January 31, 2025, the Reichert campaign refunded $2,400 to Mr. Hughes for the over-limit contribution.</li></ul><p>Re: Complaint filed by Marque Jones:</p><p>The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1) and will not be conducting a more formal investigation into these allegations or taking further enforcement action in this matter. However, PDC staff expects the Reichert campaign to continue filing amended reports to reflect the missing employer and occupation information that has been obtained by the campaign.</p><p>A complaint was filed by Marque Jones, alleging, in part, that the 2024 Dave Reichert campaign for Governor (Campaign) may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 and WAC 390-16-034 by:</p><ul><li>Failing to timely and accurately report the names and addresses of contributors giving over $100 in the aggregate during the campaign; and </li><li>Failing to collect the required employer and occupation information for contributors giving over $250 in the aggregate during the campaign;</li></ul><p>In addition, PDC staff reviewed whether the Campaign may have violated RCW 42.17A.405(14) by accepting contributions in excess of the contribution limits set forth in RCW 42.17A.405.</p><p>Relevant Facts are as follows:</p><ul><li>Dave Reichert was a 2024 candidate for Governor who appeared on the general election ballot. </li><li>Drew Stokesbary, Legal Counsel for the Reichert campaign, stated that as of November 4, 2024, the Reichert Campaign had raised over $6.5 million from nearly 30,000 unique contributors in nearly 60,000 separate transactions. The Campaign stated that through its finance team, treasurer and legal counsel, the Campaign had systems in place to ensure its compliance obligations were met in full.</li></ul><p><strong>Timely and Accurate Reporting of Small Contributions</strong></p><ul><li>The complaint alleged “that information provided by the Reichert campaign, compared to the Bob Ferguson campaign, was insufficient.” PDC staff noted to the Respondent that this allegation “appears to be motivated by the fact that, according to the PDC database, on 10/18/2024, the Campaign had accepted $1,348,652.11 in contributions from 33,683 donors.”</li><li>The Campaign stated that its small contribution reporting was accurate throughout the 2024 election cycle, noting that the campaign tracked all small contributors and maintained a separate and private list of the name, address and amount of each contributor in accordance with RCW 41.17A.240(2)(c). The Campaign noted that if a contributor exceeded $100 in aggregate contributions, that contributor’s contributions were itemized on subsequent C-3 reports where the contributor is identified by his or her name and address.</li><li>Even with the large volume of small contributions, PDC staff found no evidence to support the allegation that the Reichert campaign failed to properly account for and report its small contributions.</li></ul><p><strong>Employer and Occupation Information</strong></p><ul><li>The complaint also alleged that the Campaign may have failed to collect the required employer and occupation information and had not reported all employer and occupation information for contributors giving more than $250 in the aggregate during the campaign. </li><li>The Campaign stated that since its launch in June 2023, any written fundraising solicitation has included a form requesting the contributor’s occupation and employer and such employer’s city and state. The Campaign noted that despite this request, many contributors submitting contributions to the campaign did supply this information, as requested, when returning the campaign’s fundraising forms. Contributors giving online were required to submit the required employer and occupation information as part of the donation process.</li><li>The Campaign stated that it established internal policies and procedures to attempt to collect the required employer and occupation information, employing a “best efforts” standard similar to what is required by the Federal Election Commission (FEC). The Campaign stated that it promptly followed up with an email or letter when the required information was not submitted with the contribution and entered “Information Requested” on the C-3 Report. The Campaign said it also sent periodic notices to such contributors, reminding them that the campaign was required to report their employer and occupation.</li><li>The Campaign stated that until mid-2024, they believed their “best efforts” policy was sufficient. In mid-2024, the Campaign learned that the PDC Commissioners had adopted a motion instructing PDC staff to provide written guidance on the agency’s website regarding political committees’ employer and occupation reporting obligations.</li><li>The Campaign stated that thereafter, they revised their internal procedures to significantly increase their efforts to obtain employer and occupation information within ten business days of receiving contributions for which employer and occupation information was required. The Campaign stated it believes it has fully complied with PDC staff’s updated guidance. The Campaign stated it is not aware of any<i> </i>contributions received since August 2024 where required employer and occupation information has not been timely reported.</li><li>The Campaign stated it has also increased its efforts to collect employer and occupation information from previously reported contributions and believes it has collected employer and occupation information for all prior contributors whose aggregate contributions to the Campaign exceed $250.</li><li>The Campaign changed treasurers during the campaign, initially using the PDC’s ORCA filing system, and later using Aristotle campaign reporting software. The campaign has amended C-3 reports originally filed using Aristotle software and is working with PDC staff to amend C-3 reports initially filed using ORCA. The Campaign stated it will continue to file amended C-3 reports to include all missing employer and occupation information it has been able to obtain.</li></ul><p><strong>Over-Limit Contributions</strong></p><ul><li>PDC staff reviewed whether the Campaign had accepted contributions in excess of contribution limits, identifying 16 contributors where it appeared the Campaign may have accepted contributions in excess of the $2,400 per election limit.

The complaint alleged violations of: RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely & accurately disclose contributions and expenditures; and RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to provide complete sponsor identification on political advertising during the 2024 election.<br> </p><p>Applicable Laws & Rules<br>• Per WAC 390-16-105(2), a political committee is not required to comply with provisions of RCW 42.17A.235 through 42.17A.240, except as otherwise prescribed in WAC 390-16-038, 390-16-115, and 390-16-125, if the committee selects the Mini Reporting option on its Candidate Registration (C-1pc) and meets both of the following conditions:<br>o Does not raise nor expend an amount that exceeds $7,000; and<br>o Does not accept contributions from any one person that exceed $500 aggregate.<br>Candidates and committees choosing mini reporting do not file contribution and expenditure reports, but they must file a registration statement, keep records of their contributions and expenditures, and comply with disclosure requirements.</p><p>• Per RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, under the Full Reporting option, a committee is required to disclose contribution and expenditure information by submitting Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports and Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports to the PDC. The Committee’s due dates for the C-3 and C-4 reports are determined by its activity and participation in the election cycle.<br>o RCW 42.17A.235(2) indicates that committees participating in an election are required to file reports “(a) On the twenty-first day and the seventh day immediately preceding the date on which the election is held; and (b) On the tenth day of the first full month after the election.”<br>o WAC 390-16-037 directs campaigns on how to report the details of an expenditure for goods and/or services.</p><p>• RCW 42.17A.320 states, “all written political advertising, whether relating to candidates or ballot propositions, shall include the sponsor’s name and address.” The information required to appear on political advertising shall appear on the first page or fold of the written advertisement or communication in at least ten-point type, or in type at least ten percent of the largest size type used in a written advertisement or communication directed at more than one voter, such as a billboard or poster, whichever is larger; not be subject to the half-tone or screening process; and be set apart from any other printed matter. No text may be before, after, or immediately adjacent to the information required. WAC 390-18-010 further clarifies and explains the requirements for sponsor identification and political advertising.<br>o Sponsor identification is an important piece of political advertising that gives the public information about who sponsored the ad. The sponsor is the person who arranges for the ad or pays for the ad to be displayed or broadcast. A candidate or candidate committee sponsoring an ad about the committee uses the words “paid for by” or “sponsored by” followed by the name of the candidate committee and address.<br> </p><p>Background & Findings<br>• Pursuit PAC originally filed a Political Committee Registration (C-1pc), as a Continuing Committee under the Mini Reporting option, on August 4, 2023. Under WAC 390-16-115(4), failure to file a new registration statement during January will automatically terminate a continuing committee's entitlement to use the mini reporting system until such time as it submits a new C-1pc. The PDC notified the PAC, via the PDC newsletter on December 18, 2023, and a mass email on January 3, 2024, that their filing status would be automatically changed to the Full Reporting option if they did not amend the C-1pc. The Committee filed an amended C-1pc on February 9, 2024, but did not change back to the Mini Reporting option. The C-1pc was not amended to reflect the Mini Reporting option until August 4, 2024. Officers of the Committee listed in the C-1pc are Will Knudsvig, Ministerial Treasurer, and Russell Johnson, President.<br>• The PAC developed a website to assist in Get Out The Vote (GOTV) coordination and to advertise for a political event sponsored by The Pursuit NW church. The PAC also created and published an online voter guide that indicated how to and for whom to vote in the 2024 election.<br>o The website was developed and managed by a volunteer. The volunteer incurred $254 in costs associated with the website and was reimbursed by the PAC in December 2024. The PAC timely reported the expenditure on January 10, 2025, on the Receipts & Expenditure Summary (C-4) report #110267342, amended January 28, 2025, report #110269581. The original in-kind contribution made by the volunteer had not been timely reported by the PAC. At the direction of PDC staff, the in-kind contribution will remain unreported, due to the fact that the PAC refunded it through reimbursement, which was reported.<br>o PDC staff determined the online voter guide was developed by a volunteer and published to the website. Other than the cost of the website that hosted the guide, the PAC made no additional expenditure for the guide.<br>• The Respondent was required to file a 21-day pre-general C-4 report, a 7-day pre-general C-4 report and a post-general C-4 report. No reports were submitted until Dec. 30, 2024.<br>• PDC staff did not find any evidence to show the PAC incurred costs for the Get Out The Vote (GOTV) events and political events sponsored by an affiliated church, The Pursuit NW, other than the costs for the website which advertised them.<br>• Upon review, PDC staff found that neither the website nor the voter guide included sponsor identification. The website was updated on approximately January 8, 2025, to include sponsor ID.<br>• The Respondent does not have previous warnings or violations of PDC requirements.<br> </p><p>Summary and Resolution<br>Based on our findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, any violation that may have occurred was minor and has been cured. After consideration of the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purposes of this chapter. Under WAC 390-37- 060, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted.<br>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Pursuit PAC is receiving a formal written warning concerning failure to timely disclose all contributions and expenditures and failure to include sponsor identification on the PAC’s website. The formal written warning includes staff’s expectation that the PAC will timely file all future required reports of contributions and expenditures, as applicable, and include sponsor identification on all forthcoming political advertisements. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.<br> </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).<br> </p><p>Any allegations regarding reporting by the PAC for 2024 that are not otherwise addressed are hereby dismissed.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1621560.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "162156 Pursuit PAC Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7501/162156%20Pursuit%20PAC%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "162156 Pursuit PAC Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7501/162156%20Pursuit%20PAC%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "162156 Pursuit PAC Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7501/162156%20Pursuit%20PAC%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]03/24/2025 02:39:09 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(EY25 JUL25)RCW 29B.30.050/42.17A.320Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - Local<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) completed its review of a complaint filed with the PDC.</p><p>Applicable Laws and Rules<br>RCW 42.17A.320 requires that all political advertising supporting or opposing a candidate or ballot proposition include the sponsor's name and address. Previously, campaign yard signs 4 feet by 8 feet or smaller were not required to include sponsor identification. The Washington State Legislature removed that exemption by passing House Bill 2032 in 2024. In 2024, yard signs printed prior to the effective date of the law were exempt from the new requirements. Starting in 2025, all yard signs, regardless of when they were printed, must have sponsor identification. <br><br>Background and Findings<br>Drew Bono is a 2025 candidate for Arlington City Council and has advanced to the 2025 General Election. <br>The PDC received a complaint alleging the lack of complete sponsor identification on political advertising on July 12, 2025.<br>Bobo is a first-time candidate and, as noted in the complaint, Bono's sign lacked a mailing address, which is required to meet the requirement of full sponsor identification on campaign signs.<br>Bono responded to PDC staff and noted they ordered weatherproof stickers with the required information and placing the stickers on both sides of signs lacking the required information. </p><p>Summary and Resolution<br>Having reviewed the complaint and the supporting evidence, PDC staff has determined that Drew Bono appears to have violated RCW 42.17A. After consideration of all the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purposes of the Fair Campaign Practices Act. Under WAC 390-37-070, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the Commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted. <br><br>Based on this, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1) and WAC 390-37-060(1)(d). PDC staff is reminding you about the importance of complete sponsor identification on political advertising. Bono is expected to comply with PDC statutes and rules in the future. </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1764050.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "176405 Drew Bono Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8222/176405%20Drew%20Bono%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "176405 Drew Bono Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "176405 Drew Bono response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8222/176405%20Drew%20Bono%20response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/26/2025 09:36:20 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

Mr. Sherrell amended the C-1 on July 8, 2024, converting to the Mini Reporting option. Based on PDC records, the candidate had receipts of $4,250.40, spent $2,146.74, and was a first-time filer in the ORCA system.</p><p>• The C-4 and C-3 reports for the period of May 2024 were filed months late.</p><p>• A monthly C-4 report for the period of June 1, 2024 – June 30, 2024, was initially filed timely but then had to be amended and was not finalized until September 27, 2024. Two of the three associated C-3 reports for June were filed late with a third report filed timely.</p><p>• The candidate converted to the Mini Reporting option in July but still had a reporting obligation through the 21-day reporting period. They filed a C-4 for July 1, 2024 – July 15, 2024, and a C-4 for July 16, 2024 – July 29, 2024, on August 20, 2024, amended on September 27, 2024. Ultimately both reports were filed late but neither showed any contributions or expenditures.<br> <br>• Mr. Sherrell does not have other similar warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</p><p>Mr. Sherrell was a first-time candidate and responded to the complaint: “I am truly sorry for the mixup. It is the first time that I have ran for an office and have had to fill these documents out.” Mr. Sherrell worked with PDC Filer Assistance Staff and has addressed the reporting issues outlined in your complaint.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failing to timely and accurately report certain contributions and expenditures does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.</p><p>Per WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Jimmy Sherrell will receive a formal written warning concerning the requirement under RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failing to timely and accurately report contributions and expenditures. Staff expects Mr. Sherrell, moving forward, to follow all statutes and rules about submitting timely and accurate Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) and Receipts & Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports. If violations of PDC statutes or rules occur in the future, the Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action necessary and has dismissed this matter per RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1557280.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "155728 Sherrell_Jimmy Complaint Return Letter (combined).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7073/155728%20Sherrell_Jimmy%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28combined%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "155728 Sherrell_Jimmy Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7073/155728%20Sherrell_Jimmy%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "155728 Jimmy Sherrell Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7073/155728%20Jimmy%20Sherrell%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "155728 Jimmy Sherrell Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "155728 Jimmy Sherrell Supplemental Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7073/155728%20Jimmy%20Sherrell%20Supplemental%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "155728 Jimmy Sherrell Supplemental Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]06/18/2025 10:24:34 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(EY22, Apr 23)RCW 29B.45.010/42.17A.555Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsPublic Employee - Local<ul><li>Allegation: Violation of RCW 42.17A.555 by using City of Federal Way Facilities to assist the 2022 Campaign of Federal Way Mayor Jim Ferrell for King County Prosecuting Attorney.</li></ul><p>The PDC dismissed its staff-generated complaint concerning alleged violations that Steve McNey may have violated RCW 42,17A.555 by using or authorizing the use of City of Federal Way facilities, including staff time of Noah Pawlowski, a 2022 intern with the City of Federal Way, to assist the 2022 campaign of Federal Way Mayor Jim Ferrell for King County Prosecuting Attorney. Staff dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1) and will not be conducting additional investigative work into these allegations or taking further enforcement action in this matter.</p><p>The alleged activities were brought to the attention of the Public Disclosure Commission by a federal agency (the FBI), not by Noah Pawlowski. That agency became aware of the concerns while Mr. Pawlowski was applying for employment with it.</p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found the following:</p><ul><li>From July 18, 2022, through December 31, 2022, Noah Pawlowski worked as an intern for the City of Federal Way, mostly in the office of Mayor Jim Ferrell, but with some time near the end of his employment with Brian Davis, Community Development Director & City Administrator in the office of Community Development, working on a variety of projects.</li><li>Mr. Pawlowski said that shortly after starting work as an intern, he was asked by Steve McNey, in his role as Intergovernmental & Public Affairs Officer, if he would be interested in volunteering for Mayor Ferrell’s campaign for King County Prosecutor. Mr. Pawlowski agreed, and initially performed volunteer services during evening hours and on weekends, on his own time, as an unpaid campaign volunteer. However, Mr. Pawlowski said that shortly after beginning his volunteer services, Mr. McNey gave him campaign work that he understood was to be completed while working as an intern for the City of Federal Way. </li><li>Mr. McNey stated that in no way did he ever direct or suggest to Mr. Pawlowski that he work on campaign-related issues during official work hours. Mr. McNey said the campaign work he gave Mr. Pawlowski was minimal and that Mr. Pawlowski was expected to perform all campaign-related volunteer work on his own time.</li><li>There was also a difference in understanding concerning why Mr. Pawlowski’s hours were increased from 20 to 40 hours per week for a two- to three-week period and how long he was authorized to remain at full-time pay. Employees of the mayor’s office stated Mr. Pawlowski’s hours were increased solely to provide needed administrative coverage for approximately two weeks while two employees were out of the office. Mr. Pawlowski said he understood from Mr. McNey that the need to cover the administrative needs of the mayor’s office for a couple of weeks was an opportunity to reward him for working on Mayor Ferrell’s campaign.</li><li>Mr. Pawlowski stated that the campaign work he performed for Mr. McNey during the workday primarily involved updating and editing online content. Mr. Pawlowski said, “He (McNey) would have me update and respond to anything that was going on for our social media posts at the time. He would have me help edit published content that was campaign content for advertisements. He would help, or have me draft statements to look at, or to edit, or to read over, or to draft myself, that would be published in the media. And any other campaign events or speaking opportunities or debates I was expected to help the campaign prepare for.”</li><li>PDC staff found no evidence that Mr. McNey used public facilities to “put campaign ads on t-shirts” as alleged in the staff-generated complaint.</li><li>PDC staff found Noah Pawlowski and his testimony credible but also found employees of the mayor’s office credible.</li><li>When asked if it was accurate that he took contemporaneous notes of what happened during his internship, Mr. Pawlowski said, “It is accurate, and I prepared a lot of notes in time for my meeting with the FBI agents. And, unfortunately, after they told me that it didn't fit the (federal) prosecutor’s portfolio, at the time it wasn't something that they were going to pursue, I got rid of the notes because I was moving on.”</li><li>No records concerning the campaign work Mr. Pawlowski said he completed while working as an intern for the City of Federal Way were readily available or provided to PDC staff.</li></ul>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1237870.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "123787 Case Closurre Letter - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5719/123787%20Case%20Closurre%20Letter%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "123787 McNey Stephen Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5719/123787%20McNey%20Stephen%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "123787 McNey Stephen Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "123787 Response to Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5719/123787%20Response%20to%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/07/2025 04:37:28 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The complaint alleged that James DeHart, a 2024 candidate for State Representative Position 2 in Legislative District 35, may have violated RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to include sponsor identification on political advertisement.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations and evidence you submitted; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by James DeHart (the “Respondent”); and other relevant information, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the Respondent omitted sponsor information on the Facebook advertisements mistakenly believing it was not required when there was no cost for the ads. Regarding the two yard sign photos identified in the complaint, one was purchased and reported as part of the 2022 DeHart Campaign for the same office and exempt from sponsor ID requirements, while the second set of signs did include sponsor ID in accordance with the Commission’s emergency rule effective June 6, 2024. Finally, the expenditure for the 2024 Campaign web domain appears to have been timely disclosed more than six months before the complaint was submitted.</p><p>After consideration of all the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purposes of the Fair Campaign Practices Act. Under WAC 390-37-070, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the Commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted.</p><p>Pursuant to <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-37-060">WAC 390-37-060(1)(d)</a>, however, James DeHart will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to provide sponsor identification on campaign advertisement.

The Respondent registered as aContinuing Committee under the Full Reporting option. The committee Manager and Treasurer is CrystalVanderYacht.<br>•The Respondent filed Receipts & Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports showing aggregate sums forexpenditures in months throughout 2022 but did not itemize the expenditures. This error occurred whenthe Respondent filed the C-4 reports early, before they entered the itemized monetary expenditures foreach month, and then failed to submit the additional expenditures amending the original report. Afterreceiving the complaint, the Respondent worked with PDC staff to correct the reporting errors. Theoriginal reported expenditures for 2022 were $1,036 and once corrected on November 21, 2024, the totalincreased to $12,036 mostly in contributions made to candidates in the 2022 election. The expendituresto candidates in 2022 were reported by the candidates, as contributions, on their Cash Receipts, MonetaryContributions (C-3) reports.<br>• On November 7, 2023, the Respondent made $500 contributions to the House Democratic Campaign Committee, Senate Republican Campaign Committee, and the Washington Senate Democratic Campaign Committee. Reports in 2023 were also filed early and then not amended to reflect itemized expenditures. The original reported expenditures for 2023 were $30 and once corrected on November 19, 2024, the total increased to $1,533. The expenditures made to the committees in 2023 were reported by the committees, as contributions, on their C-3 reports.<br>• In 2024, Jessica Bateman reported, on a C-3 report, a $500 contribution from the Respondent. PDC staff determined the contribution made to Ms. Bateman’s Senate campaign was the result of surplus funds transferred from her House campaign. The transfer was with permission from the Respondent. The original contribution, from the Respondent, occurred in 2022 and was reported by the candidate on a C-3 report. The expenditure by the Respondent was reported on November 21, 2024, on amended C-4 #110260875.<br>• In 2024, Kevin Van De Wege reported, on a C-3 report, a $500 contribution from the Respondent. PDC staff determined the contribution made to Mr. Van De Wege’s Public Lands Commissioner campaign was the result of surplus funds transferred his Senate campaign. The transfer was with permission from the Respondent. The original contribution, from the Respondent, occurred in 2020 and was reported by the candidate on a C-3 report. The expenditure by the Respondent was also reported in 2020 on C-4 #110003702.<br>• A mitigating factor in this case is that all the expenditures made by the Respondent were reported in the year received as a contribution by the recipients.<br>• The Respondent does not have previous warnings or violations of PDC requirements.<br> </p><p>Summary and Resolution<br>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).<br> </p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, the Washington Denturist Political Action Committee will receive a formal written warning concerning their failure to timely disclose all contributions and expenditures. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that the Washington Denturist Political Action Committee timely file all future required reports of contributions and expenditures.

The complaint alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failing to timely file a 21-day pre-election <i>Campaign Summary Receipts & Expenditures</i> report (C-4 report) in the April 2025 special election.</p><p>Applicable Laws and Rules</p><p> </p><ul><li><a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.235">RCW 42.17A.235(2)</a> states that each treasurer of a candidate or political committee, or an incidental committee, is required to file a statement of organization under this chapter, and shall file with the commission a report, for each election in which a candidate, political committee, or incidental committee is participating, containing the information required by RCW 42.17A.240 on the twenty-first day and the seventh day immediately preceding the date on which the election is held. </li><li> </li></ul><p>Background and Findings</p><p> </p><ul><li>The complaint alleged that Renton FFs Yes on Prop 1 Sponsored by IAAF Local 864 (“The Committee”), a local ballot measure committee, participating in the April 22, 2025, special election, was required to file the 21-day C-4 report. </li></ul><p> </p><ul><li>Staff noted that as a ballot measure committee participating in the April 22, 2025, special election, The Committee was statutorily obligated to file a 21-day pre-election C-4 report on April 1, 2025, depicting contributions received and expenditures incurred for the reporting period covering March 1 – March 31, 2025. </li></ul><p> </p><ul><li>On April 8, 2025, seven days after the deadline, The Committee filed a report that included the 21-day reporting period. The activity for that reporting period was disclosed seven days late. </li></ul><p> </p><p>Summary and Resolution</p><p> </p><p>It appears that the failure to file the 21-day C-4 report was the result of a lack of understanding of the requirements regarding expedited reporting deadlines prior to special elections. The Committee did not intentionally withhold information prior to the April 22, 2025, special election, as demonstrated by filing a C-4 report just seven days after the 21-day C-4 report was due. </p><p> </p><p>Based on our findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, the failure to timely file the 21-day C-4 report does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. </p><p> </p><p>Pursuant to <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-37-060">WAC 390-37-060(1)(d)</a>, however, The Committee is receiving a formal written warning concerning the failure to timely disclose expenditures during the accelerated reporting period.

While it does not appear that, in this instance, Enterprise Washington's activities qualified as a reportable grassroots lobbying campaign, staff is encouraging Enterprise Washington to carefully review future efforts and to reach out if they have questions about the reportability of their activities. The absence of reference to specific legislation does not, in and of itself, disqualify a campaign from being grassroots lobbying. The legislative process is fluid, and proposals can take multiple shapes over the course of a session. If the intent of the campaign is to influence outcomes of that process by mobilizing the public, the campaign is subject to the grassroots lobbying reporting requirements.</p><p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) reviewed the complaint filed by Jim Lazar on February 9, 2025. The complaint alleged that Enterprise Washington may have violated RCW 42.17A.205, .235, and .240 by failing to register as a political committee and report its political advertising expenditures that allegedly encouraged the public to oppose increases in state spending. </p><p>However, the activities described in the complaint appeared to more closely resemble those of a grassroots lobbying campaign than those of a political committee sponsoring political advertising, which is limited to supporting or opposing candidates or ballot propositions in election campaigns. Therefore, based on the description of alleged violations, PDC staff reviewed the complaint as an allegation that Enterprise Washington may have violated RCW 42.17A.640 and WAC 390-20-125 by failing to timely register and report expenditures of a grassroots lobbying campaign that allegedly encouraged the public to influence the <a href="https://fiscal.wa.gov/statebudgets/2025proposals/Documents/co/H-2387.2.pdf">2025-2027 budget</a> as it was being created during the 2025 legislation session.</p><p>Applicable Laws and Rules</p><p><strong>RCW 42.17A.640</strong> requires persons to register and report as a sponsor of a grass roots lobbying campaign when the person’s expenditures exceed $1,500 in any one-month period or $3,000 in any three-month period in presenting a campaign to the public, a substantial portion of which is intended, designed, or calculated primarily to solicit, urge, or encourage the public to influence legislation.</p><p><strong>WAC 390-20-125 </strong>makes PDC Form L-6 the official report for registration and reporting by sponsors of grass roots lobbying campaigns. The rule states that grass roots lobbying, also known as indirect lobbying, involves an appeal to the public to influence legislation in ways stated or implied by the sponsor of the grass roots lobbying campaign. The rule states that grass roots (indirect) lobbying is distinguished from direct lobbying of a legislator, state official, or state agency, which may require registration and reporting separately, pursuant to RCW 42.17A.600 and 42.17A.615.</p><p>Background and Findings</p><ul><li>Enterprise Washington is a nonprofit organization based in Lacey, Washington, dedicated to empowering its business and association members to engage effectively in public affairs and the political process. Its mission is to foster a more business-friendly legislature in Olympia by providing research and strategies to help its members leverage their political resources and maximize their impact on the legislative process.</li></ul><p><strong>Complaint and Staff Findings</strong></p><ul><li>The essence of the complaint was that Enterprise Washington sponsored advertising that sought to solicit, urge, or encourage the public to influence lower spending in the 2025-2027 budget and that Enterprise Washington failed to report this effort as a grassroots lobbying campaign.</li><li>The advertisements did not mention the 2025-2027 budget bill by name or number; however, the ads were sponsored during the 2025 legislative session while the legislature was considering spending priorities and developing its 2025-2027 budget and explained how Washington’s budgets have outpaced revenue growth in recent budgeting cycles.</li><li>The advertisements cited in the complaint appeared on Enterprise Washington’s website, on a website located at <a href="http://www.budgetbreakdown.org">www.budgetbreakdown.org</a>, and as paid advertisements during the televised 2025 Super Bowl football game.</li></ul><p><strong>Response and Staff Findings</strong></p><ul><li>The Respondent described its advertisements as a long-term educational project to inform the public about recent budgeting history in Washington State and to provide recipients with access to government-generated information about those budgets.</li><li>The Respondent noted that its Budget Breakdown education effort did not include a “call to action” to influence specific legislation.</li><li>Enterprise Washington described its advertisements, that ran on numerous media outlets across the state, as a legitimate public education effort that is neither political advertising nor a grassroots lobbying campaign.</li></ul><p>Summary</p><p>Enterprise Washington's effort did not include a “call to action” that would have clearly met the definition of grassroots lobbying by acting to “solicit, urge, or encourage the public to influence legislation.” Instead, the educational effort focused on the state’s recent budgeting history, comparing revenue growth to state spending in key areas. While some might perceive this educational effort as an implied “call to action,” PDC staff concluded the effort stopped short of encouraging intervention in the legislative process or addressing specific legislative priorities.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1674430.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "167443 Enterprise Washington Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7618/167443%20Enterprise%20Washington%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "167443 Respondent-Complainant Resolution Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7618/167443%20Respondent-Complainant%20Resolution%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "167443 Response to Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7618/167443%20Response%20to%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/07/2025 09:19:34 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The complaint alleged violations of: RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately report expenditures; and RCW 42.17A.335 for sponsoring political advertising containing a false statement of material fact about a candidate for public office in the 2025 election.</p><p>Applicable Laws and Rules</p><p> A candidate that selects the Full Reporting option on their C-1 report is required to report contributions and expenditures to the PDC on <i>Cash Receipts Monetary Contributions</i> reports (C-3 reports) and <i>Campaign Summary Receipts & Expenditures</i> reports (C-4 reports) pursuant to <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.235">RCW 42.17A.235</a> & <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.240">RCW 42.17A.240</a>. The due dates for these reports are based upon the election cycle, the candidate’s election participation, and their financial activity. </p><p>Pursuant to <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.240">RCW 42.17A.240(7)</a>, expenditures are disclosed on C-4 reports, which must include, but are not limited to: 1) the name and address of each person to whom an expenditure was made in the aggregate of more than $200 during the period covered by the report; 2) the amount, date, and purpose of each expenditure; and 3) the total sum of all expenditures. Purpose details should state the goods or services provided by the vendor, including the number of items purchased, identify any candidates or ballot propositions supported or opposed by the expenditure, and the name & address of any sub-vendors used. For advertising expenditures, campaigns should describe the type and number of ads, where they appeared or were broadcast, and when (e.g. run dates).</p><p>Per RCW 42.17A.240(9)(a) the name and address of any person and the amount owed for any debt with a value of more than one-thousand dollars that has not been paid for any invoices submitted, goods received, or services performed, within five business days during the period within thirty days before an election, or within ten business days during any other period, shall be reported. </p><p>For guidance related to the re-use of campaign yard signs, see our website: <a href="https://pdc.wa.gov/news/2024/attention-campaigns-and-committees-make-sure-youre-following-updated-rules-yard-signs">https://pdc.wa.gov/news/2024/attention-campaigns-and-committees-make-sure-youre-following-updated-rules-yard-signs</a> </p><p> RCW 42.17A.335 in part states, (1) It is a violation of this chapter for a person to sponsor with actual malice a statement constituting libel or defamation per se under the following circumstances:</p><p>(a) Political advertising or an electioneering communication that contains a false statement of material fact about a candidate for public office; (b) Political advertising or an electioneering communication that falsely represents that a candidate is the incumbent for the office sought when in fact the candidate is not the incumbent; (c) Political advertising or an electioneering communication that makes either directly or indirectly, a false claim stating or implying the support or endorsement of any person or organization when in fact the candidate does not have such support or endorsement. (2) For the purposes of this section, "libel or defamation per se" means statements that tend (a) to expose a living person to hatred, contempt, ridicule, or obloquy, or to deprive him or her of the benefit of public confidence or social intercourse, or to injure him or her in his or her business or occupation, or (b) to injure any person, corporation, or association in his, her, or its business or occupation.</p><p>Political advertising, as defined in RCW 42.17A.005(40), includes any advertising displays, newspaper ads, billboards, signs, brochures, articles, tabloids, flyers, letters, radio or television presentations, digital communication, or other means of mass communication, used for the purpose of appealing, directly or indirectly, for votes or for financial or other support or opposition in any election campaign.</p><p>Background and Findings</p><ul><li> On February 15, 2025, you filed a Campaign Registration (C-1) with the PDC, under the Full Reporting option, for City Council Member Position 2, for the City of Bellevue. </li><li>Your committee is re-using yard signs from your 2021 campaign. Because the signs were originally used in a prior run for the same office, there is no reporting requirement, but the PDC does recommend that you make a note for your own records that the signs were purchased, and reported, in the previous campaign.</li><li>The phrase “Mayor Lee” appeared on a slide for a presentation to campaign volunteers during a training session. In response to the complaint, the Committee indicated that “there was no intention to mislead the public into believing Councilmember Lee is the current mayor. He is consistently referred to publicly and in filings as a Bellevue City Councilmember. Using the title Mayor was done in reference to Councilmember Lee having formerly held that title while serving on the council.” The slide deck for volunteer training events has been updated for future use and the title of Mayor removed. Regarding the alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.335, because the materials were not political advertising and because a candidate cannot defame themselves, PDC staff has determined there is no evidence of a violation.</li><li>Your committee held a Kick-Off event on April 30, 2025, at the Bellevue Hilton. Costs for space and catering were $14,744.31, invoiced on May 6, 2025, and paid on May 7, 2025. Upon receiving the complaint, the Treasurer reported these expenditures by amending the April C-4, #110282413, thinking she needed to report “the cost of any event … as an estimate, on or before the date of the event.” The April report was originally filed timely then amended on June 2, 2025, to reflect the expenditures as “estimates” but the obligation was not reported as incurred on Schedule B of the C-4 report. The April reporting was corrected on August 14, 2025, reflecting the debt incurred and the debt payment was reported on the May C-4 #110307450. The reporting of an obligation was approximately 4 months late and the debt payment was approximately 3 months late.</li><li>Also associated with the Kick-off event are expenditures to the event planner, Monica Tracy, of $3,000 for her services and $271 for copies of materials for the event. Ms. Tracy submitted an invoice to the committee for $3,271 on May 9, 2025, and was also paid on May 9, 2025. Upon inquiry by PDC staff, Ms. Tracy stated that there was no contract for her services but that she had in prior campaigns provided the same services at the same cost. Ms. Tracy is not a professional event planner and states that it takes her “4-6 weeks of part time work” and “is a job I do one time a year every four years for Conrad Lee and I do not do this work for anyone else.” Regardless, Ms. Tracy provided a paid-for service of which the cost for her event planning services was known by the Committee prior to the event occurring and should have been reported as an obligation prior to being reported as an expenditure. Like the Bellevue Hotel expenditure, the Treasurer reported the “estimated” cost for the event planning service by amending the April C-4. The April report was originally filed timely then amended on June 2, 2025, to reflect the expenditures as “estimates,” but the obligation was not reported as incurred on Schedule B of the C-4 report. The April report was corrected on August 14, 2025, reflecting the debt incurred, and the debt payment was reported on May C-4 #110307450. The reporting of an obligation was approximately 4 months late and the debt payment was approximately 3 months late.</li><li>C-4 report #110282413 was amended by #110287529 on June 2, 2025, to include missing quantity for printed items. This information was reported approximately one month late.</li><li>The Respondent does not have previous warnings or violations of PDC requirements within the statute of limitations.</li></ul><p>Summary and Resolution</p><p>PDC staff has determined that there is not sufficient evidence in this matter of a violation that warrants further proceedings. </p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, you are receiving a formal written warning concerning failure to timely disclose obligations and the quantity of printed materials. The formal written warning includes staff’s expectation that you timely and accurately file all future required reports of obligations, contributions, and expenditures.

subvendor should have been provided. For example, The Committee failed to
include the address and names of certain subvendors. The Committee also failed
to fully describe/include the complete run dates and breakdown of political ads
placed/aired at local stations, such as the payment to <i>Town Square Media</i>
for $1,100 on September 9, 2024, and the quantity of fliers and postcards
printed for the expenditure made to <i>Minuteman Press</i> for $4,362.95 on

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span> </span>· Lastly, regarding the allegation related to
The Committee’s website not containing a list of the Top 5 contributors to The
Committee, the staff noted that The Committee failed to include the Top 5
contributors required by the statutory scheme. The staff also noted that The
Committee’s website failed to include the required sponsor identification
language “Paid for by” or “Sponsored by,” including the address of the
committee/sponsor.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>· On July 16, 2025, The Committee amended the
pertinent C-4 report(s) at issue in this matter to better depict the
expenditures made by The Committee in 2024. Additionally,
on or about September 8, 2025, The Committee also added the Top 5 contributors and
the “Paid for by” or “Sponsored by” language on its website.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><span> </span><u>Summary and Resolution</u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>Based on our findings, the staff has
determined that, in this instance, the failure to timely and accurately file
the C-4 reports at issue in the matter and to list Top 5 contributors on The
Committee’s website do not amount to violations that warrant further
investigation.</p>

to <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-37-060">WAC 390-37-060(1)(d)</a>, however, The Committee is receiving a
formal written warning concerning the failure to file timely and accurate C-4 reports
and for the failure to include the Top 5 contributors/sponsor identification

timely and accurate C-4 reports and maintain a list of Top 5
contributors/sponsor identification language on its website in the future. The
Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further
Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p>

<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>On April 14, 2024, the Respondent submitted a C-1, under the Full Reporting
option, for City Council Member, Position 6, in the City of Redmond. The
C-1 was amended April 1, 2025, to the Mini Reporting option.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>Regarding the alleged
violation of RCW 42.17A.490 for not identifying contributors for the transfer
of funds from a previous campaign for a different office, PDC staff
reviewed the reporting, and the Respondent's response to the allegations, and found there
was a transfer of funds from the 2024 to the 2025 committee account and
that both campaigns were self-funded by the candidate. C-3, #110260029, submitted
on November 11, 2024, identified a transfer of funds for $381.11 and the report
initially identified the contributor as “Committee for Jeralee Anderson.” On July 11, 2025, at the request of PDC
staff, the reporting was amended to read “Committee for Jeralee Anderson
Surplus from 2024 Candidate’s Self-Funded Campaign.” Short of the candidate indicating in
their reporting that they gave themselves permission to transfer their own
funds from a previous campaign for a different office, the reporting was done
technically correct. There are no
PDC RCW, WAC or guidance that specify when a campaign is self-funded they
need to identify their own permission to transfer funds, but the candidate
agreed for clarity to amend the reporting. This allegation is dismissed as
unfounded.</span></li>

staff found the following:</span></li>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>For 2021, the last C-4 report, 110074429, shows $0
COH, $0 Liabilities, and $0 Balance.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>For 2023, the first C-4 report, 110210294, shows $62
on line #1. The last C-4 report, 110210298, shows $0 COH, $0 Liabilities and
$0 Balance. The Respondent worked with PDC staff to determine that the start date of
the 2023 campaign was the cause of the reporting discrepancy. On August
22, 2025, the start date of the 2023 campaign was adjusted to account for
an in-kind contribution from the candidate for a POB rental, of $62.00. The
expenditure occurred on May 15, 2023, and was reported timely. The
starting balance of the committee now shows a zero balance and
corresponds to the ending balance of the prior campaign. Also, the
original C-1 was submitted on May 19, 2023, and the adjusted campaign start
date is within the required timeline to submit a registration following
the start of campaign activity. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>There were no missing reports identified in 2024.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>For 2025, the evidence provided by the Complainant
was not the committee’s opening C-4 for the 2025 campaign. The actual first
C-4 report, #110215146, for the period April 1, 2024 – April 30, 2024,
submitted May 10, 2024, shows $0 on line #1. The second C-4 report, 110268394,
for the period May 1, 2024, to November 30, 2024, submitted November 11,
2024, reported the $381.11 transfer from the previous campaign. This C-4
identified financial activity below the $750 threshold for monthly
reporting and was submitted timely. The corresponding C-3 report, 110260029,
for the $381.11 transfer of funds, also filed on November 11, 2024, was filed
timely because the activity is below the $750 monthly reporting
requirement.</span></li>

The complaint also alleged that the campaign's expenditures for the domain name, website hosting (e.g. WordPress), and professional photography may have been sufficient to require the submission of a February C-4 report by March 10, 2025, the absence of which would violate RCW 42.17A.235 and .240.</p><p>Based on the <strong>attached</strong> findings, Erika Evans (the “Respondent”) was a candidate as of February 26, 2025 and both the C-1 and F-1 reports were therefore due to be filed no later than March 12, 2025.

