08-02-2017/1400hrs.
Lt. Mike Magee, Sgt. Mike Hay, I met with City of Seattle Ethics and Elections
Commission Executive Director Wayne Barnett.
Barnett explained that on July 21'1, 2017 at approximately 1600hrs. W/Patrick

Burke came to his office to report fraudulent activity regarding candidate for City
of Seattle Council At-Large Position 8 Ms. Sheley SECREST,.
WBurke stated to W/Barnett that he began volunteering for S/SECREST in Mid-

May of 2017 and was quickly promoted to S/ SECREST's campaign manager.
WBurke stated that he and S/SECREST attended the Seattle Trans Pride Festival,
which occurred on June 23 d, 2017, to obtain the necessary (400) Contribution
Petition signatures required to qualify for the Democracy Voucher Program. Once
the candidate meets these requirements for the Democracy Program it opens up
$150,000.00 in monies to be used for the At-Large Position 8 candidate's future
and previous election expenditures. (Note: each 400+ participating Seattle. voter
is advised that along with their petition signature, a donation is required of at
least $10.00 and not more than $250.00).
W/Burke stated that he was instructed by S/SECREST to, "Just get signatures,
don't worry about the $10.00 contribution." W/Burke stated that they gathered
signatures during the Trans Pride Festival and during a break they stopped their car
at either Franklin or Garfield High School. S/SECREST asked WBurke how many
signatures they had acquired. W/Burke stated that he told S/SECREST that he
counted (56) fifty-six signatures. W/Burke stated that at that point he observed
S/SECREST.nroduce an enveloue:that contained $600.00 in V S. currencv.
S/SECREST then handed over to WBurke $560.00. W/Burke stated that he asked

S/SECREST where she had gotten the money and she replied that she had taken
it off a credit card. WBurke stated that he then observed S/SECREST began to
fraudulently write in $10.00 next to each of the voters' signatures that had signed
the Democracy Voucher Contributions Petition. WBurke observed S/SECREST
appear to try and vary her handwriting while filling in each amount in the
appropriate box next to each of the signatures as if in an effort to not make it look
suspicious.
WBurke further stated that he recalled S/SECREST on similar Contribution

Petitions, in either latie May or earl Juae, committing the same similar
fraudulent act, where S/SESCREST again used 5100.00 of her own personal.
monies to submit on her Qualification Petition of 10-signatures.
W/Burke stated that when he became aware and certain of S/SECREST's

fraudulent activity he notified, via e-mail, S/SECREST's campaign treasurer and
campaign consultant "Garrett" and "Mario". WBurke stated that he would provide
W/Barnett with any e-mail responses he received back from "Garrett" or "Mario"
regarding the original e-mail.
W/Barnett stated that candidates had to have their Contribution Petitions of

400-signatures in to the office by August 1St, 2017. At the time of this meeting
S/SECREST had not obtained the necessary 400 signatures required to qualify for
the Democracy Voucher Program.
W/Barnett stated that the candidates had an extra 45-days from August 4th, 2017,
which was the official posted results of the 11t primary election, to still submit the
remainder Contribution Petition signatures needed to reach the required 400-
signatures. Candidates could then still draw up to $150,000.00 from the
Democracy Voucher Program to pay for previous campaign expenses even though
they did not receive enough votes to continue through to the Primary Election
Process.

I viewed SECREST's Facebook page and observed the following post that
appeared to indicate she had conceded her run for Position 8:

08-15-2017/12461irs.
I spoke with W/Barnett and inquired if S/SECREST had turned in any further
Contribution Petition Pledge sheets. W/Barnett stated that his office had not
received any further sheets then the ones that he had provide me on August 2°d,
2017.
NV/Barnett further stated that Seattle Times Reporter, Bob Young, requested the
same documentation associated with S/SECREST and that he believed this request
was made due to W/Burke informing others through social media of S/SECREST's
fraudulent behavior.
WBarnett further stated that he was aware that Seattle Time reporter Young had
spoken with W/Burke and At-Large Position 8 candidate Goueli Hisam.

from "Garrett" and "Mario" and that he would provide these copies to me when we
met next.
08-15-2017 / 1852hrs.
I obtained an excerpt of Sheley SECREST's personal achievements from an article
dated 01-19-2017 in "The Seattle Medium" online publication:
Secrest, earned her Juris Doctorate at Seattle University in 2004 and

currently works as an attorney at the firm she opened in 2007.
She also is the former president of the SeattlelKirig County NAACP. During
her time with the NAACP, Secrest has helped lead the way on critical issues
such as closing the African American achievement gap, bringing the US
Justice Department into Seattle to help with police reform, and working to
help grow small business.
In addition, her work as a Policy Analyst for The Alliance for a Just Society
and The Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle has provided her with keen
insight into city policy and how it affects low income and marginalized
populations.
For four years, she also sat on the Review Board for Seattle's Office of
Professional Accountability, where she worked with City Council and the
Mayor's office to create stronger systems for civilian oversight.
Sheley Secrest is also excited to be participating in the Seattle Democracy
Voucher program and believes that this is an important step in helping bring
more diverse candidates and voices to our elections and public offices.
08-16-2017 / 0035hrs.
Due to W/Burke not having a working phone number I sent W/Burke an e-mail to
the e-mail address he had provided W/Barnett. I requested W/Burke to call me in
regards to the statement he had provided the City of Seattle Ethic office
surrounding the suspected fraudulent activity by S/SECREST.

