Complainant

Conner Edwards

Description

This case alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 for failure to timely and accurately file mandatory C-4 reports for election year 2023, specifically the 21-day pre-Primary, 7-day pre-Primary, and post-Primary C-4 reports.

Based on our attached findings, the allegations were resolved as Remediable Violations.

The Respondent's violations of PDC laws and rules are remediable in nature and do not warrant further investigation or enforcement action. The expenditures and contributions involved totaled no more than the contribution limits set forth in RCW 42.17A.405(2) or $1,000, were inadvertent and minor and otherwise have been cured, and did not materially harm the public interest beyond the harm to the policy of Chapter 42.17A RCW inherent in any violation. The Respondent was a candidate who lost the election and did not receive aggregate contributions over the amount set forth in RCW 42.17A.005(46)(d)(ii)(B) per election during the campaign. The aggregate contributions received were zero dollars.

Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).
