Gerald Pollet

On November 29, 2017, the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC)received a complaint alleging that Gerry Pollet's (respondent) 2016 Campaign for State Representative may have violated RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to accurately and timely report contributions, expenditures and debt. 

The PDC reviewed the complaint and determined that the Pollet 2016 Campaign for State Representative failed to timely file some reports. The late-filed reports contained minimal campaign activities, resulting in minimal impact to the public. The respondent received a warning letter concerning his Campaign's failure to timely file contribution and expenditure reports. The written warning letter conveyed staff's expectation that the respondent will file timely reports of contribution and expenditure reports in future years in accordance with PDC laws and rules. 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 the above, the PDC dismissed the complaint in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1)
