Description
The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint Conner Edwards filed on April 8, 2018. The complaint alleged that Safer is Better – Yes to SCS (Respondent), a project of the Public Defender Association, a nonprofit organization, may have violated RCW 42.17A.255 for failure to timely disclose independent expenditures; RCW 42.17A.205 for failure to timely file a Political Committee Registration (C-1pc report); RCW 42.17A.235 for failure to timely file Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Campaign Full Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports), disclosing contributions received and expenditures undertaken in an election campaign; and RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to disclose sponsor identification on political advertising, including the Top Five contributors.
PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the response provided by the Respondent; and the website and videos produced by the Respondent; to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.
Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, no evidence supports a finding of a violation that warrants further investigation.
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).