I received a phone call from WBurke who agreed to meet with me at 1200hrs. at
the Starbucks located at 180" and Aurora Ave. N. Shoreline, WA,
08-16-2018/1045hrs.
Sgt. Mike Hay and I met with WBarnett and W/Grow regarding the SECREST
investigation.
W/Barnett provided me copies of the e-mails he had received from W/Burke as

promised. These e-mails were conversations that W/Burke had with W/Havens
regarding W/Burke's suspicions of S/SECREST's fraudulent behavior along with
monies that had not been paid as promised to W/Burke. This document was placed
into the case file.
W/Barnett further pulled up on his computer the KCTS channel 9 segment that
S/SECREST was included describing the Democracy Voucher Program. While
viewing the video, I observed S/SECRET appear to be inside a cafe soliciting
signatures. In her own words, S/SECREST stated to a suspected Seattle voter
sitting in the cafe, that she is running for city council and needs 400-signatures in
order to have her name on the ballot.
WBarnett stated that from this video he and W/Grow discussed S/SECREST
possible inaccuracies on her understanding of the Qualifying Democracy Voucher
Petition, W/ Barnett stated that W/Grow after seeing the video placed a call to the
SECREST campaign offices to confirm they understood the process of the
Democracy Program.
W/Grow provided me with her statement from when she and WBarnett had met
with SBurke on July 2111, 2017. This statement was placed into the case file. I
further obtained a recorded statement regarding the phone call she had placed to
the SECREST campaign offices with concern S/SECREST did not fully
understand the Qualifying Democracy Voucher Petition.
W/Grow stated that earlier during the campaign in March of 2017 W/Grow and
W/Barnett had viewed a KCTS video outlining the Voucher Program that included
S/SECREST obtaining signatures inside a business location, possibly a cafe. Both

W/Barnett and W/Grow were concerned when they did not hear S/SECREST
soliciting the monies along with the signatures.
W/Grow stated that within 7-days she had placed a call to the SECREST campaign
and spoke with W/Garrett Havens, SECREST's treasurer. W/Grow stated that she
explained to W/Havens that she had observed the KCTS video and did not observe
S/SECREST soliciting donation monies with each signature and wanted to be sure
that S/SECREST was aware of the policies and requirements of the Democracy
Voucher Program and that a minimum of $10.00 is required to accompany each
voter signature. W/Grow stated that W/Havens explained to her that S/SECREST
and their campaign were aware of how the Voucher Signature Program works.
08-16-2017 / 1200hrs.
Sgt. Hay, Det. Aaron Dalan and I met with WBurke at a Starbucks located in
Shoreline Washington. I interviewed W/Burke and following his interview he
provided me a recorded statement outlining his tenor with the SECREST campaign
and his suspicions of fraudulent activity during his time with her campaign.
W/Burke stated that he began his interest in politics during the Bernie Sanders
campaign.
W/Burke stated that he entered the Seattle political arena in support of John Grant
for At-Large Position 8 but in April of 2017 he left the Grant campaign over a
disconnect with his Campaign and goals that were not met.
W/Burke stated he left the Grant campaign, and immediately was hired by
S/SECREST as her campaign manager.
W/Burke stated that he provided S/SECREST with a contract agreement that

outlined his duties and pay scale, S/SECREST believed this contract should be
signed by her campaign treasurer B&B Strategies but was informed by B&B
Strategies that a campaign manager position contract needed to be signed by
S/SECREST herself. This contract was eventually signed by S/SECREST and
WBurke on June 26`x, 2017. (W/Burke later provided me a copy of this contract
with signature via e-mail, which was placed into the case file.)

WBurke stated that in his contract he had outlined a set dollar figure for the first
week and there after his pay would be based on a percentage of the amount of
monies that had been collected in the Voucher Program. The agreed upon
percentage was 11.8%.
WBurke stated that his first check he received was '/2 the amount agreed upon and
that the BECU campaign check was provided to him by B&B Strategies Garrett
Havens. WBurke stated that throughout his tenor with the SECREST campaign he
continued to request payment for his services but was always provided an excuse.
W/Burke did state that prior to signing up full time with the SECREST campaign
he was hired on as an intern with B&B Strategies. WBurke stated that B&B
Strategies at the time was representing approximately 8-candidates. W/Burke
stated that after B&B Strategies immediately observed his political knowledge and
expertise he was immediately promoted to campaign manager for the SECREST
campaign.
WBurke stated his duties as a campaign manager include showing up at all events
and prepping the voters on S/SECREST's campaign prior to her arrival, getting
volunteers to become part of her campaign, contacting media, contacting donors,
along with many other campaign issues.
W/Burke stated that one of the first events he participated with S/SECREST was
the Polish Festival at the cultural center on Capitol Hill around the 15t of May.
W/Burke stated that he arrived an hour early prior to the event and observed a line
of people forming to attend the festival. W/Burke stated that when S/SECREST
arrived his duties were to walk her down the line of people and introduce her.
W/Burke stated that when he and S/SECREST were walking the line he could hear
the way S/SECREST was presenting the Democracy Voucher Qualification Form
to potential voters was inaccurate. WBurke stated that he had to follow behind
S/SECREST and explain that it was not just a signature petition but actually a
Democracy Qualification Form. W/Burke stated that after he had fully explained
the rules and policy surrounding the Qualification Form and that along with their

