Description

On July 16, 2019, the Public Disclosure Commission received a complaint alleging that Pinky Vargas (respondent), a candidate for State Senator in the 42nd Legislative District in 2018, may have violated RCW 42.17A.220(4) for accepting over the limit anonymous contributions. 

PDC staff reviewed the complaint and determined that the respondent's campaign could accept the greater amount of up to 1% of the total accumulated contributions.

Based on staff's determination, no evidence supports a finding of a violation warranting further investigation. 

Accordingly, the PDC staff dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).
