Rebecca Erickson
Carollynn Zimmers
The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed on August 3, 2018 and the additional information provided on September 19, 2018. The complaint alleged that Rebecca Erickson, the current Mayor of the City of Poulsbo, violated RCW 42.17A.555 by using the City of Poulsbo Mayor's office to support her candidacy for State Representative in Legislative District 23 in the 2018 eleciton by inviting attendees of a political forum to visit her official Mayoral office when it is unlikely they have concerns relevant to city business.
PDC staff reviewed the allegation in the complaint, PDC Interpretation #04-02, and the August 23, 2018 response from Rebecca Erickson.
Mayor Rebecca Erickson has a history of using the Poulsbo City Hall and Mayoral offices, in ways that are consistant with permissible activities related to candidate campaigns and ballot measures under PDC Interpretation #04-02 and not in violation of RCW 42.17A.555. No evidence was found that Mayor Erickson used the official Mayoral office to support her 2018 candidacy for State Representative.
Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).
