Case

#159745

Respondent

Joshua Good

Complainant

Conner Edwards

Description

• Allegation: Violation of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely and accurately report contributions & expenditures on reports for election year 2024

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

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

• Joshua Good (the Respondent) filed the 21-day pre-primary expenditure (C-4) report 3 days late, but was otherwise substantially compliant.

• The campaign did not advance to the general election.

Any violation that may have occurred was minor and has been cured. After consideration of all of the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purposes of this chapter. Under WAC 390-37-060, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted.
