Description

On July 15, 2019, the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) received a complaint from Andrew Saturn, alleging a violation of one or more specific provisions of WAC 390-32-010, the Fair Campaign Practices Code (FCPC).  The complaint concerned Linda Oosterman, a 2018 candidate for Thurston County Public Utility Commissioner.

The Campaign Fair Practices Code requires the PDC to forward the complaint to the party alleged to have violated the FCPC, request a response within five days, and then send the complaint and the response, if one is received, to news media.  Linda Oosterman supplied a response to the complaint's allegations on July 24, 2019. WAC 390-32-030 prevents the Commission and staff from commenting on the complaint or the response. 

On July 25, 2019, a copy of the complaint and response were sent to news media.
