Clean Air Clean Energy Washington

The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has completed its review of the complaint filed on July 17, 2019. Your complaint alleged that Clean Air Clean Energy Washington, a Political Committee, supporting statewide ballot measure 1631 in the November 6, 2018 general election, may have violated RCW 42.17A.220(4) for accepting over limit anonymous contributions.

PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the applicable PDC reports filed by Respondent; and queried the Respondent’s data in the PDC contribution database, to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.

Staff’s review of the Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) filed by Clean Air Clean Energy Washington found the committee could accept the greater amount of up to 1 percent of the total accumulated contributions.

Based on these findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, no evidence supports a finding of a violation warranting further investigation.

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).