signature a donation of $10.00 was required some of the voters who had already
signed the form requested that their name be scratched off the form.
WBurke stated at the end of the day he brought up the fact to S/SECREST that
they had received a number of signatures but without the necessary $10.00
donation attached to each signature. W/Burke stated that S/SECREST stated to
W/Burke, "That's ok we'll take care of it later."
W/Burke stated he would then hand over the signed forms without the dollar
amounts filled in the necessary block and assumed that S/SECREST had found a
legitimate way to take care of this issue and didn't questioned it at this time but he
made a mental note of the incident.
WBurke stated that he became aware of the rules and regulations of the
Democracy Voucher Program when he worked for the John Grant campaign along
with conducting his own research into the program. himself
WBurke understands the Democracy Voucher Qualification Program as a process

that requires voters to donate $10.00 along with their signature. W/Burke
understands that 400-signatures along with their donations is required for the
candidate to have access of up to $300,000.00 to spend on prior and future
campaign expenses.
W/Burke further observed additional policy and procedure violations by the

SECREST campaign, two of which he explained to me. WBurke stated that on
two occasions S/SECREST had paid cash for supplies and artwork that were
needed for the campaign. WBurke stated that his understanding of campaign
policy is that the candidate or his/her employees cannot pay cash for campaign
expenditures because there is no way to track those monies that need to be reported
in their expense report. W/Burke felt that S/SECREST was having to do this
because getting approval for expenditures through their Strategy company could
take anywhere from 24-48 hours and they needed these things done fast during the
height of the campaign.
W/Burke then provided a statement regarding the events that took place on Friday
June 23,d, 2017 at the Trans Pride Festival at Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill.
Page 11 of 24
CIR Rev.8l12

GO# 2017-302133

W/Burke stated that on this day he and S/SECREST arrived together at the festival
and he was prepared with all the Qualification Forms. W/Burke stated, while they
were sitting in the car, S/SECREST stated, "You know what we should do today?
Don't worry about the donations today just get the signatures."
WBurke explained the primary reason for focusing on the Qualification Vouchers
at the festival was because approximately 2-3 days prior to the Trans Pride Fest
they had received a phone call from the City of Seattle Democracy Voucher office
who had explained that 60 of their signatures from the previous Voucher Forms
they had turned into the office could not be verified through the cities verification
process. Because of this error, W/Burke stated that their sole purpose at the festival
was to get signatures and monies to meet the goal of 400 signatures to qualify for
the Voucher Program.
W/Burke stated that within just a matter of hours while at the Trans Pride Festival
they were able to obtain individually a total of 56 signatures. W/Burke stated that
he had formulated a plan to attended several events over the weekend because he
was aware of the difficulty obtaining money donations along with the voters'
signatures but after he and S/SECREST had obtained 56-signatures on this day
S/SECREST stated they would not need to work the weekend and they had enough
votes.
WBurke stated that on that following Monday they attended a meeting at Garfield
High School about the "Up Zoning". WBurke stated that City council members
were also scheduled to attend this meeting.
WBurked stated that he and S/SECREST arrived at the event early and while he
and S/SECREST were still in her car, she asked him to retrieve the Qualification
signatures from the Trans Pride Festival and count the number of signatures
obtained for that day. W/Burke stated that he tallied the number of signatures at 56.
WBurke stated he then observed S/SECREST reach down toward the left side her
door area and pull out an envelope that contained a large quantity of $20.00 bills
that were banded together in what he believed were three $200.00 bundles.
W/Bucked observed S/SECREST remove $40.00 from one bundle and put that
$40.00 in her purse and then began counting the remainder amount which she

placed with the signature documents. W/Burke asked S/SECREST where did these
monies come from and S/SECREST stated that she had taken it off her credit card.
W/Burke stated that she then brought the monies and the signatures into the event.
W/Burke stated that approximately 30-minutes into the event S/SECREST got up
and walked to the back of the room where he observed S/SECREST meeting with
their campaign financier W/Garrett Havens. WBurke then observed S/SECREST
turn over to W/Havens the signatures and the monies.
I asked W/Burke why he waited approximately 30-days to come forward and

report what he believed was inappropriate campaign issues.
W/Burke stated that it was not because he was not getting paid but the frustration
and disorganization of not getting paid was part of the reason. W/Burke stated that
after having some time to discuss S/SECREST's suspicious activities over with
others that supported or confirmed his suspicions, he decided to come forward and
report S/SECREST's to the City's Ethics department.
WBurke confirmed that he was approached by Seattle Times Reporter Bob

Young.
Det. Dalan and I terminated the interview and I provided W/Burke my business
card and advised him to call me if he had any further questions or concerns.
NV/Burke stated that he would e-mail me a copy of the signed contract signed by
S/SECREST.

