Description

The complaints alleged Justin Murta a 2024 Candidate for Washington State Insurance Commissioner, may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely file Cash Receipts Monetary Contributions (C-3) reports and Campaign Summary Receipts and Expenditures (C-4) reports, disclosing contributions and expenditures.

The violations of PDC laws and rules made by Justin Murta are remedial in nature and do not warrant further investigation or enforcement action. The expenditure and contribution involved totaled no more than the contribution limits set forth in RCW 42.17A.405(2) were inadvertent and minor and did not materially harm the public interest beyond the harm to the policy of Chapter 42.17A RCW inherent in any violation.

Justin Murta 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 PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).
