Case

#100320

Respondent

Raymont Jackson

Complainant

Charles John Dalldorf

Description

The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed on October 29, 2021. The complaint alleged that Raymont Jackson, a 2021 candidate for Mayor of Town of Friday Harbor 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.

PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by Tina Jackson on behalf of the Respondent; and the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.

It appears that the Respondent submitted the C-1 report and chose the “Full Reporting” option due to a general misunderstanding of the filing requirements. Staff found no evidence showing that Raymont Jackson purposely filed the C-1 report to mislead the public.

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).