I received via e-mail from WBurke a scanned copy of page 2 of the above-

S/SECREST explained her campaign to which W/Martin agreed with enough of
her ideas to sign her name on the Contribution Petition form that was provided by
S/SECREST. W/Martin confirmed her signature on the copy I presented to her and
confirmed that she did not give any money to S/SECREST or was asked to give

I presented to W/Gardener the Contribution Petition and pointed out where her
name and signature were on the page.
W/Gardener confirmed that on June 23`d, 2017 she and her partner did attend the

partner were approached by S/SECREST who explained her campaign.
W/Gardener stated that she recalled signing this petition so that S/SECREST could.
become eligible for funds and doesn't recall if she remembers being asked to
contribute but she stated that she certainly did not. When I presented a copy of the
Democracy Voucher Petition to W/Gardener observed the $10.00 amount filled in
next to her signature and stated the numerical amount written next to her name is
not in her hand writing and that she did.not donate money to S/SECREST'.
W/Gardener stated that her partner Carolyn MacGregor had also signed the form
and pointed out to me MacGregor's signature that was just above her own.
W/Gardener stated that MacGregor did not contribute to S/SECREST's campaign
on that day as well. W/Gardener stated that they were approached by Seattle Times

08-17-2017 / 0800hrs.
I was notified and observed the Seattle Times on-line article written by reporter
Bob Young regarding S/SECREST suspicion of defrauding the democracy-
voucher program.
Young's article points out having spoken to 5 Seattle voters who all stated they did
not give any money to S/SECREST.
The report provides the names of the five voters as Jennifer Estroff, Robert Carson,
Carolyn MacGregor, Laura Gardener, and Nanette Milligan. (Note: all names
listed in the article can be found on the Trans Pride Contribution Petition.)
Young stated in his article that S/SECREST strongly denied the allegations on
Wednesday and explained the reasoning behind the accusation was due to
S/SECREST terminating W/Burke from her campaign and he was upset.
The article stated that S/SECREST stated she had not taken any shortcuts or
violated any ethics and has no explanation as to why 5-voters have now stated they
did not donate any money to her campaign. S/SECREST stated in the article that
contributions were collected from all of them.

08-17-2017 / 1422hrs.
Det. Dalan and I met with W/Havens at the Marysville Starbuck and I conducted
an interview and following the interview W/Havens provided me a recorded
statement.
W/Havens stated that during the month of January he was hired by S/SECREST to

campaign account, pay bills from the campaign account, and file reports such as
expenditure reports and donation reports with the SEEC (Seattle Ethics Election
Committee) and the PDC (Washington State Public Disclosure Commission).
I asked W/Havens if he recalled in March of 2017 receiving a call from (SEEC)

employee Polly Grow.
W/Havens stated that he did remember the phone call from W/Grow and that she
spoke with him regarding a recent KCTS video that was highlighting the new
Democracy Voucher Program. W/Grow stated that the video included S/SECREST
campaigning at a business and requesting signatures so that she could be put on the

voters that she needed their signature so that she could qualify for the Democracy
Program.
I asked W/Havens if he had informed S/SECREST of the concerns the City of

Seattle Ethic Election Committee had regarding S/SECREST's not soliciting the
minimum $10.00 donation with each signature.
W/Havens stated that he did inform S/SECREST of their concerns.
I asked W/Havens to provide me with his understanding of the Democracy

Voucher Program.
W/Havens stated he understands the Qualifying Petitions as what a campaign

needs to turn-in in order so that they may qualify to receive the monies from
Democracy Voucher Program. W/Haven stated that in the heat race they need
400-signatures along with $10.00 for each signature. W/Haven stated that the
Democracy Voucher themselves are worth $25.00 each and a Seattle voter can give
their vouchers to the candidate of his/her choice.
W/Havens agreed that one of his duties as treasurer was to collect the signed
Qualifying Democracy Petition Forms from the SECREST campaign along with
accompanied donated monies that were given by the voter with his/her signature.
W/Havens agreed that he had attended a meeting at Garfield High School where
participants and city council members were discussing issues regarding the new
"Up Zoning" laws. W/Havens stated that his sole purpose of attending the meeting
was to meet with S/SECREST and obtain a batch of Qualifying Petitions along
with donations collected with those petitions. W/Havens stated that he did collect
those Qualification Vouchers along with corresponding donations from
S/SECREST and then he stayed for approximately 10-minutes to support
S/SECREST when she spoke at the meeting.
W/Haven further stated that before S/SECREST left his presence he would count
the monies received along with the amount noted next to each signature to be sure
the monies received accurately reflected the amount noted on the Democracy
Petition next to each name.

withdrawals from this account.
W/Havens stated he then compiles the petitions and then creates reports that are
then electronically filed with the SEEC and PDC. Then he hand delivers the
Qualifying petitions over to the SEEC office.
W/Havens stated that he does audit the Qualifying petitions with the moines
received,and does recall at times S/SECREST would point out signatures on the
form where she did not receive a donation.
I asked W/Havens if any amount was filled-in next to each of the signatures that
S/SECREST had pointed out as a non-donor.
W/Havens stated that he did not recall whether there was an amount filled-in on
the form but that typically they/he would make a mark next to the entry with a pen
or a pencil in order to audit the monies correctly.
I asked W/Haven if he ever observed any suspicious activity with S/SECREST

regarding her campaign.
W/Havens stated he did not see any suspicious activity during the time he was
working for S/SECREST.

was approached by S/SECRREST.
W/Milligan stated that she understood S/SECREST was running for one of the
City of Seattle Positions and that signing her petition allowed her to receive
vouchers for her campaign.
W/Milligan viewed a copy of the petition and verified that the signature was her
signature but observed the block that had the donation amount of $10.00 was

was meeting with a client named Stephanie Jamieson. (Note: Jamieson's signature
was just above Atcheson's on the petition)
Atcheson stated that the female candidate asked her and Jamieson if they would be
willing to sign some paperwork that would allow her name on the ballot to run for
Seattle City Council.
Atcheson stated that she looked at the paperwork the candidate was holding and
asked if there was any other commitment entailed in signing the petition.
Atcheson recalls S/SECREST stating, "No, I just need signatures to get on the
ballot"
Atcheson felt that this was a legitimate reason to her and it seemed that she was
just looking for signatures to get on the ballot. So, she signed the ballot.
Atcheson does not recall giving any money to S/SECREST and was surprised that
there was an amount written in the same column as her name and signature and
again stated that she doubts she gave her any money.

