Description

On July 16, 2019, the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) received a complaint from Glen Morgan alleging that Daniel Satterberg (Respondent), an incumbent King County Prosecuting Attorney and a candidate seeking re-election to that office in 2018, may have violated RCW 42.17A.220(4) for accepting over limit anonymous contributions. 

PDC staff reviewed the Monetary Contribution reports (C-3 reports) and the Summary Full Campaign Contribution and Expenditure reports (C-4 reports) filed by the Respondent and determined  that his campaign could only accept $758.82 of the total $1,223 in anonymous contribution received by his campaign.

On September 9, 2019, the PDC received a check in the amount of $464.18 from the Respondent for exceeding the anonymous contribution limits, that was forwarded to the Department of Enterprise Services, for deposit into the General Fund in accordance with the statutory scheme. 

Based on this information, the PDC dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).
