PDC offers dismissal for Lee Wells case if missing C4 filed by April 25
Summary
After technical problems reaching respondent Lee Wells, the PDC offered to dismiss Wells' case if the missing post‑election C4 report is filed by April 25; otherwise the matter will remain tentatively on the May 1 calendar.
The commission had difficulty connecting respondent Lee Wells by video/phone during the hearing. Chair Jay Leach offered an administratively pragmatic resolution: if Wells filed the missing C4 by April 25, the PDC would dismiss the matter and the respondent would not have a violation on record; if not, the case would be tentatively scheduled for the May 1 calendar.
Staff indicated they would attempt to contact Wells by phone after the meeting to assist with filing. The chair framed the offer as an incentive for compliance, noting the respondent had expended substantial time attempting to participate in the hearing. The commission did not enter a formal penalty at that time, pending the respondent's cure of the filing deficit.
