PDC Grants William Dreher Privacy Requests, Seeks Clarification on Spouse's Firm Clients
Summary
The commission granted candidate William Dreher an alternative-address modification and limited client-privacy for private clients of Martinez and Farmer LLP, but asked Dreher to ask the firm whether it received payments over $12,000 from any subdivisions of the state of Washington and to report back.
PDC staff presented William Dreher's two-part request: an exemption from disclosing his personal residence (he has used an alternative address) citing prior work as a prosecutor and threats tied to his candidacy, and an exemption from listing business and governmental customers who paid $12,000 or more to Martinez and Farmer LLP, a law firm in which his spouse has a general partnership interest.
Chair Leach granted the address portion and granted the client-privacy request for private clients, but asked Dreher to ask the firm whether it had received payments of more than $12,000 from any subdivision of the state of Washington in the last 12 months and to provide whatever response he receives so the commission can finalize that portion. Leach said the commission would issue the order granting the request and hold over any unresolved portion only if Dreher did not provide the requested information.