The complaint alleged a violation of RCW 42.17A.320 by failing to include complete sponsor identification language on the committee’s website, specifically “Paid for by” indicating who sponsored (paid for) the website. </p><p>The complaint also alleged a violation of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for inaccurate or incomplete reporting based on the existence of two February C-4 reports for the committee which allegedly contained different beginning and ending balances. However, PDC staff learned that the existence of two C-4 reports for February, 2025 was the result of there being a prior committee that registered in 2023 and concluded its activities on February 15, 2025, and the registration of a new committee, by the same name, on February 15, 2025. There was no discrepancy in the dollar amounts reported for the closed committee’s ending balance and the new committee’s beginning balance. As a result, the allegation concerning .235 and .240 is dismissed.</p><p>Applicable Laws and Rules</p><p> <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.005">RCW 42.17A.005(40)</a> defines "political advertising" to include “digital communication, or other means of mass communication, used for the purpose of appealing, directly or indirectly, for votes or for financial or other support or opposition in any election campaign.” <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-05-290">WAC 390-05-290</a> specifically identifies “internet websites” as a form of “mass communication.”</p><p><a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.005">RCW 42.17A.005(47)(a)</a> defines a “sponsor” to mean the person<a href="#_ftn1">[1]</a> paying for the advertising.</p><p>Per <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.320">RCW 42.17A.320(1)</a>, all written political advertising, whether relating to candidates or ballot propositions, must include the sponsor’s name and address, and <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-18-010">WAC 390-18-010(2)</a> states “all advertising must clearly state…that it has been paid for by the sponsor.”</p><p>Background and Findings </p><p>South Kitsap School Supporters (the “Respondent”) had two registered committees during election year 2025:</p><ul><li><a href="https://www.pdc.wa.gov/political-disclosure-reporting-data/browse-search-data/committees/co-2025-35079#overview">Committee #1</a> registered on November 30, 2023 indicating their support for South Kitsap SD 402, participated in the February 2025 Special Election, reported expenditures for signs and postage, and filed their post-election C-4 report early on February 15, 2025, which they noted was their “Final” report.</li><li><a href="https://www.pdc.wa.gov/political-disclosure-reporting-data/browse-search-data/committees/co-2025-37594#overview">Committee #2</a>, by the same name, registered on February 15, 2025 and indicated their support for a South Kitsap SD 402 bond or levy in the 2025 Primary Election. However, the second committee later said its plans had changed and they no longer planned to participate in the 2025 Primary. The second committee has received & reported monthly payroll deductions of $333/month for January-June that were reported as lump sum “Small Contributions” and three $25 contributions received in late June. To date, the second committee has not made any expenditures.</li></ul><p>The Respondent has a website <a href="https://southkitsapschoolsupporters.com/">https://southkitsapschoolsupporters.com/</a> which contains 1) a statement indicating it is “dedicated to [the] passage of bonds and levies for the South Kitsap School District;” 2) a <a href="https://www.skschools.org/levy">link</a> to the school district’s webpage regarding its most recent levy, Prop. 1 (which passed in the February 11, 2025 Special Election); and 3) a “Make a Contribution” page. The website also contains a “Bonds vs. Levies” page that specifically mentions the school district, and a “Contact Us” page that asks the reader whether they want to get involved, endorse the campaign or volunteer.</p><ul><li>Internet websites are a form of mass communication and the Respondent’s site is used to appeal for financial or other support for South Kitsap School District levies and bonds and is therefore political advertising. Subsequently, sponsor identification (ID) is required.</li></ul><p>On June 2, 2025, the Respondent emailed PDC staff and said their plans had changed and they would not be participating in the 2025 Primary Election. They also stated the committee has not made any expenditures in 2025<a href="#_ftn2">[2]</a> and thus falls below the $750 reporting threshold but would file reports because they strive for full transparency with the public, regardless of reporting thresholds.</p><p>The Respondent added “Paid for by” language to their website on June 3, 2025.</p><p>On June 3, 2025, the Respondent provided a written response to the complaint and indicated the following:</p><ul><li>The committee disputed the allegation that their website is subject to additional sponsor ID. They contend it is an organizational website – not a campaign or political website – because it lacks mention of a specific election campaign and information regarding proposed ballot measures and does not advocate for voting a particular way. They said it is obvious the website is owned and paid for by South Kitsap School Supporters because their contact information, purpose, and officers are all listed on the site, and any reasonable person would conclude that they pay for the site. Nonetheless, the committee stated they added the requested “Paid for by” language to their website.</li><li>The committee 1) participated in the February 2025 Special Election filed as a single election committee; and 2) filed again as a single election committee for the 2025 Primary Election. However, the Respondent said they have not made, and do not anticipate making, any expenditures for the Primary Election.</li></ul><p> The committee does not have any warnings<a href="#_ftn3">[3]</a>/violations of RCW 42.17A.320 regarding sponsor ID.</p><p>Summary and Resolution</p><p>Noncompliance appears to be the result of a good-faith misunderstanding regarding what constitutes political advertising and therefore requires complete sponsor identification. However, the missing “Paid for by” language on the Respondent’s website is mitigated by the fact that their identity was obvious, as evidenced by the presence of their name, address, and other content.

<p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>The
complaint alleged that Yes! Whatcom Libraries Levy Lid Lift Sponsored by
Whatcom County Library Foundation (The Committee), a single-election year committee
in the 2025 election year, failed to timely and accurately file contributions
(C-3) and expenditure (C-4) reports. </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Staff
noted that The Committee failed to timely file the December 2024 C-3 report for
the $10,000 contribution received from Whatcom County Library Foundation on December
23, 2024. This report was required to be filed no later than January 10, 2025,
and was filed approximately 49 days late on February 28, 2025. However, in
reviewing this complaint, staff noted that The Committee had reached out to the
PDC staff on November 26, 2024, looking for direction/guidance on how to
properly file the required reports, which they had failed to file going back a
few election cycles. </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>According
to the email from Christine Perkins on behalf of The Committee on November 26,
2024, The Committee was active in 2021 and 2022 in support of two propositions
but failed to “reach a supermajority (by 26 votes) in 2021 and tried again in
2022 and again came short of the supermajority.” According to Ms. Perkins, The
Committee disbanded shortly thereafter but failed to finish its reporting. As
such, when The Committee was revived again during the 2025 election year/cycle,
it had to retroactively file all the required reports for 2022-2024. </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Regarding
the allegation about inadequate expenditure description for the 2025 election
year, the staff noted that The Committee should have provided a description/identity
of the sub-vendor paid by The Committee for “Website Expenses” disclosed in the
April 2025 C-4 report to include the name and address of the sub-vendor. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>In its
response to the complaint, The Committee, by way of Christine Perkins, stated: “At
the time I made the deposit in question, I thought I understood what I needed
to do. Unfortunately, when I went to record the deposit online, I ran into
difficulty. I had several more back and forth exchanges with the PDC and was
eventually able to record the deposit correctly. The second item concerns a C4
which shows an expense payment reimbursing a committee member for website
hosting fees. Unfortunately, we missed checking the box that says there was a
secondary vendor. As soon as this discrepancy was pointed out to us, she
updated the expense information and amended the C4. I believe this error has
been corrected.” </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>On
July 24, 2025, The Committee amended its April 2025 C-4 report to include the name
and address of the sub-vendor associated with the April 1, 2025, expenditure
for “Website Expenses.” </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Based on our findings,
staff has determined that, in this instance, the failure to timely and
accurately file the required C-4 reports does not amount to a violation that
warrants further investigation. The Committee was proactively taking steps to
catch up on its reporting at the time the complaint was filed. </span><a name="_Hlk532386121"><span></span></a></p>

PDC staff expects that Cascade Party of Washington will file timely, complete reports in the future. The Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) reviewed the three complaints filed by Conner Edwards on Nov. 13, 2024; April 1, 2025; and April 25, 2025, alleging that Cascade Party of Washington (CPW) may have violated RCW 42.17A.205, .235, and .240 by failing to timely and properly register and report its activities as a minor political party that is also a political committee. The complaints made the following allegations:</p><p>Complaint 1, filed Nov. 13, 2024</p><ul><li><strong>First Allegation:</strong> Complaint 1 alleged that Cascade Party of Washington may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by not filing C-4 reports for contribution and expenditure activities occurring during the period July through October 2024. PDC staff asked Cascade Party of Washington to file the missing reports, and informed CPW that all political advertising for newspapers, radio, television, etc. needed to include the name and address of the vendor and the run dates for the ads, and for political advertising that is mailed, the number of mailers purchased. </li><li><strong>Second Allegation:</strong> Complaint 1 also alleged that Cascade Party of Washington may have violated RCW 42.17A.205 by failing to list all committee officers on its committee registration. Staff explained the definition of committee officer in <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-05-245">WAC 390-05-245</a> and asked CPW to amend its committee registration to include all committee officers, based on that definition.</li></ul><p>Complaint 2, filed April 1, 2025</p><ul><li>The complaint alleged that Cascade Party of Washington may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to file C-4 reports of contributions and expenditures for activities occurring during July, Aug., Sep., Oct., and Dec. 2024. The complaint also alleged that the C-4 report for Feb. 2025 was filed four days late. </li></ul><p>Complaint 3, filed April 25, 2025</p><ul><li>The complaint alleged that Cascade Party of Washington may have violated RCW 42.17A.205 by failing to include, in its political committee name, the name of a person who met the statutory definition of “sponsor” of the political committee based on the amount of contributions made by that person.</li></ul><p>Applicable Laws and Rules</p><p><strong>RCW 42.17A.005(6)</strong> "Bona fide political party" includes:</p><p>(a) An organization that has been recognized as a minor political party by the secretary of state.</p><p><strong>RCW 42.17A.005(12)</strong> "Committee" unless the context indicates otherwise, includes a political committee such as a candidate, ballot proposition, recall, political, or continuing political committee.</p><p><strong>RCW 42.17A.005(39)</strong> "Person" includes an individual, partnership, joint venture, public or private corporation, association, federal, state, or local governmental entity or agency however constituted, candidate, committee, political committee, <i>political party</i>, executive committee thereof, or any other organization or group of persons, however organized. (Emphasis added)</p><p><strong>RCW 42.17A.005(41)</strong> "Political committee" means any person (except a candidate or an individual dealing with the candidate's or individual's own funds or property) having the expectation of receiving contributions or making expenditures in support of, or opposition to, any candidate or any ballot proposition.</p><p><strong>RCW 42.17A.005(14)</strong> "Continuing political committee" means a political committee that is an organization of continuing existence not limited to participation in any particular election campaign or election cycle.</p><p>Findings</p><ul><li>Cascade Party of Washington’s website states that it is an independent member-driven state party whose mission is to be the party of free speech and offer a new voice to the people of Washington at all levels of government.</li></ul><p>CPW’s Response to Complaints 1 and 2</p><ul><li>When seeking a response to the second allegation in Complaint 1, PDC staff stated, “The complaint alleges that Cascade Party of Washington has failed to list its committee officers on its committee registration. The initial committee registration listed only one committee officer, Treasurer Scott Nall. The current registration, filed Feb. 6, 2025, also lists only one officer, Erik Raistakka, Treasurer. The Cascade Party of Washington website lists its leadership as Chair Krist Novoselic; Vice Chair Kiera Obrien; Secretary Marjorie O’Rourke; Treasurer Erik Raistakka; and Board Members: Kelly Wright, Devin Doyle, Johann Peters, Dannon Townsend, Shane Ross, and Jesse A. James. If any of the individuals on the leadership team meet the definition of a committee officer of the political committee (see below) they must be listed on an amended committee registration.”</li><li>Erik Raistakka stated Cascade Party of Washington established itself as a bona fide political party during the 2024 campaign cycle. He stated, on Jan. 11, 2025, CPW held its convention and elected its first officer slate and adopted bylaws. Krist Novoselic was named chair, Kiera O'Brien was named vice chair, Marjorie O'Rourke was named secretary, and Erik Raistakka was named treasurer. </li><li>Erik Raistakka stated that following CPW’s Jan. 11, 2025 convention, he spent two-months gaining full access to the party's bank account and agreed to update CPW’s PDC filings on a regular basis based on those financial records. </li><li>Erik Raistakka stated that, as instructed previously by PDC staff, based on CPW’s difficulties in updating the party's filings online, CPW resubmitted its PDC filing registration in February 2025 and stated it would file required reports based on the re-registration date going forward. Erik Raistakka stated he attempted to start with initial contribution records based on its Cash-on-Hand balance on that day. He acknowledged that CPW’s February 2025 report was filed a few days late because of finalizing his full online access to the party’s bank records. Erik Raistakka stated the party’s March 2025 report was filed timely.</li><li>Cascade Party of Washington stated it took the following actions to bring its reporting into full compliance:</li><li>Updated the email information on file to <a href="mailto:contact@cascadeparty.org">contact@cascadeparty.org</a>;</li><li>Added the four executive committee members to the committee registration; and </li><li>Resubmitted the C4 reports from July 2024 to March 2025, as recommended by PDC staff, to attempt a "start fresh" as of February 2025.</li></ul><p>CPW’s Response to Complaint 3</p><ul><li>CPW asserted that it is a "bona fide political party" as defined under Washington Revised Code (RCW) 42.17A.005(6) and is not a "political committee" under RCW 42.17A.005(12). Erik Raistakka asserted that, as such, Cascade Party is not subject to the requirements imposed on political committees and is entitled to specific exemptions, including those related to fundraising, expenditure rules, and sponsor identification under RCW 42.17A.320.</li><li>Erik Raistakka stated CPW has been recognized as a minor political party by the Washington Secretary of State, satisfying the criteria for a "bona fide political party" under RCW 42.17A.005(6). He said the party has complied with the statutory requirements for minor political parties, including holding advertised conventions and securing signatures from at least 1,000 registered voters on a petition bearing the party’s name, as required during a presidential election year. He said these processes distinguish Cascade Party from entities classified as political committees, which can be formed by anyone at any time through simple filing.</li><li>Erik Raistakka stated CPW is not a political committee under RCW 42.17A.005(12) which defines a committee as including a candidate, ballot proposition, recall, political, or continuing political committee.</li><li>Erik Raistakka then stated, “The examples listed in the statute—candidate, ballot proposition, recall, political, or continuing committees—share the common characteristic of being entities that can be formed by any individual or group at any time through simple filing. In contrast, a bona fide political party, such as the Cascade Party, is subject to stringent statutory requirements that limit its formation to specific processes and timelines. The distinct definitions provided in RCW 42.17A.005(6) and (12) demonstrate that the legislature intended to treat bona fide political parties and political committees as separate entities with different obligations and privileges.”</li><li>Erik Raistakka went on to note that, “Unlike political committees, which are prohibited from maintaining exempt accounts, bona fide political parties are expressly permitted to raise and spend money under 'exempt' rules. This distinction further underscores the unique status of bona fide political parties under Washington law and supports the Cascade Party’s position that it is not subject to the restrictions imposed on political committees.”</li><li>Erik Raistakka also cited an example from RCW 42.17A.320 that exempts a “bona fide political party” from a certain type of sponsor identification requirement, to demonstrate a difference between a political party and a political committee.</li><li>Erik Raistakka concluded his response to Complaint 3 by stating, “The Cascade Party of Washington is a 'bona fide political party' as defined by RCW 42.17A.005(6) and is not a 'political committee' under RCW 42.17A.005(12). The clear statutory distinctions between these entities, combined with the Cascade Party’s compliance with the requirements for minor political party recognition, establish that it is not subject to the requirements imposed on political committees. Furthermore, as a bona fide political party, the Cascade Party is entitled to specific exemptions, including the ability to maintain exempt accounts and relief from sponsor identification requirements under RCW 42.17A.320.”</li></ul><p>PDC Staff Response and Comments</p><ul><li>Upon PDC advice and request, Erik Raistakka, Treasurer, acting in good faith on behalf of Cascade Party of Washington, included all committee officers on an amended committee registration, filed April 18, 2025.</li><li>Upon PDC advice and request, Erik Raistakka, Treasurer, acting in good faith on behalf of Cascade Party of Washington, filed missing reports and amended multiple C-3 and C-4 Reports of Contributions and Expenditures with additional detail for expenditures that included the name and address of vendors, a description of events, and run dates for advertising of the benefited party activities.</li><li>Erik Raistakka refunded contributions and deposited additional contributions. As a result, Cascade Party of Washington no longer meets the criteria of a sponsored committee. </li></ul><p>Characterization of and Reporting Requirements for Cascade Party of Washington</p><ul><li>Under RCW 42.17A.005(6), Cascade Party Washington is a "Bona fide political party" because it has been recognized as a minor political party by the secretary of state.</li><li>Under RCW 42.17A.005(12) "Committee" includes, in addition to a candidate, ballot proposition or recall committee, a <i>political committee</i> and a continuing political committee. (Emphasis added)</li><li>RCW 42.17A.005(41) "Political committee" means any <i>person</i> (except a candidate or an individual dealing with the candidate's or individual's own funds or property) having the expectation of receiving contributions or making expenditures in support of, or opposition to, any candidate or any ballot proposition. (Emphasis added)</li><li>RCW 42.17A.005(39) "Person" includes an individual, partnership, joint venture, public or private corporation, association, federal, state, or local governmental entity or agency however constituted, candidate, committee, political committee, <i>political party</i>, executive committee thereof, or any other organization or group of persons, however organized. (Emphasis added)</li><li>It is the position of PDC staff, that in addition to being a Bona fide political party, under the law, Cascade Party of Washington is also a political committee subject to the registration and reporting requirements of RCW 42.17A, while at the same time enjoying the higher contribution limits under RCW 42.17A.405 for political parties and limited exceptions to specific sponsor identification requirements under RCW 42.17A.320.</li></ul><p>Summary</p><p>Cascade Party of Washington did not initially include all officers on its committee registration or include the name of its sponsor in its political committee name and filed a limited number of C-4 Reports of Contributions and expenditures late, which for some reports needed more detailed expenditure descriptions. Mitigating factors include online registration and reporting issues experienced while CPW was working to meet the requirements of the Washington Secretary of State to become a bona fide political party and the fact that Cascade Party of Washington did not support or oppose candidates during the 2024 elections. In addition, CPW filed the missing reports, amended reports with more detailed expenditure descriptions and received additional contributions and refunded contributions such that the committee was no longer a sponsored committee. Also, the party’s Treasurer worked cooperatively with PDC staff to amend the committee’s registration and file amended reports of contributions and expenditures.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1643340.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "164334 Respondent-Complainant Resolution Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7555/164334%20Respondent-Complainant%20Resolution%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "164334 Cascade Party Complaint (3).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7555/164334%20Cascade%20Party%20Complaint%20%283%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "164334 Response to Complaints (1) and (2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7555/164334%20Response%20to%20Complaints%20%281%29%20and%20%282%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "164334 Cascade Party Complaint (1).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7555/164334%20Cascade%20Party%20Complaint%20%281%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "164334 Cascade Party Complaint (2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7555/164334%20Cascade%20Party%20Complaint%20%282%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "164334 Response to Complaint (3).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7555/164334%20Response%20to%20Complaint%20%283%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]06/11/2025 10:36:44 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

However, this prohibition does not apply to:</p><p><i>(1) Action taken at an open public meeting by members of an elected legislative body … to express a collective decision, or to actually vote upon a motion, proposal, resolution, order, or ordinance, or to support or oppose a ballot proposition so long as (a) any required notice of the meeting includes the title and number of the ballot proposition, and (b) members of the legislative body … or members of the public are afforded an approximately equal opportunity for the expression of an opposing view.</i></p><p>Findings</p><ul><li>In addition to the provisions of RCW 42.17A.555, the City Council has made itself subject to a set of adopted Rules of Procedure. The Council stated they believed that the version of Rule 3.9 in effect in January 2025 prohibited the Council from supporting or opposing ballot propositions even though such support or opposition was allowed under RCW 42.17A.555(1).</li><li>At its regular meeting on Jan. 13, 2025, the Council voted to hold a Special Meeting on Jan. 22, 2025 to consider waiving a portion of Council Rule 3.9 to allow discussion of whether to support the two Sequim School District ballot propositions.</li><li>On Jan. 17, 2025, the City Clerk provided notice of the Jan. 22, 2025 Special Meeting to the Peninsula Daily News for publication on Jan. 18, 2025. Also on Jan. 17, a Councilmember stated she contacted the PDC and understood from her conversation with PDC staff that the Council could proceed with the Special Meeting but it would be better if the Council’s rules about supporting or opposing ballot measures were changed permanently.</li><li>The Special Meeting notice was timely. It included the names and titles of the two ballot propositions along with notice that limited public comment would be heard.

The complaint alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.320 and WAC 390-18-010 by failing to include proper sponsor identification for political advertising, specifically, the failure to include sponsor identification on yard signs. </p><p>Applicable Laws and Rules</p><p><a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.320">RCW 42.17A.320</a> requires that all political advertising supporting or opposing a candidate or ballot proposition includes the sponsor's name and address. Previously, campaign yard signs 4 feet by 8 feet or smaller were not required to include sponsor identification. The Washington State Legislature removed that exemption by passing House Bill 2032 in 2024. In 2024, the PDC granted a one-time exemption to yard signs printed prior to the effective date of the law. Starting in 2025, all yard signs, regardless of when they were printed, must have sponsor identification. </p><p>Background and Findings</p><ul><li>On May 22, 2025, the Respondent in this matter filed a candidate registration with the PDC for the position Mayor in the City of Black Diamond. </li><li>The complaint alleged that the Respondent's campaign failed to include the required sponsor identification language on its yard signs pursuant to the statutory scheme. The complainant included pictures/images of your signs with no sponsorship identification language as evidence of the alleged violation. </li><li>In a second written response received on June 20, 2025, the campaign stated: “I’ve ordered some stickers with sponsor info.” </li><li>On July 9, 2025, the campaign confirmed that all his signs were now affixed with stickers containing the required sponsor identification requirement. </li></ul><p>Summary and Resolution</p><p>Having reviewed the complaint and the supporting evidence, the PDC staff has determined that you appear to have violated RCW 42.17A. However, after consideration of all the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purpose of the law. Under WAC 390-37-070, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the Commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted. </p><p>Based on this, the PDC dismissed this matter in accordance with <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.755">RCW 42.17A.755(1)</a> and WAC 390-37-060(1)(d) and the PDC staff issued a reminder to the Respondent about the importance of including complete sponsor identification on political campaign yard signs in the future. </p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1741880.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "174188 John Adler Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7996/174188%20John%20Adler%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "174188 Adler John Complaint Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7996/174188%20Adler%20John%20Complaint%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/22/2025 09:12:25 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The statement of organization shall include:<br>(b)The names, addresses, and electronic contact information of all related or affiliated committees <br>or other persons, and the nature of the relationship or affiliation;<br>(c) The names, addresses, and titles of its officers; or if it has no officers, the names, <br>addresses, and titles of its responsible leaders;<br>(d) The name, address, and electronic contact information of its treasurer and depository.</p><p>RCW 42.17A.320 requires that all political advertising supporting or opposing a candidate or ballot <br>proposition includes the sponsor's name and address. WAC 390-18-010 indicates that all advertising <br>must clearly state that it has been paid for by the sponsor.<br>Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.235 & RCW 42.17A.240, a committee that selects the Full Reporting option on <br>its Committee Registration (C-1pc) report is required to report contributions and expenditures to <br>the PDC on Cash Receipts Monetary Contributions reports (C-3 reports) and Campaign Summary Receipts <br>& Expenditures reports (C-4 reports). The due dates for these reports are based upon the election <br>cycle, the committee’s election participation, and its financial activity.<br> </p><p>Background and Findings</p><p>• The Committee first registered an exempt account in May 2018 and continues to be a registered <br>Bonafide Committee under the Full Reporting option.<br>• Prior to April 1, 2025, the day the complaint was filed, the Committee’s PDC registration named <br>Shaina Langley, Chair; Charles Adkins, Treasurer; and Jacob Read, Ministerial Treasurer and <br>Compliance Consultant, as officers of the Committee. Following the complaint, and upon inquiry by <br>PDC staff, the Committee reviewed statutory requirements and determined that Josh Brunner should be <br>listed as the Vice Chair and updated the registration on April 30, 2025.<br>• The Committee has a website at https://www.38thlddemocrats.com/about. Prior to the complaint, <br>the website clearly showed the Committee’s name, Executive Board to include contact information for <br>the Chair, Vice Chairs, Treasurer, and Secretary, and the address and general contact information <br>for the Committee. The website did however not include the term “Paid for By” as required for <br>complete sponsor identification on political advertising. The website was updated on April 21, <br>2025, to include the required terminology to bring the site into compliance.<br>• Per the complaint, a contribution of $2,500, received on January 24, 2025, and deposited on <br>January 30, 2025, was reported 37 days late on March 18, 2025. The contribution should have<br>been reported by February 10, 2025.<br>• The Committee has no prior warnings or violations of similar PDC requirements.<br>Summary and Resolution</p><p>The Committee worked effectively and promptly with PDC staff to remedy the issues outlined in the <br>complaint. Officers explained the late reporting of the $2,500 contribution as the “result of a <br>lapse in our standard operating procedures. The errors that resulted in the lapse and delayed <br>report have been corrected and will not impact our future reports. We apologize for the late report <br>of this deposit.”</p><p>Based on our findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, any violation that may have <br>occurred was minor and has been cured. After consideration of the circumstances, further <br>proceedings would not serve the purposes of this chapter. Under WAC 390-37- 060, the executive <br>director, at any time prior to consideration by the commission, may dismiss a complaint which on <br>its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, <br>but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or <br>rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted. The Committee’s failure to timely <br>file a C-3 report, include the Vice Chair on the C-1 report, and include the words “Paid for By” as <br>part of the sponsor identification on their website does not amount to a violation that warrants <br>further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, you are receiving a formal written warning concerning <br>failure to timely disclose a contribution, update the C-1 with Committee officer information, and <br>include complete sponsor identification on the Committee’s website. The formal written warning will <br>include staff’s expectation that you, in the future, follow all applicable requirements related to <br>reporting of contributions and expenditures and sponsor identification on a website. The Commission <br>will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are <br>future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).<br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1700430.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "170043 38thLDD Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7662/170043%2038thLDD%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "170043 38th LD Dems PAC Dismissal Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7662/170043%2038th%20LD%20Dems%20PAC%20Dismissal%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "170043 38th LD Democrats Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7662/170043%2038th%20LD%20Democrats%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]07/02/2025 10:01:23 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaint alleged a violation of RCW 42.17A.710 and WAC 390-24 for <br>failure to accurately report required information on the Personal Financial Affairs Disclosure <br>(F-1).<br> </p><p>Applicable Laws and Rules</p><p>Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.700, elected and appointed officials are required to file a Personal <br>Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) on or about April 15th of each year, disclosing financial <br>activity for the official and their spouse or domestic partner for the preceding calendar year.</p><p>Per RCW 42.17A.710 , the content of the F-1 report includes, but is not limited to, the following <br>information for the filer and their spouse or registered domestic partner:</p><p>• income of $2,400 or more;<br>• financial assets and interest income (bank and savings accounts and insurance policies greater <br>than $24,000 and investments greater than $2,400);<br>• Washington State real estate valued at more than $12,000;<br>• debt of $2,400 or more; and<br>• business associations and organizational interests (e.g. ownership, serving as an officer, <br>director or general partner)<br>WAC 390-24 outlines requirements for reporting financial affairs by candidates and officials.</p><p>Background and Findings</p><p>• You ran for the Puyallup City Council in 2021, won the election, and have served as a City <br>Council Member for the 2022 to 2025 term. In 2024, you were selected by Council to serve as Deputy <br>Mayor for 2024 – 2025.<br>• Upon review of the F-1, PDC staff found there were material differences reported by you between <br>reports filed for 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. Staff confirmed the following:<br>o A Small Business Administration (SBA) loan, related to COVID relief, was not reported as <br>required.<br>o You and your wife, Melinda King, own Dennis and Melinda King Real Estate, LLC, as a holding <br>company for a property at 1111/1113 Meridian, Puyallup. The property was reported under Business <br>Associations for 2021, but the LLC was not reported. In 2022, 2023 and 2024, you reported the <br>property as Real Estate and again did not report the LLC as a business association nor any income <br>derived from the property. There was no debt reported associated with the 1111/1113 Meridian <br>property in 2021, 2023 or 2024, but in 2022 there was a mortgage reported for the property.<br>o There was a HELOC and car loan reported in 2022 that was not carried forward in 2023 or 2024.<br>o Dennis King Home Team, LLC., was reported as a business association in 2022 & 2024 but not in <br>2023. There was no income reported for the LLC.</p><p>• Staff confirmed that Melinda King, your spouse, only had earned income from a co-owned business, <br>Skate Tiffany’s. The reporting correctly showed your and your wife’s earned income for the periods <br>March 29, 2020 - March 28, 2021, January 1, 2021 - December 31, 2021, and January 1, 2022 - <br>December 31, 2022. You said Skate Tiffany’s did not have earned income in 2023 or 2024, and you <br>therefore did not have to report income. You did continue reporting Tiffany's Puyallup Inc., under <br>Business Associations on the F-1, as a co-owned business. You and your wife received unemployment <br>benefits, related to COVID relief that were correctly reported for 2020 and 2021.

The complaints alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.235 <br>and .240 for failure to timely file Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) and Receipts & <br>Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports.<br> </p><p>Applicable Laws and Rules</p><p>A committee that selects the Full Reporting option on their C-1pc report is required to report <br>contributions and expenditures to the PDC on Cash Receipts Monetary Contributions reports (C-3) and <br>Campaign Summary Receipts & Expenditures (C-4) reports pursuant to RCW 42.17A.235 & RCW 42.17A.240. <br>The due dates for these reports are based upon the election cycle, the committee’s election <br>participation, and their financial activity.</p><p>Background and Findings<br>• The CCDCC is a Bona Fide Political Party Committee for Cowlitz County. The most recent Political <br>Committee Registration (C-1pc) filed on April 16, 2025, for the Non-Exempt Fund account, identified <br>the CCDCC as a Continuing Committee under the Full Reporting option.<br>• The Committee timely filed C-4 report #110181056, for period September 1, 2023 – October 16, <br>2023, on October 17, 2023, and then submitted amended report #110277165, adding an expenditure for <br>postage, on March 29, 2025. Upon being notified about the complaint, the Committee again amended <br>their reporting, with C-4 report #110280927, on April 18, 2025, to remove the expenditure for <br>postage. The postage was previously, and timely, reported in the exempt account and erroneously <br>reported in the non-exempt account. The Treasurer explained the issue:<br>“This mistake is mine. During my internal audit I noticed that this expense for postage was <br>‘missing’ from the PDC. After consulting with my executive board, I realize that this contribution <br>occurred through our exempt account and was already reported to the PDC. See the following link. https://www.pdc.wa.gov/political-disclosure-reporting- <br>data/browse-search-data/committees/co-2023-34908. My plan is to readjust the 2023 campaign for the <br>CCDCC, remove this transaction, as it was already reported from the exempt account.”<br>• Similarly, for C-3 report #110277164, submitted on March 29, 2025, a contribution was <br>erroneously reported from the WA Dems to the non-exempt account when it had been previously <br>reported by that account. On April 16, 2025, the Committee amended the report, see C-3 #110280738, <br>fixing the reporting in the non-exempt account by removing the contribution.<br>• C-3 report #110277172, for a deposit of $100 on October 18, 2023, was not filed until March 29, <br>2025. The new committee Treasurer stated the reporting of this contribution was missed by the <br>original treasurer and caught by the new treasurer during an audit. The late reporting was the <br>result of their internal audit. PDC staff noted the report showed a $100 Small Contribution by one <br>person. The Treasurer amended the C-3 again on April 19, 2025, to reflect the individual <br>contributor’s name and address.<br>• Issues associated with C-4 reports covering January and February 2024 were addressed in PDC Case <br>162592. The resolution in that case included a dismissal of reporting issues during calendar year <br>2024.<br>• PDC Staff found that in three instances of its C-1pc filing, the Committee spelled “democratic” <br>as “democractic” in the filing name of the committee. This does make searching for the Committee <br>more difficult but is not a violation.<br>• The Respondent does have previous warnings of similar PDC requirements.</p><p>Summary and Resolution<br>Under WAC 390-37- 060, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the <br>commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides <br>reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in <br>substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action <br>is not warranted. The lack of detail in reporting of which levies were being supported and the <br>errors in reporting caused by the Committee’s internal audit do not amount to violations that <br>warrant further investigation.</p><p>The violations of PDC laws and rules made by you are remediable in nature and do not warrant <br>further investigation or enforcement action. The late reported expenditure(s) or contribution(s) <br>involved totaled no more than $1,500, and the violations were inadvertent, minor, and otherwise <br>have been cured. They did not materially harm the public interest beyond the harm to the policy of <br>Chapter 42.17A RCW inherent in any violation.<br>In addition, you took corrective action within five business days after being notified of <br>noncompliance by PDC staff and substantially met filing deadlines for all other required reports <br>within the preceding 12 months.</p><p>Any allegations regarding reporting by the Committee for the 2023 calendar year that are not <br>otherwise addressed are hereby dismissed. Allegations regarding reporting by the Committee for the <br>2024 calendar year were addressed in PDC Case 162592. The resolution in that case included a <br>dismissal of reporting issues during calendar year 2024.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).<br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1700440.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "170044 CCDC Case Closure Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7663/170044%20CCDC%20Case%20Closure%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}, {"file_name" : "170044 Cowlitz County Democratic Central Committee Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7663/170044%20Cowlitz%20County%20Democratic%20Central%20Committee%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "170044 COWLITZ COUNTY DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL COMMITTEE Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7663/170044%20COWLITZ%20COUNTY%20DEMOCRATIC%20CENTRAL%20COMMITTEE%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "170044 Cowlitz County DCC Response to Supplemental Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7663/170044%20Cowlitz%20County%20DCC%20Response%20to%20Supplemental%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "170044 Cowlitz County Democratic Central Committee (2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7663/170044%20Cowlitz%20County%20Democratic%20Central%20Committee%20%282%29.pdf", "description" : "170044 Cowlitz County Democratic Central Committee Complaint (2)", "document_type" : ""}]07/03/2025 07:42:30 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The complaint alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately disclose expenditures on C-4 reports.</p><p>The Committee acted in good faith by submitting the amendment to the February 2025 C-4 report to include the February 28, 2025, expenditure omitted from the original submission. PDC staff appreciates the Committee’s proactive approach to ensure compliance with its reporting obligations and its prompt attention. However, it is staff’s opinion that because the Committee does not have contribution limits, the $200 limit cited in RCW 42.17A.235(10)(c) applies to the Committee instead, and therefore the Committee does not qualify for the “safe harbor” provisions of subsection (10). Timely disclosure by the recipient of the expenditure in question, though, mitigates the potential harm to the public from the delay in reporting by the Committee.</p><p>Based on our findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, any violation that may have occurred was minor and has been cured. After consideration of the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purposes of this chapter. Under WAC 390-37-060, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.755">RCW 42.17A.755(1)</a>.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, the Committee is receiving a formal written warning concerning the Committee’s failure to timely disclose of all expenditures.

The complaint alleged a violation of: RCW 42.17A.555 for use of public facilities or resources for the purpose of supporting or opposing a candidate or ballot measure.<br> </p><p>Applicable Laws and Rules<br>RCW 42.17A.555 prohibits elected or appointed officials, their employees, and employees of a public office or agency from using, or authorizing the use of, public office/agency facilities (resources), directly or indirectly, for the purpose of assisting an election campaign or for the promotion of, or opposition to, any ballot proposition. RCW 42.17A.555(2) makes an exception when an elected official makes a statement in support of or in opposition to a ballot proposition in response to a specific inquiry.<br> </p><p>Background and Findings<br>• Ms. Senescu holds office as an elected Council Member of the City of Camas, for the 3rd Ward, Position 1.<br>• Proposition 1, titled Creation of Camas-Washougal Regional Fire Protection Service Authority, was voted on by the City of Camas Council and placed on the ballot for the special election held on April 22, 2025. Voters did not pass Proposition 1.<br>• Council Member Senescu and other members of the City of Camas Council held a town hall meeting on March 25, 2025, at the Camas Library. In their response, Council Member Senescu indicated the intent of the meeting was to offer an opportunity for dialogue between the people and their elected officials. There was no formal agenda for the meeting, but a poll was taken that informed the topics discussed. One of the topics intended for discussion was Proposition 1.<br>• During the discussion at the town hall about Proposition 1, Council Member Senescu confirmed her vote to put the proposition on the ballot for voters to decide, and she also stated that she, “as a citizen, was not in favor” of the Regional Fire Protection Service Authority (RFA).<br>• In response to the complaint Council Member Senescu stated:<br>“I hope that my impact was to inform people that the RFA is a separate taxing entity and share facts. The Fire Chief and another councilmember in attendance did a good job of pointing out the pros of an RFA, but no cons were presented. My comments were less than 30 seconds in length. I was there to listen to people and provide information.”<br>• The town hall meeting was not recorded so PDC staff inquired of other persons in attendance at the town hall and they confirmed your statements during the meeting. As well, these people also indicated their understanding of the situation to include their belief that you and other members of the council were asked to share your opinion about the RFA. PDC staff learned that other members of the council also made statements about the RFA during this discussion.<br>• Council Member Senescu does not have similar previous warnings or violations of PDC requirements.<br> </p><p>Summary and Resolution<br>The available evidence, and that it is a permissible activity for an elected official to respond to a direct inquiry, does not support a finding that Council Member Senescu violated RCW 42.17A.555 in this instance.<br>PDC staff is reminding Council Member Senescu about the prohibition on the use of public facilities to support or oppose any ballot proposition. The town hall format is considered a more casual environment for dialogue between elected officials and the public but as an elected official there is no time when said elected official would be considered a citizen participant at the meeting. While the tone of conversation may be casual, an elected official still speaks with the gravity and authority of their office.<br> </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1705640.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "170564 Jennifer Senescu Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7679/170564%20Jennifer%20Senescu%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "170564 Jennifer Senescu Dismissal Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7679/170564%20Jennifer%20Senescu%20Dismissal%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Reminder"}, {"file_name" : "170564 Jennifer Senescu Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7679/170564%20Jennifer%20Senescu%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "170564 Jennifer Senescu Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]07/14/2025 12:02:24 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

Most of the 2024 Receipts & Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports </div><div>were submitted with substantial compliance to deadlines, although the required 21- and7-day pre-primary and pre-general reporting were not completed because the Respondent stayed on a monthly reporting schedule. Similarly, most Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reporting </div><div>in 2024 was submitted with substantial compliance to deadlines, although starting on June 3, the Respondent did not convert from monthly reporting to weekly reporting so C-3reports for June, July, August, September, October, and November were filed late, as they were still filed on a monthly schedule.</div><div>• The committee is participating in the 2025 election by contributing to candidates and up to the primary election had raised $8,900 in receipts and expended $4,403. The C-4 reports up until the primary election period were submitted with substantial compliance to deadlines, but the required </div><div>21- and 7-day pre-primary reports were not submitted because the committee incorrectly stayed on a monthly reporting schedule. The post-primary C-4 submitted on September 2, 2025, was for the month of August rather than the post-primary period of July 29 to August 31. The following C-3 reports were submitted late:</div><div>o Four reports for the month of May were submitted 1 month late on July 10, 2025.</div><div>o Four reports for the month of June were submitted late when filed on July 10, 2025, rather than </div><div>weekly.</div><div>o The committee remained on a monthly reporting cycle, rather than weekly, for reports submitted in July, and four reports were late when filed on August 8, 2025.</div><div>o In August, one report due on August 18 and another due on August 29, were submitted late on September 2, 2025.</div><div>• 2024 and 2025 C-4 reports were amended on August 11, 2025, to add the address for vendors QuickBooks and Diane Jensen, Bookkeeping.</div><div>• The committee does not have previous warnings or violations of similar PDC </div><div>requirements.</div><div><br></div><div>Summary and Resolution</div><div>Based on our findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, any violation that may have occurred was minor and has been cured.

