Complainant

David Lee Sandretto

Description

The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed by David Sandretto on July 31, 2019. The complaint alleged that Michelle McLeod (Respondent), a 2019 candidate for City Council in Benton City, may have violated RCW 42.17A.335 and WAC 390-18-040 for making false statements of incumbency in political advertising.

PDC staff reviewed the allegations; and the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.

Based on our findings staff has determined that, in this instance, insufficient 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).
