Case

#159729

Respondent

Dan Christopher

Complainant

Conner Edwards

Description

Based on staff’s review, we found the apparent violations of PDC laws and rules are remediable in nature and do not warrant further investigation or enforcement action. The expenditure(s) or contribution(s) involved totaled no more than the contribution limits set forth in RCW 42.17A.405(2), 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. 

• Dan Christopher 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. 

Based on this information, the matter is resolved as a remediable violation pursuant to RCW  

42.17A.755 and WAC 390-37-060. The PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).
