Description

The complaint alleged Satpal Sidhu, a 2019 candidate for Whatcom County Executive, may have violated RCW 42.17A.445 and WAC 390-16-238 for personal use of campaign contributions and RCW 42.17A.240 and WAC 390-16-037 for failing to completely and accurately report expenditure details. 

PDC staff has determined that, in this instance, the alleged personal use of campaign contributions and failing to completely and accurately report expenditure details does not amount a violation warranting further investigation. Staff is reminding Sat pal Sidhu about the importance of completely and accurately reporting expenditure details.  

Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).
