No Enumclaw Candidates Breaking $5,000 in Campaign Expenditures, Yet

Nine of the 10 candidates running in Enumclaw races have indicated that they would not be spending or raising more than $5,000 for their campaigns, according to forms they submitted to the state Public Disclosure Commission. 

In completing their candidate registration C1 forms, all nine candidates chose a mini reporting option when disclosing finances, which allows for them to not have to file frequent campaign reports as required by law and limits their fundraising and spending to $5,000 or less; similarly, choosing this option means they would not accept more than $500 in the aggregate from any contributor other than themselves.

Darrel Dickson, running for Position No. 2 on the Enumclaw City Council is the one candidate who instead opted to report his campaign finances fully; as of this past Tuesday, October 25, he has reported $7,100 in contributions and $4652.78 in expenditures. Of his total contributions, $7,000 were from his own personal funds; the amount is in line with what he reported he'd spend in his .
