Description
Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) records indicate that you are or were a candidate for public office in 2025, and we have not received a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) disclosing your campaign information for the 2025 election cycle.
RCW 42.17A.205 requires candidates to file a C-1 report within two weeks of declaring their candidacy, which were to have been filed no later than May 23, 2025.
In accordance with RCW 42.17A.110 and RCW 42.17A.755, an Adjudicative Proceeding (Enforcement Hearing) has been scheduled to determine if you violated RCW 42.17A.205 for failing to file the required C-1 report for the 2025 election cycle. Under the Enforcement Hearing rules, the Commission has the authority to assess a civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-182, the Enforcement Hearing penalty schedule adopted by the Commission (see enclosed copy).