(EY25 JUL25)RCW 29B.30.050/42.17A.320, RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<div>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) completed its review of the complaint filed by Conner Edwards on July 16, 2025. The complaint alleged violations of: (1) RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately submit reports disclosing subvendor and expenditure details as required; and (2) RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to include complete sponsor identification on political advertisement.</div><div><br></div><div><div>The Respondent is a first-time candidate. It appears that the lack of description detail and subvendor information for in-kind contributions made by the Campaign Treasurer, and the incomplete sponsor identification on the campaign’s political advertisements, were due to the lack of knowledge and experience of the candidate and treasurer. Staff found no evidence that the details about in-kind contributions made or the identity of the sponsor of political advertisement was done purposely to conceal this information from the public.</div><div><br></div><div>Based on our findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, any violation that may have occurred was minor and has been cured. After consideration of the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purpose of the Fair Campaign Practices Act. Under WAC 390-37- 060, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted.</div><div><br></div><div>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Jonathan Babcock is receiving a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately disclose details regarding contributions and expenditures, and failure to include complete sponsor ID on political advertisement. The formal written warning includes staff’s expectation that the Respondent timely and accurately file all future required reports of contributions and expenditures, and ensures future political advertisements include any required sponsor ID. The Commission will consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</div><div><br></div><div>Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</div></div>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1761800.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "176180 Jonathan Babcock Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8210/176180%20Jonathan%20Babcock%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "176180 Jonathan Babcock Resolution.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8210/176180%20Jonathan%20Babcock%20Resolution.pdf", "description" : "176180 Jonathan Babcock Resolution", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "176180 Jonathan Babcock Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8210/176180%20Jonathan%20Babcock%20Response.pdf", "description" : "176180 Jonathan Babcock Response", "document_type" : ""}]10/14/2025 10:34:02 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The due dates for these reports are based upon the election cycle, the candidate's election participation, and their financial activity. </p><p>Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.240(7), expenditures are disclosed on C-4 reports, which must include, but are not limited to: 1) the name and address of each person to whom an expenditure was made in the aggregate of more than $750 during the period covered by the report; 2) the amount, date, and purpose of each expenditure; and 3) the total sum of all expenditures. Purpose details should state the goods or services provided by the vendor, including the number of items purchased, identify any candidates or ballot propositions supported or opposed by the expenditure, and the name & address of any sub-vendors used. For advertising expenditures, campaigns should describe the type and number of ads, where they appeared or were broadcast, and when (e.g. run dates). An in-kind contribution is disclosed like an expenditure on the PDC’s Online Reporting of Campaign Activity (ORCA) software. </p><p><br><strong>Background and Findings</strong></p><ul><li>The Respondent filed a Candidate Registration (C-1) on April 26, 2025, for the option of Whitman County Commissioner, Position 3.</li><li>Upon review, staff found that the four C-3 reports outlined in the complaint were filed more than 21-days past the due date but more than 21-days before the primary. The contributions reported totaled $3,290 and were comprised solely of personal funds. There were no other contributions reported during the period covered by the reports. The C-4 reports were filed timely. </li><li>The C-4 reports outlined in the complaint were missing the quantity for expenditures and the candidate filing fee was not reported as an in-kind contribution but was reported as a non-itemized expenditure. The reporting was amended on July 18 and August 18, 2025, to correct the issues.</li><li>The Respondent has no prior warnings or violations in 2025.</li></ul><p><strong>Summary and Resolution</strong></p><p>Having reviewed the complaint and the supporting evidence, PDC staff has determined that the Respondent appears to have violated RCW 42.17A. After consideration of all the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purposes of the Fair Campaign Practices Act. Under WAC 390-37-070, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the Commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted. </p><p>Based on this, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1) and WAC 390-37-060(1)(d). PDC staff has reminded the Respondent about the importance of timely, accurate, and thorough reporting. They are expected to comply with PDC statutes and rules in the future.

the importance of following the reporting requirements for the reporting option
selected and including sponsor identification on the candidate’s website.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The complaint alleged the
following:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>1)<span>
</span></span><span>That
the $500 deposit of the candidate's personal funds does not appear on the C-4
as a contribution or deposit. Staff suggested that Hays amend her May C-4 to
include the first part of the month when the personal funds were received.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>2)<span>
</span></span><span>That
the Schedule A entry for the purchase of yard signs does not list the quantity
of yard signs purchased. Staff informed Hays that the quantity purchased needs
to be added to the amended C-4 report.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>3)<span>
</span></span><span>That
the purchase of yard signs has been miscategorized as digital advertising. Staff
informed Hays that the amended C-4 needs to include a selection of the yard

asked Hays to include the words "Paid for by" with the sponsor's name
and mailing address and provided a link to the relevant rule for assistance.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>5)<span>
</span></span><span>That
the campaign has not reported an expenditure or receipt of an in-kind
contribution for the cost of the campaign post office box. Staff informed Hays
that if she personally paid for the post office box, she should report the cost
as an in-kind contribution from herself.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>6)<span>
</span></span><span>That
the campaign has not reported an expenditure or receipt of an in-kind
contribution from Hays for her candidate website or filing fee.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span>Background and Findings</span></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">·
Kelsi
Hays was a first-time candidate in 2025, running for Tahoma School District No.
409, Director District No. 5. Hays did not advance to the general election.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Hays
filed a candidate registration on May 14, 2025, selecting the Full Reporting
Option. Following receipt of the July 16 complaint, Hays filed an amended
candidate registration on July 24, 2025, selecting the Mini Reporting Option.</span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Hays
responded to the complaint, stating she had resolved all of the issues
identified in the complaint.</span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Concerning the six items listed in the
complaint:</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"><span>1)<span>
</span></span><span>Concerning item 1, Hays deleted the c</span><span>ontribution
and reported all expenses as in-kind contributions on an amended C-4 report.</span><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>2)<span>
</span></span><span>Concerning item 2, Hays removed the
contribution </span><span>and replaced it with an in-kind contribution.
The number of signs purchased was included in the description of the in-kind
contribution.</span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>3)<span>
</span></span><span>Concerning item 3, Hays removed the
contribution and replaced it with an in-kind contribution that included the
number of signs purchased in the description.</span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>4)<span>
</span></span><span>Concerning item 4, Hays added the
requested sponsor identification.</span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>5)<span>
</span></span><span>Concerning item 5, an in-kind
contribution for the cost of the campaign post office box has been reported.</span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><span>6)<span>
</span></span><span>Concerning item 6, Hays stated there is
no filing fee for the position she was seeking.</span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Summary and Resolution</u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kelsi Hays was a first-time candidate for
Tahoma School District No. 409, Director District No. 5 who did not advance to
the general election. Hays initially selected the Full Reporting Option but later
amended her candidate registration to the Mini Reporting Option. Hays amended her
reports to address the issues identified in the complaint and added sponsor
identification to her campaign website.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Based on these
findings, staff has determined that in this instance, initially filing incomplete
C-3 and C-4 reports before switching to the Mini Reporting Option and failing
to include sponsor identification on your website do not amount to a finding of
a violation warranting further investigation.</p></li></ul>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1758470.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "175847 Kelsi Hays Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8192/175847%20Kelsi%20Hays%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "175847 Kelsi Hays Resolution.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8192/175847%20Kelsi%20Hays%20Resolution.pdf", "description" : "175847 Kelsi Hays Resolution", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "175847 Response to Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8192/175847%20Response%20to%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]10/21/2025 05:14:18 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

(OCT 2018)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the three complaints filed by Michael Fertakis in October 2018. The three complaints alleged that David Chan, candidate for Snohomish County Public Utility District Commissioner No. 1 in 2018, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign. For your information, in order to more efficiently use PDC resources, these three complaints have been combined into one letter. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by David Chan; the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent; and the October 17, 2018 Statement of Understanding with $300 civil penalty completed by Mr. Chan and acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>The 2018 election was the first time David Chan filed as a candidate under the “Full Reporting” option and was required to file C-3 and C-4 reports using the PDC’s ORCA program disclosing campaign contribution and expenditure activities electronically. Serving as his own treasurer, Mr. Chan spent several weeks working with PDC Filer Assistance Staff on how to properly enter and correct information reported in ORCA, and he continued to work with staff throughout the 2018 election cycle.</p><p>In July 2018, two complaints were filed against David Chan alleging his campaign failed to timely and accurately file reports of campaign activities. On October 22, 2018, Mr. Chan completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports, and paid a $300 civil penalty, resolving similar allegations in PDC Cases 42329, 42397 and 42940.</p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely file a small number of C-3 and C-4 reports late disclosing details of a mailed political advertisement, does not amount to an actual violation warranting further investigation or additional enforcement action. Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), David Chan will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately disclosure of all contribution and expenditures. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that David Chan timely files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures, including all required vendor information during the accelerated reporting periods prior to and after any election in which his name appears on the ballot. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/423970.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "42397 Chan David Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1952/42397%20Chan%20David%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "42397 Chan David Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "42329 & 42397 & 42940 Chan David Formal Written Warning Ltr_0.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1952/42329%20%26%2042397%20%26%2042940%20Chan%20David%20Formal%20Written%20Warning%20Ltr_0.pdf", "description" : "42329 & 42397 & 42940 Chan David Formal Written Warning Ltr_0.pdf", "document_type" : "Warning"}]07/01/2019 03:03:43 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaints alleged violations of: RCW 42.17A.205, .220, .235 and .240, and .320 for failure to identify the committee sponsor in 2025, failure to deposit contributions within five business days of receipt in 2025, failure to timely and accurately report contributions and expenditures in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, and failure to provide sponsor identification on political advertising in 2025.</div><div><br></div><div>Applicable Laws and Rules</div><div><br></div><div>RCW 42.17A.205 requires every political committee to register with the PDC by filing a Committee Registration (C-1pc report) within two weeks of organization or the date it first has the expectation of receiving contributions or making expenditures in any election campaign, whichever is earlier. Among other things, a committee is required to report the name and contact information for all related or affiliated committees and the nature of the relationship or affiliation. If a committee is sponsored pursuant to WAC 390-16-011A, the sponsor’s name shall be included in the name of the sponsored committee on the C-1pc report. </div><div><br></div><div>Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.205 and WAC 390-16-011A, a committee, organized to support or oppose a particular candidate or ballot measure, is considered sponsored if at the time a statement of organization is submitted, eighty percent or more of contributions received in the previous twelve months are from a person or the person’s members, officers, employees or shareholders. Also, a political committee must amend its C-1pc sixty days before an election, in which it participates, if the committee has received eighty percent or more of its contributions from a person or from the person's members, officers, employees, or shareholders. </div><div><br></div><div>Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.220, all monetary contributions received by a candidate or political committee shall be deposited by candidates, political committee members, paid staff, or treasurers in a depository in an account established and designated for that purpose. Such deposits shall be made within five business days of receipt of the contribution. For online or credit card contributions, the contribution is considered received at the time the transfer is made from the merchant account to a candidate or political committee account, except that a contribution made to a candidate who is a state official or legislator outside the restriction period established in RCW 42.17A.560, but transferred to the candidate's account within the restricted period, is considered received outside of the restriction period.</div><div><br></div><div>Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.235(3)(a), each treasurer of a candidate or political committee is required to file a report on the tenth day of each month during which they are not participating in an election campaign only if the committee 1) received a contribution or made an expenditure in the preceding calendar month; and 2) either total contributions received or total expenditures made since the last such report exceed $750.</div><div><br></div><div>Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.240(2), monetary contributions are disclosed on Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports, which must include, but are not limited to: 1) the name and address of each person who contributed more than $100 during the period covered by the report; 2) the monetary value and date of each contribution , except for the items specifically mentioned in subsection (2)(a) through (g); and 3) the aggregate value of all contributions received from each person during the campaign. “Contribution,” as defined, includes an in-kind contribution, which is disclosed on a Receipts & Expenditure Summary (C-4) report.</div><div><br></div><div>Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.320, all written political advertising must include the name and address of the sponsor. Sponsor identification should appear on the first page or fold of the political advertising, in at least ten-point type, and be set apart from any other printed matter. WAC 390-18-010 indicates that all advertising must clearly state that it has been paid for by the sponsor. Political advertising undertaken as an independent expenditure or an electioneering communication by a person other than a bona fide political party must also include the statement “No candidate authorized this ad. It is paid for by (name, address, city, state).” Additional disclosures may be required, depending on the sponsor and type of advertising used. </div><div><br></div><div>Background and Findings</div><div><br></div><div>•<span> </span>The committee submitted a C-1pc on June 4, 2025, under the Full Reporting option. The committee was organized in support of a Shoreline School District 412 ballot measure on the ballot in the 2025 primary election.</div><div><br></div><div>•<span> </span>To the allegation of a violation of RCW 42.17A.205 in 2025, a committee is required to determine sponsorship only at the time they initially file a registration and 60 days before an election. If, at the time of registration, the Committee has previously received 80% of contributions from a sole source within 12 months of a recent registration, they have triggered the requirement to include the sponsor’s name in the committee’s name. In this instance, the committee submitted a C-1pc registering as a single election committee on June 4, 2025. The last time an entity calling itself Citizens for Shoreline Schools registered was in 2022. This committee also registered as a single election committee, so even though Citizens for Shoreline schools behaves as a quasi-continuing committee, it is technically not, and counting the 2022 committee’s contributions toward the 2025 committee’s requirement for sponsorship would not be appropriate. Also, if a committee has received 80% of contributions from a sole source 60 days before an election, this also triggers the requirement to include the sponsor’s name in the committee’s name. Since the committee in 2022 is more than 12 months prior to the current registration, the 2022 contributions do not need to be considered when determining sponsorship. The allegation is dismissed.</div><div><br></div><div>•<span> </span>For the allegation of a violation of RCW 42.17A.220 in 2025, after review of the case materials PDC staff have determined the Respondent reported the date on the contribution checks rather than the date the contributions were received. The Respondent has corrected the reporting and there is no compliance issue related to the period between when the contributions were received and deposited. The allegation is dismissed.</div><div><br></div><div>•<span> </span>For the allegation of missing expenditure data and vendor address per RCW 42.17A.240 and WAC 390-16-037, C-4 report 110077120, submitted on March 13, 2022, was missing the vendor address, quantity and run dates for robocalls. On September 10, 2025, the Respondent amended the report to include the vendor address and run dates but could not provide the quantity of calls because they no longer have that data. You are hereby reminded, per RCW 42.17A.235(8), that books of account and financial records are to be kept for not less than five calendar years.</div><div><br></div><div>•<span> </span>For the allegation of a violation of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, for missing reporting in 2023 and 2024, the Respondent has indicated that Citizens for Shoreline Schools did not run any campaigns during this period. The allegation is dismissed.</div><div><br></div><div>•<span> </span>For the 2025 reporting, PDC staff found the following:</div><div>o<span> </span>C-3 report 110301925, reporting $1,250 in funds deposited was submitted one week late but before the election.</div><div>o<span> </span>The 21-day pre-primary C-4 report, 1108302785, was initially submitted timely, on July 15, 2025, but then amended on July 29, 2025, reporting a previously undisclosed expenditure for $2,000 in postage. The amendment occurred before the election.</div><div>o<span> </span>The 7-day pre-primary report, 110302786, was submitted timely but did not include the quantity of postcards purchased. The report was amended to include the quantity on September 7, 2025, after the election.</div><div>o<span> </span>The Complainant alleged missing reporting for an expenditure on yard signs. The post-primary C-4 report, 1103115115, was submitted timely and included an expenditure to the committee Treasurer as reimbursement for yard signs purchased from Capitol City Press. The purchase date for the yard signs of July 29, 2025, was the same date as the reimbursement date. The expenditure was reported timely and before the election.</div><div>o<span> </span>The Respondent repurposed yard signs from the 2010 election year, for a different ballot measure, and failed to report the in-kind contribution to the 2025 committee. C-4 report, 110316525, submitted on September 26, 2025, identified two hundred yard-signs’ reuse. This disclosure was after the election.</div><div><br></div><div>•<span> </span>PDC staff found the reused yard signs did not include complete sponsor identification, and the issue was not remedied prior to the 2025 primary election. The Respondent also used newly purchased yard signs in the 2025 primary election, and those signs were compliant with sponsor identification. The old signs have been retired and will not be reused.</div><div><br></div><div>•<span> </span>The Respondent does not have previous warnings or violations of similar PDC requirements.</div><div><br></div><div>Summary and Resolution</div><div><br></div><div>Based on our findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, any violation that may have occurred was minor and has been cured. After consideration of the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purposes of this chapter. Under WAC 390-37-060, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted. The evidence does not support the finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</div><div><br></div><div>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, the Respondent received a formal written warning concerning failure to timely disclose all contributions and expenditures and required expenditure details, failure to maintain records for a minimum of five years, and failure to provide sponsor identification on political advertising. The formal written warning includes staff’s expectation that you comply with all applicable laws and rules in the future. The Commission will consider a formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</div><div><br></div><div>Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</div><div><br></div>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1767870.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "176787 Citizens for Shoreline Schools Complaint (2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8242/176787%20Citizens%20for%20Shoreline%20Schools%20Complaint%20%282%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "176787 Citizens for Shoreline Schools Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8242/176787%20Citizens%20for%20Shoreline%20Schools%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "176787 Citizens for Shoreline Schools Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8242/176787%20Citizens%20for%20Shoreline%20Schools%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "176787 Citizens for Shoreline Schools Resolution.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8242/176787%20Citizens%20for%20Shoreline%20Schools%20Resolution.pdf", "description" : "176787 Citizens for Shoreline Schools Resolution", "document_type" : "Warning"}]10/14/2025 09:25:26 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Purpose details should state the goods or services provided by the vendor, including the number of items purchased, identify any candidates or ballot propositions supported or opposed by the expenditure, and the name & address of any sub-vendors used. For advertising expenditures, campaigns should describe the type and number of ads, where they appeared or were broadcast, and when (e.g. run dates). An in-kind contribution is disclosed like an expenditure on the PDC’s Online Reporting of Campaign Activity (ORCA) software.<br> </p><p>Background and Findings<br>• In 2021 you ran for Mayor of the City of Lynnwood and lost in the primary. You were at the time of the 2021 election an elected City Council Member for the City of Lynnwood. In 2023 you were the incumbent for your seat on the City of Lynnwood Council and won that election for which you are in the second year of your term. In 2025 you are a candidate for Mayor of the<br>City of Lynnwood. You filed a Candidate Registration (C-1) on February 25, 2025, for the Full Reporting option. In the prior elections you were also registered for the Full Reporting option. • Upon review of the reporting record and from further follow-up with you, PDC staff determined that on the last C-4, filed timely in 2021, you reported a loan that you made to your campaign and that there was a $241.38 Cash On Hand (COH) balance. You explained that at the end of the 2021 campaign you withdrew $241.38 from the campaign bank account as repayment for the loan but did not amend the C-4 reflecting the partial repayment of the loan balance. Upon being notified of the complaint, you worked with PDC staff to amend the report reflecting the payment to yourself which zeroed out the 2021 COH.<br>• In that the 2021 and 2025 committees are for the same purpose, election to the office of Mayor of the City of Lynwood, and that you have used the same bank account for each of these campaigns, the amended COH balance of $0 was accurately and timely reported as the starting balance of the 2025 campaign.<br>• The complaint also alleged a lack of expenditure description for 2025 expenditures submitted on May 14, 2025, for the period of April 1, 2025, to April 30, 2025. Upon being notified of the complaint on June 2, 2025, you amended the reporting on June 12, 2025. The report now reflects the missing quantities of 100 post cards and 1000 flyers.<br>• You have no prior warnings or violations within the PDC’s statute of limitations.<br> </p><p>Summary and Resolution<br>You made minor or ministerial errors on required reports which did not materially harm the public interest. You made the necessary technical corrections within 2-14 days of being notified by PDC staff.<br>After consideration of all the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purposes of the Fair Campaign Practices Act. Under WAC 390-37-070, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the Commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted. The executive director must report at each regular Commission meeting all complaints dismissed.<br> </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1735110.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "173511 George Hurst Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7979/173511%20George%20Hurst%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "173511 George Hurst Resolution.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7979/173511%20George%20Hurst%20Resolution.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Technical correction"}, {"file_name" : "173511 George Hurst Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7979/173511%20George%20Hurst%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]07/30/2025 06:23:42 PMPDC staff resolved case after correction of minor or ministerial error.

The complaint alleged violations of: (1) RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to timely and accurately disclose contributions and expenditures; and (2) RCW 42.17A.320 by failing to include complete sponsor identification on political advertisement.</div><div><br></div><div><div>The Respondent has run for office once before but has not served in an elected or appointed position. Although the Respondent failed to timely file campaign reports, failed to include the number of items purchased and the complete address for campaign donors, the reports included limited campaign activity, and the late reports were filed prior to the primary election date. It appears that the late and inaccurate disclosure of the Respondent’s campaign activity was due to inexperience and lack of knowledge of PDC laws and rules regarding the campaign’s reporting requirements.</div><div><br></div><div>Regarding the insufficient sponsor identification on the Respondent’s campaign website, PDC staff found that the website included some information as to the identity of the sponsor so a member of the public could reasonably ascertain the name of the sponsor. PDC staff found no evidence that the late or incomplete reporting and incomplete sponsor ID was done purposely to conceal information from the public.</div><div><br></div><div>Based on our findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, any violation that may have occurred was minor and has been cured. After consideration of the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purpose of this chapter. Under WAC 390-37-060, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted.</div><div><br></div><div>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, the Respondent is receiving a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately disclose all contribution and expenditures.

The complaint alleged a violation of RCW 42.17A.250 for failure to timely and accurately report as an out-of-state political committee. </p><p>Applicable Laws & Rules</p><p> RCW 42.17A.250 requires an out-of-state political committee organized for the purpose of supporting or opposing candidates or ballot propositions in another state that is not otherwise required to report under RCW 42.17.205 through .240 when it makes an expenditure supporting or opposing a Washington state candidate or political committee.</p><ul><li>RCW 42.17A.235 describes the required filing deadlines for disclosure of campaign finance activities including monetary contributions.</li><li>RCW 42.17A.240 describes the required contents of campaign finance reports filed with the Public Disclosure Commission.</li></ul><p>Background & Findings <br>The complaint alleged that IFA-PAC (“The Committee”), an out-of-state political committee affiliated with the National Association of Insurance Agents and Financial Advisors (NAIFA), is required to report when it makes a contribution or other expenditure of more than $50 to or on behalf of a Washington state candidate or political committee. Specifically, the complainant included a link to a C-3 report disclosing a May 2024 contribution from IFA-PAC to Insurance & Financial Advisors Political Action Committee of Washington (Washington IFAPAC). </p><ul><li>In February 2025, the PDC staff met with the representatives of The Committee to better understand the structure and operations of The Committee to determine if its operations/structure meets the definition of an out-of-state political committee as delineated in RCW 42.17A.250. </li><li>PDC staff concluded that The Committee could meet the definition of an in-state political committee, based on it receiving contributions to support or oppose candidates in Washington state. Staff directed The Committee to either (1): Have the local Washington state members mail checks directly to the local Insurance & Financial Advisors Political Action Committee of Washington (Washington IFAPAC); or (2): Set up a separate in-state PAC (in Washington state) and file contribution (C-3) and expenditure (C-4) reports under the new in-state committee’s name. The staff further directed The Committee to open a new bank account, specifically for the new in-state committee, and have a treasurer for the new in-state committee deposit all contributions from Washington state contributors deposited into the bank account of the new in-state committee. The staff also directed The Committee to refund any contributions in its possession from Washington state contributors (intended to be passed on to Washington state IFA-PAC) back to the individual Washington state member contributors with instructions for how to send their contributions directly to the Washington IFAPAC, and to immediately stop acting as an intermediary or an agent for the Washington state members. </li><li>Lastly, the staff also requested the Washington state IFAPAC, which is registered and currently filing reports with the PDC, to report the names and addresses of the local Washington state individual members making contributions intended for, and passed on to the local Washington state committee, for contributions received from The Committee for the last two years (2024 – 2025), when the money was passed on to the local Washington committee without the names and addresses of the contributors. </li><li>On June 12, 2025, The Committee responded to the PDC staff, stating: “NAIFA and its PAC vendor are finalizing plans to implement a solution for Washington State. Our goal is to sign a contract for this work by the end of this month, to go live with implementation by September 15, 2025, and to resume contributions to the Washington IFAPAC in October 2025. We have been working diligently to identify and plan for a solution that meets Washington requirements, and our PAC vendor estimates that implementation of a new system will require approximately 10 weeks to design, test, and complete.” The Committee indicated it planned to have NAIFA members in Washington give directly to Washington IFAPAC.</li><li>The Committee further stated, “Until this process is fully implemented, we will remain in compliance with the Washington PDC order and not accept any contributions on behalf of the Washington IFAPAC.” Washington IFAPAC has amended its reports to disclose the contributors of funds already distributed to it, and The Committee has confirmed that no additional funds are in its possession to be refunded.</li></ul><p>Summary and Resolution</p><p>After consideration of all the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purposes of the Fair Campaign Practices Act. Under WAC 390-37-070, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the Commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted. The executive director must report at each regular Commission meeting all complaints dismissed.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.755">RCW 42.17A.755(1)</a>.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, The Committee is receiving a formal written warning concerning the failure to timely register as an in-state political committee and failure to timely and accurately report contributions from Washington state contributors. The formal written warning includes the staff’s expectation that you file timely and accurate future required reports of contributions and/or expenditures.

<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Background and Findings</u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><ul><li>Since 2017, the Electrical
Workers 46 PAC (the Committee) has operated as a continuing committee
registered with the PDC under the Full Reporting option. </li><li>The Committee participated in
the 2024 primary and general elections and in the primary
election of 2025 by contributing funds to candidate
committees. </li><li>During 2024, the Committee received $14,489.90
and expended $18,478.50. All the C-3 reports
were submitted timely. The C-4 reports
were submitted as follows: </li></ul><ol><li>January through
May reports were submitted timely on a monthly
schedule. </li><li>The Committee failed
to convert to the reporting schedule for 21-day reporting so
the report for the period of June 1 through July 15, 2024, due July
16, 2024, was not timely submitted. A report for the
month of June was submitted late on August 5, 2024, and
a report for the period of July 1 through July 15, 2024,
was also submitted late on August 8, 2024. Total late
reported expenditures were $27. </li><li>The 7-day report, due

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><ol><li><span>January through

to convert to the reporting schedule for 21-day reporting, so the
report for the period of June 1 through July 14, 2025, due July 15, 2025, was
not timely submitted. A report for the month of
June was submitted timely on July 10, 2025. A report
for the period of July 1 through July 14, 2024, was submitted late
on July 31, 2025, for expenditures totaling $7,209. All but $9
of the late reported expenditures were for contributions to

July 29, 2025, for the period July 15 through July
28, was submitted 2 days late on July 31,
2025. There were no late reported expenditures. </li><li>The post-primary report,

<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Summary and Resolution</u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Respondent completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) and paid a $600 civil penalty in
accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), for an acknowledged
third occasion of a violation of RCW 42.17A.235 and RCW 42.17A.240 for: failing
to timely submit Receipts & Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports identifying
expenditures during the 2024 election and the primary election period of 2025.
The $600 penalty assessed resolves the allegations listed in this case.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After
consideration of all the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the
purposes of the Fair Campaign Practices Act. Under WAC 390-37-070, the
executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the Commission, may
dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides
reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the
respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or
shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted. The executive director
must report at each regular Commission meeting all complaints dismissed.</p>

.240 by failing to timely and accurately report contributions and expenditures
in 2024 and 2025.</span><div><br><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Specifically, the complaint alleged the
following:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><ul><li><span>The committee’s January
2025 C-4 report was filed late and their 21-day pre-Primary C-4 report
(covering 6/1/25-7/14/25) had not been filed;</span></li><li><span><span>A reimbursed expenditure on
the Respondent’s February 2025 C-4 report did not include the name and address

based upon a discrepancy between the campaign’s starting balance for 2025 and
their ending balance for 2024; and</span></span></span></li><li><span><span><span><span>The committee’s 2024 post-Primary
C-4 report (covering 7/30-8/31) was filed late.</span></span></span></span></li></ul><div><span>Based on the <b>attached</b> findings n</span><span>oncompliance appeared to be the result of good-faith
errors or omissions. Delays in receiving financial records from the committee's bank
contributed to late reporting, which the committee has since taken steps to
remedy.</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Three late pre-election C-4 reports for 2025 were
received one day before or on the day of the election, which is an aggravating
factor because it deprived the public of information during a time-sensitive
period in the election cycle. However, these reports were also partially
mitigated by minimal or no expenditure activity and other mitigating factors
that minimized their impact on the public. The committee’s total expenditures
for 2025 were relatively modest overall, which is also mitigating.</span></p>
<p>However, pursuant to <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-37-060">WAC
390-37-060(1)(d)</a>, the Respondent received a formal written warning concerning their failure to timely disclose
all contributions and expenditures on C-3 and C-4 reports in 2024 and 2025. PDC
staff expect the committee to timely and accurately file all required of contributions
and expenditures in the future. The Commission will consider this formal
written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future
violations of PDC laws or rules.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The Respondent also made a minor or ministerial error on a required
C-4 report, which did not materially harm the public interest. They made the
necessary technical correction to amend the committee’s carryforward starting
balance for 2025 to match their ending balance for 2024 within 2-14 days of
being notified by PDC staff, as required for a matter resolved as a technical
correction. See WAC </span><a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-37-060"><span>390-37-060</span></a><span>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>PDC staff reminded the committee about the importance of
including complete expenditure description details on C-4 reports, including
vendor name and address, in accordance with the PDC laws, rules or

The due dates for these reports are based upon the election cycle, the candidate's election participation, and their financial activity. </p><p>Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.240(7), expenditures are disclosed on C-4 reports, which must include, but are not limited to: 1) the name and address of each person to whom an expenditure was made in the aggregate of more than $750 during the period covered by the report; 2) the amount, date, and purpose of each expenditure; and 3) the total sum of all expenditures. Purpose details should state the goods or services provided by the vendor, including the number of items purchased, identify any candidates or ballot propositions supported or opposed by the expenditure, and the name & address of any sub-vendors used. For advertising expenditures, campaigns should describe the type and number of ads, where they appeared or were broadcast, and when (e.g. run dates). An in-kind contribution is disclosed like an expenditure on the PDC’s Online Reporting of Campaign Activity (ORCA) software.</p><p>Per RCW 42.17A.320, all written political advertising, whether relating to candidates or ballot propositions, shall include the sponsor's name and address. The use of an assumed name for the sponsor of electioneering communications, independent expenditures, or political advertising shall be unlawful. For partisan office, if a candidate has expressed a party or independent preference on the declaration of candidacy, that party or independent designation shall be clearly identified in electioneering communications, independent expenditures, or political advertising.<br><br>RCW 42.17A.320 and WAC390-18-010, 020, 030, and 040 further outline requirements for sponsor identification on political advertising.<br> <br>Background and Findings<br> </p><ul><li>The Respondent is the incumbent candidate for Mayor of the City of Bremerton. On May 13, 2024, a Candidate Registration (C-1) was filed under the Full Reporting option.</li><li>The Respondent's campaign yard signs are repurposed from the 2021 Mayoral race. Because the signs are for the same office sought just in a different election, there are no reporting requirements but the committee has reported the repurposing of the signs as an in-kind contribution on C-4 report #110308342.</li><li>The campaign yard signs did lack sponsor identification prior to the complaint being filed. Following the primary election the committee took the yard signs down and will add sponsor identification before those signs are re-deployed.</li><li>Subvendor and quantity reporting was amended on August 19, 2025.</li><li>The Respondent does not have any warnings or been found in violation of PDC requirements in 2025.<br> </li></ul><p>Summary and Resolution</p><p>Having reviewed the complaint and the supporting evidence, PDC staff has determined that the Respondent does appear to have violated RCW 42.17A. After consideration of all the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purposes of the Fair Campaign Practices Act. Under WAC 390-37-070, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the Commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted. </p><p> Based on this, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1) and WAC 390-37-060(1)(d). PDC staff is reminding you about the importance of providing complete sponsor identification on political advertising and to file timely and accurate reports. You are expected to comply with PDC statutes and rules in the future.</p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1770960.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "177096 Greg Wheeler Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8259/177096%20Greg%20Wheeler%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "177096 Greg Wheeler Complaint(2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8259/177096%20Greg%20Wheeler%20Complaint%282%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "177096 Greg Wheeler Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8259/177096%20Greg%20Wheeler%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/20/2025 08:55:10 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The complaint alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file contribution and expenditure reports in the 2022 and 2024 election years and RCW 42.17A.205 for failure to update the Committee Registration (C1-pc) to include the sponsor’s name in the committee’s name. </p><p>Applicable Laws and Rules</p><p> <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.235">RCW 42.17A.235(2)</a> states that each treasurer of a candidate or political committee, or an incidental committee, is required to file a statement of organization under this chapter, and shall file with the commission a report, for each election in which a candidate, political committee, or incidental committee is participating, containing the information required by RCW 42.17A.240 on the twenty-first day and the seventh day immediately preceding the date on which the election is held. </p><ul><li><a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.235">RCW 42.17A.240</a> requires each treasurer of a candidate or political committee, or an incidental committee, to file with the commission a report including/depicting the name and address of each person who has made one or more contributions during the period, together with the money value and date of contribution and the aggregate value of all contributions received from each person during the campaign, or in the case of a continuing political committee, the current calendar year. </li><li><a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.205">RCW 42.17A.205(4):</a> states that any material change in information previously submitted in a statement of organization shall be reported to the commission within ten days following the change. </li></ul><p>Background and Findings</p><p> The complaint alleged that Citizens ‘Vote Yes for Our RFA’ (“The Committee”), a committee that first registered as a single-election committee for the 2022 election but then amended its registration to continuing to participate in the 2024 primary election, failed to timely and accurately file contributions and expenditure reports. It also alleged The Committee failed to update the Committee Registrations (C-1pcs) for both years. </p><ul><li>Staff reviewed the complaint and noted that The Committee filed a terminal C-4 report for the 2024 primary cycle depicting a contribution refund to IAAF Local 453. The refund expenditure was made on September 19, 2024, in the amount of $2,063.34, but the committee did not report this expenditure until April 2, 2025. This report should have been filed in October 2024. </li><li>For the 2023 election year, the staff noted that The Committee was not required to file contribution and expenditure reports because they did not participate in the 2023 election year. </li><li>The staff noted that there were some expenditures made by The Committee for which a more detailed description of the items purchased by The Committee should have been provided. For example, The Committee failed to include the number/quantity of items purchased for the July 12, 2022, expenditure in the amount of $3,602.14 for “<i>EDDM Postcards</i>.” The Committee also failed to fully describe/include the complete run dates and breakdown of political ads placed in the <i>Wenatchee World</i> for the July 12, 2022, expenditure in the amount of $1,475. </li><li>Lastly, regarding the allegation about the failure to update committee registrations (C-1pcs) to include the sponsor’s name in The Committee’s name, staff noted that since The Committee received more than eighty percent of its contributions from IAFF Local 453 for both election years 2022 and 2024, it was required to amend both of its committee registrations to include IAFF Local 453 as sponsor in the name of The Committee. </li><li>On July 25 and 28, 2025, and August 8, 2025, The Committee amended the C-4 reports at issue in this matter to provide the needed detail/description, and to correct the issues raised in the complaint. The Committee also amended the pertinent C-1pcs at issue in this matter to include IAFF Local 453 as sponsor in The Committee’s name. </li></ul><p>Summary and Resolution</p><p>Based on our findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, the failure to timely and accurately file two contribution and expenditure reports and failure to update the C-1pc does not amount to violations that warrant further investigation. </p><p>Pursuant to <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-37-060">WAC 390-37-060(1)(d)</a>, however, The Committee is receiving a formal written warning concerning the failure to timely and accurately disclose contributions and expenditures and update the C-1pc reports to include The Committee’s sponsor’s name.

The staff noted that The Committee had two weeks or 14 days from February 5, 2025, to file a C-1pc with the PDC – as such, the C-1pc was filed late by The Committee. </li><li>The Committee mistakenly filed its C-1pc for the 2024 election year, rather than the correct election year of 2025.</li><li>While the Committee accepted a contribution in excess of the required threshold for the mini reporting option, staff noted that except for the post-election C-4 report, The Committee did file one C-3 report and the 21-day/7-day C-4 reports required for a committee registered under the full reporting option. </li><li>The staff noted that one of the C-4 reports filed by The Committee lacked the proper expenditure details and/or description as required by the rule. For example, The Committee’s 21-day pre-election C-4, which was filed late on April 5, 2025, (covering March 1 – March 31, 2025), failed to include the run dates for the newspaper ad that ran in the <i>Anacortes American Newspaper</i>, for a March 28, 2025, expenditure paid to <i>goskagit.com</i> in the amount of $643.80. Additionally, the staff also noted that the C-4 report (covering June 1, 2024 – February 28, 2025) and the C-3 report (for the $7,000 deposit on February 5, 2025), were also filed late. </li><li>On July 28, 2025, The Committee amended its 21-day pre-election C-4 report to include the required description/details associated with the ad that was run in the <i>Anacortes American Newspaper</i> for the March 28, 2025, expenditure. The Committee also filed the missing post-election C-4 report on July 25, 2025. </li><li>Lastly, regarding the C-1pc mistakenly filed by The Committee for 2024 instead of the correct election year of 2025, the PDC staff worked with the agency’s information technology department to move The Committee’s registration (C-1pc) to the correct election year.</li></ul><p>Summary and Resolution</p><p>It appears that the failure to timely and accurately file the three reports filed by The Committee was a result of an oversight by The Committee, while the failure to adhere/commit to receiving no more than $500 in contributions from any one source/contributor appears to be the result of a lack of understanding of the requirements regarding a committee registered under the mini reporting option. The acceptance of an overlimit contribution is partially mitigated by The Committee’s filing of additional reports with the PDC, beyond what would have been required for a committee in compliance with mini reporting requirements, reducing the impact on the public. </p><p>Based on our findings, the staff has determined that, in this instance, the failure to timely and accurately file the required contribution (C-3) and expenditure (C-4) reports and comply with the contribution limits for political committees registered under mini reporting do not amount to violations that warrant further investigation. </p><p>Pursuant to <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-37-060">WAC 390-37-060(1)(d)</a>, however, The Committee is receiving a formal written warning concerning the failure to timely and accurately file the required contribution (C-3) and expenditure (C-4) reports and the failure to seek approval from the PDC to change its registration to full reporting. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Accordingly, the PDC dismissed this matter in accordance with <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.755">RCW 42.17A.755(1)</a>.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1701540.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "170154 Vote4islandhealth Sponsored by Island Health Foundation Complaint Resolution Letter ....pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7668/170154%20Vote4islandhealth%20Sponsored%20by%20Island%20Health%20Foundation%20Complaint%20Resolution%20Letter%20....pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "170154 Vote4islandhealth Sponsored by Island Health Foundation Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7668/170154%20Vote4islandhealth%20Sponsored%20by%20Island%20Health%20Foundation%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "170154 Vote4islandhealth Sponsored by Island Health Foundation Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]08/08/2025 05:00:15 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

James Pitzer was a first-time candidate when
he ran for Pullman City Council in 2025. Pitzer did not advance to the General
Election.</p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Pitzer initially filed Candidate Registrations
on May 5 and July 15, 2025, selecting
the Mini Reporting Option. Pitzer stayed within the limits of the Mini
Reporting Option.</span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Although not required to file C-3 and C-4
reports of contributions and expenditures, Pitzer filed a C-4 report covering
the period May 15 to May 31, 2025 on July 6, 2025, which was 26 days after the
due date for a C-4 with a report end date of May 31. The report included $700
in contributions and $654.14 in expenditures.</span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Even though C-3 reports are not required for
candidates under the Mini Reporting Option, Pitzer filed C-3 reports on July 15,
reporting a $200 contribution from the candidate, two contributions totaling $500,
and two $500 contributions. Pitzer filed two additional C-4 reports on July 15,
covering the periods June 1 to July 14, 2025 and July 15 to July 28, 2025.</span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span>Background and Findings</span></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">·
Tyler Byrd was first elected to the Whatcom
County Council in 2017. He was reelected in 2021 and ran for reelection in 2025
but was defeated in the 2025 primary election.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Byrd had unspent funds at the end of his 2021
campaign totaling $19,350.31. Byrd stated he always intended to run for
reelection in 2025 and maintained his email address, websites, video databases,
and other on-going campaign subscription expenses in anticipation of running
for reelection in 2025. </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Byrd’s treasurer moved to Idaho after filing
the final report for the 2021 general election. Byrd stated he did not
understand, at that time, that because he intended to use the surplus from the
2021 campaign for his reelection campaign in 2025, he was required to file a
new candidate registration and report the on-going reelection subscription
expenses when they crossed the threshold for reporting, beginning in 2022.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>On April 13, 2025, three months before the
complaint was filed, Byrd hired Bruce Ayers of Ayers Consulting to serve as treasurer
for his 2025 campaign and to file all missing reports. Ayers brought the 2025
reporting up to date and amended 2021 reports to include additional descriptive
information for expenditures. The 2025 reporting and amendments to the 2021
reports were completed before the complaint was filed.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Byrd said he did not campaign or accept
contributions for reelection in 2025 until after all reporting was brought up
to date. </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Byrd stated he did not send broadcast emails after
the 2021 campaign and only maintained the MailChimp subscription to ensure the
data and assets were not lost and for future use in his 2025 reelection
campaign. </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Byrd also stated that the FlyWheel
subscription that includes email services is not an email broadcast service. He
said he did not use the service to send any emails.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Byrd stated that his reelection campaign
ended on August 5, 2025 when he finished third in the primary election.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Summary and Resolution</u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Tyler
Byrd was reelected to the Whatcom County Council in 2021 and finished his
campaign with a surplus. He did not initially understand that because he
intended to run for reelection 2025, he needed to file a candidate registration
and file expenditure reports when reporting thresholds were met. Byrd hired Bruce
Ayers of Ayers Consulting to file all missing reports for his 2025 campaign.

