Case
#34600
Respondent
Nick Petrish IIII
Complainant
Glen Morgan
Description
The complaint alleged the Committee to Elect Nick Petrish (Committee) may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to accurately and timely file Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure (C-4) reports.
PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the C-3 and C-4 reports filed by Nick Petrish and the response from Petrish, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations. Allegations two through seven were based “on information and belief” but the complainant failed to provide any evidence to substantiate the allegations. Therefore, staff did not review these allegations.
Based on staff findings, and the fact Petrish does not currently hold public office and has not had a filing requirement with the PDC since 2016, staff has determined that in this instance, the failure to timely and accurately file reports of contributions and expenditures does not amount to an actual violation warranting further investigation.
PDC staff is reminding Nick Petrish about the importance of timely disclosing all contribution and expenditure activities and timely filing all future PDC reports in accordance with statutes 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).
