Thompson, Mason: Alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.320 for failure to accurately disclose complete sponsor ID on political advertising. (EY '19) (Jul '19))
The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) completed its review of the complaint Kevin Mendez filed on July 12, 2019. The complaint alleged that Mason Thompson (the “Respondent”) may have violated RCW 42.17A.320 by failing to disclose complete sponsor identification (ID) on political advertising.
PDC staff reviewed the allegations; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; and the response provided by the Respondent to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.
Based on the findings, staff determined that, in this instance, failure to disclose sponsor address on political advertising does not amount to a violation warranting further investigation.
PDC staff reminded Mason Thompson about the importance of providing complete sponsor identification information on all political advertising
Based on this information, the PDC found that no further action is warranted and dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).
