Case

#159727

Respondent

Craig Gocha

Complainant

Conner Edwards

Description

Based on staff’s review, we found the following: 

• The complaint alleged failure to timely file the post primary C-4 (expenditure) Reports and failure to provide expenditure detail for political advertising.  
• The Respondent filed the post primary C-4 (expenditure) Report one day late. 
• Once contacted, the Respondent updated their reporting to include required expenditure detail.  

PDC staff determined Craig Gocha made a minor or ministerial error, which did not materially impact the public interest but needed to be corrected for the report to be in full compliance with the requirements of the chapter. 

Based on this information, the matter is resolved as a technical correction 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).