The complaint alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.640 for failure to register and report a grassroots lobbying campaign and for failure to include complete sponsor identification on grassroots lobbying materials.</p><p>It appears that the Respondent acted in good faith when using its registered lobbyist to disclose its grassroots lobbying activity. Additionally, while the mailer did not include the address of the sponsor, it clearly identified that Housing Solutions Coalition had paid for the ad. The Respondent has not been the subject of prior enforcement action.</p><p>Based on our findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, any violation that may have occurred was minor and has been cured. After consideration of the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purposes of this chapter. Under WAC 390-37- 060, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, the Respondent is receiving a formal written warning concerning failure to timely registration and accurate disclosure of a grassroots lobbying campaign, and failure to include complete sponsor identification on written advertising for a grassroots lobbying campaign. The formal written warning includes staff’s expectation that the Respondent timely register and report grassroots lobbying and include the required sponsor information on written advertisement in the future.

The complaint alleged a violation of RCW 42.17A.405 for accepting an overlimit contribution in violation of Chapter 42.17A. RCW. </p><p>Applicable Laws and Rules</p><p> <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.405">RCW 42.17A.405(2)</a> limits candidates to receiving $1,200 in contributions from any one individual or per person for each election in which the candidate’s name appears on the ballot.</p><p>Background and Findings</p><p> On April 25, 2025, your campaign filed a Candidate Registration (C-1) report and selected the Full Reporting Option. </p><ul><li>The staff noted that only two candidates registered to run for the School Director, Position 1, in Everett SD 002. As such, there was no primary, and your name did not appear on the 2025 primary ballot. </li><li>Accordingly, you were limited to one $1,200 contribution limit from any one source during the 2025 election year, which should have been attributed to the general only since there was/is no primary election for the position you are running for in 2025. However, in reviewing the C-3 reports for your 2025 campaign, you disclosed receiving $2,400 in total contributions from Nicole Pennington on April 22, 2025, and attributed half of it ($1,200) to the 2025 primary election. <a href="#_msocom_1">[BK1]</a> <a href="#_msocom_2">[AE2]</a> <a href="#_msocom_3">[AE3]</a> Staff noted that while it was permitted to attribute half of the contribution to the primary before the 2025 declaration week (May 5-9, 2025), it should have been refunded back to the contributor after it became apparent that there was no primary. It was not until July 3, 2025, approximately eight weeks after the May 2025 declaration week, when the campaign finally refunded the overlimit contribution. </li><li>In your response to the complaint received on June 16, 2025, you stated: “The contribution in question was received and deposited on 4/22. While no other candidates had filed for this election besides the incumbent, this was well before the deadline for candidate to file for office, and it was our belief that there was likely to be a primary. Hence, we saw no issue with accepting a maximum contribution for both the primary and general election cycles and were adhering to the regulations regarding keeping the general election contribution unspent until the general. However, when the filing deadline arrived and it became clear that there would not be a primary, we did not remember that the campaign had accepted a primary election contribution that would need to be refunded. We are in the process of refunding this contribution now, as soon as this process is complete, we will update our reports.” </li><li>On August 11, 2025, the campaign filed a C-4 report showing a $1,200 refund to Nicole Pennington for the overlimit primary contribution at issue in this matter. </li></ul><p>Summary and Resolution</p><p>It appears that the campaign was under the impression that there would be additional opponents in the primary and forgot to refund the overlimit contribution. Additionally, the campaign took responsibility by refunding the overlimit contribution and filing a report disclosing the refund. </p><p>Based on our findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, the failure to adhere to the statutory contribution limits does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. </p><p>Pursuant to <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-37-060">WAC 390-37-060(1)(d)</a>, however, your campaign is receiving a formal written warning concerning the failure to adhere to the statutory contribution limits.

The use of an assumed name for the sponsor of electioneering communications, independent expenditures, or political advertising shall be unlawful.

The due dates for these reports are based upon the election cycle, the candidate's election participation, and their financial activity. </div><div> </div><div>Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.240(7), expenditures are disclosed on C-4 reports, which must include, but are not limited to: 1) the name and address of each person to whom an expenditure was made in the aggregate of more than $750 during the period covered by the report; 2) the amount, date, and purpose of each expenditure; and 3) the total sum of all expenditures. Purpose details should state the goods or services provided by the vendor, including the number of items purchased, identify any candidates or ballot propositions supported or opposed by the expenditure, and the name & address of any sub-vendors used. For advertising expenditures, campaigns should describe the type and number of ads, where they appeared or were broadcast, and when (e.g. run dates). An in-kind contribution is disclosed like an expenditure on the PDC’s Online Reporting of Campaign Activity (ORCA) software.</div><div><br></div><div>Background and Findings</div><div><ul><li>The Respondent is a candidate in the 2025 election for the Whatcom County Council and registered under the Full Reporting option.</li><li>In their response to the first complaint, specific to the campaign signs, the Respondent stated:</li></ul></div><blockquote>"When I installed the repurposed signs including the one that is the subject of the complaint, I used a permanent marker and wrote on the sign “Paid for by Elect Misty Flowers” on the sign. I measured my largest font and made sure my permanent marker Paid For: was larger than 10% of my largest font on the sign. <br> <br>“Paid For by Elect Misty Flowers” is on the sign in the picture, lower right corner, included with the subject complaint. But it is not apparent due to the angle of the complaint picture. However, I note that I did not add the required campaign address to that sign. Upon receipt of the complaint, I immediately added the address to the Paid For: and will continue to ensure that all repurposed and new large campaign signs and yard signs have the required ID and are compliant.</blockquote><div><ul><li>In response to the second complaint, specific to 2021 and 2025 reporting, the Respondent took the following actions, 7 days after being notified of the complaint on August 22, 2025, to address the allegations: The carry forward issue came from the 2021 reporting and is related to a loan repayment of $30 and repayment of lost wages totaling $223.76, the reporting was amended on 8/22/25 resulting in a $0 balance for the campaign. The loan repayment and repayment of lost wages were noted in the 2021 reporting but ultimately not reported correctly resulting in an erroneous Cash on Hand balance at the end of the campaign. The amendment corrected the Cash on Hand balance to reflect $0 which correctly corresponds to the opening balance of the 2025 campaign, as reported. All 2025 reporting was originally filed timely. As explained in your response, a couple of C-4 and a C-3 report were amended to correct activity timely reported but reported incorrectly. The aggregate activity was for $269.85.</li><li>The second complaint also notes the contribution page of the Respondent's campaign website does not have complete sponsor identification. Upon review, staff determined the landing page of the campaign website does have complete sponsor ID. Because the contribution page is accessed through the landing page of the campaign website, sponsor identification is not required on the contribution page.</li><li>The Respondent does not have any warnings or violations of PDC requirements in 2025.</li></ul></div><div>Summary and Resolution</div><div>Having reviewed the complaint and the supporting evidence, PDC staff has determined that the Respondent appears to have violated RCW 42.17A. After consideration of all the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purposes of the Fair Campaign Practices Act. Under WAC 390-37-070, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the Commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted. </div><div> </div><div>Based on this, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1) and WAC 390-37-060(1)(d). PDC staff reminded the Respondent about the importance of providing complete sponsor identification on political advertising and filing accurate reports.

769917127604/02/202504/02/202508/18/2025Michael Geer-WagenblastMatt Kempton - CEO Willapa Harbor HospitalPacific Hospital District 2: Alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.555 for use of public facilities or resources for the purpose of supporting or opposing a ballot measure (CY25 APR25)RCW 29B.45.010/42.17A.555Case Closed with Written WarningPolitical Committee - Local Issue<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) completed its review of the complaint filed by Michael Geer-Wagenblast on April 2, 2025. The complaint alleged violation(s) of RCW 42.17A.555 for use of public facilities or resources to support or oppose a ballot measure/proposition. </p><p>Applicable Laws and Rules</p><p> <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.555">RCW 42.17A.555</a> prohibits elected or appointed officials, their employees, and employees of a public office or agency from using, or authorizing the use of, public office/agency facilities (resources), directly or indirectly, for the purpose of assisting an election campaign or for the promotion of, or opposition to, any ballot proposition. </p><p><a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-05-271">WAC 390-05-271</a> states that .555 does not restrict the right of individuals to express their own personal views concerning supporting or opposing any candidate or ballot proposition, provided that such expression does not involve the use of public office or agency facilities. The rule also says that .555 does not prevent a public officer or agency from 1) making facilities available on a nondiscriminatory, equal access basis for political uses; or 2) making an objective and fair presentation of facts relevant to a ballot proposition (commonly referred to as a “Fact Sheet”) provided such action is part of the office or agency’s normal and regular conduct. </p><p>Background and Findings</p><p> Pacific District Hospital 2 (Willapa Harbor Hospital) is a public district hospital located in South Bend, Washington. It placed a bond measure on the ballot for the February 2024 and April 2025 elections to build a new hospital. Both measures failed.</p><p> In <a href="https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/guidelines-restrictions/guidelines-local-government-agencies-election-campaigns">PDC Interpretation No. 04-02</a>, <i>Guidelines for Local Government Agencies in Election Campaigns</i>, the Commission held that “it is not only the right, but the responsibility of local government to inform the general public of the operational and maintenance issues facing local agencies.” Accordingly, the Interpretation states that “[t]he PDC will presume that every agency may distribute throughout its jurisdiction an objective and fair presentation of the facts for each ballot measure,” typically a jurisdiction-wide “fact sheet” mailing. Such a presentation must accurately portray the cost and other anticipated impacts of a ballot proposition and must not promote or oppose the proposition in the tenor or tone of the language used. An “objective and fair presentation of the facts” concerning a property tax levy may include an explanation, in neutral, factual terms, of the outcome anticipated if the proposition is rejected by voters.</p><p>In addition, an “objective and fair presentation of the facts” must avoid the following:</p><ul><li>Overtly promotional or oppositional content (including inflammatory or emotionally driven language; check marks and other indications of support; and gratuitous photos that tend to provoke an emotional reaction—e.g. an image of a body on an EMT stretcher, or a house exploding in flames);</li><li>Statements that speculate about possible secondary or tertiary impacts of a ballot proposition;</li><li>Statements seeking to minimize the cost of a ballot proposition, e.g., through comparisons to small-ticket items such as coffee, pizza, or a magazine subscription;</li><li>Statements purporting to describe the sponsoring agency’s responsible fiscal management;</li><li>Detailed information about property tax exemptions; and</li><li>Detailed information about the conduct of elections (e.g. ballot drop-off locations), unless it is the normal and regular conduct of the agency to provide such information in the manner of the proposed publication. </li></ul><p>Finally, if an agency wishes to go beyond a single jurisdiction-wide mailed “fact sheet,” for example, to make multiple election-related communications or communications in multiple formats, the agency must be able to demonstrate the additional communications are a part of the agency’s normal and regular conduct. In other words, that the method, format, and frequency is typical of how the agency routinely communicates with its audience. </p><ul><li>In the response to the complaint, received on May 2, 2025, by way of CEO Matthew Kempton, the respondent stated: “upon reviewing the complaint by Michael Geer-Wagenblast, nowhere within the communications reference do they ask for a supporting vote from the public. All communications referenced within this complaint are strictly educational in nature.”</li><li>PDC staff reviewed the evidence provided in this matter and found the language used in some of the Facebook posts in the months of January – April 2025 to be promotional and include indications of support by way of emotional appeals. </li><li>For example, in one of the Facebook videos titled “Our Physicians Speak Out,” a doctor states that the new hospital “would be life changing.” Another features staff members pitching the new hospital as a community service, saying it is a chance for community members to be “giving back” to their families and other locals, and that it “would be great for our kids and our grandkids.” A video tagged with “#newwillapaharborhospital” features a staff member describing how he may not be alive if the hospital was not in the community. Another video about the proposed hospital opens with the introduction: “We must compromise privacy and dignity because the facility does not adequately support modern medical care” without a discussion of alternatives to avoid such risks if the bond did not pass.</li><li>In addition to the above, Kimberly Polanco, chief financial officer for the hospital, sent an op-ed/letter to the editors of two local newspapers (Daily World Newspaper and Chinook Observer) on February 18, 2025, using the email/facilities of Pacific County Hospital District 2. Prior to that, on January 26, 2025, Ms. Polanco sent a copy of the draft op-ed to the Hospital’s executive team for review/edits, using the email/resources belonging to Pacific County Hospital District 2. The hospital district subsequently shared the op-ed on its Facebook page.</li><li>In the op-ed, Polanco expresses her appreciation for the “many community members who are engaged with Willapa Harbor Hospital and Medical Clinic to learn about the challenges with the current healthcare facility.” She touted the benefits of a hospital and “how vital this organization is to the local economy.” The op-ed stated that the hospital is critical to attracting new residents to the area and that the hospital’s payroll helps support the community’s small businesses, “encouraging a thriving commercial environment and fostering a sense of community.”</li><li>While not a direct appeal for support of the bond, the op-ed appears to have been timed to coincide with the ballot measure. If district officials wanted to communicate the benefits of a hospital generally, they should be careful not to do it while a ballot is pending. </li></ul><p>Summary and Resolution</p><p>Some of the district's Facebook content and the op-ed written by Ms. Polanco using the facilities of the hospital are not consistent with permissible activities outlined in PDC Interpretation 04-02 – <i>Guidelines for Local Government Agencies in Election Campaigns</i>. Testimonials about medical care received at the hospital, calls to think of future generations and the discussion of potential secondary benefits are more appropriately the purview of a ballot measure committee established for the purpose of promoting the bond and funded by donors who support the effort.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Pacific Hospital District 2 officials, Chief Financial Officer Kimberly Polanco and CEO Matthew Kempton are receiving a formal written warning concerning the use of public facilities to promote a ballot proposition. This formal written warning includes the staff’s expectation that you will not in the future use public resources to influence the outcome of a ballot measure. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Accordingly, the PDC dismissed this matter in accordance with <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.755">RCW 42.17A.755(1)</a>.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1712760.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "171276 Pacific Hospital District 2 Complaint Disposition Letter....pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7699/171276%20Pacific%20Hospital%20District%202%20Complaint%20Disposition%20Letter....pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "171276 Pacific Hospital District 2 Complaint Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7699/171276%20Pacific%20Hospital%20District%202%20Complaint%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "171276 Pacific Hospital District 2 Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/7699/171276%20Pacific%20Hospital%20District%202%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/18/2025 02:34:21 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

states that a candidate or political committee that registers under the mini
reporting option must stay within the mini limit requirements. Committees
registered as such may not accept more than $500 in the aggregate from any one
source and cannot raise or spend more than $7,000. When a committee selects
mini reporting upon registration and remains under the limits for mini
reporting, the committee is not required to file C-3 and C-4 reports disclosing
contributions and expenditures.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span>Background
and Findings</span></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><span> </span></span><span>Respondent is a candidate for City Council
Member in the City of Mount Vernon. On April 22, 2025, a Candidate Registration
(C-1) was filed, selecting the Mini Reporting Option.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><br></span><span><span> </span></span><span>The complaint alleged failure to accurately
report expenditures (C-4) reports, failure to provide sponsor identification on
campaign website and exceeding mini reporting limits.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span> </span></span><span>On August 06, 2025, PDC staff sent a copy of
the complaint to Respondent. In response
the candidate explained they believed they were in compliance with mini
reporting thresholds, and the discrepancies were not meant to conceal
activities. Furthermore, the response stated that the campaign wished to change
to full reporting to provide full transparency.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Respondent submitted a written request to
switch her candidacy from mini to full reporting on August 21, 2025. Respondent
worked with PDC staff to get her campaign within the mini filing requirements
and was approved for full reporting on August 29, 2025.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span> </span></span><span>Respondent updated the campaign website to
include complete sponsor identification.</span><span> It is PDC staff’s opinion that further
sponsor identification is not required on the donate page in these
circumstances.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span> </span></span><span>Additionally, Respondent updated all
expenditure detail to include quantities of political advertising, vendor names
and addresses.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Respondent does not have previous
warnings or violations of similar PDC requirements.</span><span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span>RCW 42.17A.320</span></u><span> requires

<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span>Background and Findings</span></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">·
Jim
Kastama served in the 25<sup>th</sup> Legislative District as a State
Representative from 1996 to 2000 and in the State Senate from 2000 to 2012. He
was elected to the Puyallup City Council in 2017 and was reelected in 2021. Kastama
also serves as Mayor of Puyallup in the city’s council-Manager form of
government.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>On
Sep. 25, 2025, Jim Kastama responded to the complaint, saying his campaign
signs were designed in accordance with current regulations and included sponsor
identification reading, </span><span>“Paid for by Voters for Jim Kastama, 418
8th Ave, Puyallup, WA 98372” in 10-point font. Kastama said the sponsor
identification is readable but acknowledged that the sign printer cut off a
little too much from the bottom of some of the signs, making the sponsor
identification harder to read on those signs. Kastama said he would order a
“patch” to make the sponsor identification clearer and would apply the patch to
all signs as soon as possible.</span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>One
week later, on Oct. 2, 2025, Kastama followed up, stating he had </span><span>examined his signs and would address the issue by: (1)
leaving signs in place that clearly show proper sponsor identification, which
he said included compliant size requirements; and (2) replacing signs where
sponsor identification was cut into the letters, making them difficult to read.
Kastama said he would replace these signs with new signs that included the
required information clearly marked. Kastama said any signs removed due to
letters being cut too closely would be repaired and redeployed. </span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>When asked on Oct. 2 when the sign
corrections would be completed, Kastama said he was starting the replacements in
the evening of Oct. 2 </span><span>and
would be finished within a few days.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>The complainant also expressed concern
that the signs included an endorsement reading, “Endorsed by Puyallup Police” without
an explicit statement that the Puyallup Police Association, and not the city’s
police department, had endorsed Kastama. The complainant acknowledged, Kastama
stated, and staff confirmed, that the signs included, in the letter “E” of the
word “Police,” the abbreviation “ASSOC” to clarify that the Puyallup Police
Association, and not the city’s police department, had endorsed Jim Kastama for
Puyallup City Council. The complainant expressed concern that the reference to
the police association was not clearer.</span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Summary
and Resolution</u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The
sponsor identification was difficult to read on some of Jim Kastama’s campaign
signs because the printer inadvertently
cut too close to the sponsor identification near the bottom of the signs. Kastama
confirmed that he was correcting the signs that were too difficult to read with
a sponsor identification patch. The signs included an endorsement reading, “Endorsed by Puyallup
Police” that included the letters “ASSOC” in the “E” of the word “Police” to
indicate that the Puyallup Police Association, and not the city’s police department,

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"><span>·<span> </span></span><span>The Respondent is a long-time registered Continuing
Committee reporting under the Full Reporting option. The Political Committee
Registration (C-1pc) was amended on January 9, 2025, changing the Treasurer to
Lynn Smith.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span> </span></span><span>PDC Staff reviewed reporting for the Kitsap
Democratic Central Committee (the Committee) for the 2025 Primary Election and
determined that the Committee is participating in the election and failed to
convert from monthly reporting to the 7- and 21-day, and post-election
reporting periods.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>o<span> </span></span><span>The
Committee failed to submit Receipts & Expenditure Summary (C-4) reports for
the 7- and 21-day and post-primary election periods due July 15, July 29, and
September 10, 2025. However, the Committee did submit C-4 reports on a monthly
schedule up through August 2025.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>o<span> </span></span><span>During
the period leading up to September 10, 2025, due date for the post-primary report,
the Committee raised $23,966 and expended $27,186.47 of which $5,550 went
directly as contributions to candidates. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span><u>Summary and Resolution</u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>The Treasurer, Lynn Smith, is new to being a
Treasurer for a Bona Fide Political Party Committee and did not realize the 7-
and 21-day schedule applied to a party committee. Upon being notified of the
complaint, Ms. Smith updated the Committee’s reports and indicated, in her
responses to Staff, that she has updated the Committee’s process document to
ensure the next volunteer treasurer is aware of applicable reporting deadlines.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>Based on our findings, staff has determined
that, in this instance, any violation that may have occurred was minor and has
been cured. After consideration of the circumstances, further proceedings would
not serve the purposes of this chapter. Under WAC 390-37-060, the executive
director, at any time prior to consideration by the commission, may dismiss a
complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to
believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in
substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that
formal enforcement action is not warranted. The failure to submit the 7- and
21-day, and post-primary C-4 reports, does not amount to a finding of a
violation that warrants further investigation.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>Pursuant
to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, you are receiving a formal written warning
concerning failure to submit the
7- and 21-day, and post-primary C-4 reports. The formal written warning will include
staff’s expectation that you timely and accurately file all future required
reports of contributions and expenditures. The Commission will consider a
formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are
future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p>

Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) completed its review of the complaint filed by
Kelly Wright on September 1, 2025. The complaint alleged violation of RCW
42.17A.320</span><span>
for failure to include party preference on political advertising.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span>Applicable Laws and Rules</span></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=42.17A.320"><span>42.17A.320(1)</span></a><span> Sets forth that all written political
advertising, whether relating to candidates or ballot propositions, shall
include the sponsor's name and address. All radio and television political
advertising, whether relating to candidates or ballot propositions, shall
include the sponsor's name. The use of
an assumed name for the sponsor of electioneering communications, independent
expenditures, or political advertising shall be unlawful. For partisan office, if a candidate has
expressed a party or independent preference on the declaration of candidacy,
that party or independent designation shall be clearly identified in
electioneering communications, independent expenditures, or political
advertising.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span>Background and Findings</span></u></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Respondent
is an appointed official and candidate for State Representative of Legislative
District 33. On December 18, 2024, a Candidate Registration (C-1) was filed,
selecting the Full Reporting Option.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>The complaint alleged failure to provide
party preference for a political mailer opposing a candidate.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Respondent was sent a copy of the complaint
on September 1, 2025. The campaign asserted the mailer referenced the opponent’s
performance in their current position as mayor, a nonpartisan office.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>The
mailer stated, “Say No To Kevin Schilling” and included a positive statement
regarding Mr. Obras in his role as State Representative. It is PDC Staff’s
determination that the ad was opposing Mr. Schilling’s candidacy for State
Representative, not his position as mayor, and therefore the ad required party
preference.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Party preference must be included in any
form of advertising about a candidate seeking election to a partisan office,
regardless of who sponsors the ad.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>The Respondent does not have previous
warnings or violations of similar PDC requirements.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span>Summary
and Resolution</span></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Based
on our findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, any violation
that may have occurred was minor. After consideration of the circumstances,
further proceedings would not serve the purpose of this chapter. Under WAC
390-37-060, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the
commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by
investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but
does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however,
you are receiving a formal written warning concerning failure to provide party
preference in any form of advertising about a candidate to a partisan office,
regardless of who sponsors the ad. Staff expects that you provide party
preference on all future political advertising about candidates seeking
election to a partisan office. The Commission will consider this formal written
warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations
of PDC laws or rules.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Based
on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW
42.17A.755(1).</span></p>

The complaint alleged violations of: RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 for failure to timely & accurately report contributions & expenditures in election years 2023, 2024, and 2025; and in election year 2023 exceeding mini reporting limits as set forth in WAC 390-16-105.</div><div><br></div><div>Applicable Laws and Rules </div><div><br></div><div>A committee, under the Full Reporting option on their C-1pc report, is required to report contributions and expenditures to the PDC on C-3 reports and C-4 reports pursuant to RCW 42.17A.235 & RCW 42.17A.240. The due dates for these reports are based upon the election cycle, the committee’s election participation, and their financial activity. </div><div> </div><div>Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.235(3)(a), each treasurer of a candidate or political committee is required to file a report on the tenth day of each month during which they are not participating in an election campaign only if the committee 1) received a contribution or made an expenditure in the preceding calendar month; and 2) either total contributions received or total expenditures made since the last such report exceed $750. </div><div><br></div><div>Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.240(7), expenditures are disclosed on C-4 reports, which must include, but are not limited to: 1) the name and address of each person to whom an expenditure was made in the aggregate of more than $200 during the period covered by the report; 2) the amount, date, and purpose of each expenditure; and 3) the total sum of all expenditures. Purpose details should state the goods or services provided by the vendor, including the number of items purchased, identify any candidates or ballot propositions supported or opposed by the expenditure, and the name & address of any sub-vendors used. For advertising expenditures, campaigns should describe the type and number of ads, where they appeared or were broadcast, and when (e.g., run dates). An in-kind contribution is disclosed like an expenditure on the PDC’s Online Reporting of Campaign Activity (ORCA) software.</div><div><br></div><div>Pursuant to WAC 390-16-105, a committee that selects the Mini Reporting option on its registration must meet both of the following conditions; (a) neither aggregate contributions nor aggregate expenditures exceed the amount of the candidate’s filing fee provided by law plus a sum not to exceed $7,000; and (b) no contribution or contributions from any person other than the candidate exceed $500 in the aggregate.</div><div><br></div><div>Background and Findings</div><div><br></div><div>•<span> </span>In 2017, South County Fire was formed by the merger of Snohomish County District 1 and City of Lynwood. Mill Creek, Mountlake Terrace, and Burien are also merged into South County Fire. IAFF Local 1828, also known as South County Union Firefighters, represents active and retired firefighters, paramedics, and officers in Southwest Snohomish County.</div><div><br></div><div>•<span> </span>IAFF Local 1828 PAC (the Committee) amended the Political Committee Registration (C-1pc) on October 19, 2023. The registration identified the Committee as a Continuing Committee under the Mini Reporting option. At the start of every new year the Online Reporting of Campaign Activity (ORCA) system automatically converts mini-reporting entities to the Full Reporting option if a committee does not otherwise take action to continue under the Mini Reporting option. The Committee did not amend their C-1pc when it automatically converted at the beginning of 2024 at which time they became a full reporting entity.</div><div><br></div><div>•<span> </span>The Complainant alleged a violation in 2023 of WAC 390-16-037(1) when the Committee failed to identify who they supported or opposed when reporting the expenditure purpose for Independent Expenditures (IE). The requirement to include this information in the expenditure description on the C-4 report did not go into effect until June 24, 2024, and is not retroactively enforced. However, as required by RCW 42.17A.205, the Committee reported, on the C-1pc, the names of candidates whom the committee was supporting. This allegation is dismissed as unfounded.</div><div><br></div><div>•<span> </span>The Complainant also alleged a violation occurred in 2023 when the Committee failed to identify sponsorship of the committee. Specifically, the allegation identified a contribution of $7,499 by South County Union Firefighters. The contribution received on October 24, 2023, was timely reported on Cash Receipts, Monetary Contributions (C-3) report #110183420. Per WAC 390-16-011A, at the time a C-1pc is filed by a continuing committee, the committee must determine if the name of a sponsor should be included in the committee’s name. The Committee amended its C-1pc on October 19, 2023, and in the 12 months prior to the C-1pc being amended, the Committee had not received any contributions that would have required a sponsor being included in the Committee’s name. Also, the contribution from South County Union Firefighters was received after September 8, 2023, the sixtieth day before an election, at which time the Committee would have been required to include a sponsor in its committee name. This allegation is dismissed as unfounded.</div><div><br></div><div>•<span> </span>The Complainant alleged the Committee exceeded mini reporting limits in 2023. PDC staff reviewed the Committee’s 2023 reporting, and based on supplemental information provided by the Committee, recipients of contributions reported as given by the Committee were incorrectly identified as such by the recipients. The Committee has requested the recipients correct their reporting to reflect accurately who the contributor was. Based on this information, and confirmation by the Committee, they did not participate in the primary election. However, during the general election, the Committee participated by making Independent Expenditures supporting candidates in that election. The Committee also received a large single-source contribution that caused the Committee to exceed both the $500 individual contribution limit and the aggregate limit of $7,000 as outlined in WAC 390-16-105.</div><div>o<span> </span>On October 24, 2023, the Committee received a contribution from South County Union Firefighters in the amount of $7,499. The C-3 reporting the contribution was submitted timely on October 25, 2023. A Last Minute Contribution (LMC) report, due no later than October 26, 2023, for a single-source contribution received in the 21-day pre-general election period, was submitted December 15, 2025, after the PDC notified the Committee. This contribution caused the Committee to exceed the mini reporting threshold limits.</div><div>o<span> </span>The 7-day Receipts and Expenditure Summary (C-4) report, for the period October 17 to 31, 2023, due October 31, 2023, was submitted three days late on November 3, 2023. There were $5,516.27 in expenditures reported and $7,499 in contributions. </div><div>o<span> </span>The Post-election C-4 for the period October 31 to November 30, 2023, was due December 10, 2023, and the End of Election Cycle C-4 for the period December 1 to 31, 2023, was due January 10, 2024. Both were submitted 736 and 705 days late on December 15, 2025. The Committee reported receiving no contributions and making no expenditures during these periods.</div><div><br></div><div>•<span> </span>The Complainant alleged the Committee participated in the 2024 and 2025 elections and failed to timely report contributions and expenditures. Contributions reported as received by April Berg, Strom Peterson, and Mary Fosse in 2024 were not made by the Committee. The Committee has requested the recipients correct their reporting. The Committee has stated they did not participate in the 2024 or 2025 elections and there is no evidence to indicate otherwise. The allegation is dismissed as unfounded.</div><div><br></div><div>•<span> </span>The Committee does not have previous warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</div><div><br></div><div>Summary and Resolution</div><div><br></div><div>Regarding the error in reporting by recipients of contributions, the Committee stated, “moving forward, the Union will work to implement clear internal procedures to accurately emphasize, even more than it already does, exactly how candidates should report their contributions in the future to avoid this problem recurring. Having said that, we hope these candidates’ good-faith errors does not delay the resolution of this complaint focused on IAFF Local 1828 PAC’s reporting within its own control.”</div><div><br></div><div>You completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) and paid a $150 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging violations RCW 42.17A.235 and RCW 42.17A.240 for failure to timely and accurately report contributions and expenditures and for exceeding mini reporting limits as set forth in WAC 390-16-105 during the general election in 2023. The $150 penalty assessed resolves the allegations listed in this case.</div><div><br></div><div>After consideration of all the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purposes of the Fair Campaign Practices Act. Under WAC 390-37-070, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the Commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted.

This carryforward difference indicated something was either missing or in error in the reporting. The Committee audited their 2024 and 2025 reports and made amendments to the C-4s from both years.

Additionally, there was an expenditure of $1,000.00 to John Traynor on June 28, 2024, for travel costs that was not reported until July 30, 2025.

A C-3 submitted five months late on August 6, 2025, for a deposit made on February 4, 2025, showed $625 in contributions received.

Commission (PDC) completed its review of the complaint filed by Diane Washburn on
September 25, 2025. The complaint alleged that political advertising, in the

during Dennis King’s 2025 reelection campaign.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u><span>Applicable

requires all written political advertising, whether relating to candidates or

"Sponsored by," followed by the name and mailing address of the
sponsor.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u><span>WAC 390-18-010</span></u><span>
includes size and visual contrast requirements. These include that the sponsor
identification must be in the larger of ten-point type, or type that is ten
percent of the largest size type used in the advertisement directed at more
than one voter, such as a yard sign, and not be subject to the half-tone or
screening process, and be set apart from any other printed matter. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u><span>Findings</span></u></p><ul type="disc">

had clear sponsor identification, but it was not clear whether the print met
the size requirements which includes that sponsor identification must

“Paid for By” attribution and that the sponsor identification was clear and
legible.</span></p><p class="MsoListParagraph"><span>·<span> </span></span><span>King
acknowledged </span><span>that while the font size used exceeds
10-point type on both small (2x2) and medium (4x2) signs, it does fall
marginally short of the requirement that the disclaimer be at least 1/10th the
size of the largest font on the sign. King said this variance was an
inadvertent oversight, not an intentional omission and that the error has been
corrected in the design files for future print orders.</span><span></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraph"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>King requested that he be allowed to keep
the existing signs in place, as-is, for the duration of the current election
cycle, and committed that these signs would not be reused in any subsequent
elections. King attached photographs of the sponsor identification disclaimers
as they currently appear, along with a mock-up of the corrected design for
future signs.</span><span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u>Endorsement of Puyallup Police</u></p><p class="MsoNormal">

that the signs included an endorsement reading, “Endorsed by Puyallup Police”
without an explicit statement that the Puyallup Police Association, and not the
city’s police department, had endorsed King. The complainant acknowledged, King
stated, and staff confirmed, that the signs included, in the letter “E” of the
word “Police,” the abbreviation “ASSOC” to clarify that the Puyallup Police
Association, and not the city’s police department, had endorsed King for
Puyallup City Council. The complainant expressed concern that the reference to
the police association was not clearer.</span><span></span></p></li></ul>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1792520.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "179252 Dennis King Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8400/179252%20Dennis%20King%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "179252 Dennis King Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "179252 Response to Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8400/179252%20Response%20to%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "179252 Response to Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "179252 Dennis King Resolution.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8400/179252%20Dennis%20King%20Resolution.pdf", "description" : "179252 Dennis King Resolution", "document_type" : ""}]11/18/2025 09:27:13 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The complaint alleged violations of: RCW 42.17A.255, .260 or .305 and .320 for failure to timely report independent expenditures or electioneering communication and identify sponsor on political advertising in the 2025 election.</p><p>Applicable Laws and Rules</p><p>RCW 42.17A.255 requires a person making an independent expenditure (IE) equaling $1,000 or more in the aggregate to disclose the expenditure to the PDC on a C-6 report within five days of making the expenditure. For the purposes of .255, an “independent expenditure” means “any expenditure that is made in support of or opposition to any candidate or ballot proposition and is not otherwise required to be reported pursuant to RCW 42.17A.225, .235 and .240,” which are statutes that set forth reporting requirements for continuing, candidate, political and incidental committees. </p><p>Per RCW 42.17A.260, the sponsor of political advertising, including an independent expenditure, must file a C-6 report with the PDC within 24 hours of the date the ad is first published, mailed or otherwise presented to the public, if such presentation occurs within 21 days of an election and the advertising has a fair market value or actual cost of $2,000 or more.</p><p>Per RCW 42.17A.305(2), electioneering communications shall be reported as follows: The sponsor of an electioneering communication shall report to the commission within twenty-four hours of, or on the first working day after, the date the electioneering communication is broadcast, transmitted, mailed, erected, distributed, digitally or otherwise, or otherwise published.</p><p>Per RCW 42.17A.005(30)(a), "Independent expenditure" means an expenditure that has each of the following elements: (i) It is made in support of or in opposition to a candidate for office by a person who is not: (A) A candidate for that office; (B) An authorized committee of that candidate for that office; and(C) A person who has received the candidate's encouragement or approval to make the expenditure, if the expenditure pays in whole or in part for political advertising supporting that candidate or promoting the defeat of any other candidate or candidates for that office; (ii) It is made in support of or in opposition to a candidate for office by a person with whom the candidate has not collaborated for the purpose of making the expenditure, if the expenditure pays in whole or in part for political advertising supporting that candidate or promoting the defeat of any other candidate or candidates for that office;</p><p>(iii) The expenditure pays in whole or in part for political advertising that either specifically names the candidate supported or opposed, or clearly and beyond any doubt identifies the candidate without using the candidate's name; and (iv) The expenditure, alone or in conjunction with another expenditure or other expenditures of the same person in support of or opposition to that candidate, has a value of one thousand dollars or more. A series of expenditures, each of which is under one thousand dollars, constitutes one independent expenditure if their cumulative value is one thousand dollars or more. The statue also outlines exemption to the law.</p><p>Per RCW 42.17A.005(21)(a), "Electioneering communication" means any broadcast, cable, or satellite television, radio transmission, digital communication, United States postal service mailing, billboard, newspaper, or periodical that: (i) Clearly identifies a candidate for a state, local, or judicial office either by specifically naming the candidate, or identifying the candidate without using the candidate's name;</p><p>(ii) Is broadcast, transmitted electronically or by other means, mailed, erected, distributed, or otherwise published within sixty days before any election for that office in the jurisdiction in which the candidate is seeking election; and (iii) Either alone, or in combination with one or more communications identifying the candidate by the same sponsor during the sixty days before an election, has a fair market value or cost of one thousand dollars or more. The statute also outlines exemptions to the law.</p><p>Pursuant to RCW 42.17A.320, all written political advertising, as defined in RCW 42.17A.005(40), must include the name and address of the sponsor. Sponsor identification should appear on the first page or fold of the political advertising, in at least ten-point type, and be set apart from any other printed matter. WAC 390-18-010 indicates that all advertising must clearly state that it has been paid for by the sponsor. Political advertising undertaken as an independent expenditure or an electioneering communication by a person other than a bona fide political party must also include the statement “No candidate authorized this ad. It is paid for by (name, address, city, state).” Additional disclosures may be required, depending on the sponsor and type of advertising used. For a partisan office, if the candidate has expressed a party or independent preference on the Declaration of Candidacy, that party or independent designation shall be clearly identified in political advertising, electioneering communications, and independent expenditures.</p><p> <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-18-010">WAC 390-18-010</a> and <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-18-030">WAC 390-18-030</a> contain additional information regarding sponsor identification requirements and exemptions for political advertising, and alternatives for online advertising.</p><p>Background and Findings</p><ul><li> In response to the complaint, you indicated that “the website in question is my personal blog which expresses personal opinions” and that you used you own modest resources to create and disseminate the blog called Change Bremerton and a handbill of similar nature. The blog is located at <a href="https://ww.changebremerton.org">https://ww.changebremerton.org</a> and the handbill was disseminated around the Bremerton area. </li><li>Greg Wheeler is the incumbent candidate for Bremerton Mayor in the 2025 election. Based on information available to PDC staff, there is no evidence that you coordinated with a candidate or committee in the development of the blog and handbill that are in opposition to the election of Greg Wheeler.</li><li>You told PDC staff that you personally spent a total of $269.51 on the development and management of the blog and the creation and dissemination of the handbill provided as evidence in this case. Based on this information, there is evidence that your activity exceeded the expenditure thresholds outlined WAC 390-18-030 and therefore required complete sponsor identification on the political advertising.</li><li>You have also told staff that you did not receive any monetary or in-kind support and that the blog and handbill were your only activity in the primary election and that you are not planning any other activity during the general election. </li><li>On July 29, 2025, you updated the website to include complete sponsor identification including your full name and address. You also made notification across various social media of your responsibility for the political advertising.</li><li>Based on the available evidence, it does not appear that during the primary election you exceeded the threshold over which you would have been required to submit the Independent Spending & Electioneering Communications (C-6) report. </li><li>You do not have previous warnings or violations of PDC requirements.</li></ul><p>Summary and Resolution</p><p>The violations of PDC laws and rules made by you are remediable in nature and do not warrant further investigation or enforcement action. Because you took corrective action within five business days after being notified of noncompliance by PDC staff, the violations did not materially harm the public interest beyond the harm to the policy of Chapter 42.17A RCW inherent in any violation.</p><p>After consideration of all the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purposes of the Fair Campaign Practices Act. Under WAC 390-37-070, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the Commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted. The executive director must report at each regular Commission meeting all complaints dismissed.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1762780.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "176278 ChangeBremerton Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8220/176278%20ChangeBremerton%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "176278 Travis Merrigan (Change Bremerton) Resolution.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8220/176278%20Travis%20Merrigan%20%28Change%20Bremerton%29%20Resolution.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Remedial resolution"}, {"file_name" : "176278 Change Bremerton Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8220/176278%20Change%20Bremerton%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/22/2025 11:43:09 AMPDC staff resolved case after campaign remediated small-dollar reporting error.

