Description

On September 9, 2017, the Public Disclosure Commission received a complaint alleging that Shelley Kloba (respondent), a candidate for State Representative in the 1st Legislative District in 2016, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 for failure to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports, including failure to properly report the purpose of expenditures, as required by WAC 390-16-037 and WAC 390-16-205, and RCW 42.17A.240 for failure to properly report debt. 

PDC staff reviewed the complaint and determined that there were expenditures made by the respondent's campaign either to a vendor or consultant for which a more detailed explanation or description should have been provided. However, this shortcoming was mitigated by the fact that the respondent had no prior violations. 

Staff reminded the respondent about the importance of filing timely and accurate C-3 and C-4 reports disclosing contribution and expenditure activities undertaken by her campaign, including for debt and the importance of properly reporting the purpose of expenditures, as required by RCW 42.17A.240, WAC 390-16-037 and WAC 390-16-205. 

Based on this information, PDC staff dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).