I telephoned and obtained a recorded statement from Carl Livingston Jr, regarding

this date but not certain of the specific date.
Livingston stated that he knows S/SECREST very well and stated that he does not
recall the exact words of the conversation S/SE,CREST has spoken to him on this
day but he's certain the conversation would have been her knowing that she would
get his support and her campaign because of their close friendship.

day.

Livingston stated that he's certain he would have given her money and it would
have been a nominal amount, probably $20.00, because he just didn't have a lot of
money at that time because he was on a tight budget.
Livingston stated that he attended one of S/SECREST's campaigns located above

Molly Moons Ice Cream store approximately 6-weeks ago, and at that time he
knows he gave her $100.00 and he may have purchased a t-shirt in addition.
Livingston was unsure whether it was paid in cash or check.

W/Jamieson stated that on the day she signed the petition she was having a

they were approached by a black female about signing a petition so that she could

and wanted to make a difference. W/Jamieson recalled S/SECREST stating that

That Lawrence A. Meyer #5127 is a Detective with the Seattle Police Department
and has reviewed the investigation conducted in Seattle Police Department Case
number 2017-302133. There is probable cause to believe that Sheley SECREST
committed the crime of False Reporting SMC 12A.16.040 within the City of
Seattle, County of King, State of Washington. This belief is predicated on the
following facts and circumstances.
That on 08-02-2017 at approximately'1400hrs, Lt. Mike Magee, Sgt, Mike Hay, I

met with City of Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission Executive Director
Wayne Barnett.
Barnett explained that on July 21St, 2017 at approximately 1600hrs. W/Patrick

Burke came to his office to report fraudulent activity regarding candidate for City
of Seattle Council At-Large Position 8 Ms. Sheley SECREST.
WBurke stated to W/Barnett that he began volunteering for S/SECREST in Mid-

May of 2017 and was quickly promoted to S/ SECREST's campaign manager.
W/Burke stated that he and S/SECREST attended the Seattle Trans Pride Festival,
which occurred on June 23rd, 2017, to obtain the necessary (400) Contribution
Petition signatures required to qualify for the Democracy Voucher Program. Once
the candidate meets these requirements for the Democracy Program it opens up
$150,000.00 in monies to be used for the At-Large Position 8 candidate's future
and previous election expenditures. (Note: each 400+ participating Seattle voter
is advised that along with their petition signature, a donation is required of at
least $10.00 and not more than $250.00).
WBurke stated to that he was instructed by S/SECREST to, "Just get signatures,
don't worry about the $10.00 contribution." WBurke stated that they gathered
signatures during the Trans Pride Festival and during a break they stopped their car
at either Franklin or Garfield High School. S/SECREST asked W/Burke how many
signatures they had acquired. W/Burke stated that he told S/SECREST that he
counted (56) fifty-six signatures. WBurke stated that at that point he observed
S/SECREST produce an envelope that contained: $600:00 in U.S. currency,..
S/SECREST then handed over to W/Burke $560,00, W/Burke stated that he asked
S/SECREST where she had gotten the money and she replied that she had taken
it off a credit card.. W/Burke stated that he then observed S/SECREST began to
fraudulently write in $16,00 next to each of the voters' signatures that had signed

GO# 2017-302133
the Democracy Voucher Contributions Petition. W/Burke observed S/SECREST

appear to try and vary her handwriting while filling in each amount in the
appropriate box next to each of the signatures as if in an effort to not make it look
suspicious.
WBurke further stated that he recalled S/SECREST on similar Contribution

Petitions, in either late Ma1r or eiirly June, committing the same similar
fraudulent act, where S/SESCREST again used $100.00 of her own personal
monies to submit on her Qaalifica#ion Petition of 10-signatures.
WBurke stated that when he became aware and certain of S/SECREST's

fraudulent activity he notified, via e-mail, S/SECREST's campaign treasurer and
campaign consultant "Garrett" and "Mario". WBurke stated that he would provide
W/Barnett with any e-mail responses he received back from "Garrett" or "Mario"
regarding the original e-mail.
W/Barnett stated that candidates had to have their Contribution Petitions of

400-signatures in to the office by August 1St, 2017. At the time of this meeting
S/SECREST had not obtained the necessary 400 signatures required to qualify for
the Democracy Voucher Program.
W/.Barnett stated that the candidates had an extra 45-days from August 4th, 2017,
which was the official posted results of the Pt primary election, to still submit the
remainder Contribution Petition signatures needed to reach the required 400-
signatures. Candidates could then still draw up to $150,000.00 from the
Democracy Voucher Program to pay for previous campaign expenses even though
they did not receive enough votes to continue through to the Primary Election
Process.

