Description
The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed by Omaha Sternberg on July 2, 2019. The complaint alleged that Lucy Krakowiak (Respondent), a 2019 candidate for Burien City Council may have violated RCW 42.17A.205 for failure to file a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) within two weeks of becoming a candidate; 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; and RCW 42.17A.700 for failure to timely file a Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report), certifying financial activities in calendar year 2018, no later than April 15, 2019.
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.
Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely register as a candidate does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.
PDC staff is reminding Lucy Krakowiak about the importance of timely registering as a candidate. PDC staff expects the timely, complete, and accurate of all future required reports in accordance with the 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).
