Description

This case alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.205 and .700 for failure to file a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) and a Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) within two weeks of becoming a candidate for election year 2024.

PDC staff reviewed the allegations and evidence submitted; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the applicable PDC reports filed by Kevin Young (the “Respondent”); and other relevant information to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.

Based on the attached findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to timely file a candidate F-1 report, and a C-1 report, do not amount to violations that warrant further investigation.

Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Kevin A. Young received a formal written warning concerning his failure to timely file a Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) and Candidate Registration (C-1 report) within two weeks of becoming a candidate. The formal written warning included staff’s expectation that Kevin A. Young timely files all future F-1 and C-1 reports as required. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.

Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).