On 08-1.5-2017, at approximately 1246hrs, I spoke with W/Barnett and inquired if

S/SECREST had turned in any further Contribution Petition Pledge sheets.
W/Barnett stated that his office had not received any further sheets then the ones
that he had provide me on August 2", 2017.
W/Barnett further stated that Seattle Times Reporter, Bob Young, requested the
same documentation associated with S/SECREST and that he believed this request
was made due to WBurke informing others through social media of S/SECREST's
fraudulent behavior.
WBarnett further stated that he was aware that Seattle Time reporter Young had
spoken with WBurke and At-Large Position 8 candidate Goueli Hisam.
WBarnett further stated that he had received from WBurke the e-mail responses
from "Garrett" and "Mario" and that he would provide these copies to me when we

who agreed to meet with me at 1200hrs. at the Starbucks located at 1801and
Aurora Ave. N. Shoreline, WA.
At approximately 1045hrs, Sgt. Mike Hay and I met with WBarnett and W/Grow
regarding the SECREST investigation.
W
./Barnett provided me copies of the e-mails he had received from W/Burke as
promised. These e-mails were conversations that W/Burke had with W/Havens
regarding WBurke's suspicions of S/SECREST's fraudulent behavior along with
monies that had not been paid as promised to WBurke. This document was placed
into the case file.
W/Bamett further pulled up on his computer the KCTS channel 9 segment that
S/SECREST was included describing the Democracy Voucher Program. While
viewing the video, I observed S/SECRET appear to be inside a cafe soliciting
signatures. In her own words, S/SECREST stated to a suspected Seattle voter
sitting in the cafe, that she is running for city council and needs 400-signatures in
order to have her name on the ballot.
WBarnett stated that from this video he and W/Grow discussed S/SECREST
possible inaccuracies on her understanding of the Qualifying Democracy Voucher
Petition. W/ Barnett stated that W/Grow after seeing the video placed a call to the
SECREST campaign offices to confirm they understood the process of the
Democracy Program.
W/Grow provided me with her statement from when she and WBamett had met
with S/Burke on July 21St, 2017. This statement was placed into the case file. I
further obtained a recorded statement regarding the phone call she had placed to
the SECREST campaign offices with concern S/SECREST did not fully
understand the Qualifying Democracy Voucher Petition.
W/Grow stated that earlier during the campaign in March of 2017 W/Grow and
W/Barnett had viewed a KCTS video outlining the Voucher Program that included
S/SECREST obtaining signatures inside a business location, possibly a cafe. Both

soliciting the monies along with the signatures.
W/Grow stated that within 7-days she had placed a call to the SECREST campaign
and spoke with W/Garrett Havens, S.ECREST's treasurer. W/Grow stated that she
explained to W/Havens that she had observed the KCTS video and did not observe
S/SECREST soliciting donation monies with each signature and wanted to be sure
that S/SECREST was aware of the policies and requirements of the Democracy
Voucher Program and that a minimum of $10.00 is required to accompany each
voter signature. W/Grow stated that W/Havens explained to her that S/SECREST
and their campaign were aware of how the Voucher Signature Program works.
On 08-16-2017, at approximately 1200hrs, Sgt. Hay, Det. Aaron Dalan and I met
with W/Burke at a Starbucks located in Shoreline Washington. I interviewed
W/Burke and he provided me a recorded statement outlining his tenor with the
SECREST campaign and his suspicions of fraudulent activity during his time with
her campaign.
W/Burke stated that he began his interest in politics during the Bernie Sanders
campaign.
WBurke stated that he entered the Seattle political arena in support of John Grant
for At-Large Position 8 but in April of 2017 he left the Grant campaign over a
disconnect with his Campaign and goals that were not met.
W/Burke stated he left the Grant campaign and immediately was hired by
S/SECREST as her campaign manager.
W/Burke stated that he provided S/SECREST with a contract agreement that

outlined his duties and pay scale. S/SECREST believed this contract should be
signed by her campaign treasurer B&B. Strategies but was informed by B&B
Strategies a campaign manager position contract needed to be signed by
S/SECREST herself. This contract was eventually signed by S/SECREST and
W/Burke on June 26th, 2017. (W/Burke later provided me a copy of this contract
with signature via e-mail, which was placed into the case file.)
W/Burke stated that in his contract he had outlined a set dollar figure for the first
week and there after his pay would be based on a percentage of the amount of
monies that had been collected in the Voucher Program. The agreed upon
percentage was 11.8%.