cited canons and rules that are not enforced by the PDC (the Code of Judicial
Conduct). Another allegation was dismissed as unfounded because it pertained to
an optional alternative reporting method for which there was no indication or
evidence of a violation (RCW 42.17A.230). A third allegation regarding the

<p class="MsoNormal">PDC staff reviewed examples cited

expenditures and in-kind contributions and asked Respondent to review the
examples and file amended reports, as needed, for descriptions of monetary
expenditures, in accordance with <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-16-037" target="_blank">WAC 390-16-037</a>, and in accordance with <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=390-16-205" target="_blank">WAC 390-16-205</a> when an agent is used to make

needed in amendments, the number of items printed, and for signs, including
yard signs and decals, the number of items purchased.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Background & Findings</u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">·
Cassie Franklin was elected to the Everett
City Council in 2015. Franklin was elected Mayor of Everett in 2017 and 2021
and is a candidate for reelection in 2025.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Franklin’s 2025 reelection campaign started
in January 2022 with Michael Swanson serving as treasurer. Lindsay Cortes
became Franklin’s treasurer for her 2025 campaign in March 2024.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Below are the allegations included in the
complaints and staff’s notations of possible
inadequate descriptions of monetary expenditures and in-kind contributions,
along with the campaign’s response and summary of amended reports.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The first complaint alleged that:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>C-3
Report 110 295 353 totaling $5,650 was filed 22 days late. Staff confirmed
that the C-3 was filed 22 days late.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>C-3
Report 110 295 354 totaling $500 was filed 15 days late. Staff confirmed
that the C-3 was filed 15 days late.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>Proper
expenditure descriptions are missing for several entries in the campaign’s
2025 C-4 reports, typically relating to printing expenses. </span></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Franklin campaign stated, “We
have carefully reviewed the issues noted and taken corrective action where
necessary. Specifically, we have filed amended C4 reports to include additional
subvendors and correct any expense reporting discrepancies where necessary.
These updates should now accurately reflect all required disclosures.
However, many of the items noted from 3/15/23-4/08/25 did not use subvendors,
so no action was taken other than clarifying that in our response below.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The second complaint alleged that:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>As
of Aug. 8, 2025, the campaign had not disclosed any contributions received
in August 2025. <u>Response from Lindsay Cortes, Treasurer</u>: <i>“We
acknowledge that C-3 reports for contributions received in August were
filed on September 2, 2025, instead of on a weekly basis, as required
beginning June 1. This was due to a misunderstanding on my part—I believed
weekly C-3 filings were required only through the primary election. I now
understand that the weekly filing requirement continues through the
general election, and I have taken corrective action to ensure that all
future C-3 reports are filed timely on Mondays as required. Apologies for
this oversight.”</i></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>C-3
reports of deposits made in August for contributions received in July,
filed Aug. 22, 2025, were due by Aug. 11 and were filed 11 days late. <u>Response
from Lindsay Cortes, Treasurer</u>: <i>“The original C-3 covering July 30
contributions was filed on August 4, 2025, in compliance with the
reporting deadline. An amended C-3 was later filed on August 22, 2025, to
correct an error where $600 was incorrectly attributed to the wrong spouse
(corrected from Maureen Lico to James Lico). The contributions themselves
were reported timely, and the amendment was filed promptly upon discovery
of the error.”</i></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>An
amended C-3 filed Aug. 22, 2025 included previously unreported
contributions totaling $600. <u>Response from Lindsay Cortes</u>: <i>“As
noted above, these contributions were reported on the timely August 4 C-3.
The August 22 filing was an amendment correcting the name of the spouse
making the contribution, not a late report of new contributions.”</i></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>The
campaign's Stripe account for accepting contributions did not include
"a formal sponsor ID statement." <u>Response from Lindsay Cortes</u>:
<i>“There are limited editing capabilities on our Stripe contribution
page. Our contribution page now includes the URL back to the campaign’s
homepage, which contains the full sponsor identification statement, in
line with PDC staff’s guidance that this is sufficient. The URL is listed
in the title ‘Donate to the Re-Elect Mayor Cassie Franklin Campaign
- </i></span>mayorcassiefranklin.com<i><span>,’
and on the page image. The Stripe contribution page was already set up to
reference Cassie's main website in the "thank you" message after
a donation is made. This has been in place since it was created in 2023. A
screenshot of the ‘thank you’ message is attached.”</span></i><span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>An
expenditure did not include a station-by-station breakdown. <u>Response
from Lindsay Cortes</u>: <i>“The July 18, 2025, expenditure to North Sound
Media has been updated to include the specific stations (KRKO and KXA,
Everett, WA).”</i></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>Expenditures
did not include subvendor information, run dates, or the number of pieces
printed. <u>Response from Lindsay Cortes</u>: <i>“We have updated our July
2025 expenditures to include more detail about subvendor information,
addresses, run dates, and the number of pieces printed for Terra Firma
Consulting, Strategies 360, and Sound Publishing.”</i></span></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">Separate from the allegations in and
responses to the two complaints filed by the Complainant, staff asked the
campaign to amend certain reports.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Summary and Resolution</u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cassie Franklin is an experienced candidate who ran for her
third term as Mayor of Everett in 2025. During her 2025 campaign, Franklin
switched to a new treasurer which resulted in a misunderstanding about when C-3
reports were to be filed and a lack of clarity on required expenditure
descriptions. The treasurer acknowledged that two C-3 reports for $5,650 and
$500 were filed 22 and 15 days late, respectively, and responded promptly when
asked to amend reports, updating July expenditures to include subvendor
information where needed, run dates, and the number of pieces printed. The treasurer
noted that in several instances, no
subvendors were used. Additional descriptive information for expenditures not
included in the complaints was requested, and amendments were promptly received.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Saff determined that
in this instance, filing two C-3 reports late and initially providing
incomplete expenditure descriptions do not amount to a finding of a violation
warranting further investigation.</p></li></ul>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1754250.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "175425 Response to Complaint 2.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8170/175425%20Response%20to%20Complaint%202.pdf", "description" : "175425 Response to Complaint 2", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "175425 Cassie Franklin Complaint 2....pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8170/175425%20Cassie%20Franklin%20Complaint%202....pdf", "description" : "175425 Cassie Franklin Complaint 2...", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "175425 Cassie Franklin Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8170/175425%20Cassie%20Franklin%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "175425 Cassie Franklin Resolution.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8170/175425%20Cassie%20Franklin%20Resolution.pdf", "description" : "175425 Cassie Franklin Resolution", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "175425 Response to Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8170/175425%20Response%20to%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "175425 Response to Complaint", "document_type" : ""}]10/21/2025 05:56:12 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Based on our findings, staff has determined
that, in this instance, any violation that may have occurred was minor and has
been cured. After consideration of the circumstances, further proceedings would
not serve the purpose of this chapter. Under WAC 390-37-060, the executive
director, at any time prior to consideration by the commission, may dismiss a
complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to
believe that a violation has occurred, but does not amount to a violation that
warrants further investigation.</span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, you
are receiving a formal written warning concerning failure to timely disclosure
of all contribution and expenditures. Staff expects that you timely file all
future required reports of contributions and expenditures. The Commission will
consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action
if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>

Unfortunately, the materials used in making your decisions about use of surplus funds were not complete and your understanding of PDC requirements were not predicated on the fact pattern of your specific case. As was explained during our investigation, a public office-related expense must be used in the furtherance of the duties of the office for which the expense is claimed. Your legal expenses were not in the furtherance of your official duties but rather to defend against censure by the board of which you were a member. We consider this sort of legal expenditure as personal use.

and Resolution</span></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Based on our findings,
staff has determined that, in this instance, any violation that may have
occurred was minor and has been cured. After consideration of the
circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purpose of this chapter.
Under WAC 390-37-060, the executive director, at any time prior to
consideration by the commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or
as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has
occurred, but does not amount to a violation that warrants further
investigation.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, you
are receiving a formal written warning concerning failure to accurately disclose
expenditures and provide complete sponsor identification on political advertising.
Staff expects that you accurately file all future required reports and provide
complete sponsor identification on political advertising. The Commission will
consider this formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action
if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Based
on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW

following:<div><br><div><p class="MsoNormal">The
complaint filed by Amy McColm on August 7, 2025 alleged that
Arlene Fisher Maurer (the “Respondent”) violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by
failing to timely and accurately file reports disclosing the following: 1) contributions,
specifically those raised via the candidate’s website; and 2) expenditures for
yard signs, mailings, and banner (e.g. printing, postage). The complaint also alleged
violations of RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to provide accurate and complete
sponsor identification (ID) on political advertising (e.g. website, yard signs,
mailer, banner).</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">The
complaint filed by Conner Edwards on September 1, 2025 alleged
that the Respondent violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by filing 1) a monthly
July C-4 report late; 2) one or more inaccurate reports, based on the existence
of a negative dollar amount on line 18 of the campaign’s July C-4 report; and
3) C-4 reports missing expenditure details (e.g. a vendor address, the quantity
of items purchased). </p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">Mr.
Edwards also alleged that sponsor ID was missing from the donation page on the
candidate’s website in violation of RCW 42.17.320. Sponsor ID is required to be
present on a candidate website’s home page (or landing page, if different) and
it is recommended, but not required, on other web pages. It should also be
noted that 1) the QR code on the Respondent’s yard signs, mailer and banner directed
the public to her home page, not her donation page; and 2) there did not appear
to be a way to access the Respondent’s donation page independently of her website.
Based on these findings, the allegation that sponsor ID was required on the
donation page is hereby dismissed.</p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">Based on the<b> attached</b> findings,<span> PDC staff determined that, in this instance, the Respondent's late reports for 2025 and failure to include

The company made necessary changes to its external and internal business process and took steps to develop a process by which they can better respond to commercial advertiser books-of-account inspections in the future.</p><p>Based on our findings, PDC staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to respond to a request and have its commercial advertiser books-of-account available for inspection does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), this serves as a formal written warning concerning VistaPrint’s failure to respond and have commercial advertiser books-of-account available for inspection as required.

<p class="MsoNormal">The Public Disclosure
Commission (PDC) reviewed a complaint filed by Beth King on Sept. 19, 2025. The
complaint alleged that City of Roy officials, including Mayor Kimber Ivy, may
have used city facilities (City of Roy park property) to hold a campaign event without
following the city's rules for reserving the park and paying the required fees
for use of the city property.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span>Applicable Laws and Rules</span></u></p>

promotion of, or opposition to, any ballot proposition.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>WAC

an appointed official who is responsible for various administrative duties,
including maintaining public records and overseeing the city’s financial

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>On
Sept. 12, 2025, Vanessa Lucey completed and signed an application to use the
City of Roy park on Sept. 20 for a political event that included Mayor Kimber
Ivy and others, including Lucey, who was a candidate for Position 3,
challenging incumbent Edmund Dunn. Both Mayor Ivy and Lucey lost in the general
election. The application for the park permit was approved by Kris Ballerini,
City Clerk/Treasurer. Payment of $51.75 was made by Lucey on Sept. 18, 2025.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>The event was promoted by its
organizers on Facebook. In the invitation, they invited the community to attend

<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Response to Complaint</u></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"><span>·<span> </span></span><span>Kris Ballerini responded to the complaint, providing
documentation for rental of the park facility. Ballerini stated the following:</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span> </span></span><span>“The
City of Roy park is allowed to rent for use by groups and/or
individuals. Any group, religious, political or nonprofit is subject to
the same application process to show fairness and inclusivity while adhering to
the First Amendment for Freedom of Speech. The procedure for renting our park
includes completing an application and paying a deposit based on the length of
time the facility is needed.”</span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>“In this instance, due to the political
nature of the event, the city consulted their legal team and as additional
support, the PDC.”</span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>“Under RCW 42.17A.555 (Item 3), an
exception may occur when the activity falls under regular and normal conduct of
the agency (City). As part of regular and normal conduct, the group rented the
park with no preferential treatment, waiver of fees, etc. They completed the
required application and paid a deposit to secure the date of the event.”</span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>“Permits obtained with council support
shall cover the capacity to monitor group size and ensure that all trash is
monitored by the group, the use of the location and the overall condition of
public property is preserved. Council would also take into consideration if
there would be potential of threat to the health or safety of residents due to
noise levels and or hazardous refuse. (Roy City Code 8-4-3, Sect. S).” </span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>“This group which numbered less than 30,

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><span>·<span> </span></span><span>When
Ballerini </span><span>contacted
PDC staff concerning the use of public facilities for a campaign event, PDC staff
stated, "Is it the normal and regular practice of the City of Roy to allow
groups to use the city park for events? If so, and if the city has no written
policy prohibiting political campaigns from using the park in this way, a group
could reserve the park for a meet and greet with candidates, provided that the
organizers get the use of the park through the normal channels that any group
could use, on a nondormitory (stet), equal access basis."</span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Summary and Resolution</u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">· RCW 42.17A.555 prohibits using the facilities
of a public agency to assist an election campaign for public office unless the
activity is part of the “normal and regular” activities of the agency, as
defined in WAC 390-05-273. Vanessa Lucey rented the City of Roy park facility for
a campaign event held in the park on Sep. 20. Mayor Kimber Ivy and others,
including Lucey, attended the event. Lucey paid the required fee before the
event occurred. However, the City of Roy has a written policy that states, “It is unlawful to hold
or participate in any religious or political meeting or other assembly, or to
distribute literature in any park without first obtaining a permit from the
city council.”</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><span>·<span> </span></span><span>The application to hold a political event in a city park was
approved by Kris Ballerini, City Clerk/Treasurer, after consulting with the
city’s legal counsel and contacting PDC staff but without obtaining the
required approval of the city council. That approval potentially created a
situation where this political event was permitted under a different and more
streamlined process than other religious and political events have faced or could
expect to face. Allowing access to a facility on an equal basis, as advised by
PDC staff, requires a consistent application of the city’s rules. </span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PDC staff determined that,
in this instance, the evidence does not support the finding of a violation that
warrants further investigation or formal enforcement action for a prohibited
use of public facilities to assist election campaigns.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However,
PDC staff reminded the City of Roy about the importance of following its own policies
when considering applications to use city property to assist a candidate’s
election campaign or to support or oppose a ballot proposition.</p></li></ul>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1791420.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "179142 Response to Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8391/179142%20Response%20to%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "179142 Response to Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "179142 City of Roy Officials Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8391/179142%20City%20of%20Roy%20Officials%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "179142 City of Roy Officials Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "179412 City of Roy Officials Resolution.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8391/179412%20City%20of%20Roy%20Officials%20Resolution.pdf", "description" : "179412 City of Roy Officials Resolution", "document_type" : ""}]01/15/2026 02:49:19 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

signs than the ones identified in the second complaint that have not had the
"Go Vote" sticker applied over the word “reelect.” The complaint also
alleged that Kenna’s reply to the first complaint is not accurate because Kenna
did not have the endorsement of Sumner Mayor Carla Bowman.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span><u>Background and Findings</u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">·
Matthew
Kenna was appointed by the Mayor of Sumner to fill a seat left empty by the
departure of an elected member of the Sumner City Council. Matthew Kenna is the
incumbent office holder even though he did not attain the office by election. In
2025, Kenna ran to retain the seat he is now holding.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Use of Term “reelect”</u></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Matthew
Kenna responded to the first complaint, stating he initially believed he was
able to use the term “reelect” in political advertising but was told about two
weeks before the complaint was filed, by a person he believed to be the complainant’s
mother, that he was not allowed to use the term “reelect” in his political
advertising.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Kenna
said he confirmed he was not allowed to use the term “reelect’ in advertising
and updated all signs by Sep. 19, 2025, by covering up the “re” with a sticker
that read “Go Vote!” </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Kenna
said that during the week of Sep. 22, he had his graphics redone to remove “re”
from “reelect” and by Sep. 26 had updated his Facebook page and campaign
website.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>The
second complaint, received Oct. 27, 2025, included photos of two campaign signs
that included the term “reelect.” Kenna responded by saying he corrected the
two signs by the evening of Oct. 29. Kenna maintained that as of Sep. 19 he had
updated all signs of which he was aware. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Endorsements</u></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Kenna
disputed the allegation in the initial complaint that he did not have the
endorsement of some of the people listed as endorsers. Kenna said he received
the endorsement of Mayor Carla Bowman and said he confirmed the endorsement with
Bowman on Sep. 26, 2025.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><span>·<span>
</span></span><span>Kenna
said he contacted Carla Bowman again after receiving the second complaint to
determine whether he still had her endorsement given that he was now endorsing
her opponent. He said Bowman told him she was no longer endorsing him and provided
written confirmation that as of Oct. 29 she no longer endorsed him. Kenna said
he then removed her name as an endorser on his Facebook page and campaign
website.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Summary
and Resolution</u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">An
incumbent is a person who is in present possession of an elected office. Matthew
Kenna is an incumbent Sumner City Council member even though he was not elected
to the office. Therefore, Kenna did not violate RCW 42.17A.335(1)(b) which
prohibits, in certain circumstances, a false claim of incumbency.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">WAC
390-18-040(1) states, in part, that the term "reelect" when used in
an advertisement represents that the candidate is presently holding the office
being sought, <u>was elected to it</u>, and is seeking another term in that
same office in the same district or political subdivision. (Emphasis added) Because
Kenna was appointed, and not elected, to the Sumner City Council, Kenna’s use
of the term “reelect” in political advertising was a false statement about the candidate
himself, an alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.335(1)(a). However, RCW 42.17A.335(3)
states, in part, “It is not a violation of this section for a candidate or his
or her agent to make statements described in subsection (1)(a) or (b) of this
section about the candidate himself or herself because a person cannot defame
himself or herself.” After realizing his mistake, Kenna corrected his
advertising by covering the word “reelect” with a "Go Vote" sticker. Staff
expects candidates to use the appropriate term, "reelect,"
"retain" or "return," as appropriate, based on the
definitions found in WAC 390-18-040.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Matthew
Kenna stated he properly listed Sumner Mayor Carla Bowman as an endorser until
Oct. 29 when Bowman informed Kenna that he no longer had her endorsement. As of
Oct. 29, Kenna removed Bowman’s name from his list of endorsers.</p></li></ul>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1792400.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "179240 Matthew Kenna Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8398/179240%20Matthew%20Kenna%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "179240 Matthew Kenna Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "179240 Matthew Kenna Response to Complaint 2.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8398/179240%20Matthew%20Kenna%20Response%20to%20Complaint%202.pdf", "description" : "179240 Matthew Kenna Response to Complaint 2", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "179240 Matthew Kenna Complaint 2.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8398/179240%20Matthew%20Kenna%20Complaint%202.pdf", "description" : "179240 Matthew Kenna Complaint 2", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "179240 Matthew Kenna Response to Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8398/179240%20Matthew%20Kenna%20Response%20to%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "179240 Matthew Kenna Response to Complaint", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "179240 Matthew Kenna Resolution.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8398/179240%20Matthew%20Kenna%20Resolution.pdf", "description" : "179240 Matthew Kenna Resolution", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Response Picture Matthew Kenna_v2 Print Ready 09162025.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8398/Response%20Picture%20Matthew%20Kenna_v2%20Print%20Ready%2009162025.pdf", "description" : "Response Picture Matthew Kenna_v2 Print Ready 09162025", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Response Picture - 1000005925.jpg", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8398/Response%20Picture%20-%201000005925.jpg", "description" : "Response Picture - 1000005925", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Response Picture 1000005926.jpg", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/8398/Response%20Picture%201000005926.jpg", "description" : "Response Picture 1000005926", "document_type" : ""}]11/17/2025 06:01:54 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The complaint alleged that Mass Transit Now (Respondent), a political committee registered in support of King County’s 2016 Proposition 1 for a regional transportation improvement district, may have violated RCW 42.17A.205 and .235 for failure to register and report contributions and expenditures as a political committee within two weeks of purchasing a domain name, disclosing all committee officers; RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely, accurately, and completely file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the campaign; RCW 42.17A.240 and WAC 390-16-034 for failure to accurately and completely disclose a contributor’s employer and occupation; RCW 42.17A.240 for failure to accurately and completely disclose debts and obligations; RCW 42.17A.240, WAC 390-16-037, and WAC 390-16-205 for failure to completely and accurately disclose expenditure details; RCW 42.17A.425 for allowing persons not designated as committee officers on the Committee Registration to authorize expenditures of committee funds; and RCW 42.17A.445 and WAC 390-16-238 for reimbursing travel expenses without proper documentation.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the responses provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; archived images of websites; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely register and report as a political committee, and to accurately and completely disclose expenditure and in-kind contribution details, do not amount to violations that warrant further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Mass Transit Now will receive a formal written warning concerning their failure to register and report as a political committee within two weeks of the expectation of contributions, and to accurately and completely disclose expenditure and in-kind contribution details. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Mass Transit Now and its members will timely, completely, and accurately adhere to their reporting requirements should they form a committee in the future. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/171060.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "17106 MassTransitNow Response - Redacted 5.28.19.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1439/17106%20MassTransitNow%20Response%20-%20Redacted%205.28.19.pdf", "description" : "17106 MassTransitNow Response with Attachments", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "17106 Mass Transit Now Warning Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1439/17106%20Mass%20Transit%20Now%20Warning%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "MassTransitNowComplaint-WithAttachments.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1439/MassTransitNowComplaint-WithAttachments.pdf", "description" : "MassTransitNowComplaint-WithAttachments.pdf", "document_type" : null}]04/16/2020 04:01:37 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(Nov 18)WAC 390-17-100, WAC 390-17-110, RCW 29B.40.230/42.17A.495Case Closed with Written WarningPolitical Committee - Union<div><p><span>The complaint alleged that United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 598, PDC Case 43672, Plumbers & Steamfitters Local 598 PAC, PDC Case 43673, and 35 employer/contractors, PDC Cases 43675-43709, may have violated RCW 42.17A.495, WAC 390-17-100, and WAC 390-17-110: (1) by failing to obtain a proper written request from employees before withholding wages or salaries for contributions to Plumbers & Steamfitters Local 598 PAC; and (2) by failing to provide an annual notification to employees who have requested payroll deductions for political contributions of their right to withdraw their request at any time, and of the prohibition against discrimination for not contributing. The statute and rules primarily apply to the employer/contractors, but also prohibit the union and the employer/contractors from discriminating against a union member who does not make political contributions.</span></p><div><br></div><p><span>Staff found that the current authorization form does not conform to the requirements in RCW 42.17A.495 and WAC 390-17-100, and that many of the employer/contractors have not been sending out the required annual notification to employees who have funds withheld for PAC contributions, as required by WAC 390-17-110. The employer/contractors rely on the union to provide an authorization form that complies with the law and rules. Staff made it clear what changes need to be made to the written authorization and annual notification. The union, working with and on behalf of the employer/contractors, has developed an authorization form and annual notification that meets the requirement of the statute and rules. The respondents have stated that they will incorporate the changes to the authorization form and annual notification.</span></p><div><br></div><div><span>Staff determined that, in this instance, the failure of the 35 employer/contractor respondents to fully comply with the law does not amount to an actual violation warranting further investigation. However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), the 35 employer/contractor respondents received a formal written warning concerning: (1) their failure to obtain a proper written request from employees before withholding wages or salaries for contributions to Plumbers & Steamfitters Local 598 PAC; and (2) their failure to provide an annual notification to employees who have requested payroll deductions for political contributions of their right to withdraw their request at any time, and of the prohibition against discrimination by the employer and the union for not contributing. The employer/contractors were informed that the Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. Based on this information, the PDC found that no further action is warranted and dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</span></div></div>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/436910.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "43691 Combined Case Closure Letters.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2043/43691%20Combined%20Case%20Closure%20Letters.pdf", "description" : "43691 Combined Case Closure Letters.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "2019 Response to PDC_Redacted_18.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2043/2019%20Response%20to%20PDC_Redacted_18.pdf", "description" : "2019 Response to PDC_Redacted_18.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "43691 Joint Apprenticeship & Training Committee Appendix to complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2043/43691%20Joint%20Apprenticeship%20%26%20Training%20Committee%20Appendix%20to%20complaint.pdf", "description" : "43691 Joint Apprenticeship & Training Committee Appendix to complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "43691 Joint Apprenticeship & Training Committee Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2043/43691%20Joint%20Apprenticeship%20%26%20Training%20Committee%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "43691 Joint Apprenticeship & Training Committee Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}]08/08/2025 02:22:56 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

20654394012/11/201812/11/201804/08/2020Freedom Foundation (Maxford Nelsen)Amalgamated Transit Union Legislative Council of WashingtonAmalgamated Transit Union Legislative Council of Washington: Alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.205 for failure to timely & accurately register as a political committee. (Dec 18)RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205Resolved through Statement of Understanding (SOU)Political Committee - Union<p>A complaint was filed against the Amalgamated Transit Union Legislative Council of Washington State (ATULC) alleging possible violations of: (1) RCW 42.17A.205 by failing to register as a political committee by completing a Committee Registration (C-1pc report) disclosing committee information; and (2) RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to timely file Monetary Contributions reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) as required for a political committee disclosing contribution and expenditure activities undertaken during calendar years 2014 through 2018.</p><p>ATULC has been registered with the PDC as a Lobbyist Employer dating back to at least 1996, filing Annual Report of Lobbyist Employers (L-3 reports) and the Monthly Lobbyist Employer Contributions report (L-3c reports) reports disclosing expenditures made to hire a contract lobbyist to lobby, and contributions that were made to candidates and political committees.</p><p>Staff's investigation (See hyperlink for the Report of Investigation with Exhibits PDF below) focused on ATULC activities undertaken during CY 2016, that involved ATULC making a total of $101,443 in expenditures that included $35,451 in monetary contributions made to 2016 candidates for public office. In the response, ATULC’s percentage of expenditures for contributions made to total contributions represented 35% for calendar year 2016, and PDC staff’s review of the L-3 report filed by the ATULC disclosed that Johnson Arledge Strategies, a contract lobbying firm, received a total of $25,200 in compensation to lobby during calendar year 2016. The L-3 report for 2016 was required to have been filed the last day of February 2017 and was filed almost one year late on January 31, 2018. </p><p>In addition, staff’s review found the L-3c reports filed by ATULC for calendar year 2016 were timely filed disclosing 41 monetary contributions totaling $34,500 except for one contribution disclosed one day late.</p><p>ATULC is a Lobbyist Employer registered and reporting with the PDC and one of its primary purposes is to support legislation through lobbying efforts, to which ATULC devotes significant resources and time on. ATULC also spends resources for ATU local members and membership services, transportation and transit issues, and overhead, and ATULC’s stated goals and mission extend beyond making contributions to candidates for public office and political committees. </p><p>PDC staff found no evidence of a material violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into your complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance concerning ATULC being a political committee. Based on our review of the facts, the majority of ATULC activities do not involve making contributions to candidates for public office, and do not appear to involve electoral political activity at all. ATULC’s percentage of expenditures for monetary contributions to candidates and political committees was 35% in 2016, and 30% in 2018, respectively, however staff noted that 33 of the 41 contributions made in 2016, were made on two dates, June 3, 2016 (21 contributions), and September 16, 2016 (11 contributions).</p><p>PDC staff noted that more than 80% of the ATULC contributions made to candidates for public office in 2016, were made over the course of two days, whereas its lobbying and membership outreach and services were pretty much ongoing throughout the calendar year. Although the ATULC made expenditures in support of candidates, the totality of the evidence does not suggest that ATULC is a political committee, because the making of those expenditures was not its primary purpose, or even one of its primary purposes.</p><p>On April 2, 2020, ATULC completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) and paid a $150 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging a violation of RCW 42.17A.630 for failing to timely file the Annual Report of Lobbyist Employers (L-3 reports) for calendar year 2016. The $150 penalty assessed in this matter resolves the issue of the late filed L-3 report for 2016. </p><p>Based on this information, PDC staff is dismissing this matter against the Amalgamated Transit Union Legislative Council of Washington State in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/43940150.000.000.00150.000.00false[{"file_name" : "43940 Amalgamated Transit Union Legislative Council of WA Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2065/43940%20Amalgamated%20Transit%20Union%20Legislative%20Council%20of%20WA%20Response.pdf", "description" : "43940 Amalgamated Transit Union Legislative Council of WA Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "SoU_ ATU of WA _ 43940.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2065/SoU_%20ATU%20of%20WA%20_%2043940.pdf", "description" : "SoU _ ATU Leg Council of WA ST _ 43940", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "Amalgamated Transit Union Legislative Council of WA ROI with Exhibits (Freedom Foundation) PDC Case 43940.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2065/Amalgamated%20Transit%20Union%20Legislative%20Council%20of%20WA%20ROI%20with%20Exhibits%20%28Freedom%20Foundation%29%20PDC%20Case%2043940.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "ATULC Complaint Return Letter with SOU and Cover Letter (Freedom Foundation) PDC Case 43940.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2065/ATULC%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20with%20SOU%20and%20Cover%20Letter%20%28Freedom%20Foundation%29%20PDC%20Case%2043940.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "ATULC Initial Hearing Results Complainant (Nelson) PDC Case 43940.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2065/ATULC%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20Complainant%20%28Nelson%29%20PDC%20Case%2043940.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "43940 Amalgamated Transit Union Legislative Council of WA Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2065/43940%20Amalgamated%20Transit%20Union%20Legislative%20Council%20of%20WA%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "43940 Amalgamated Transit Union Legislative Council of WA Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}][{"who" : "ATU Leg Council of WA ST", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2020-04-01", "amount" : 150.00, "description" : "Statement of Understanding", "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2020-04-02", "amount" : 150.00, "description" : "PAID"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]04/08/2020 12:35:26 PMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

(Jan 2019)RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205Case Closed with Written WarningPolitical Committee - Democratic Bona Fide<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaints filed by Glen Morgan on October 23, 2018 and January 3, 2019. The complaints alleged that the Pierce County Democratic Central Committee (PCDCC), a bona fide political party committee may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign; and (2) RCW 42.17A.205 by failing to timely file an amended Committee Registration (C-1pc report) within ten days disclosing any material change in the committee information.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations listed in the two complaints filed; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Dominick Bergeron, former Treasurer for Pierce County Democratic Central Committee; the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Based on staff’s review, the alleged late and incomplete filed C-3 and C-4 reports cited in the two complaints were primarily caused by a Committee reorganization and changes in officers, but we noted that the Committee implemented additional internal controls to ensure compliance by creating an oversight committee, by conducting an internal audit, and additional training. These steps were taken, in part, by the Pierce County Democratic Central Committee to comply with the provisions of the settlement agreement. </p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately file 19 filed C-3 and C-4 reports, including amendments, mostly disclosed little monetary activity, or were filed as a result of an internal audit process conducted by PCDCC, and therefore does not warrant further investigation or enforcement action.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the PCDCC received a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contributions reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) disclosing contribution and expenditure activities and failure to timely file an amended Committee Registration (C-1pc report) disclosing material changes. The formal written warning included staff’s expectation that PCDCC timely file accurate and complete C-3, C-4 and C-1pc reports in future years in accordance with PDC laws and rules. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.<br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/446950.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "42704 & 44695 Pierce Co Demo Cent Comm Formal Warning Ltr_0.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2072/42704%20%26%2044695%20Pierce%20Co%20Demo%20Cent%20Comm%20Formal%20Warning%20Ltr_0.pdf", "description" : "42704 & 44695 Pierce Co Demo Cent Comm Formal Warning Ltr_0.pdf", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "44695 Pierce Co Democratic Central Committee Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2072/44695%20Pierce%20Co%20Democratic%20Central%20Committee%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "44695 Pierce Co Democratic Central Committee Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}]07/01/2019 01:26:05 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Flevaris, attorney representing Laurie Jinkins. </p><p>Based on staff’s review, we found RCW 42.17A.710(1)(g) does not include “political committee” in the list of entities required to be reported on the F-1 Supplement, and historically, PDC staff has not advised F-1 filers to include political committees on the F-1 Supplement when the filer holds a position of committee officer in a political committee. </p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined that, in this instance, the failure to list LM PAC on an F-1 Supplement does not appear to be an actual violation warranting further investigation.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/471300.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "47130 Jinkins Laurie Complaint Attach 1 -

(Jan 2019)RCW 29B.30.050/42.17A.320Case Closed with ReminderPolitical Committee - Local Issue<p>The Respondent sponsored an advertisement supporting Proposition 1 that was mailed out on January 25, 2019. The cost of the mailer was $5,200 and was timely & accurately reported by the Respondent to the PDC. The Respondent disclosed two organizations as the Top 5 Contributors on the mailer. McDaniel Projects made an in-kind contribution of $1,000 to the Respondent on January 16, 2019 and the Respondent failed to include this third contributor in its Top 5 disclosure.

The Complainant indicated he visited the Respondent in-person on February 14, 2019 but was denied access to records, a charge the Respondent denied.</p><p>The Complainant failed to fully identify the records sought prior to February 12, 2019 and requested some information outside the scope of RCW 42.17A.345. However, the Respondent failed to respond to the requests, ask for missing information and timely fulfill the portion of the request that fell within the scope of .345 and WAC 390-18-050. The Respondent indicated its belief the such requests were required to be made in-person. However, PDC laws and rules do not specify how requests for commercial advertiser records must be made and WAC 390-18-050 allows the public to request records electronically, which can be satisfied by email or online publication. The Respondent provided the requested records to the Complainant by email on April 22, 2019. </p><p>This complaint also alleged that three editorial articles published by the Respondent between October 27 and November 9, 2018 contained false statements about him, in violation of RCW 42.17A.335, which prohibits a person from sponsoring, with actual malice, a false statement of material fact about a candidate for public office in political advertising or electioneering communications. However, WAC 390-05-290(4) and RCW 42.17A.005(22)(b)(iii) define political advertising and electioneering communications to exclude editorial content in a regularly scheduled new medium that is not controlled by a candidate or committee where payment for the space or time is not normally required. Subsequently, the editorials did not meet the criteria for libel and defamation set forth in .335. </p><p>Based on the information, the PDC found that no further action was warranted and dismissed the matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p><p>PDC staff reminded the Respondent about the importance of making commercial advertiser documents and books of account open for public inspection during normal business hours for three years following the election to which they pertain. PDC staff clarified that this information can be requested electronically or in-person & conveyed its expectation that the Respondent make such information available to the public in future years in accordance with PDC laws and rules. </p><p><br><br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/475140.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "47514 The Olympian Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2111/47514%20The%20Olympian%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "47514 The Olympian Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "47514 The Olympian Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2111/47514%20The%20Olympian%20Response.pdf", "description" : "47514 The Olympian Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "47514 The Olympian Complaint Return Letter with Reminder.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2111/47514%20The%20Olympian%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20with%20Reminder.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]04/24/2019 04:46:32 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The suspended penalty shall not be assessed based solely upon any remediable violation, minor violation, or error classified by the commission as appropriate to address by a technical correction. <br> </li><li>The Committee complies with all PDC reporting requirements.<br> </li><li>The non-suspended portion of the penalty ($7,000) is paid by the Committee within 30 days of the date of the final order in this matter. If the Committee fails to make timely payment of the non-suspended portion of the penalty, the suspended portion of the penalty shall be immediately become due without further action by the Commission.</li></ol><p>Staff determined that in this instance, the remaining allegations do not amount to actual violations warranting further investigation. However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Our Olympic Communities Enterprise Washington will receive a formal written warning concerning the Committee’s failure to comply with filing and disclosure requirements.</p><p>The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation the Committee will: (1) fully identify Top Five Contributors on all future political advertising, independent expenditures (IE) or electioneering communications (EC); (2) provide the required sponsor identification on all future political advertisements, IE’s and EC’s in accordance with statutes and rules; and (3) file timely and complete C-4 and C-6 reports in future years in accordance with PDC laws and rules, including disclosing the required expenditure detail in accordance with RCW 42.17A.240.

The complaints alleged that Shelly Short may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Campaign Full Summary Contributions and Expenditures reports (C-4 reports) disclosing contribution and expenditure activities, including debts and obligations owed to The ROC Foundation, a political consulting firm owned by Mitch Short, Senator Short's spouse, providing detailed expenditure descriptions and the required sub-vendor breakdowns; and (2) RCW 42.17A.560 and WAC 390-17-400, by receiving contributions from the 7th Legislative District Republican Party during the 2017 Legislative session.</p><p>On June 25, 2018, Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) staff opened a formal investigation concerning the complaint filed against Senator Shelly Short for PDC Case 33367. On June 29, 2018, PDC staff conducted an initial hearing (case status review) for Senator Short in PDC Case 33367 in accordance with ESHB 2938. </p><p>Staff reviewed the Citizens Action Notice (CAN) that was filed against Senator Short that included similar allegations to the two complaints, the November 6, 2018 Stipulation and Order of Dismissal, and the June 15, 2018 Letter Ruling from Thurston County Superior Court Judge Carol Murphy for Thurston County case No. 18-2-00456-34.</p><p>That case was stipulated by both parties as "dismissed with prejudice” without any penalties, costs or attorney's fees being paid by either party.

