Description

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

• SEIU Local 6 PAC is a political committee participating in the 2024 election that selected the Full Reporting Option.

• You filed a complaint alleging late reporting.

• RCW 42.17A.235 describes the required filing deadlines for disclosure of campaign finance activities including monetary contributions.

• RCW 42.17A.240 requires committees to file accurate campaign finance reports with the Public Disclosure Commission.

• The post-primary C-4 report was filed 31 days late on October 11, 2024.