WBurke stated that his first check he received was 1/2 the amount agreed upon and
that the BECU campaign check was provided to him by B&B Strategies Garrett
Havens. W/Burke stated that throughout his tenor with the SECREST campaign he
continued to request payment for his services but was always provided an excuse.
W/Burke did state that prior to signing up full time with the SECREST campaign
he was hired on as an intern with B&B Strategies. W/Burke stated that B&B
Strategies at the time was representing approximately 8-candidates. W/Burke
stated that after B&B Strategies immediately observed his political knowledge and
expertise he was immediately promoted to campaign manager for the SECREST
campaign.
W/Burke stated his duties as a campaign manager include showing up at all events
and prepping the voters on S/SECREST's campaign when she would arrive late,
getting volunteers to become part of her-campaign, contacting media, contacting
donors, along with many other campaign issues.
WBurke stated that one of the first events he participated with S/SECREST was
the Polish Festival at the cultural center on Capitol Hill around the 1ST of May.
W/Burke stated that he arrived an hour early prior to the event and observed a line
of people forming to attend the festival. W/Burke stated that when S/SECREST
arrived his duties were to walk her down the line of people and introduce her.
WBurke stated that when he and S/SECREST were walking the line he could hear
the way S/SECREST was presenting the Democracy Voucher Qualification Form
to potential voters was inaccurate. W/Burke stated that he had to follow behind
S/SECREST and explain that it was not just a signature petition but actually a
Democracy Qualification Form. W/Burke stated that after he had fully explained
the rules and policy surrounding the Qualification Form and that along with their
signature a donation of $10.00 was required some of the voters who had already
signed the from requested that their name be scratched off the form.
W/Burke stated at the end of the day he brought up the fact to S/SECREST that
they had received a number of signatures but without the necessary $10.00
donation attached to each signature. WBurke stated that S/SECREST stated to
W/Burke, "That's ok we'll take care of it later."

W/Burke stated he would then hand over the signed forms without the dollar
amounts filled in the block and assumed that S/SECREST had found a legitimate
way to take care of this issue and didn't questioned it at this time but he made a
mental note of the incident.
W/Burke stated that he became aware of the rules and regulations of the
Democracy Voucher Program when he worked for the John Grant campaign along
with conducting his own research into the program himself.
WBurke understands the Democracy Voucher Qualification Program as a process

that requires voters to donate and along with their signature a $10.00 donation.
W/Burke understands that 400-signatures along with their donations is required for
the candidate to have access of up to $300,000.00 to spend on prior and future
campaign expenses.
WBurke further observed additional policy and procedure violations by the

SECREST campaign, two of which he explained to me. W/Burke stated that on
two occasions S/SECREST had paid cash for supplies and artwork that were
needed for the campaign. W/Burke stated that his understanding of campaign
policy is that the candidate or his/her employees cannot pay cash for campaign
expenditures because there is no way to track those monies that need to be reported
in their expense report. W/Burke felt that S/SECREST was having to do this
because getting approval for expenditures through their Strategy company could
take anywhere from 24-48 hours and they needed these things done fast during the
height of the campaign.
W/Burke then provided a statement regarding the events that took place on Friday
June 231, 2017 at the Trans Pride Festival at Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill.
W/Burke stated that on this day he and S/SECREST arrived together at the festival
and he was prepared with all the Qualification Forms. W/Burke stated, while they
were sitting in the car, S/SECREST stated, "You know what we should do today?
Don't worry about the donations today just get the signatures."
W/Burke explained the primary reason for focusing on the Qualification Vouchers
at the festival was because approximately 2-3 days prior to the Trans Pride Fest
they had received a phone call from the City of Seattle Democracy Voucher office
who had explained that 60 of their signatures from the previous Voucher Forms
they had turned into the office could not be verified through the cities verification
process. Because of this error, WBurke stated that their sole purpose at the festival

f.
was to get signatures and monies to meet the goal of 400 signatures to qualify for
the Voucher Program.
WBurke stated that within just a matter of hours while at the Trans Pride Festival
they were able to obtain individually a total of 56 signatures. W/Burke stated that
he had formulated a plan to attended several events over the weekend because he
was aware of the difficulty obtaining money donations along with the voters'
signatures but after he and S/SECREST had obtained 56-signatures on this day
S/SECREST stated they would not need to work the weekend and they had enough
votes.
W/Burke stated that on that following Monday they attended a meeting at Garfield
High School about the "Up Zoning". WBurke stated that City council members
were also scheduled to attend this meeting.
W/Burked stated that he and S/SECREST arrived at the event early and while he
and S/SECREST were still in her car, she asked him to retrieve the Qualification
signatures from the Trans Pride Festival and count the number of signatures
obtained for that day. WBurke stated that he tallied the number of signatures at 56.
W/Burke stated he then observed S/SECREST reach down toward the left side her
door area and pulled out an envelope that contained a large quantity of $20.00 bills
that were banded together in what he believed were three $200.00 bundles.
W/Burked observed S/SECREST remove $40.00 from one bundle and put that
$40.00 in her purse and then began counting the remainder amount which she
placed with the signature documents. WBurke asked S/SECREST where did these
monies come from and S/SECREST stated that she had taken it off her credit card.
W/Burke stated that she then brought the monies and the signatures into the event.
W/Burke stated that approximately 30-minutes into the event S/SECREST got up
and walked to the back of the room where he observed S/SECREST meeting with
their campaign financier W/Garrett Havens. W/Burke then observed S/SECREST
turn over to W/Havens the signatures and the monies.
When I asked WBurke why he waited approximately 30-days to come forward

and report what he believed was inappropriate campaign issues.
WBurke stated that it was not because he was not getting paid but the frustration
and disorganization of not getting paid was part of the reason. WBurke stated that
after having some time to discuss the incidents over with others he knew would not .

bring immediate attention to the issue he decided to come forward and report
S/SECREST's fraudulent behavior to the City's Ethics department.
W/Burke confirmed that he was approached by Seattle Times Reporter Bob