The letter went on to state that the Plaintiff was entitled to judgement as a matter of law concerning the late debt reporting violations.</p><p>PDC staff reminded the Shelly Short Campaign concerning the importance of timely and accurately disclosing all contribution and expenditure activities, including orders-placed, debts and obligations, especially those involving debts and contingency winning bonuses to the candidate’s spouse entity The Roc Foundation, for all future campaigns.</p><p>Concerning the Legislative Session freeze allegation staff found that the expenditures made by the 7th Legislative District Republicans to purchase the signs from the Shelly Short Campaign were properly disclosed as Miscellaneous Receipts and were not contributions subject to the legislative session freeze.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed the two complaints in PDC Cases 27156 and 33367, in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/271560.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Short.xlsx", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/691/Short.xlsx", "description" : "Short.xlsx", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "Short, Shelly Letter Ruling On PSJM (Smith Complaints).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/691/Short%2C%20Shelly%20Letter%20Ruling%20On%20PSJM%20%28Smith%20Complaints%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Shelly Short Complaint Return Letter with Reminder Cover Ltr (Smith) PDC Cases 27156 & 33367.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/691/Shelly%20Short%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20with%20Reminder%20Cover%20Ltr%20%28Smith%29%20PDC%20Cases%20%2027156%20%26%2033367.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "27156 Short Shelly (2) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/691/27156%20Short%20Shelly%20%282%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "27156 Short Shelly (2) Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}]10/08/2019 03:23:40 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The complaint alleged that WA Conservation Voters Action Fund may have violated RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to accurately and completely disclose sponsor identification on text message based political advertising. </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">PDC staff reviewed your allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by WA Conservation Voters Action Fund; and PDC guidance concerning sponsor identification for text messages issued October 13, 2018, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">The guidance that WA Conservation Voters Action Fund cited in their response to the allegations states, “[s]ince some phones receiving the text will not be able to follow a link, we suggest campaigns include, in addition to a web address, mechanisms that allow the recipients to request sponsor ID information. Sponsors should make that process as easy as possible, perhaps by allowing the recipient to reply with a single character that then prompts another text message with the sponsor ID information. The message would look something like this: ‘Go to <a href="http://www.xyzcommittee.com" rel="noreferrer">www.xyzcommittee.com</a> or text * for sponsor information.’”] </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Based on these findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to provide an adequate avenue for voters to receive sponsor identification without connection to the Internet does not amount to an actual violation warranting further investigation. </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), WA Conservation Voters Action Fund will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to provide an adequate avenue for voters to receive sponsor identification without connection to the Internet. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that WA Conservation Voters Action Fund provides a mechanism in future political advertising for non-Internet capable devices to access the required sponsor identification disclosures quickly and easily. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </div></div>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/429580.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "42958 WA Conservation Voters Action Fund Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1999/42958%20WA%20Conservation%20Voters%20Action%20Fund%20Response.pdf", "description" : "42958 WA Conservation Voters Action Fund Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "42958 WA Conservation Voters Action Fund Written Warning.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1999/42958%20WA%20Conservation%20Voters%20Action%20Fund%20Written%20Warning.pdf", "description" : "42958 WA Conservation Voters Action Fund Written Warning.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "42958 WA Conservation Voters Action Fund Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1999/42958%20WA%20Conservation%20Voters%20Action%20Fund%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "42958 WA Conservation Voters Action Fund Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "42958 WA Conservation Voters Action Fund Supplemental Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1999/42958%20WA%20Conservation%20Voters%20Action%20Fund%20Supplemental%20Response.pdf", "description" : "42958 WA Conservation Voters Action Fund Supplemental Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}]03/31/2019 12:54:25 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

<p><u>RESPONSE:</u></p>
<p><span>Hello,</span><br></p>
<div>
<p></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>I received notice that KJ Hinton filed a complaint regarding the PAC funds reporting on March 14th.</p>
<p>Apparently our treasurer , Mark Deason, filed the C4 report 4 days late.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Our apologies for the 4 day late tardiness but I will say it was filed by the time we received</p>
<p>any notice of complaint issued.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>At the time he (our treasurer) was dealing with the <span>on going issues of his father's dying and timing was crazy for him.</span></p>
<p>There was simply put a lot on his plate physically and emotionally to deal with.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Since he only has one (had) father I do not anticipate this to recur.</p>
<p>Things have not quite settled down from his passing but I am sure that we will see them</p>
<p>return to running smoothly again.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>I hope this puts this issue to rest with no further ado. Feel free to contact me at cell (503) 984-5659</p>
<p>or my email address of <a href="mailto:hazel_x2@comcast.net" rel="noreferrer" style="font-size: 13px;">hazel_x2@comcast.net</a> should we need any further actions.</p>
<p><br></p>

Once a qualifying debt is outstanding for 5 business days in the period 30 days before the election, or 10 business days during any other period, and is past due as of the last day of the reporting period, it must be reported as an outstanding debt or obligation.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately report contribution and expenditure activity does not amount to violations that warrant further investigation.</p><p>However, PDC staff is reminding Christine Rolfes about the importance of the timely and accurate disclosure of all contribution and expenditure activities, and the timely and accurate filings of all future PDC reports in accordance with the statutes and rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/282380.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Complaint Attach - ChRo - Exhibit C - Illegal failure to break down expenditures.xlsx", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/600/Complaint%20Attach%20-%20ChRo%20-%20Exhibit%20C%20-%20Illegal%20failure%20to%20break%20down%20expenditures.xlsx", "description" : "Complaint Attach - ChRo - Exhibit C - Illegal failure to break down expenditures.xlsx", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "Complaint Christine Rolfes.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/600/Complaint%20Christine%20Rolfes.pdf", "description" : "Complaint Christine Rolfes.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "28238 Christine Rolfes Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/600/28238%20Christine%20Rolfes%20Response.pdf", "description" : "28238 Christine Rolfes Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "Complaint Attach - ChRo - Exhibit B - Illegal failure to report debt.xlsx", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/600/Complaint%20Attach%20-%20ChRo%20-%20Exhibit%20B%20-%20Illegal%20failure%20to%20report%20debt.xlsx", "description" : "Complaint Attach - ChRo - Exhibit B - Illegal failure to report debt.xlsx", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "Complaint Attach - ChRo - Exhibit A - Illegally late reported C3 and C4 reports.xlsx", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/600/Complaint%20Attach%20-%20ChRo%20-%20Exhibit%20A%20-%20Illegally%20late%20reported%20C3%20and%20C4%20reports.xlsx", "description" : "Complaint Attach - ChRo - Exhibit A - Illegally late reported C3 and C4 reports.xlsx", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "28238 Rolfes Christine Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/600/28238%20Rolfes%20Christine%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Reminder"}]01/27/2020 12:18:00 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

Finally, the email political advertisement kicking off the Campaign for I-1550 was identified as being from Tim Eyman and Voters Want More Choices, although it failed to include the words “Paid for” or “Sponsored by” in the communication as part of the required sponsor identification. </p><p>PDC staff is reminding Voters Want More Choices PAC about the importance of timely registering as a political committee and filing the C-3 and C-4 required reports in the future disclosing contribution and expenditure activities undertaken by the Committee, including the carry forward balance from the previous year and listing the complete sponsor identification on all future political advertisements as required by PDC laws and rules. </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/130780.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "13078 Voters Want More Choices Complaint w Attachments.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1504/13078%20Voters%20Want%20More%20Choices%20Complaint%20w%20Attachments.pdf", "description" : "13078 Voters Want More Choices Complaint w Attachments.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "Voters Want More Choices Complaint Return Letter with Reminder Cover Ltr (Roland) PDC Case 13078.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1504/Voters%20Want%20More%20Choices%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20with%20Reminder%20Cover%20Ltr%20%20%28Roland%29%20PDC%20Case%2013078.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]07/03/2019 02:13:32 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

PDC practice for treating contributions received by a committee is that the first contributions received are the first contributions spent (absent evidence to the contrary), so the $10,000 contribution the Committee made to Mr. Sullivan, only $3,220 of the $10,500 contribution received from the IAFF Local 46 was used to make the contribution to the Brian Sullivan Campaign, or 30.7 percent of the IAFF Local 46 contribution.</p><p>Staff's review found no evidence that the $10,500 contribution received by the Committee from IAFF Local 46 was earmarked, designated or otherwise directed through the Committee to be contributed to the Brian Sullivan Campaign. Both Mr. Harris and Mr. Gagnon submitted declarations affirming that the contribution received by the Committee from IAFF Local 46 was “not earmarked …or otherwise directed or encumbered to be spent” for Brian Sullivan or any specific candidate. </p><p>However, the Committee completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) and paid a $150 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging a violation of RCW 42.17A.405 for exceeding the $5,500 contribution limits for for a Non-Exempt funds account of a bona fide political party committee for calendar year 2017. The $150 penalty assessed in this matter resolves the issue of exceeding the Non-exempt contributions limits by the Committee. </p><p>Based on the Committee having no prior violations, completing the SOU, and refunded $5,000 of the $10,500 contribution received from the IAFF Local 46, the PDC dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p><p> </p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/16901150.000.000.00150.000.00false[{"file_name" : "16901-38th Leg District Democrats Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1441/16901-38th%20Leg%20District%20Democrats%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "16901-38th Leg District Democrats Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "16901-38th Leg District Democrats Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1441/16901-38th%20Leg%20District%20Democrats%20Response.pdf", "description" : "16901-38th Leg District Democrats Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "Statement of Understanding_38th LD Democrats.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1441/Statement%20of%20Understanding_38th%20LD%20Democrats.pdf", "description" : "Statement of Understanding_38th LD Democrats", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "OfficialDeclarationSIGNED-20170501-HarrisV.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1441/OfficialDeclarationSIGNED-20170501-HarrisV.pdf", "description" : "OfficialDeclarationSIGNED-20170501-HarrisV.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "38th Legislative District Dem CC Complaint Return with SOU and Warning Cover Letter (Pryor and Morgan) PDC Cases 16901 and 27925.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1441/38th%20Legislative%20District%20Dem%20CC%20Complaint%20Return%20with%20SOU%20and%20Warning%20Cover%20Letter%20%28Pryor%20and%20Morgan%29%20PDC%20Cases%2016901%20and%2027925.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}][{"who" : "38th Legislative District Democrats", "address" : null, "order_date" : "2019-06-25", "due_date" : "2019-06-25", "amount" : 150.00, "description" : "Resolved Through Statement of Understanding", "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2019-06-25", "amount" : 150.00, "description" : "Paid by Check - Resolved Through Statement of Understanding"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]07/23/2019 07:07:01 PMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

The complaint alleged that James Dow Constantine, the incumbent King County Executive, and a candidate for re-election to that office in 2017, may have committed multiple violations of Chapter 42.17A RCW as detailed below.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Campaign Treasurer, Philip Lloyd on behalf of the candidate, the Campaign and the Surplus Funds Account; queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and reviewed the Candidate and Surplus Funds Account Registrations (C-1 reports), Monetary Contributions reports (C-3 reports), Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), and Statements of Financial Affairs reports (F-1 reports), filed by the Respondent, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the Respondent received a formal written warning concerning failure to timely disclose debts, properly report sub-vendor information, including underlying vendors when reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenditures were made, and failure to include complete expenditure descriptions when required. The formal written warning included staff’s expectation that the Respondent timely disclose debts, properly report sub-vendor information, including underlying vendors when reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenditures were made, and that the Respondent include complete expenditure descriptions when required on all future required reports of contributions and expenditures for campaign and surplus accounts. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Staff noted that some allegations were beyond the five-year statute of limitations in accordance with RCW 42.17A.770.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/174420.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "17442 Dow Constantine Complaint Addendum.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1434/17442%20Dow%20Constantine%20Complaint%20Addendum.pdf", "description" : "17442 Dow Constantine Complaint Addendum.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "17442 Dow Constantine AGO Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1434/17442%20Dow%20Constantine%20AGO%20Response.pdf", "description" : "17442 Dow Constantine AGO Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "17442 Dow Constantine Response Addendum.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1434/17442%20Dow%20Constantine%20Response%20Addendum.pdf", "description" : "17442 Dow Constantine Response Addendum.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "Response Attachment - Ntc-20170501-CitAct-Att3- UPDATED 3 (1).xlsx", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1434/Response%20Attachment%20-%20Ntc-20170501-CitAct-Att3-%20UPDATED%203%20%281%29.xlsx", "description" : "Response Attachment - Ntc-20170501-CitAct-Att3- UPDATED 3 (1).xlsx", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "17442 Dow Constantine Complaint with Attachments.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1434/17442%20Dow%20Constantine%20Complaint%20with%20Attachments.pdf", "description" : "17442 Dow Constantine Complaint with Attachments.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "17442 Dow Constantine Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1434/17442%20Dow%20Constantine%20Response.pdf", "description" : "17442 Dow Constantine Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "17442 Constantine James Dow Dismissal Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1434/17442%20Constantine%20James%20Dow%20Dismissal%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]06/18/2020 04:07:32 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(March 2018)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235Case Closed with Written WarningPolitical Committee - Democratic Bona Fide<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed by Glen Morgan on March 28, 2018. The complaint alleged that the Snohomish County Young Democrats may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failing to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports). PDC staff reviewed the allegations listed in the complaint to determine whether a formal investigation or enforcement action is warranted. Staff reviewed the exhibit submitted with the complaint, the C-3 and C-4 reports filed by the Snohomish County Young Democrats (Committee), and the July 31, 2018 response letter received from the committee. </p><p>The C-4 reports disclosed the Committee received $1,197 in total contributions received and expenditures totaling $323. The December 2017 C-4 report filed by the Committee was marked as the “Final” report. While the Snohomish County Young Democrats failed to timely file a few C-3 and C-4 report for the portion of calendar year 2017 they were under the Full Reporting Option, the Committee had very minimal contribution and expenditure activities to disclose. But for the $655 monetary contribution received from the Snohomish County Democrat’s on September 12, 2017, the Committee would have remained under the Mini Reporting Option. </p><p>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), the Snohomish County Young Democrats will receive a formal written warning concerning its failure to timely file C-3 and C-4 reports disclosing contribution and expenditure activities under the Full Reporting Option in 2017. The formal written warning conveys our expectation that the Snohomish County Young Democrats will fully comply with the reporting requirements to timely file contribution and expenditure reports in the future, if the committee remains active and is registered under the Full Reporting Option. The Commission will consider this formal written warning if there are any PDC law or rule violations by the Snohomish County Young Democrats in the future. </p><p>Based on these findings, the PDC has dismissed your complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1)(a). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/333780.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Complaint Attach - SnoCoYoungDems - Exhibit A - Illegally late reported C3 and C4 reports.xlsx", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/466/Complaint%20Attach%20-%20SnoCoYoungDems%20-%20Exhibit%20A%20-%20Illegally%20late%20reported%20C3%20and%20C4%20reports.xlsx", "description" : "Complaint Attach - SnoCoYoungDems - Exhibit A - Illegally late reported C3 and C4 reports.xlsx", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "33378 Snohomish County Young Democrats Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/466/33378%20Snohomish%20County%20Young%20Democrats%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "33378 Snohomish County Young Democrats Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "33378 Snohomish County Young Democrats Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/466/33378%20Snohomish%20County%20Young%20Democrats%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "33378 Snohomish County Young Democrats Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "33378 Snohomish County Young Democrats Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/466/33378%20Snohomish%20County%20Young%20Democrats%20Response.pdf", "description" : "33378 Snohomish County Young Democrats Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}]04/07/2019 02:41:40 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Committees that receive less than $5,000 in contributions, receive and make less than $5,000 in expenditures in a calendar year, and receive no more than $500 in aggregate contributions from a single contributor qualify for the Mini Reporting Option and are subsequently not required to file C-3 & C-4 reports disclosing contribution & expenditure activities. </p><p>On February 14, 2019, the Respondent filed a new C-1PC committee registration for 2019, selecting the Mini Reporting Option, and three amended registrations for 2016-2018, retroactively claiming the Mini Reporting Option. The Respondent also disclosed to the PDC its 2017 contribution & expenditure activities, including $2,000 in contributions to the Nehring campaign. </p><p>The Respondent does not have any prior violations or complaints filed with the PDC and is a relatively small, unsophisticated committee with modest expenditures totaling less than $5,000 a year, which would have qualified it for the Mini Reporting Option. Based on these facts, PDC staff has determined that, in this instance, the failure to file C-3 & C-4 reports disclosing contribution & expenditure activities under the Full Reporting Option does not amount to a finding of an actual violation warranting further investigation. </p><p>The PDC formally warned the Respondent of the importance of timely and accurately filing C-3 & C-4 reports disclosing contributions & expenditures as required by PDC laws and rules for a committee under the Full Reporting Option. This formal warning conveys staff's expectation that the Respondent will fully comply with the C-3 & C-4 reporting requirements in the future, should it select the Full Reporting Option on its C-1PC committee registration or exceed the limitations of the Mini Reporting Option. The Commission will consider this formal written warning if there are any future PDC law or rule violations by the Respondent. Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/192390.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "19239 Snohomish Co GOP Leaders Fund Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1389/19239%20Snohomish%20Co%20GOP%20Leaders%20Fund%20Response.pdf", "description" : "19239 Snohomish Co GOP Leaders Fund Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "19239 Snohomish Co GOP Leaders Fund Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1389/19239%20Snohomish%20Co%20GOP%20Leaders%20Fund%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "19239 Snohomish Co GOP Leaders Fund Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "19239 Snohomish Co GOP Leaders Fund Warning Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1389/19239%20Snohomish%20Co%20GOP%20Leaders%20Fund%20Warning%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : null}]04/05/2019 01:54:08 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaint alleged that Tina Podlodowski, a 2016 candidate for the office of Washington State Secretary of State, may have violated several provisions of Chapter 42.17A RCW as detailed below. <br>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the responses provided by Tina Podlodowski; queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and reviewed the Candidate Registrations (C-1 reports), Monetary Contributions reports (C-3 reports), and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) filed by the 2016 Voters for Tina Campaign (Campaign) to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>Staff did note there were expenditures made by the Campaign, either as reimbursements to individuals or volunteers, or payments made to a consultant or vendor for which it appears a more detailed description and possibly a sub-vendor breakdown likely should have been provided. The response provided by the Campaign identified several items where run dates and number of items printed should have been included.</p><p>At the request of staff, the Campaign amended their reports to provide additional detailed disclosures and bring the 2016 Campaign into compliance, which included filing amended C-4 reports disclosing the run dates and the number of items printed for political advertising expenditures. Staff would classify these issues as reporting discrepancies which are minor or technical in nature and does not believe the violations rise to the level of any enforcement action.<br><br>As noted in the letter to the Complainant, several the allegations listed in the complaint concerned information disclosed on amended C-3 and C-4 reports filed by the Campaign. Staff’s review of the initial and amended C-3 and C-4 reports filed by the Campaign confirmed a good faith effort was made to comply with the PDC reporting requirements for the 2016 election. Staff found that the Campaign: (1) filed 6 amended C-3 reports and 18 amended C-4 reports, demonstrating a good faith effort to provide additional and/or updated disclosure information as the Campaign became aware of it; (2) were in frequent contact with PDC staff throughout the 2016 election in order to comply with the reporting requirements; and (3) timely filed the overwhelming majority of the initially filed C-3 and C-4 reports disclosing $923,668 in total contributions received and total expenditures made. <br><br>PDC staff found no evidence of a material violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance.

The complaint alleged that Hilary Franz, a 2016 candidate for the office of Washington State Commissioner of Public Lands, may have violated Chapter 42.17A RCW as detailed below. <br>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the responses provided by Dmitri Iglitzin, an attorney with Barnard, Iglitzin, Lavitt, LLP, on behalf of the Hilary Franz Campaign; queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and reviewed the Candidate Registrations (C-1 reports), Monetary Contributions reports (C-3 reports), and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) filed by the 2016 Friends of Hilary Franz (Campaign) to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. <br><br>As noted in the letters dismissing this case, several the allegations listed in the complaint concerned information disclosed on amended C-3 and C-4 reports filed by the Campaign. Staff’s review of the initial and amended C-3 and C-4 reports filed by the Campaign confirmed the Campaign made a good faith effort to comply with the statutes, rules and reporting requirements for the 2016 election. The Campaign filed 11 amended C-3 reports and 15 amended C-4 reports during the 2016 election cycle, demonstrating a good faith effort to provide additional and/or updated disclosure information as the Campaign became aware of it. <br><br>Staff found there were expenditures made by the Campaign, either as reimbursements to individuals or volunteers, or payments made to a consultant or vendor for which it appears a more detailed description and/or a sub-vendor breakdown likely should have been disclosed. Staff also identified expenditures made by the Campaign where the run dates for political advertisements and the number of brochures or letters printed should have been disclosed. <br><br>At the request of PDC staff, the Campaign amended their reports to provide additional detailed disclosures and bring the 2016 Campaign into compliance, which included filing amended C-4 reports disclosing the run dates and the number of items printed for political advertising expenditures. Staff would classify these issues as reporting discrepancies which are minor or technical in nature, and do not believe the violations rise to the level of any enforcement action. <br><br>Staff would note that the Campaign took corrective action once they were notified and became aware of this issue. The two expenditures are minor in proportion to the overall contribution and expenditure activities undertaken by the Campaign and the two political party committees during the 2016 election and did not materially impact the public interest. <br><br>The issues in this matter are mitigated by the fact that the Campaign: (1) was in frequent contact with PDC staff throughout the 2016 election in order to comply with the reporting requirements; (2) timely filed the overwhelming majority of the initially filed C-3 and C-4 reports, including the 21-Day and 7-Day Pre-Primary and General Election C-4 reports; and (3) disclosed receiving more than $530,000 in contributions received and expenditures made for a statewide elected office. <br><br>PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance. However, staff has reminded the Campaign to provide a more detailed breakdown for expenditures made to reimburse individuals or payments made to consultants or vendors, including the number of items printed for political advertising, and to pay only the actual cost of goods or services for any events sponsored by other candidates or political committees in the future. In addition, please be aware of the changes to the disclosure of debt and other reporting requirements as part of the passage of ESHB 2938 (2018). <br><br>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). <br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/213530.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "21353 Franz Hillary Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1198/21353%20Franz%20Hillary%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "21353 Franz Hillary Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "21353 Franz Hillary Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1198/21353%20Franz%20Hillary%20Response.pdf", "description" : "21353 Franz Hillary Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "21353 Franz Hilary Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1198/21353%20Franz%20Hilary%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Reminder"}]07/18/2019 09:48:27 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The complaint alleged that Kevin Van de Wege, a 2016 candidate for State Senator for Legislative District 24, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign; RCW 42.17A.240 for failure to accurately and completely disclose debts and obligations; RCW 42.17A.240, WAC 390-16-037, and <br>WAC 390-16-205 for failure to provide complete and detailed descriptions of expenditures, including sub-vendors; and RCW 42.17A.445 for unauthorized use of campaign funds for personal purposes.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the 2016 Committee to Elect Kevin Van de Wege (Campaign); the applicable PDC reports filed by the Campaign; and queried the Campaign’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to provide sufficiently detailed descriptions of expenditures undertaken by the Campaign, and misusing campaign funds to purchase a newspaper subscription, do not amount to violations warranting further investigation.</p><p>PDC staff is reminding Kevin Van de Wege about the importance of the complete and accurate disclosure of expenditure details, including sub-vendors, and the prohibition on the use of campaign funds for personal use. In the future, staff expects timely, complete, and accurate disclosure of all contribution and expenditure activity, and the use of campaign funds for only campaign-related purposes, in accordance with PDC laws and rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).<br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/282390.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "28239 Van de Wege Kevin Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/599/28239%20Van%20de%20Wege%20Kevin%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Reminder"}, {"file_name" : "Complaint Attach - KeVa - Exhibit B - Illegal failure to report debt.xlsx", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/599/Complaint%20Attach%20-%20KeVa%20-%20Exhibit%20B%20-%20Illegal%20failure%20to%20report%20debt.xlsx", "description" : "Complaint Attach - KeVa - Exhibit B - Illegal failure to report debt.xlsx", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "28239 Van De Wege Kevin Response_0.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/599/28239%20Van%20De%20Wege%20Kevin%20Response_0.pdf", "description" : "28239 Van De Wege Kevin Response_0.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "Complaint Attach - KeVa - Exhibit A - Illegally late reported C3 and C4 reports.xlsx", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/599/Complaint%20Attach%20-%20KeVa%20-%20Exhibit%20A%20-%20Illegally%20late%20reported%20C3%20and%20C4%20reports.xlsx", "description" : "Complaint Attach - KeVa - Exhibit A - Illegally late reported C3 and C4 reports.xlsx", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "Complaint Attach - KeVa - Exhibit C - Illegal failure to break down expenditures.xlsx", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/599/Complaint%20Attach%20-%20KeVa%20-%20Exhibit%20C%20-%20Illegal%20failure%20to%20break%20down%20expenditures.xlsx", "description" : "Complaint Attach - KeVa - Exhibit C - Illegal failure to break down expenditures.xlsx", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "28239 Complaint Van De Wege Kevin.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/599/28239%20Complaint%20Van%20De%20Wege%20Kevin.pdf", "description" : "28239 Complaint Van De Wege Kevin.pdf", "document_type" : null}]08/01/2019 03:42:09 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The complaint alleged that the Pierce County Republican Party (Committee), a bona fide political party committee may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing activities undertaken by the Committee during calendar years 2015, 2016 and 2017; and (2) RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to timely and accurately file C-4 reports disclosing debts and other obligations owed by the Committee during calendar years 2015, 2016 and 2017.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the majority of the late reported activity, including debts or other obligations, undertaken by the Committee was for expenses connected to party building, a “get out the vote” effort and party fundraising activities. The Committee is staffed primarily by volunteers and the reporting deficiencies found do not appear intentional or otherwise meant to avoid disclosure.</p><p>Staff found that, although timely disclosed by the recipient, the C-4 report disclosing the $37,000 campaign contribution to the 2016 Friends of Steve O’Ban campaign should have been disclosed by October 18, 2016 on a C-4 covering September 1, 2016 to October 17, 2016 but was submitted 89 days late. In addition, a second C-4 covering October 18, 2016 to October 31, 2016 was due by November 1, 2016 and was submitted 75 days late. </p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely file C-4 reports for calendar years 2015, 2016 and 2017, that disclosed activities not related to the primary or general elections and failure to timely disclose one campaign contribution using the reporting schedule described in RCW 42.17A.235, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>PDC staff reminded the Pierce County Republican Party about the importance of the timely disclosure of all expenditure activities, including debts or other obligations, and the requirement to submit C-4 reports prior to and after each primary or general election in which they participate, for all future PDC reports in accordance with the statutes and rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/223110.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "22311 Pierce Co Republicans Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1068/22311%20Pierce%20Co%20Republicans%20Response.pdf", "description" : "22311 Pierce Co Republicans Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "22311 Pierce Co Republicans Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1068/22311%20Pierce%20Co%20Republicans%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "22311 Pierce Co Republicans Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "22311 Pierce Co Republican Party Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1068/22311%20Pierce%20Co%20Republican%20Party%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]06/24/2020 11:46:13 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

PDC staff reviewed the allegations listed in the two complaints, the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements for a candidate, the applicable PDC reports filed by the Committee and data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, and the responses provided by Jason Bennett of Argo Strategies, treasurer for the Committee to Re-elect John Lovick (Committee). </p><p>John Lovick completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) and paid a $900 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging six violations of RCW 42.17A. </p><p>The violations were failing to: (1) timely deposit monetary contributions within five business days of receipt; (2) timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports reports during calendar years 2015 and 2016; (3) maintain campaign records and the required books of account to verify the information disclosed on C-3 and C-4 reports. </p><p>The $900 penalty assessed in this matter resolves the allegations listed in your complaints concerning the late filed reports and other matters. <br><br>Based on the above findings and the SOU, staff has determined that, in this instance, this matter does not warrant further investigation.

The complaint alleged that State Representative Norman Johnson may have violated:</p><p>Allegation One: RCW 42.17A.445 for the personal use of campaign funds when Rep. Johnson made a $3,000 contribution to the House Republican Organizational Committee (HROC) using campaign funds, and when he made a $1,038.55 contribution to the West Valley Fair, described as “Donation to Fair,” using campaign funds.</p><p>Allegation Two: RCW 42.17A.430 for disposing of surplus funds in a manner not allowed under RCW 42.17A.430, by making a $3,000 contribution to HROC, and an alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.240 and WAC 390-16-236 for failing to report the $3,000 Surplus Funds expenditure to HROC.</p><p>Allegation Three: RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failing to accurately and timely report debts and obligations in the form of “orders placed” totaling $36,655.77 with Smith Phillips Dipietro Advertising for advertising and related expenses.</p><p>Allegation Four: Violation of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failing to accurately and timely report two Summary, Full Report Receipts and Expenditures (PDC Form C-4) reports during Rep. Johnson’s 2016 campaign.</p><p>Based on staff’s findings, staff determined that in this instance, the failure to timely file Surplus Funds account C-4 reports, and the failure to timely file two campaign C-4 reports does not amount to an actual violation warranting further investigation.</p><p>On July 8, 2019, Rep. Johnson submitted a signed Statement of Understanding acknowledging a violation of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failing to timely report orders placed totaling $36,655.77.</p><p>On July 8, 2019, Rep. Johnson paid a $150 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule) for the violation.

(AUG 2017)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240, RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - Statewide<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed by Glen Morgan on August 22, 2017. The complaint alleged that Myron (Mike) Kreidler, the incumbent Washington State Insurance Commissioner and a candidate for re-election to that office in 2016, may have violated Chapter 42.17A RCW as detailed below. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the responses provided by Mike Kreidler; queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and reviewed the Candidate Registrations (C-1 reports), Monetary Contributions reports (C-3 reports), and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) filed by the 2016 Friends of Mike Kreidler Campaign (Campaign) to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. <br><br>As noted in the letter to the complainant, a number of the allegations listed in the complaint concerned information disclosed on amended C-3 and C-4 reports filed by the Campaign. Staff’s review of the initial and amended C-3 and C-4 reports filed by the Campaign confirmed a good faith effort was made to comply with the PDC reporting requirements for the 2016 election. Staff found that the Campaign filed 22 amended C-3 reports and 39 amended C-4 reports dating back to 2004, demonstrating a good faith effort to provide additional and/or updated disclosure information as the Campaign became aware of it. <br><br>Staff did note there were expenditures made by the Campaign, either as reimbursements to individuals or volunteers, or payments made to a consultant or vendor for which it appears a more detailed description and possibly a sub-vendor breakdown likely should have been provided. At the request of staff, the Campaign amended their reports to provide additional detailed disclosures and bring the 2016 Campaign into compliance, which included filing an amended C-4 report disclosing the station by station breakdown for the $48,000 expenditure made to Cerillion N4 Partners for a Cable TV Buy. Staff would classify these issues as reporting discrepancies which are minor or technical in nature, and does not believe the violations rise to the level of any enforcement action. <br><br>The issues above are mitigated by the fact that the Campaign was in frequent contact with PDC staff throughout the 2016 election in order to comply with the reporting requirements, and timely filed the overwhelming majority of the initially filed C-3 and C-4 reports. In addition, the Campaign disclosed receiving more than $130,000 in contributions received and spent more than $120,000 in expenditures. <br><br>PDC staff found no evidence of a material violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance. However, staff has reminded the Campaign to provide a more detailed breakdown for expenditures made to reimburse individuals or payments made to consultants or vendors, including the sub-vendor and TV station breakdown, in the future. In addition, please be aware of the changes to the disclosure of debt and other reporting requirements as part of the passage of ESHB 2938 (2018). <br><br>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/246610.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "24661 Kreidler Mike Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/852/24661%20Kreidler%20Mike%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Reminder"}, {"file_name" : "24661 Kreidler Mike Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/852/24661%20Kreidler%20Mike%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "24661 Kreidler Mike Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/852/24661%20Kreidler%20Mike%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "24661 Kreidler Mike Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}]06/07/2019 02:52:43 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The eight legislative candidates included State Representatives Thomas Dent, Mary Dye, Joel Kretz, Mathew Manweller, Robert McCaslin, Joseph Schmick, Matt Shea and Shelly Short all eight candidates participated in the joint fundraiser event.</p><p>Mr. Short stated an accountant opened a bank account as required by the PDC, made <i>“an estimated guess”</i> concerning the total costs of the conducting the joint fundraiser, and requested each of the eight candidates benefitting from the event to share the costs. He estimated the event costs would total $4,000 so each candidate wrote a check for $500, which was deposited $4,000 into the MTM bank account. </p><p>Mr. Short stated the joint fundraising event raised a total of $11,400, that the event qualified as a <i>“low-cost fundraiser”</i> since the cost to attend was $25 per person, and ended up costing $5,000. The net proceeds totaled $10,400 which was divided equally between the 8 candidates. MTM wrote a $1,300 check to each of the eight legislative candidates. Seven of the eight candidates that participated in the event disclosed receiving a $1,3000 contribution that was attributed to MTM, rather than disclosing "Proceeds from a low cost fundraiser." The Committee to Elect Mary Dye properly disclosed the $1,3000 received from the event as “Proceeds from a low-cost fundraiser” received on August 1, 2016.</p><p>Based on these findings, no evidence was provided or found indicating that March to the Majority met the definition of a political committee and does not warrant further investigation, and the PDC dismissed the allegations.. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/254980.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "25498 March To the Majority Complaint With Addendums.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/799/25498%20March%20To%20the%20Majority%20Complaint%20With%20Addendums.pdf", "description" : "25498 March To the Majority Complaint With Addendums.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "25498 March To The Majority Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/799/25498%20March%20To%20The%20Majority%20Response.pdf", "description" : "25498 March To The Majority Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "25498 March To The Majority Complaint Supplement.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/799/25498%20March%20To%20The%20Majority%20Complaint%20Supplement.pdf", "description" : "25498 March To The Majority Complaint Supplement.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "March to the Majority PAC Complaint Return Ltr (Smith) PDC Case 25498.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/799/March%20to%20the%20Majority%20PAC%20Complaint%20Return%20Ltr%20%28Smith%29%20PDC%20Case%2025498.pdf", "description" : "March to the Majority Complaint Return with Reminder (Smith) PDC Case 25498", "document_type" : ""}]05/16/2019 10:19:45 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

In addition, (1) many of the late reports included limited direct contributions to candidates or ballot measures, and (2) the Committee filed reports in 2017 and 2018 timely during critical periods before and after an election. The Kitsap County Democrat Central Committee completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) and paid a $300 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 for failing to timely file the C-4 reports in 2016. The $300 penalty assessed in this matter resolves the allegations listed in your complaint. </p><p>PDC staff is also reminding the Committee to properly report expenditures and debts on C-4 reports, including providing proper expenditure descriptions.

(EY 2017, SEP 2017)RCW 29B.30.050/42.17A.320, RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205, RCW 29B.25.120/42.17A.255Case Closed with Written WarningPolitical Committee - Business<p>The complaint alleged the Monroe Street Business Association and Gary Jarvis may have violated RCW 42.17A.205 by failing to register as a political committee, RCW 42.17A.255 by failing to report an independent expenditure, and RCW 42.17A.320 by failing to list sponsor identification on political advertising.</p><p>Patrick Keegan stated he purchased the billboard on behalf the Monroe Street Business Association, which is why he listed the organization as the sponsor. Keegan also stated he was unaware of the requirements of political advertising, and had relied on legal counsel from Dunn & Black, P.S. Once he was educated on the definition of political advertising and independent expenditures, on November 13, 2019, Keegan sent a C-6 Independent Spending and Electioneering Communications form to the PDC, reporting a $5,100 independent expenditure against three Spokane City Council members (Breean Beggs, Candace Mumm, and Karen Stratton) for a billboard from November 2016 to June 2017. </p><p>Based on information provided in the complaint and responses, the Monroe Street Business Association did not meet the definition of a political committee as defined in RCW 42.17A.005(37). Based on these findings, staff has determined in this instance the alleged failure to register as a political committee, report an independent expenditure, and list sponsor identification on political advertising does not amount to a violation warranting further investigation. </p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d) Patrick Keegan will receive a formal written warning concerning the requirement to report independent expenditures that support or oppose candidates.

