Description

Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) records indicate that you are or were a candidate for public office in 2025, and we have not received a Candidate Registration (C-1 report) disclosing your campaign information for the 2025 election cycle. 
 
RCW 42.17A.205 requires candidates to file a C-1 report within two weeks of declaring their candidacy, which was no later than May 23, 2025.
 
In accordance with RCW 42.17A.110 and RCW 42.17A.755, a Brief Adjudicative Proceeding (Brief Enforcement Hearing) has been scheduled to determine if you violated RCW 42.17A.205 by failing to file the required C-1 report for the 2025 election cycle.  Under the Brief Enforcement Hearing rules, the Presiding Officer has the authority to assess a civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143, a penalty schedule adopted by the Commission (see enclosed copy).