The complaint alleged that Mariah Bettise (Friends of Mariah Bettise) may have violated RCW 42.17A.235, .265, .205, .220, .320, .255 for failure to timely and accurately disclose contributions, expenditures, books of account, committee registration, and sponsor ID.<br><br>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), Mariah Bettise (Friends of Mariah Bettise) will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely file C-3 and C-4 reports. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Mariah Bettise will file timely and complete C-3 and C-4 reports, specifically those occurring during the accelerated reporting schedule prior to and after any election in which her name appears on the ballot. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.<br><br>Based on these facts, staff has determined that in this instance, failure to timely file C-3 disclosing a candidate loan and other small contributions and C-4 reports with a small amount of expenditures, does not amount to an actual material violation warranting further investigation. The PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/345960.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "34596 Bettise Mariah Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/423/34596%20Bettise%20Mariah%20Response.pdf", "description" : "34596 Bettise Mariah Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "34596 Bettise Mariah Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/423/34596%20Bettise%20Mariah%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "34596 Bettise Mariah Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "34596 Bettise Mariah Formal Warning Ltr.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/423/34596%20Bettise%20Mariah%20Formal%20Warning%20Ltr.pdf", "description" : "34596 Bettise Mariah Formal Warning Ltr.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "Complaint Attach - Mariah Bettise - Exhibit A - Illegally late reported C3 and C4 reports.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/423/Complaint%20Attach%20-%20Mariah%20Bettise%20-%20Exhibit%20A%20-%20Illegally%20late%20reported%20C3%20and%20C4%20reports.pdf", "description" : "Complaint Attach - Mariah Bettise - Exhibit A - Illegally late reported C3 and C4 reports.pdf", "document_type" : null}]12/23/2019 03:04:20 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Staff also noted that there were some reports that were reported late by the Committee. However, these deficiencies are mitigated by the fact that the Committee showed a good faith effort by amending their reports during this period to disclose additional information in the interest of transparency. Additionally, staff found on prior violations against the Committee. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that the deficiencies found based on the review of the complaint did not warrant further investigation. However, staff issued a reminder to the Committee regarding the importance of filing timely and accurate contribution and expenditure reports in the future. <br>Accordingly, the PDC dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/270170.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "27017 Walsh Brian Response Regarding MCDCC Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/712/27017%20Walsh%20Brian%20Response%20Regarding%20MCDCC%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "27017 Walsh Brian Response Regarding MCDCC Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "27017 Mason County Democratic Central Committee Response With Attachments.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/712/27017%20Mason%20County%20Democratic%20Central%20Committee%20Response%20With%20Attachments.pdf", "description" : "27017 Mason County Democratic Central Committee Response With Attachments.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "27017 Mason County Democratic Central Committee Complaint With Attachments.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/712/27017%20Mason%20County%20Democratic%20Central%20Committee%20Complaint%20With%20Attachments.pdf", "description" : "27017 Mason County Democratic Central Committee Complaint With Attachments.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "27017 Mason County Democratic Central Committee Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/712/27017%20Mason%20County%20Democratic%20Central%20Committee%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]09/11/2019 11:47:55 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The complaint alleged that the Bye Sheriff Urquhart Campaign (Respondent), sponsors of a GoFundMe account and a Facebook Page, may have violated RCW 42.17A.205 for failure to timely file a Political Committee Registration report (C-1pc report); and RCW 42.17A.235 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign. <br>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the responses provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. <br><br>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to register as a political committee and report contributions and expenditures does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation. <br><br>However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the Bye Sheriff Urquhart Campaign will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely register as a political committee and report contributions and expenditures, and for exceeding anonymous contribution limits. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that the Bye Sheriff Urquhart Campaign timely registers future campaigns and reports contribution and expenditure activity, and to only accept contributions within statutory limitations. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. <br><br>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/270290.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "27029 Bye Sherrif Urquhart Campaign Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/710/27029%20Bye%20Sherrif%20Urquhart%20Campaign%20Response.pdf", "description" : "27029 Bye Sherrif Urquhart Campaign Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "27029 Bye Sherrif Urquhart Campaign Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/710/27029%20Bye%20Sherrif%20Urquhart%20%20Campaign%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "27029 Bye Sherrif Urquhart Campaign Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "27029 Bye Sheriff Urquhart Campaign Warning Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/710/27029%20Bye%20Sheriff%20Urquhart%20Campaign%20Warning%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]12/17/2019 09:59:28 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(NOV 17)WAC 390-16-238, WAC 390-16-205, WAC 390-16-037, RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240, RCW 29B.55.010/42.17A.700, RCW 29B.25.020/42.17A.205, RCW 29B.40.090/42.17A.430, RCW 29B.40.080/42.17A.425, RCW 29B.55.030/42.17A.710, RCW 29B.40.130/42.17A.445, RCW 29B.40.170/42.17A.465Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Statewide<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint Glen Morgan filed on November 10, 2017. The complaint alleged that Jeff Sprung, a 2016 candidate for the office of Washington State Auditor, may have violated several provisions of Chapter 42.17A RCW as detailed below. <br> </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the responses provided by Mr. Sprung; queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database; and reviewed the Candidate Registrations (C-1 reports), Monetary Contributions reports (C-3 reports), and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) filed by the 2016 Friends of Jeff Sprung Campaign (Campaign) to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. <br><br>Staff noted the Campaign made expenditures either as reimbursements to individuals or volunteers, or payments made to a consultant or vendor for which it appears a more detailed description breakdown including sub-vendor information likely should have been provided. The response provided by the Campaign identified several items where the number of items printed should have been disclosed on the Schedule A to C-4 reports. <br><br>At the request of staff, the Campaign filed a number of amended reports disclosing additional detailed contribution and expenditure information to bring the 2016 Campaign into compliance with the reporting requirements. The amended information disclosed on the C-4 reports included the number of items printed for political advertising, and the breakdown of sub-vendors utilized by the Campaign and the amounts attributable to each. Staff has classified these issues as reporting discrepancies which are minor or technical in nature, and do not rise to the level of enforcement action. <br><br>Jeff Sprung was a first-time candidate for public office in 2016, seeking election to a high-profile Statewide Office in which his Campaign disclosed receiving $283,196 in total contributions received and expenditures made. <br><br>PDC staff found no evidence of a violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance. <br><br>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Jeff Sprung will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to accurately and completely disclose committee officers on the Candidate Registration (C-1) and to accurately and completely report debts and obligations on Summary Full Campaign Contributions and Expenditures reports (C-4 reports). The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. In addition, Jeff Sprung will be made aware of the changes to the disclosure of debt and other reporting requirements as part of the passage of ESHB 2938 (2018). <br><br>Furthermore, PDC staff is reminding Jeff Sprung about the importance of timely, accurately, and completely disclosing personal financial affairs on the Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report), including assets and customers of entities in which he holds an office, directorship, partnership interest, or ownership interest of ten percent or more. PDC staff expects timely, accurate, and complete disclosure of personal financial affairs in the future. <br><br>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). <br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/275630.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "27563 Sprung Jeff Complaint With Attachments.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/649/27563%20Sprung%20Jeff%20Complaint%20With%20Attachments.pdf", "description" : "27563 Sprung Jeff Complaint With Attachments.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "27563 Sprung Jeff Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/649/27563%20Sprung%20Jeff%20Response.pdf", "description" : "27563 Sprung Jeff Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "27563 Sprung Jeff Warning Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/649/27563%20Sprung%20Jeff%20Warning%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]02/07/2020 05:10:52 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

Based on that information, the PDC dismissed the allegations against the 7th Legislative District Republican Party in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/277140.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "7th District Republican Party Complaint Return Letter (Smith) PDC Case 27714.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/635/7th%20District%20Republican%20Party%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20%28Smith%29%20PDC%20Case%2027714.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "27714 7th District Republicans Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/635/27714%207th%20District%20Republicans%20Response.pdf", "description" : "27714 7th District Republicans Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "27714 7th District Republicans Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/635/27714%207th%20District%20Republicans%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "27714 7th District Republicans Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}]07/01/2019 05:45:23 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

Regarding the allegation related to the Campaign Registration report, staff found no evidence provided to substantiate the allegation that changes to the Committee officers occurred that would require amending the Committee's C-1pc in 2016. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that the Committee was not required to amend its C-1pc to report changes in its officers, and even if the Committee was deemed to be under the full reporting option during 2016 because it failed to file a C-1pc selecting the mini-reporting option, the Committee was not required to file C-3 and C-4 reports during 2016 election year because of its inactivity.</p><p>Staff reminded the Committee officers about the importance of filing timely and accurate Committee Registration (C-1pc) in future years, including the requirement in WAC 390-16-115(4) for filers under the Mini-Reporting Option to "file a new C-1pc between January 1st and January 31st for each year in which the committee intends to use the mini reporting system."</p><p>Accordingly, the staff dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/281090.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "28109 9th Legislative District Democrats Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/608/28109%209th%20Legislative%20District%20Democrats%20Response.pdf", "description" : "28109 9th Legislative District Democrats Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "28109 9th Legislative District Democrats Complaint Return Letter .pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/608/28109%209th%20Legislative%20District%20Democrats%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20.pdf", "description" : "28109 9th Legislative District Democrats Complaint Return Letter .pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "9th District Democrats Complaint .pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/608/9th%20District%20Democrats%20Complaint%20.pdf", "description" : "9th District Democrats Complaint .pdf", "document_type" : null}]09/21/2020 11:04:50 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The complaint alleged that Everett Firefighters for Citizen Safety (Sponsored by IAFF Local 46) [the Committee], a single election political committee in support of Judy Tuohy for Mayor of Everett, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign; RCW 42.17A.240 for failure to accurately and completely disclose debts and obligations; and RCW 42.17A.305 for failure to accurately and completely file Independent Spending & Electioneering Communications reports (C-6 reports), disclosing electioneering communications in support of Candidate Tuohy.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Committee; the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the Committee timely filed its C-3, C-4, and C-6 reports during the 2017 election campaign, disclosing all of its financial activity in good faith. As the C-4 and C-6 reports require different information and levels of detail, it created an appearance that the Committee had received funds and made expenditures directly from its bank account, when in fact there was no activity through the Committee’s account until after the election.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failing to report the dates that debts were incurred and pledges were made on the C-4 as the dates that expenditures were made and funding was received on the C-6, does not amount to an actual violation warranting further investigation.</p><p>PDC staff is reminding Everett Firefighters for Citizen Safety (Sponsored by IAFF Local 46) about the importance of accurately tracking and reporting the dates that expenditures advanced by agents of the committee were made, ensuring that these dates are reflected properly on both C-4 and C-6 reports. In the future, PDC staff expects consistent reporting of dates between C-4 and C-6 reports so that the public may follow the information concerning debts and pledges on the C-4 reports to the expenditures and funding sources on the C-6 reports. </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/279950.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "27995 Everett Firefighters For Citizen Safety Complaint With Attachments.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/615/27995%20Everett%20Firefighters%20For%20Citizen%20Safety%20Complaint%20With%20Attachments.pdf", "description" : "27995 Everett Firefighters For Citizen Safety Complaint With Attachments.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "27995 Everett Firefighters For Citizen Safety Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/615/27995%20Everett%20Firefighters%20For%20Citizen%20Safety%20Response.pdf", "description" : "27995 Everett Firefighters For Citizen Safety Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "27995 Everett Firefighters for Citizen Safety Reminder Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/615/27995%20Everett%20Firefighters%20for%20Citizen%20Safety%20Reminder%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Reminder"}]06/27/2019 09:00:30 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

(NOV 17)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240, RCW 29B.40.090/42.17A.430Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - Legislative<p>On November 30, 2017, the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) received a complaint alleging that Michael Chapman (Respondent), a candidate for State Representative in the 24th Legislative District, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 by failing to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports, including the failure to properly report the purpose of expenditures, as required by RCW 42.17A.240, and WAC 390-16-037 and WAC 390-16-205 for failure to timely and accurately report debt. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the complaint and determined that there were expenditures made by the Campaign either to a vendor or consultant for which a more detailed explanation or description should have been provided. Staff further noted that some of the alleged unreported obligations/orders/debts should have been reported on the reports covering the reporting period(s) immediately before they were paid. However, the aforementioned shortcomings were mitigated by the fact that the respondent amended all his 2016 C-4 reports to show the breakdown of expenditures paid to his consultant. Additionally, staff determined that most of the alleged late C-3 and C-4 reports were filed timely or were not required to be filed. </p><p>Based on the above findings, staff determined that the respondent's failure to file some reports in a timely manner does not amount to a violation warranting further investigation. Staff also determined that the respondent had no prior violations. </p><p>Accordingly, the PDC dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/282400.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Complaint Attach - MiCh - Exhibit A - Illegally late reported C3 and C4 reports.xlsx", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/598/Complaint%20Attach%20-%20MiCh%20-%20Exhibit%20A%20-%20Illegally%20late%20reported%20C3%20and%20C4%20reports.xlsx", "description" : "Complaint Attach - MiCh - Exhibit A - Illegally late reported C3 and C4 reports.xlsx", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "282340 Complaint Chapman Michael.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/598/282340%20Complaint%20Chapman%20Michael.pdf", "description" : "282340 Complaint Chapman Michael.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "Complaint Attach - MiCh - Exhibit B - Illegal failure to report debt.xlsx", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/598/Complaint%20Attach%20-%20MiCh%20-%20Exhibit%20B%20-%20Illegal%20failure%20to%20report%20debt.xlsx", "description" : "Complaint Attach - MiCh - Exhibit B - Illegal failure to report debt.xlsx", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "28240 Chapman Mike Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/598/28240%20Chapman%20Mike%20Response.pdf", "description" : "28240 Chapman Mike Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "Complaint Attach - MiCh - Exhibit C - Illegal failure to break down expenditures.xlsx", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/598/Complaint%20Attach%20-%20MiCh%20-%20Exhibit%20C%20-%20Illegal%20failure%20to%20break%20down%20expenditures.xlsx", "description" : "Complaint Attach - MiCh - Exhibit C - Illegal failure to break down expenditures.xlsx", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "28240 Chapman Michael Complaint Return Letter...pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/598/28240%20Chapman%20Michael%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter...pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]09/03/2019 02:38:47 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

Staff’s review of the initial and amended C-3 and C-4 reports filed by the Campaign indicated the Campaign made good faith effort was made to comply with the PDC reporting requirements for the 2016 election, and that dating back to 2009, the Campaign filed 40 amended C-3 reports and 20 amended C-4 reports providing additional and/or updated disclosure information as they became aware of it. <br><br>Staff does not believe that “recurring expenditures” such as the expenditures referenced in the letter were reportable as debts or obligations in 2016 unless the scheduled payment due date was not met by the Campaign and the current reporting period has ended. <br><br>Staff did note there were expenditures made by the Campaign, either as reimbursements to individuals or volunteers, or payments made to a consultant or vendor for which it appears a more detailed description and possibly a sub-vendor breakdown likely should have been provided. In addition, the Campaign acknowledged failing to timely disclose debts for three expenditures listed in the complaint as noted above for a portion of unpaid legal services; and the two printing orders with Overnight Printing; and to file amended C-4 reports disclosing the required sub-vendor information for expenditures made to Media Mandate. Staff would classify these issues as reporting discrepancies which are minor in nature which do not rise to the level of any enforcement action. <br><br>Those issues are mitigated by the facts the Campaign was in frequent contact with PDC staff throughout the 2016 election in order to comply with the reporting requirements, and timely filed the overwhelming majority of the initially filed C-3 and C-4 reports on or before the required due date. In addition, the Campaign disclosed receiving more than $1.395 million in total contributions received and spent more than $1.395 million in expenditures that included $512,630 in expenditures made for the 2016 election and $883,000 in transfers to the surplus funds account. <br><br>PDC staff found no evidence of a material violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into your complaints or pursuing enforcement action in this instance. However, staff has reminded the Campaign to provide a more detailed breakdown for expenditures made to reimburse individuals or payments made to consultants or vendors, including the sub-vendor breakdown, in the future. In addition, the Campaign was made aware of the changes to the disclosure of debt and other reporting requirements as part of the passage EHSB 2938. </p><p>Based on this information, PDC staff dismissed the remaining allegations listed in the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). <br> </p><p> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/282910.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "2016 Robert Ferguson Campaign Complaint Return Ltr with Reminder (Morgan) PDC Case 28291.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/593/2016%20Robert%20Ferguson%20Campaign%20Complaint%20Return%20Ltr%20with%20Reminder%20%28Morgan%29%20PDC%20Case%2028291.pdf", "description" : "2016 Robert Ferguson Campaign Complaint Return Ltr with Reminder (Morgan) PDC Case 28291", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "28291 Complaint Attach - Exhibit C - Illegal failure to break down expenditures.xlsx", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/593/28291%20Complaint%20Attach%20-%20Exhibit%20C%20-%20Illegal%20failure%20to%20break%20down%20expenditures.xlsx", "description" : "28291 Complaint Attach - Exhibit C - Illegal failure to break down expenditures.xlsx", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "28291 Ferguson Bob Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/593/28291%20Ferguson%20Bob%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "28291 Ferguson Bob Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "28291 Complaint Attach - Ferguson PDC Case - 08-060 fine and settlement.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/593/28291%20Complaint%20Attach%20-%20Ferguson%20PDC%20Case%20-%2008-060%20fine%20and%20settlement.pdf", "description" : "28291 Complaint Attach - Ferguson PDC Case - 08-060 fine and settlement.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "28291 Complaint Attach - Exhibit D - Illegal Failure to break down surplus expenditures.xlsx", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/593/28291%20Complaint%20Attach%20-%20Exhibit%20D%20-%20Illegal%20Failure%20to%20break%20down%20surplus%20expenditures.xlsx", "description" : "28291 Complaint Attach - Exhibit D - Illegal Failure to break down surplus expenditures.xlsx", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "28291 Complaint Attach - Exhibit A - Illegally late reported C3 and C4 reports.xlsx", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/593/28291%20Complaint%20Attach%20-%20Exhibit%20A%20-%20Illegally%20late%20reported%20C3%20and%20C4%20reports.xlsx", "description" : "28291 Complaint Attach - Exhibit A - Illegally late reported C3 and C4 reports.xlsx", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "28291 Ferguson Bob Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/593/28291%20Ferguson%20Bob%20Response.pdf", "description" : "28291 Ferguson Bob Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "28291 Complaint Attach - Exhibit B - Illegal failure to report debt.xlsx", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/593/28291%20Complaint%20Attach%20-%20Exhibit%20B%20-%20Illegal%20failure%20to%20report%20debt.xlsx", "description" : "28291 Complaint Attach - Exhibit B - Illegal failure to report debt.xlsx", "document_type" : null}]04/11/2019 01:44:07 PMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

The C-4 report disclosed Committee expenditures for a $2,320 expenditure made on January 10, 2018, to The Renton Bindery to print “door hangers/fliers”, and a $325 expenditure made to Boomers Photography for “poster creation/sitting fee.” </p><p>In addition, the Committee failed to timely file the 7-Day Pre-Special Election C-4 report which was required to have been filed no later than February 6, 2018, covering the period January 23 through February 5, 2018. The 7-Day Pre-Special Election C-4 report was filed by the Committee on March 8, 2018, 30 days late and 23 days after the February 13, 2018 special election had been held disclosing $1,502 in monetary contributions received, a $50 in-kind contribution for coffee, and $3,493 in expenditures made. The Committee expenditures included a $1,200 expenditure made on February 17, 2018 to Lamar Advertising for billboard advertisements that ran January 15 through February 11, 2018; five expenditures totaling $1,152 for sign waving and donuts for the sign waving event in support of the ballot propositions; and two expenditures made to the Logo House On February 1 and 10, 2018 totaling $798 for T-shirts.</p><p>On November 22, 2019, the Committee completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) and paid a $300 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 for failing to timely file the two pre-election C-4 reports referenced above. The $150 penalty assessed in this matter resolves the late filed 21-Day and 7-Day Pre-Special Election C-4 reports.</p><p>PDC staff’s review also found the Committee failed to timely file C-3 and C-4 reports covering the period May 1, 2014 through November 30, 2017. However, staff noted In addition, most of the contributors disclosed on the C-3 reports filed by the Committee during that period were for recurring contributions from district employees who contributed the same dollar amount every monththe majority of the committee’s reportable activities during that period were contributions received from Tahoma School District employees via monthly payroll withholdings for a future school bond or levy proposition. </p><p>Staff’s review of the facts also found that the Committee has: (1) no prior PDC violations, and worked diligently to file the missing reports and come into compliance; (2) acknowledged violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and paid a monetary civil penalty; (3) timely filed monthly C-3 and C-4 reports covering the period January 30, 2019 to present since registering as a 2020 Ballot Committee; and (4) fully cooperated with PDC staff. Based on these findings, staff has determined in this instance, the late filed reports do not warrant further investigation.</p><p>Staff noted that any delays in resolving this case were due to staff’s case load of outstanding complaints and legislative changes related to the PDC enforcement responsibilities, and not by any Committee actions.</p><p>PDC staff has reminded the Voice of Tahoma Education Committee to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports disclosing contribution and expenditure activities undertaken during the remainder of 2020 special election cycle, and into the future as required for a Ballot Committee in accordance with PDC statues, rules, and reporting requirements. The PDC has dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/30309300.000.000.00300.000.00false[{"file_name" : "30309 Voice of Tahoma Complaint Attachments.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/552/30309%20Voice%20of%20Tahoma%20Complaint%20Attachments.pdf", "description" : "30309 Voice of Tahoma Complaint Attachments.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "30309 Voice of Tahoma Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/552/30309%20Voice%20of%20Tahoma%20Response.pdf", "description" : "30309 Voice of Tahoma Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "30309 Voice of Tahoma Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/552/30309%20Voice%20of%20Tahoma%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "30309 Voice of Tahoma Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "Voice of Tahoma Education _ SoU.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/552/Voice%20of%20Tahoma%20Education%20_%20SoU.pdf", "description" : "Voice of Tahoma Education", "document_type" : "Statement of understanding"}, {"file_name" : "Voice of Tahoma Complaint Return Ltr with SOU and Reminder Cover Ltr (Bennett) PDC Case 30309.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/552/Voice%20of%20Tahoma%20Complaint%20Return%20Ltr%20with%20SOU%20and%20Reminder%20Cover%20Ltr%20%20%28Bennett%29%20PDC%20Case%2030309.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}][{"who" : "Voice of Tahoma Education", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2019-11-30", "amount" : 300.00, "description" : null, "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2019-11-22", "amount" : 300.00, "description" : "Paid"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]12/05/2019 05:49:18 PMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

The complaint alleged that Ann Rivers, incumbent State Senator in Legislative District 17 and candidate for re-election in 2016, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and 42.17A.240 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign during the 2016 primary and general elections.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Dan Brady on behalf of his client, Senator Ann Rivers; PDC Case #15-094; and the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Staff’s review of the Stipulation language from PDC Case #15-094 and Mr. Brady’s response to the allegations in the complaint, found evidence to suggest that Senator Rivers understands her statutory filing obligations and that her campaign did not intentionally file inaccurate reports or attempt to deprive the public of information related to her 2016 campaign.</p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely file a total of six additional C-3 and C-4 reports prior to the November 8, 2016 general election that were not considered in the Stipulation to Facts, Violations and Penalty accepted by the Commission on December 8, 2016, does not warrant further investigation or enforcement action.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).<br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/309200.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "30920 Rivers Ann AGO Notice of Results.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/516/30920%20Rivers%20Ann%20AGO%20Notice%20of%20Results.pdf", "description" : "30920 Rivers Ann AGO Notice of Results.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "Complaint Attach - Rivers-ExB.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/516/Complaint%20Attach%20-%20Rivers-ExB.pdf", "description" : "Complaint Attach - Rivers-ExB.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "30920 Rivers Ann Response with Attachments.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/516/30920%20Rivers%20Ann%20Response%20with%20Attachments.pdf", "description" : "30920 Rivers Ann Response with Attachments.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "Complaint Attach - Rivers-ExA.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/516/Complaint%20Attach%20-%20Rivers-ExA.pdf", "description" : "Complaint Attach - Rivers-ExA.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "30920 Rivers Ann Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/516/30920%20Rivers%20Ann%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "30920 Rivers Ann Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "30920 Rivers Ann Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/516/30920%20Rivers%20Ann%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Closed with no evidence of violation"}]07/01/2019 01:28:19 PMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The amount of outstanding debts and obligations disclosed by the Campaign included $61,286 in debts carried forward from the 2012 Campaign on the initial C-4 report for January of 2013, to a high of $109,779 in outstanding debts and obligations disclosed on the 21-Day Pre-Primary Election C-4 report. </span><span dir="ltr">In addition, staff’s review revealed that the Campaign substantially complied with the C-4 reporting requirements by timely filing the initial C-4 reports on the required due dates for the 2016 election cycle. </span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>Staff also reviewed the attached list provided by the complainant of the Campaign’s reporting of information related to reimbursements to individuals and the sub-vendor breakdown and determined that in many instances no additional information was needed.

the Campaign, Mr. Lloyd’s frequent communications with PDC staff concerning
filing questions both by telephone and by email, and the timeliness in which
the Campaign filed amended C-3 and C-4 reports indicated the Campaign made a
good faith effort to comply with the reporting requirements.</span><span> </span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>Staff noted that there were
expenditures made by the Campaign either as reimbursements to individuals or
payments made to a consultant or vendor for which it appears a more detailed

facts the Campaign: </span></div><div><span dir="ltr">(1) was in frequent contact with PDC throughout the 2016
election in order to comply with the reporting requirements; </span></div><div><span dir="ltr">(2) timely filed
the overwhelming majority of the initially filed C-3 and C-4 reports; and </span></div><div><span dir="ltr">(3) raised

the more expensive statewide elections in Washington State.</span><span> </span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>PDC staff found no evidence of a material violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into your complaints or pursuing enforcement action in this instance.

provide a more detailed breakdown for expenditures made to reimburse
individuals or payments made to consultants or vendors, including the

The complaint alleged that Michael E. Haas, Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney, may have violated RCW 42.17A.555 by using the public facilities of his office to assist his 2018 re-election campaign, in violation of RCW 42.17A.555. </p><p>The complaint alleged that for the past year Mr. Haas has pressured Julie St. Marie, Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecutor, to support him because “his opponent will fire her” if Mr. Haas is not re-elected. The complaint also alleged that Mr. Haas has pressured Ms. St. Marie to attend campaign functions, put his campaign sign in her yard, and display his campaign button. The complaint also stated that Ms. St. Marie feels uncomfortable because she is an “at will” employee, and Mr. Haas can fire her at any time. </p><p>Based on our findings, staff has determined that in this instance, there is insufficient evidence to support a finding of a material violation warranting further investigation.

The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that the Pacific County Democratic Central Committee will timely file accurate and complete C-3 and C-4 reports in future years, should the Committee become active again in accordance with PDC laws and rules. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. </p><p>Based on the above, the PDC has dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1)(a). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/333730.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "33373 Pacific County Democratic Central Committee Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/471/33373%20Pacific%20County%20Democratic%20Central%20Committee%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "33373 Pacific County Democratic Central Committee Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "33373 Pacific County Democratic Central Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/471/33373%20Pacific%20County%20Democratic%20Central%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "33373 Pacific County Democratic Central Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "33373 Pacific County Democratic Central Complaint Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/471/33373%20Pacific%20County%20Democratic%20Central%20Complaint%20Response.pdf", "description" : "33373 Pacific County Democratic Central Complaint Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}]04/07/2019 02:49:22 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(MAY 2018)RCW 29B.45.010/42.17A.555Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - Local<p>A complaint was filed against John Turner, an incumbent Walla Walla County Sheriff in 2018 who did not seek re-election to office, alleging he may have violated RCW 42.17A.555 by using Walla Walla Sheriff County facilities to support Mark Crider, as his replacement as a 2018 candidate for Walla Walla County Sheriff.</p><p>Mr. Turner stated that he did not use any Walla Walla County Sheriff’s Office resources or facilities to draft or produce the letter referenced in the complaint, including the use of his Sheriff’s Office computer, equipment, letterhead, stationary or postage. He stated:<i> “The letter in question was drafted on my personal computer using a letterhead which I created on a personal word document and then saved in a personally owned PDF software format...the letterhead I created uses the words “Office of the Sheriff,” uses other factual information, and uses the badge which I personally designed. I understand how a member of the public may think that this letter was drafted at work on a public computer, however this was not the case. As to working hours: this letter was drafted on my own time, not at work, and not at a public facility.”</i></p><p>Mr. Turner stated a copy of the letter was posted on the official Walla Walla County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page saying good-bye to him since he had recently announced that he was not seeking re-election to a third term as Sheriff. The Facebook post went on to thank him for his eight years of service, and included a copy of the letter that he sent electronically urging support for Mark Crider as his replacement.

The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on future Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/359360.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "35936 Padilla Marco Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/400/35936%20Padilla%20Marco%20Response.pdf", "description" : "35936 Padilla Marco Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "35936 Padilla Marco Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/400/35936%20Padilla%20Marco%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "35936 Padilla Marco Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "35936 Padilla Marco Complaint Attachments.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/400/35936%20Padilla%20Marco%20Complaint%20Attachments.pdf", "description" : "35936 Padilla Marco Complaint Attachments.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "PDC Case 35936 Marco Padilla close with warning.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/400/PDC%20Case%2035936%20Marco%20Padilla%20close%20with%20warning.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "PDC Case 35963 Marco Padilla Initial Hearing Results - Complaintant.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/400/PDC%20Case%2035963%20Marco%20Padilla%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-%20Complaintant.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "PDC Case 35963 Marco Padilla Initial Hearing Results - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/400/PDC%20Case%2035963%20Marco%20Padilla%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]04/08/2021 11:22:42 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaint alleges that the Truth for Washington, a political committee registered with the PDC, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.205 by failing to disclose a sponsoring committees name as part of the Committee Registration (C-1pc report); and (2) RCW 42.17.320 by failing to include the complete sponsor identification for independent expenditure advertisements undertaken in support of a candidate, and the party preference of the candidates featured in advertisements.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations listed in the complaint to determine whether a formal investigation or enforcement action is warranted. Staff reviewed the allegations listed in the complaint and the exhibits depicting the political advertisement, the C1pc report(s) filed by Truth for Washington, and the August 14, 2018 response letter from the Truth for Washington (by Orin Wells). </p><p>While the Truth for Washington failed to accurately report the sponsors name in the committee name on the C-1pc and in political advertisements, and to include the candidate(s) party preference, they did take corrective action for the final version of the advertisement prior to being aired on cable TV ad distribution. In addition, TFW also made a good faith effort of expeditiously amending their C1pc to reflect the sponsoring committee. </p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), this letter is a formal written warning for Truth for Washington concerning the importance of: (1) providing a complete sponsor identification and party preference of any candidate(s) featured on all future political advertisements, including independent expenditure advertisements; (2) timely amending the C-1pc report to include the name of a sponsor if the contributing committee or person meets the definition of a sponsor. This formal written warning covers our expectation that Truth for Washington will fully comply with the requirement listed above in the future. The Commission will consider this formal written warning if there are future PDC law or rule violations by the committee. </p><p>Based on the above review, the PDC has dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1)(a). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/387010.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "38701 Truth for Washington Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/312/38701%20Truth%20for%20Washington%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "38701 Truth for Washington Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "38701 Truth for WA Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/312/38701%20Truth%20for%20WA%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "38701 Truth for WA Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "38701 Truth for WA Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/312/38701%20Truth%20for%20WA%20Response.pdf", "description" : "38701 Truth for WA Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}]04/05/2019 06:23:13 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(JAN 18)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsCandidate - Legislative<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed by Dmitri Iglitzin on February 8, 2018. The complaint alleged that Tim Sheldon, an incumbent State Senator and a candidate seeking re-election to that office in 2014 and 2018, violated RCW 42.17A. 235 and .240 by failing to timely file the Monetary Contributions reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports). The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) notified PDC staff that their office would not be taking action against Senator Sheldon concerning the Citizen Action Notice filed with their office. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations listed in the complaint in light of PDC laws and rules in order to determine whether a formal investigation or enforcement action is warranted. Staff reviewed the Monetary Contributions reports (C-3 reports), and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), filed by the Tim Sheldon Campaign (Campaign), and the July 20, 2018 response letter from Senator Sheldon. </p><p>The 2014 Tim Sheldon Campaign received approximately $495,000 in contributions, and made expenditures totaling more than $480,000. While the Campaign failed to timely file the three campaign finance reports listed above, the December 2012 and July 2013 late filed C-4 reports are beyond the five-year statute of limitations and were filed almost 16 months prior to the 2014 general election. In addition, the $500 contribution that was deposited and reported late, was the only allegation concerning the 2018 Campaign, and represented less than .5% of the total contributions received.</p><p>PDC staff found no evidence of a material violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance.

The statute and rules primarily apply to the employer/contractors, but also prohibit the union and the employer/contractors from discriminating against a union member who does not make political contributions.</span></p><div><br></div><p><span>Staff found that the current authorization form does not conform to the requirements in RCW 42.17A.495 and WAC 390-17-100, and that many of the employer/contractors have not been sending out the required annual notification to employees who have funds withheld for PAC contributions, as required by WAC 390-17-110. The employer/contractors rely on the union to provide an authorization form that complies with the law and rules. Staff made it clear what changes need to be made to the written authorization and annual notification. The union, working with and on behalf of the employer/contractors, has developed an authorization form and annual notification that meets the requirement of the statute and rules. The respondents have stated that they will incorporate the changes to the authorization form and annual notification.</span></p><div><br></div><div><span>Staff determined that, in this instance, the failure of the 35 employer/contractor respondents to fully comply with the law does not amount to an actual violation warranting further investigation. However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), the 35 employer/contractor respondents received a formal written warning concerning: (1) their failure to obtain a proper written request from employees before withholding wages or salaries for contributions to Plumbers & Steamfitters Local 598 PAC; and (2) their failure to provide an annual notification to employees who have requested payroll deductions for political contributions of their right to withdraw their request at any time, and of the prohibition against discrimination by the employer and the union for not contributing. The employer/contractors were informed that the Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. Based on this information, the PDC found that no further action is warranted and dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</span></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div></div>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/436850.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "43685 Fluid Controls & Components, Inc.

The complaint alleged that Sharlett Mena, a candidate for State Representative in Legislative District 29, in the August 4, 2020 primary election, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing expenditures undertaken by the Campaign.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Dorian Waller, Campaign Consultant with Archway Consulting, on behalf of the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Sharlett Mena is a first-time candidate, with a volunteer treasurer, and has not previously been found in violation of the PDC campaign finance laws or rules. Although Ms. Mena employed the services of a consulting firm, Mr. Waller was not involved in the campaign reporting obligations. It appears that the reporting discrepancies were caused by a general lack of knowledge regarding the requirements for the disclosure of campaign expenses and not meant to conceal campaign activity from the public.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately report a small number of expenditures, does not amount to a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.</p><p>PDC staff reminded Sharlett Mena about the importance of the timely and accurate filing of campaign expenditures, specifically the detailed descriptions required for expenses, on future PDC reports in accordance with the statutes and rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/743900.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "74390 Mena Sharlett Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3664/74390%20Mena%20Sharlett%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "74390 Mena Sharlett Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/3664/74390%20Mena%20Sharlett%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]10/26/2020 09:51:03 AMPDC staff dismissed for no violation, but reminded the respondent of the applicable law and to exercise caution in the future.

(EY 18; Aug 18)RCW 29B.30.050/42.17A.320, RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235Case Closed with ReminderCandidate - Legislative<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed on August 4, 2018. The complaint alleged that Christopher Thobaben, a candidate for State Representative in the 18th Legislative District in 2018, may have violated; (1) RCW 42.17A.235 and RCW 42.17A.240 by failing to timely and accurately file Summary Full Reporting of Contribution and Expenditure Reports (C-4 report) disclosing contribution and expenditure activities, including in-kind contributions, debts or other obligations; and (2) RCW 42.17A320 by failing to include the proper sponsor identification on political advertising sponsored by his Campaign.</p><p>In his response, Mr. Thobaben stated that he had inadvertently failed to identify his participation in the August 2018 primary election inside of his ORCA (Online Reporting of Campaign Activity) dataset and therefore missed the deadline for July reports.

(JUN'23, EY'23)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240Resolved through Statement of Understanding (SOU)Political Committee - Education<ul><li>Allegation: Violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 from 2018-2023 by failing to disclose information about in-kind contributions</li><li><p class="MsoNormal"><u><span>Summary and Resolution</span></u></p></li><li>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Morgan’s complaint highlighted multiple instances from
2018 to 2023 where WEA-PAC did not include adequate descriptions of in-kind
contributions received from Washington Education Association. In addition to
monetary contributions from WEA members, WEA-PAC receives significant in-kind
contributions from WEA that sustains its operation. No evidence was found that
WEA-PAC reported in bad faith or intentionally provided inadequate descriptions
of the in-kind contributions it received from WEA. WEA-PAC worked cooperatively
with PDC staff to understand the level of detail being requested by staff. WEA-PAC
then filed amended reports as instructed by staff for 2024 and 2025 and agreed
to continue filing with the same level of detail, even if not explicitly
required by statute or rule.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>WEA-PAC
has completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU), without a civil penalty, in
accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule),
acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 and WAC 390-16-037 for not adequately
reporting descriptions of in-kind contributions received beginning April 1,
2021. The SOU resolves the allegations made by Morgan in this case, and based
on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW
29B.60.020. Staff expects WEA-PAC to provide compliant in-kind
contribution descriptions in the future.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>Edwards’
complaint concerned one C-3 report disclosing $2,200, filed six days late and
one C-4 report filed one day late. The alleged failure to disclose the number
of items purchased for a purchase of umbrellas did not involve political
advertising and therefore, does not appear to be reportable. In this instance, filing one C-3 report
six days late and one C-4 report one day late does not amount to a finding of a
violation that warrants further investigation.</p>
<span>Based on this information, the PDC dismissed
this matter in accordance with RCW 29B.60.020.</span></li></ul>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/1393840.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "139384 Response to Complaint (1).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5965/139384%20Response%20to%20Complaint%20%281%29.pdf", "description" : "139384 Response to Complaint (1)", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "139384 WEA-PAC(1) SOU signed.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5965/139384%20WEA-PAC%281%29%20SOU%20signed.pdf", "description" : "139384 WEA-PAC(1) SOU signed", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "139384 Response to Complaint (2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5965/139384%20Response%20to%20Complaint%20%282%29.pdf", "description" : "139384 Response to Complaint (2)", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "139384 WEA-PAC (1) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5965/139384%20WEA-PAC%20%281%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "139384 Initial Hearing Results - Respondent.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5965/139384%20Initial%20Hearing%20Results%20-%20Respondent.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "139384 WEA-PAC(1) Resolution.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5965/139384%20WEA-PAC%281%29%20Resolution.pdf", "description" : "139384 WEA-PAC(1) Resolution", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "139384 Washington Education Association (WEA-PAC) (2).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/5965/139384%20Washington%20Education%20Association%20%28WEA-PAC%29%20%282%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]05/12/2026 05:04:41 PM2023Respondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

The complaint alleged that III Branches Law, a law firm making independent expenditures and electioneering communications supporting four candidates in the 2018 election, and its principal Joan Mell, may have violated RCW 42.17A.255 and RCW 42.17A.260 by failing to timely and accurately file independent expenditures of one hundred dollars or more within five days of the expenditure (C-6 reports) and RCW 42.17A.255, .260 and .305 by failing to electronically submit reports within 24 hours, disclosing electioneering communications with a value of one thousand dollars or more within 60 days before the primary election (C-6).</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations, the C-6 reports filed by III Branches Law, and the response from attorney Kenneth S.

The complaint alleged that Derek Young, incumbent and candidate for Pierce County Council Position 7 in the 2018 election, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Derek Young; and the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>Although the 2018 Derek Young Campaign submitted C-3 and C-4 reports disclosing campaign contribution and expenditure activities late, the campaign responded promptly and filed the missing reports. Based on these findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely file the postprimary C-4 and six C-3 reports disclosing a small number of contributions mostly from individual donors, does not amount to an actual violation warranting further investigation. </p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), Derek Young received a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately disclosure of all contribution and expenditures. The formal written warning included staff’s expectation that Derek Young timely and accurately files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures, during the accelerated reporting periods prior to and after each election in which his name appears on the ballot. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/425440.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "42544 Young Derek Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1957/42544%20Young%20Derek%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "42544 Young Derek Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "42544 Young Derek Formal Warning Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1957/42544%20Young%20Derek%20Formal%20Warning%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "42544 Young Derek Formal Warning Letter.pdf", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "42544 Young Derek Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1957/42544%20Young%20Derek%20Response.pdf", "description" : "42544 Young Derek Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}]07/01/2019 01:58:13 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The complaints alleged that the Pierce County Democratic Central Committee (PCDCC), a bona fide political party committee may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 by failing to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign; and (2) RCW 42.17A.205 by failing to timely file an amended Committee Registration (C-1pc report) within ten days disclosing any material change in the committee information.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations listed in the two complaints filed; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Dominick Bergeron, former Treasurer for Pierce County Democratic Central Committee; the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Based on staff’s review, the alleged late and incomplete filed C-3 and C-4 reports cited in the two complaints were primarily caused by a Committee reorganization and changes in officers, but we noted that the Committee implemented additional internal controls to ensure compliance by creating an oversight committee, by conducting an internal audit, and additional training. These steps were taken, in part, by the Pierce County Democratic Central Committee to comply with the provisions of the settlement agreement. </p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately file 19 filed C-3 and C-4 reports, including amendments, mostly disclosed little monetary activity, or were filed as a result of an internal audit process conducted by PCDCC, and therefore does not warrant further investigation or enforcement action.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), the PCDCC received a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contributions reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) disclosing contribution and expenditure activities and failure to timely file an amended Committee Registration (C-1pc report) disclosing material changes. The formal written warning included staff’s expectation that PCDCC timely file accurate and complete C-3, C-4 and C-1pc reports in future years in accordance with PDC laws and rules.

20244362812/01/201812/03/201808/13/2020Walter SmithMatthew SheaShea, Matthew: Alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.430 & .445 by donating surplus funds to unregistered charitable organizations and personal use of surplus funds. (EY 18 Dec 18)RCW 29B.40.090/42.17A.430, RCW 29B.40.130/42.17A.445Resolved through Statement of Understanding (SOU)Candidate - Legislative<p>A complaint was filed against Matt Shea, an incumbent State Representative in the 4th Legislative District, and a candidate for re-election to that office in 2014, 2016, and 2018, alleging violations RCW 42.17A.430 by making expenditures from the Matt Shea Surplus Funds account for unauthorized uses or purposes.</p><p>After PDC staff conducted a preliminary review and assessment of the facts, PDC staff opened a formal investigation and held an Initial Hearing (Case Status Review Hearing) for Matt Shea for this case and PDC Case 43628 on February 14, 2019, pursuant to RCW 42.17A.755, and WACs 390-37-060 and 390-37-071.</p><p>Concerning the Matt Shea Surplus Funds expenditures to charitable organization, Mark Lamb, legal counsel for Matt Shea stated that many bona fide charities, like some churches or groups that do not solicit donations in Washington State, so they don’t need not register with the Washington Secretary of State’s Office in accordance with RCW 19.09.020(2). He stated that the plain reading and common-sense interpretation of the “statute is that surplus funds may only be donated to charities that, if the statute requires them to register, are registered. All of the organizations listed are bona fide 501(c)(3) charitable organizations."</p><p>Mr. Lamb stated that the three charitable organizations identified in the complaints are 501(c)(3) charitable organizations and added that Daniels’ Prayer Ministry is a church affiliated (entity) and the other two entities did not solicit contributions generally in Washington State and thus were not required to register under RCW 19.09." He stated that three of the surplus fund expenditures that were made in June of 2019 to Office Depot and Sears were for office equipment and supplies for Rep. Shea’s Legislative District office “where he conducts legislative business while in district.” </p><p>Mr. Lamb stated the treasurers understanding of surplus funds was that she was required to transfer remaining campaign funds into the Matt Shea Surplus Funds Account as soon as possible after the primary or general election for which they had been solicited was held. He stated the Treasurer made campaign-related expenditures using surplus fund “in subsequent years with the understanding that such expenses were for the same office."</p><p>Mr. Lamb stated that the campaign regrets “this administrative error and, as I indicated to you in our conversation today, seeks guidance as to how to amend and correct this issue and appreciate sincerely your offer to assist in the same. However, because the items listed below are campaign expenses, it is our position that there is no need to respond to the requests for additional details on them as that request was to determine compliance with 42.17A.430(7)."</p><p>Mr. Lamb stated the surplus funds expenditures made during calendar year 2014 and in the early part of calendar year 2015, were outside the five-year statute of limitations in accordance with PDC statutes and rules, but that those expenditures generally fall under the same category.</p><p>Between 2015 through 2018, the Matt Shea Surplus Funds Account acknowledged making expenditures using surplus funds that should have been made out of the 2016 and 2018 Re-election Committees to Elect Matt Shea. Those expenditures made from the Matt Shea Surplus Funds Account for 2016 and 2018 re-election campaign activities are listed in the complaint return letter and Report of Investigation with exhibit that are attached below.</p><p>On August 7, 2020, Matt Shea completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) and emailed it back to the PDC acknowledging multiple violations of RCW 42.17A.430 by using surplus funds to make 2016 and 2018 Campaign related expenditures. In addition, on August 13, 2020, the PDC received a $750 civil penalty payment in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule). </p><p>PDC staff’s review found that had Matt Shea transferred surplus funds back into both his 2016 and 2018 Campaigns, and then made the expenditures listed above and in the Report of Investigation using 2016 and 2018 campaign funds, the expenditures would have been permissible. Staff also noted that Representative Shea made a decision to not seek re-election and is no longer a candidate for State Representative in 2020.</p><p>The $750 penalty assessed in these matters resolves the issues of using the Matt Shea Surplus Funds account to make 2016 and 2018 Campaign related expenditures. Based on this information and the mitigating factors listed above, PDC staff found no evidence of material violations that would require pursuing any additional enforcement action in these two cases. </p><p>The PDC has dismissed the complaints for PDC Cases #43573 and #43628, in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/436280.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "43628 Shea Matthew Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2024/43628%20Shea%20Matthew%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "43628 Shea Matthew Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "43628 Shea Matthew Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2024/43628%20Shea%20Matthew%20Response.pdf", "description" : "43628 Shea Matthew Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "Matt Shea ROI with Exhibit (PDC Cases 43573 & 43628).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2024/Matt%20Shea%20ROI%20with%20Exhibit%20%28PDC%20Cases%2043573%20%26%2043628%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Shea Matt Surplus Funds Complaint Return Ltr with SOU Cover Letter (Jarvis and Smith) PDC Cases 43573 and 43628.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2024/Shea%20Matt%20Surplus%20Funds%20Complaint%20Return%20Ltr%20with%20SOU%20Cover%20Letter%20%28Jarvis%20and%20Smith%29%20PDC%20Cases%2043573%20and%2043628.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Shea Matt Completed and E-signed Statement of Understanding (Jarvis and Smith) PDC Cases 43573 & 43628.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2024/Shea%20Matt%20Completed%20and%20E-signed%20Statement%20of%20Understanding%20%28Jarvis%20and%20Smith%29%20PDC%20Cases%2043573%20%26%2043628.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]08/13/2020 05:35:49 PMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

The complaint concerns a website and other materials produced by Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates on behalf of Twin Transit describing the ballot measure. PDC staff completed its investigation and found:</p><p><strong>Twin Transit Website:</strong> During the fall of 2017, Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates (Nelson Nygaard) entered into a contract with Twin Transit to conduct a feasibility study about expanding the Twin Transit service area. Starting in March 2018, Nelson Nygaard created a website for Twin Transit to publicize the ongoing results of its study. In April 2018, a Public Transportation Improvement Conference (a statutorily created entity separate from Twin Transit) was convened and passed a resolution to expand the Twin Transit boundaries. In July 2018, the Board of Lewis County Commissioners passed a resolution placing the matter of expansion and funding before the voters of expanded area. Twin Transit officials then directed Nelson Nygaard to produce materials to explain the ballot proposition, which included a postcard sent to all registered voters in the affected area and a brochure used as a handout when Twin Transit officials spoke to groups about the ballot measure. The information from the brochure and postcard were taken from content posted on the existing website. Staff found that it is the regular practice of Twin Transit to place information about its operations and major policy decisions on its website. However, in this case, Twin Transit, on the advice of Nelson Nygaard, decided to place the information about the 2018 ballot measure on a separate website that was already in existence for a related purpose, and that would be easy to find. Nelson Nygaard and Twin Transit officials acknowledged that they should have identified the website as being a Twin Transit website, and apologized for this oversight.</p><p><strong>Objectivity of Twin Transit Ballot Proposition Materials: </strong>The Twin Transit postcard explained what Proposition 1 would do, why it was being proposed, what would happen if it passed, what would happen if it failed, its cost, and that more information could be found at www.LewisCountyTransitMeasure.com, the website being used by Twin Transit to post information about the ballot measure. During the Spring of 2017, the White Pass Community Services Coalition, operator of LEWIS Mountain Highway Transit (LMHT) informed Twin Transit it intended to cease operations as of June 30, 2019 because of expected increases to its match requirement for receiving grants from the Washington State Department of Transportation. However, on May 16, 2017, the legislature capped the match requirement for non-profit entities at 10 percent, a level which LMHT said they could handle. This legislative change was not included in Twin Transit's postcard, brochure, or website. Nelson/Nygaard said they were not made aware of this legislative change until after the 2018 election. LMHT did not inform Twin Transit that its plans to cease operations in mid-2019 had changed. Nelson/Nygaard said if they had been aware of the change when they prepared the ballot measure materials, they would have included information about the change in the materials.</p><p><strong>Sending Postcard to Registered Voters:</strong> Twin Transit officials, on the advice of Nelson Nygaard, decided to mail its postcard to residents within Lewis County who were eligible to vote on the ballot measure. Nelson/Nygaard said the decision was made as an efficiency measure. They said the idea was to send the postcard to people who would actually have a chance to vote on the measure. They said Twin Transit officials decided to send only one postcard to each household, even if multiple voters resided at the same household.

20224357311/19/201811/19/201808/13/2020Aaron JarvisMatthew SheaShea, Matthew: Alleged Violation of RCW 42.17A.430 for unauthorized use surplus funds. (NOV 2018)RCW 29B.40.090/42.17A.430Resolved through Statement of Understanding (SOU)Candidate - Legislative<p>A complaint was filed against Matt Shea, an incumbent State Representative in the 4th Legislative District, and a candidate for re-election to that office in 2014, 2016, and 2018, alleging violations RCW 42.17A.430 by making expenditures from the Matt Shea Surplus Funds account for unauthorized uses or purposes.</p><p>After PDC staff conducted a preliminary review and assessment of the facts, PDC staff opened a formal investigation and held an Initial Hearing (Case Status Review Hearing) for Matt Shea for this case and PDC Case 43628 on February 14, 2019, pursuant to RCW 42.17A.755, and WACs 390-37-060 and 390-37-071.</p><p>Concerning the Matt Shea Surplus Funds expenditures to charitable organization, Mark Lamb, legal counsel for Matt Shea stated that many bona fide charities, like some churches or groups that do not solicit donations in Washington State, so they don’t need not register with the Washington Secretary of State’s Office in accordance with RCW 19.09.020(2). He stated that the plain reading and common-sense interpretation of the “statute is that surplus funds may only be donated to charities that, if the statute requires them to register, are registered. All of the organizations listed are bona fide 501(c)(3) charitable organizations."</p><p>Mr. Lamb stated that the three charitable organizations identified in the complaints are 501(c)(3) charitable organizations and added that Daniels’ Prayer Ministry is a church affiliated (entity) and the other two entities did not solicit contributions generally in Washington State and thus were not required to register under RCW 19.09." He stated that three of the surplus fund expenditures that were made in June of 2019 to Office Depot and Sears were for office equipment and supplies for Rep. Shea’s Legislative District office “where he conducts legislative business while in district.” </p><p>Mr. Lamb stated the treasurers understanding of surplus funds was that she was required to transfer remaining campaign funds into the Matt Shea Surplus Funds Account as soon as possible after the primary or general election for which they had been solicited was held. He stated the Treasurer made campaign-related expenditures using surplus fund “in subsequent years with the understanding that such expenses were for the same office."</p><p>Mr. Lamb stated that the campaign regrets “this administrative error and, as I indicated to you in our conversation today, seeks guidance as to how to amend and correct this issue and appreciate sincerely your offer to assist in the same. However, because the items listed below are campaign expenses, it is our position that there is no need to respond to the requests for additional details on them as that request was to determine compliance with 42.17A.430(7)."</p><p>Mr. Lamb stated the surplus funds expenditures made during calendar year 2014 and in the early part of calendar year 2015, were outside the five-year statute of limitations in accordance with PDC statutes and rules, but that those expenditures generally fall under the same category.</p><p>Between 2015 through 2018, the Matt Shea Surplus Funds Account acknowledged making expenditures using surplus funds that should have been made out of the 2016 and 2018 Re-election Committees to Elect Matt Shea. Those expenditures made from the Matt Shea Surplus Funds Account for 2016 and 2018 re-election campaign activities are listed in the complaint return letter and Report of Investigation with exhibit that are attached below.</p><p>On August 7, 2020, Matt Shea completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) and emailed it back to the PDC acknowledging multiple violations of RCW 42.17A.430 by using surplus funds to make 2016 and 2018 Campaign related expenditures. In addition, on August 13, 2020, the PDC received a $750 civil penalty payment in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule). </p><p>PDC staff’s review found that had Matt Shea transferred surplus funds back into both his 2016 and 2018 Campaigns, and then made the expenditures listed above and in the Report of Investigation using 2016 and 2018 campaign funds, the expenditures would have been permissible. Staff also noted that Representative Shea made a decision to not seek re-election and is no longer a candidate for State Representative in 2020.</p><p>The $750 penalty assessed in these matters resolves the issues of using the Matt Shea Surplus Funds account to make 2016 and 2018 Campaign related expenditures. Based on this information and the mitigating factors listed above, PDC staff found no evidence of material violations that would require pursuing any additional enforcement action in these two cases. </p><p>The PDC has dismissed the complaints for PDC Cases #43573 and #43628, in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/43573750.000.000.00750.000.00false[{"file_name" : "43573 Shea Matthew Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2022/43573%20Shea%20Matthew%20Response.pdf", "description" : "43573 Shea Matthew Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "43573 Shea Matthew Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2022/43573%20Shea%20Matthew%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "43573 Shea Matthew Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "Matt Shea ROI with Exhibit (PDC Cases 43573 & 43628).pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2022/Matt%20Shea%20ROI%20with%20Exhibit%20%28PDC%20Cases%2043573%20%26%2043628%29.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Shea Matt Completed and E-signed Statement of Understanding (Jarvis and Smith) PDC Cases 43573 & 43628.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2022/Shea%20Matt%20Completed%20and%20E-signed%20Statement%20of%20Understanding%20%28Jarvis%20and%20Smith%29%20PDC%20Cases%2043573%20%26%2043628.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "Shea Matt Surplus Funds Complaint Return Ltr with SOU Cover Letter (Jarvis and Smith) PDC Cases 43573 and 43628.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2022/Shea%20Matt%20Surplus%20Funds%20Complaint%20Return%20Ltr%20with%20SOU%20Cover%20Letter%20%28Jarvis%20and%20Smith%29%20PDC%20Cases%2043573%20and%2043628.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}][{"who" : "Matthew Shea", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2020-08-30", "amount" : 750.00, "description" : null, "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2020-08-13", "amount" : 750.00, "description" : "PAID"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]08/13/2020 05:33:50 PMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

(SEP 2017)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235Resolved through Statement of Understanding (SOU)Candidate - Legislative<p>The complaint alleged John Lovick, a candidate for Snohomish County Executive in 2015, and a candidate for State Representative from the 44th Legislative District in 2016, may have violated (1) RCW 42.17A.205 for failure to list committee officers, (2) RCW 42.17A.235 for failure to timely file C-3 and C-4 reports, (3) RCW 42.17A.240 for failure to report in-kind contributions and expenditures and (4) RCW 42.17A.425 for prohibited expenditures by non-committee officers. PDC staff has combined the two complaints filed against John Lovick. PDC staff reviewed the allegations listed in the two complaints, the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements for a candidate, the applicable PDC reports filed by the Committee and data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, and the responses provided by Jason Bennett of Argo Strategies, treasurer for the Committee to Re-elect John Lovick (Committee). </p><p>John Lovick completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) and paid a $900 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging six violations of RCW 42.17A.</p><p>The violations were failing to: (1) timely deposit monetary contributions within five business days of receipt; (2) timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports reports during calendar years 2015 and 2016; (3) maintain campaign records and the required books of account to verify the information disclosed on C-3 and C-4 reports. </p><p>The $900 penalty assessed in this matter resolves the allegations listed in your complaints concerning the late filed reports and other matters. Based on the above findings and the SOU, staff has determined that, in this instance, this matter does not warrant further investigation.

4783319403/06/201803/06/201807/20/2020Sandra RobsonDoug EricksenEricksen, Douglas: Alleged violations of Chapter 42.17A RCW for failure to accurately report expenditures, improper disposal of surplus funds, and impermissible personal use of contributions (Mar 18)WAC 390-16-238, WAC 390-16-037, RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240, RCW 29B.40.090/42.17A.430, RCW 29B.40.130/42.17A.445Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Legislative<p>A complaint was filed alleging that Doug Ericksen, an incumbent Washington State Senator from the 42nd Legislative District, may have violated Chapter 42.17A.430 by making prohibited expenditures from the Doug Ericksen Surplus Funds Account. </p><p>Specifically, the complaint alleged the Doug Ericksen Surplus Funds Account made unauthorized surplus fund expenditures to travel to Washington DC, in part to procure employment in the Trump Administration in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). RCW 42.17A.430(7) allows an official to “hold the surplus campaign funds in a separate account for non-reimbursed public office-related expenses”, but not for personal uses.</p><p>During the 2016 election, Senator Ericksen served as Washington State Co-Chair for the Donald Trump for President Campaign. Senator Ericksen traveled to Washington, DC during 2017 on multiple occasions, including trips in January 2017 and November 2017. Senator Ericksen was appointed by the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to a Senior Advisory position effective January 21, 2017. That appointment ended 120 days later, on May 20, 2017. Shortly after a November 2017 trip to Washington, DC, Senator Ericksen was offered a similar position by the EPA, to be effective December 17, 2017. In January 2018, he declined that position.</p><p>PDC staff found no evidence of a material violation that would require conducting a more formal investigation into the complaint or pursuing enforcement action in this instance. Staff found that the surplus fund expenditures identified in the complaint included activities and related travel for meetings with members of Congress and congressional staffers that reasonably relate to the Senator’s official office.</p><p>Senator Ericksen, however, also personally benefited from the activities and travel based on his actual or contemplated job appointments with the EPA. During his trips to Washington, DC, Senator Ericksen attended EPA orientation and training, and met with EPA officials. Staff found that a potential conflict of interest exists where, as in this instance, Senator Ericksen used surplus funds to pay for a portion of his travel to Washington, DC in his official capacity as a State Senator, but at the same time benefited from that travel based on his January 2017 appointment with the EPA and a separate appointment he was contemplating in or around November 2017. Compounding the issue, insufficient record-keeping by the Surplus Funds Account regarding these trips makes it difficult to apportion the expenses appropriately</p><p>There are, however, mitigating factors in this specific instance that renders this conduct to be a minor violation of RCW 42.17A, including that: (1) Senator Ericksen appears to have used personal funds to pay for a portion of the trips taken to Washington, DC, and thus not all of the travel costs were paid using the Doug Ericksen Surplus Funds Account; (2) Senator Ericksen appears to have conducted official Washington state business during his trips to the District of Columbia; and (3) the surplus funds expenditures involved relatively small dollar amounts. </p><p>To resolve this violation, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Senator Ericksen received a formal written warning concerning the prohibition of making expenditures using surplus funds that have a personal use component, and the requirement that he maintain the books of account, including the invoices and receipts for surplus funds expenditures made by the Doug Ericksen Surplus Funds Account in accordance with RCW 42.17A. Senator Ericksen will be informed that the Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action, should there be future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>The PDC dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).

The employer/contractors rely on the union to provide an authorization form that complies with the law and rules. Staff made it clear what changes need to be made to the written authorization and annual notification.

The complaint alleged that Ehren Flygare/Advocates Inc., a registered lobbyist with a contract lobbying firm registered with the PDC, may have violated RCW 42.17A.615 by failing to timely file Lobbyist Monthly Expense Reports (L-2 Reports) disclosing lobbying expenditures for calendar years 2016, 2017, and 2018, and RCW 42.17A.605 by failing to provide a recent photograph of Ehren Flygare at the time he filed his Lobbyist Registration (L-1 report). <br><br>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the responses provided by Ehren Flygare; the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent; and the Lobbyist Application revision history screen; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC lobbyist compensation and expenses by source database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. <br><br>The $450 penalty assessed resolves the allegations concerning the failure to timely and accurately file L-2 reports for calendar years 2016, 2017, and 2018, disclosing lobbying compensation and activities, including personal contributions made to legislators. In addition, Mr. Flygare has provided a photograph to comply with the lobbyist picture requirement as part of the L-1 filing requirements. <br><br>Based on this information and the facts that Ehren Flygare/Advocates, Inc. has no prior PDC violations, demonstrated a good-faith effort to bring reports into compliance, and has hired a professional to file his PDC lobbying reports going forward, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). <br> </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/46093450.000.000.00450.000.00false[{"file_name" : "46093 Advocates Inc Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2080/46093%20Advocates%20Inc%20Response.pdf", "description" : "46093 Advocates Inc Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "46093 Advocates Inc Statement of Understanding.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2080/46093%20Advocates%20Inc%20Statement%20of%20Understanding.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "46093 Advocates Inc Supplemental Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2080/46093%20Advocates%20Inc%20Supplemental%20Response.pdf", "description" : "46093 Advocates Inc Supplemental Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "46093 Advocates Inc Complaint Return Letter for Statement of Understanding.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2080/46093%20Advocates%20Inc%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter%20for%20Statement%20of%20Understanding.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "46093 Advocates Inc Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2080/46093%20Advocates%20Inc%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "46093 Advocates Inc Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}][{"who" : "Ehren Flygare", "address" : null, "order_date" : null, "due_date" : "2019-04-18", "amount" : 450.00, "description" : null, "suspended_amount" : 0.00, "suspended_amount_description" : null, "reinstated_amount" : 0.00, "reinstated_amount_description" : null, "payments" : [{"payment_date" : "2019-04-18", "amount" : 450.00, "description" : "Check Received with Statement of Understanding"}], "sent_to_collections" : null}]04/24/2019 01:52:09 PMRespondent admitted violation and possibly paid penalty.

The Complaints alleged that: (1) Shift Washington (SW) may have violated RCW 42.17A.405(7) by making an over-limit contribution to the Senate Republican Campaign Committee (SRCC), a caucus committee subject to contribution limits; and (2) the SRCC may have violated RCW 42.17A.405(7)(14) by accepting an over-limit contribution from Shift Washington. </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">In order to more efficiently use PDC resources, the two Complaints filed with the PDC have been combined into one letter.

DiMarco on October 30, 2018. The complaint alleged that Nicholas Power, a candidate for San Juan County Prosecuting Attorney in 2018, may have violated: (1) RCW 42.17A.405 for accepting over-limit contributions for political advertising costs approved in advance by the candidate; (2) RCW 42.17A.235 and RCW 42.17A.240 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing monetary or in-kind contributions for political advertising costs approved in advance by the Campaign; and (3) RCW 42.17A. for failure to accurately report the candidate’s personal funds expended in support of his 2018 campaign.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by Nicholas Power; the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>It appears that the mistakes made by the 2018 Power Campaign in regard to the disclosure of costs connected to two political advertisements done in support of Nicholas Power’s Campaign and presented in October 2018, were caused by a general misunderstanding of statutory filing obligations and miscommunication between the Campaign and the sponsors of the advertisements. No evidence was found that Mr. Power meant to mislead or deprive the public of information related to the cost the two political advertisements referenced above. </p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately file C-4 reports disclosing in-kind contributions for political advertising costs, does not amount to an actual violation warranting further investigation or additional enforcement action.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Nicholas Power (2018 candidate for San Juan County Prosecutor) received a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately file C-4 reports disclosing in-kind contributions for political advertising costs. The formal written warning included staff’s expectation that Mr. Power timely files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures including all monetary and in-kind contributions and expenditures.

(Mar 2019)RCW 29B.25.100/42.17A.240, RCW 29B.45.010/42.17A.555, RCW 29B.30.060/42.17A.330Case Closed with No Evidence of ViolationsCandidate - Local<p>This case alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.330, .240 & .555 1) for failure to use at least one photo, taken within the last 5 years, in all political advertising (e.g. 2012 photo used for profile image on campaign Facebook page), 2) failure to report use of the photograph as an in-kind contribution to the current campaign; and 3) by using public facilities (e.g. an agency photo) to assist an election campaign. PDC staff reviewed the allegations, applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements, the response provided by the Respondent, and the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent to determine if they support a finding of one or more violations. Staff’s review found the following:</p><p>The Respondent is an elected Commissioner for the Thurston County Public Utility District (PUD) and was a candidate for this office & jurisdiction during election year 2018. As a result, the Respondent is subject to RCW 42.17A.330 and .240, which require 1) at least one photograph used in any political advertising to have been taken within the last five years; and 2) the monetary value of any contributions to be reported. The Respondent is also subject to .555, which prohibits elected officials from using a public office or agency facilities to assist an election campaign. </p><p>The evidence provided by the Complainant included four photos that appeared on the Respondent's campaign Facebook account and a 2012 photo that appears on the PUD's official website, the website of the non-profit organization Pro Truth Pledge, and was published in a county voter's pamphlet. Of the photographic evidence provided, only the Facebook photo(s) appear to constitute political advertising. </p><p>The photos used on the Respondent's campaign Facebook page were taken in 2017 & 2018 by volunteer supporters, who are not professional photographers, using cell phones; the photos were provided to the Respondent at no cost. Subsequently, the photos comply with the age requirements of .330. Per WAC 390-17-405, photos taken by unpaid persons who do not normally charge a fee are "volunteer services" that do not need to be reported as contributions. The value of the photos themselves appear to be de minimis in nature. </p><p>The 2012 photo was taken by Vento Photography and the expenditure was reported by the Respondent to the PDC in April, 2012; this professional photo was gifted by the Respondent to the PUD in 2013, was not used for campaign purposes, and need not be reported as an in-kind contribution to the Respondent under .240. Pro Truth Pledge obtained the 2012 photo from another source & re-posted it without the Respondent's knowledge. The evidence provided by the Complainant was insufficient to demonstrate the 2012 photo was used for political advertising during the Respondent's 2018 election campaign. Furthermore, the professional photo paid for by the Respondent in 2012 was not produced by a public office or agency and therefore does not constitute use of public facilities under .555.</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/489630.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "48963 Oosterman Linda Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2124/48963%20Oosterman%20Linda%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "48963 Oosterman Linda Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "48963 Oosterman Linda Complaint Return Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2124/48963%20Oosterman%20Linda%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}, {"file_name" : "48963 Oosterman Linda Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2124/48963%20Oosterman%20Linda%20Response.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : null}]05/07/2019 11:00:27 AMPDC staff found no evidence of violation.

The employer/contractors rely on the union to provide an authorization form that complies with the law and rules. Staff made it clear what changes need to be made to the written authorization and annual notification. The union, working with and on behalf of the employer/contractors, has developed an authorization form and annual notification that meets the requirement of the statute and rules. The respondents have stated that they will incorporate the changes to the authorization form and annual notification.</span></p><div><br></div><div><span>Staff determined that, in this instance, the failure of the 35 employer/contractor respondents to fully comply with the law does not amount to an actual violation warranting further investigation. However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), the 35 employer/contractor respondents received a formal written warning concerning: (1) their failure to obtain a proper written request from employees before withholding wages or salaries for contributions to Plumbers & Steamfitters Local 598 PAC; and (2) their failure to provide an annual notification to employees who have requested payroll deductions for political contributions of their right to withdraw their request at any time, and of the prohibition against discrimination by the employer and the union for not contributing.

The complaint alleged that Steve Hobbs, an incumbent State Senator and a candidate seeking re-election to that office in 2018, may have violated RCW 42.17A.430, .490 and WAC 390-16-230, by failing to receive written permission before transferring contributions to a campaign for a different office. </p><p>Based on our findings, staff has determined that in this instance, Steve Hobbs failure to obtain written permission before transferring contribution from his 2014 Senate campaign to his 2016 Lt. Governor campaign does not appear to be an actual material violation warranting further investigation.

The complaint alleged that Karen Hardy (Respondent), a 2017 and 2018 candidate for State Senator for Legislative District 07, may have violated RCW 42.17A.445 for unauthorized use of campaign funds; RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Campaign Full Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign, and to have both the candidate and treasurer certify the reports as correct, and to maintain documents and books of account for five years following the year in which the transaction occurred; RCW 42.17A.205 for failure to timely file Candidate Registrations within two weeks of becoming a candidate, and to accurately and completely disclose committee officers on the Candidate Registrations; RCW 42.17A.265 for failure to timely report last minute contributions of $1,000 or more within special reporting periods before elections; RCW 42.17A.220 and .425 for allowing undisclosed committee officers to deposit contributions and authorize expenditures on behalf of the campaign; RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to accurately and completely disclose sponsor identification on digital political advertising; and RCW 42.17A.700 for failure to timely file Personal Financial Affairs Statements (F-1 reports) disclosing financial activities for twelve calendar months prior to becoming a candidate, due within two weeks of becoming a candidate.</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately register as a candidate, report financial affairs, report contribution and expenditure activity, and use of campaign funds to file PDC complaints, do not amount to violations that warrants further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Karen Hardy will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately register as a candidate and report financial affairs; failure to timely, accurately and completely report contribution and expenditure activity; and personal use of campaign funds to pay for legal services for filing PDC complaints. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Karen Hardy timely, accurately, and completely files all future required reports, and abides by the restrictions on the use of campaign funds in the future. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/345950.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "Complaint Attach 2 - KarHardy - Exhibit B - Illegal failure to report debts.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/424/Complaint%20Attach%202%20-%20KarHardy%20-%20Exhibit%20B%20-%20Illegal%20failure%20to%20report%20debts.pdf", "description" : "Complaint Attach 2 - KarHardy - Exhibit B - Illegal failure to report debts.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "34595 Hardy, Karen Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/424/34595%20Hardy%2C%20Karen%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "34595 Hardy, Karen Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "34595 Hardy Karen Response With Attachments.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/424/34595%20Hardy%20Karen%20Response%20With%20Attachments.pdf", "description" : "34595 Hardy Karen Response With Attachments.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "Complaint Attach 3 - KarHardy - Exhibit C - Illegal failure to breakdown expenditures.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/424/Complaint%20Attach%203%20-%20KarHardy%20-%20Exhibit%20C%20-%20Illegal%20failure%20to%20breakdown%20expenditures.pdf", "description" : "Complaint Attach 3 - KarHardy - Exhibit C - Illegal failure to breakdown expenditures.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "Complaint Attach 1 - KarHardy-Exhibit A - Illegally late reported C3 and C4 reports.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/424/Complaint%20Attach%201%20-%20KarHardy-Exhibit%20A%20-%20Illegally%20late%20reported%20C3%20and%20C4%20reports.pdf", "description" : "Complaint Attach 1 - KarHardy-Exhibit A - Illegally late reported C3 and C4 reports.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "34595 Hardy Karen Warning Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/424/34595%20Hardy%20Karen%20Warning%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}]12/05/2019 10:40:50 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

However, the Campaign and Senator responded promptly and worked with the PDC to amend the C-4 reports disclosing the required expenditure information and assisting in resolving the complaint. </p><p>Staff would also note that Senator Sheldon has been in public office since 1986 with no prior PDC violations and has served as his own treasurer. </p><p>Tim Sheldon completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU), paid a $900 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.240 for failing to timely file the three Pre-Election C-4 reports listed above.

However, pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), the 35 employer/contractor respondents received a formal written warning concerning: (1) their failure to obtain a proper written request from employees before withholding wages or salaries for contributions to Plumbers & Steamfitters Local 598 PAC; and (2) their failure to provide an annual notification to employees who have requested payroll deductions for political contributions of their right to withdraw their request at any time, and of the prohibition against discrimination by the employer and the union for not contributing. The employer/contractors were informed that the Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. Based on this information, the PDC found that no further action is warranted and dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</span></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div></div>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/437000.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "2019 Response to PDC_Redacted_27.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2052/2019%20Response%20to%20PDC_Redacted_27.pdf", "description" : "2019 Response to PDC_Redacted_27.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "43700 Combined Case Closure Letters.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2052/43700%20Combined%20Case%20Closure%20Letters.pdf", "description" : "43700 Combined Case Closure Letters.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "43700 Northwest Metal Fab & Pipe, Inc.

There are three very specific categories of violation under the statute that apply exclusively to candidates: (a) False statements of material fact about a candidate; (b) False representations that a candidate is the incumbent in an election; and (c) False claims stating or implying the support or endorsement of a candidate when the candidate does not have such support. <em>See</em> RCW 42.17A.335(1). </div><div></div><div dir="ltr">Staff’s review of the matter has determined that the allegations in the complaints regarding false statements of material fact, do not constitute violations of section 335, within the specific categories defined in the statute. The mailers do not include an express false statement of material fact about <u>a candidate</u>, they do not make false claims regarding incumbency, and they do not directly or indirectly falsely claim or imply that <u>a candidate</u> has the endorsement or support of a person or organization. </div><div></div><div dir="ltr">Although it might initially appear that category (c) is implicated where some complainants have alleged that these ads convey to voters that the <u>non-candidate</u> “write-ins” have the endorsement of certain organizations, the statute applies only to claims of support or endorsement where <u>the candidate</u> does not have such support or endorsement. The purported write-in candidates in these races are not, in fact, candidates, and therefore the statute does not apply.</div><div></div><div dir="ltr">Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed the allegations listed in the 45 complaints filed against Mr. Morgan; Send a Message PAC; Conscience of the Progressives PAC; A Brighter Thurston County PAC; and Real Progressives in Thurston County PAC, in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </div><div></div><div dir="ltr">Although PDC will not be conducting a formal investigation into these allegations or taking further enforcement action in this matter, staff is reminding Glen Morgan, and the four political committees concerning the importance of filing timely and accurate reports disclosing committee contribution and expenditure activities in future years as required by PDC laws and rules, including registering as a single-year committee where applicable. </div><p dir="ltr"> </p></div></div>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/421120.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "42112 A Brighter Thurston County Complaint regarding Unspecified Candidates -

While the Committee failed to include the full committee officer(s) and the name of the committee sponsor on the initial C-1pc and the subsequent two amended C-1pcs, it did eventually include both the sponsor's name and name of the controlling officer of the Committee after reaching out to the PDC for guidance /advice. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff determined that, in this instance, the failure to file an accurate and complete Committee Registration (C-1pc), which was later amended to include all the required information, is a violation that does not warrant further investigation. </p><p>Based on this information, PDC staff dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1). </p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/485210.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "48521 Up for Thurston County (3) Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2122/48521%20Up%20for%20Thurston%20County%20%283%29%20Response.pdf", "description" : "48521 Up for Thurston County (3) Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "48521 Up for Thurston County (3) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2122/48521%20Up%20for%20Thurston%20County%20%283%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "48521 Up for Thurston County (3) Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "48521 Up for Thurston County Complaint Return Letter...pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2122/48521%20Up%20for%20Thurston%20County%20Complaint%20Return%20Letter...pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : ""}]09/16/2019 10:34:11 AMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

(OCT 2018)RCW 29B.25.090/42.17A.235Case Closed with Written WarningCandidate - Local<p>The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the three complaints filed by Michael Fertakis in October 2018. The three complaints alleged that David Chan, candidate for Snohomish County Public Utility District Commissioner No. 1 in 2018, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the Campaign. For your information, in order to more efficiently use PDC resources, these three complaints have been combined into one letter. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by David Chan; the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent; and the October 17, 2018 Statement of Understanding with $300 civil penalty completed by Mr. Chan and acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. </p><p>The 2018 election was the first time David Chan filed as a candidate under the “Full Reporting” option and was required to file C-3 and C-4 reports using the PDC’s ORCA program disclosing campaign contribution and expenditure activities electronically. Serving as his own treasurer, Mr. Chan spent several weeks working with PDC Filer Assistance Staff on how to properly enter and correct information reported in ORCA, and he continued to work with staff throughout the 2018 election cycle.</p><p>In July 2018, two complaints were filed against David Chan alleging his campaign failed to timely and accurately file reports of campaign activities. On October 22, 2018, Mr. Chan completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports, and paid a $300 civil penalty, resolving similar allegations in PDC Cases 42329, 42397 and 42940.</p><p>Based on these findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely file a small number of C-3 and C-4 reports late disclosing details of a mailed political advertisement, does not amount to an actual violation warranting further investigation or additional enforcement action. Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), David Chan will receive a formal written warning concerning failure to timely and accurately disclosure of all contribution and expenditures. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that David Chan timely files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures, including all required vendor information during the accelerated reporting periods prior to and after any election in which his name appears on the ballot. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/429400.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "42940 Chain, David (3) Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1996/42940%20Chain%2C%20David%20%283%29%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "42940 Chain, David (3) Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "42329 & 42397 & 42940 Chan David Formal Written Warning Ltr_1.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1996/42329%20%26%2042397%20%26%2042940%20Chan%20David%20Formal%20Written%20Warning%20Ltr_1.pdf", "description" : "42329 & 42397 & 42940 Chan David Formal Written Warning Ltr_1.pdf", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "42940 Chain, David (3) Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1996/42940%20Chain%2C%20David%20%283%29%20Response.pdf", "description" : "42940 Chain, David (3) Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}]07/01/2019 03:01:53 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

The Complaint alleged that Timothy Gray, incumbent and candidate for Stevens County Auditor in 2018, may have violated; (1) RCW 42.17A.555 by using public facilities to support his re-election campaign; (2) RCW 42.17A.235 by failing to timely file Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports); and (3) RCW 42.17A.240 by failing to disclose the candidate filing fee. </p><p>PDC staff reviewed the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response(s) provided by Timothy Gray; and the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent, to determine the allegations support a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>Although the Stevens County Auditor’s Office telephone number did appear in two political advertisements sponsored by the “Retain Tim Gray Auditor” campaign, the campaign took corrective action promptly. The 7-day pre-primary C-4 report was filed after the primary election but contained zero activity and the filing fee was paid using the personal funds of the candidate. </p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, including the Stevens County Auditor’s Office telephone number on two pieces of political advertisement, filing the 7-day preprimary C-4 report late disclosing zero activity, and failing to disclose the filing fee paid for using candidate’s personal funds does not amount to an actual violation warranting further investigation. </p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), Timothy Gray will receive a formal written warning concerning; (1) using public facilities to support his re-election campaign by including the Stevens County Auditor’s Office telephone number in political advertisement; (2) failing to timely file the 7-day pre-primary C-4 report; and (3) failing to disclose the candidate filing fee. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Mr. Gray will review all political advertisement sponsored by him or his campaign to avoid using facilities to support his candidacy and that he timely files all future required reports of contributions and expenditures, including all campaign activities, specifically those occurring during the accelerated reporting schedule prior to and after any election in which Mr. Gray participates in as a candidate for public office in the future. The Commission may consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules. </p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/422580.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "42258 Gray Timothy Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1935/42258%20Gray%20Timothy%20Response.pdf", "description" : "42258 Gray Timothy Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "42258 Gray Timothy Formal Written Warning Ltr.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1935/42258%20Gray%20Timothy%20Formal%20Written%20Warning%20Ltr.pdf", "description" : "42258 Gray Timothy Formal Written Warning Ltr.pdf", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "42258 Gray Timothy Complaint.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1935/42258%20Gray%20Timothy%20Complaint.pdf", "description" : "42258 Gray Timothy Complaint.pdf", "document_type" : null}]07/01/2019 03:23:27 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

<div dir="ltr">On December 15, 2016, James Abernathy, Litigation Counsel, The Freedom Foundation (<span class="caps">TFF</span>), filed a Citizens Action Complaint against Service Employees International Union Healthcare 775NW (<span class="caps">SEIU</span> 775) pursuant to <span class="caps">RCW</span> 42.17A.765(4). He filed the complaint with the Washington State Attorney General and the Prosecuting Attorneys of Clark, Ferry, Lewis, Lincoln, King, and Thurston counties. Mr. Abernathy alleged that <span class="caps">SEIU</span> 775 may have violated provisions of <span class="caps">RCW</span> 42.17A by failing to register and report as a political committee for its combined support of candidates and ballot propositions in Washington State during calendar year 2016.</div>
<p><br></p>
<p><span rel="tempredactor">The Commission considered the results of staff’s investigative review at a special Commission meeting held on February 8, 2017, where PDC staff presented its findings which included a recommendation regarding the allegations listed in the Complaint. Based on the factors identified in staff’s investigative review of the allegations listed in the Complaint, staff determined that: (1) SEIU 775 did not appear to be a political committee with a requirement to register and report with the PDC; and (2) SEIU 775 did not violate RCW 42.17A.205, .235, and .240 because: (1) It is not a “receiver of contributions” in support of, or in opposition to candidates or ballot propositions; and (2) Supporting candidates or ballot propositions is not one of its primary purposes.</span><br></p>
<p></p>
<p><span rel="tempredactor"><br></span></p>
<p><span rel="tempredactor">Staff noted that SEIU 775 has a political committee SEIU Healthcare 775NW Quality Care Committee, which has been registered and reporting with the PDC dating backto 2005. The Commission voted unanimously to accept staff’s recommendation, and to recommend that no further action be taken on the Citizen Action Complaint filed against Service Employees International Union Local 775.</span></p>

The complaints alleged that Roger Flygare, a 2015 candidate for Fire Commissioner for South King Fire & Rescue, and a 2017 candidate for Federal Way City Council may have violated RCW 42.17A.205 for failure to timely and completely file a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) disclosing all committee officers, and for failing to register businesses owned by the candidate as Political Committees; RCW 42.17A.220 for failure to timely deposit contributions; RCW 42.17A.235 for failure to timely and accurately file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions and expenditures undertaken by the campaign; RCW 42.17A.240, WAC 390-16-037, and WAC 390-16-205 for failure to accurately provide detailed breakdowns of expenditures, in-kind contributions, and debts; RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to include sponsor identification on boosted digital advertising; RCW 42.17A.405 for accepting over-limit contributions; RCW 42.17A.425 for allowing persons not listed as committee officers on the C-1 report to authorize expenditures; RCW 42.17A.465 for failure to record loans by written instrument; and RCW 42.17A.710 for failure to disclose officership status in a professional association on the Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report).</p><p>PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the responses provided by Roger Flygare; the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution and expenditure database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.</p><p>While the 2015 Fire Commissioner and 2017 Federal Way City Council campaigns had issues related to the timely, accurate, and detailed reporting of contributions and expenditures, and failed to provide sponsor identification on boosted digital advertising, the campaigns made good faith efforts to comply with the requirements of Chapter 42.17A RCW and Title 390 WAC, and have maintained communication and cooperation with PDC staff to attain and sustain compliance.</p><p>Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely and accurately report contributions and expenditures, report unpaid officerships in associations, and failure to provide sponsor identification on boosted digital advertising, do not amount to violations warranting further investigation.</p><p>Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(b), Roger Flygare will receive a formal written warning concerning timely and complete disclosure of all contribution and expenditure activities, board memberships and officerships on qualifying organizations, and the complete and accurate disclosure of sponsor identification on all political advertising. The formal written warning will include staff’s expectation that Roger Flygare will provide greater oversight of required campaign disclosures, and institute contingencies to comply with the law in the case of a lapse in treasurer services. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.</p><p>Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed these matters in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).</p>https://www.pdc.wa.gov/rules-enforcement/enforcement/enforcement-cases/166920.000.000.000.000.00false[{"file_name" : "16692-18247-18590 Flygare Roger (2)-(4) Warning Letter.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1447/16692-18247-18590%20Flygare%20Roger%20%282%29-%284%29%20Warning%20Letter.pdf", "description" : "", "document_type" : "Warning"}, {"file_name" : "16692 - Roger Flygare (2) With Attachments.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1447/16692%20-%20Roger%20Flygare%20%282%29%20With%20Attachments.pdf", "description" : "16692 - Roger Flygare (2) With Attachments.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "16692 Flygare Roger(2) Response Part Two.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1447/16692%20Flygare%20Roger%282%29%20Response%20Part%20Two.pdf", "description" : "16692 Flygare Roger(2) Response Part Two.pdf", "document_type" : null}, {"file_name" : "16692 Roger Flygare(2) Response.pdf", "url" : "https://wapdc-document-images-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enforcement/1447/16692%20Roger%20Flygare%282%29%20Response.pdf", "description" : "16692 Roger Flygare(2) Response.pdf", "document_type" : null}]05/16/2019 05:00:30 PMPDC staff found evidence of minor violation and warned respondent.

You also alleged WFC needed to disclose the Top 3 Donors to the Seattle Foundation. However, the Seattle Foundation is not listed as one of WFC’s Top 5 Contributors, and even if it was listed as a Top 5 Contributor, it is not a political committee. None of the Top 5 Contributors to WFC are political committees, and as such, the requirement to list the Top 3 non-PAC donors to the Top 5 Contributors is not applicable. </p><p>Based on these findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, the alleged failure to disclose the Top 3 Donors to a PAC’s Top 5 Contributors is not a violation that warrants further investigation.