Young.
Det. Dalan and I terminated the interview and I provided W/Burke my business
card and advised him to call me if he had any further questions or concerns.
W/Burke stated that he would e-mail me a copy of the signed contract signed by
S/SECREST.
On 08-16-2017, at approximately 1403hrs, I received via e-mail from W/Burke a

scanned copy of page 2 of the above-mentioned contract that was said to have been
signed by S/SECREST,
On 08-16-2017, at approximately 1630hrs, Det. Dalan and I met with W/Emily

Martin and obtained a recorded statement that was placed into the case file.
W/Martin advised that she did attend the Trans Pride festival on Friday June. 23rd
2017 and was approached by S/SECREST: W/Martin stated that S/SECREST
explained her campaign to which W/Martin agreed with enough of her ideas to
sign her name on the Contribution Petition form that was provided by
S/SECREST. W/Martin confirmed her signature on the copy I presented to her and
confirmed that she dad not give any money to S/SECREST or was asked to give
any money.
On 08-16-2017, at approximately 1747hrs. Det. Dalan and I met with and

interviewed W/Gardener. I further obtained a recorded statement from W/Laura
Gardener.
I presented to W/Gardener the Contribution Petition and pointed out where her
name and signature were on the page.
W/Gardener confirmed that on June 23rd, 2017 she and her partner did attend the
Trans Pride festival at Cal Anderson Park. W/Gardener stated that she and her
partner were approached by S/SECREST who explained her campaign and stated
that she recalled signing this petition so that she could become eligible for funds
and doesn't recall if she remembers being asked to contribute but she stated that
she certainly did not. S/SECREST further observed the $10.00 amount filled in

S/SECREST.
W/Gardener stated that her partner Carolyn MacGregor had also signed the form
and pointed out to me MacGregor's signature that was just above her own.
W/Gardener stated that MacGregor did not contribute to S/SECREST's campaign
on that day as well. W/Gardener stated that they were approached by Seattle Times
reporter Bob Young and provide him the same statement.
On 08-16-2017, at approximately 1814hrs, Det. Dalan and I contacted W/Jess

Winninghoff and interviewed him outside his house. W/Winninghoff stated that on
Friday June 23,d, 2017 he did attend the Trans Pride festival at Cal Anderson park
and while he and some friends were all sitting on a blanket they were approached
by S/SECREST who explained her campaign platform but never requested money
along with his signature when he signed the Contribution Form. I showed
W/Winninghof a copy of the contribution petition that he signed and he confirmed
his signature but did not give any monies to S/SECREST, even though the form
indicates he had given $10.00. W/Winninghof further confirmed that he's certain
his roommate W/Rose Renfield did not contribute any monies that day along with
his signature as well. W/Renfield was unavailable to interview due health issues.
On 08-17-2017, at approximately 0800hrs. I was notified and observed the Seattle

Times on-line article written by reporter Bob Young regarding S/SECREST
suspicion of defrauding the democracy-voucher program.
Young's article points out having spoken to (5) five Seattle voters who all stated
they did not give any money to S/SECREST.
The report provides the names of the five voters as Jennifer Estroff, Robert Carson,
Carolyn MacGregor, Laura Gardener, and Nanette Milligan. (Note: all names
listed in the article can be found on the Trans Pride Contribution Petition.)
Young stated in his article that S/SECREST strongly denied the allegations on
Wednesday and explained the reasoning behind the accusation was due to
S/SECREST terminating W/Burke from her campaign and he was upset.
The article stated that S/.SECREST stated she had not taken any shortcuts or
violated any ethics and has no explanation as to why 5-voters have now stated they
did not donate any money to her campaign. S/SECREST stated in the article that
contributions were collected from all of them.

Garrett Havens. Havens agreed to meet with me in Marysville at 1400hrs.
On 08-17-2017, at approximately 1.237hrs, Det. Dalan and I interviewed and

obtained a recorded statement from Richard Davis at his residence.
W/Davis recalled being at Cal Anderson Park on June 23rd, 2017 while he and a
friend were walking his dog. W/Davis stated they were approached by
S/SECREST who explained she was running for a position for the city of Seattle.
W/Davis stated that after listening to her ideas and reasons for running for the city
of Seattle position he agreed to sign the form with his understanding it was to get
her on the ballot. W/Davis does recall speaking about the vouchers and that he
agreed to make the vouchers he had received in the mail available to her for her
campaign. W/Davis stated that at no time during this meeting with S/SECREST
did he ever hand over any monies to S/SECREST.
On 08-17-2017, at approximately 1422hrs, Det. Dalan and I met with W/Havens at

the Marysville Starbuck and I interviewed and obtained a recorded statement.
W/I-Iavens stated that during the month of January he was hired by S/SECREST as
providing compliance and treasury work, along with some web design and
maintenance of that web page.
W/Havens stated that as a treasurer he would make deposits into the campaign
account, pay bills from the campaign account, and file reports such as expenditure
reports and donation reports with the SEEC (Seattle Ethics Election Committee)
and the PDC (Washington State Public Disclosure Commission),
I asked W/Havens if he recalled in March of 2017 receiving a call from (SEEC)

employee Polly Grow.
W/Havens stated that he did remember the phone call from W/Grow and that she
spoke with him regarding a recent KCTS video that was highlighting the new
Democracy Voucher Program. 'AT/Grow stated that the video included S/SECREST
campaigning at a business and requesting signatures so that she could be put on the
ballot. W/Havens stated that he realized that S/SECREST should be advising the
voters that she needed their signature so that she could qualify for the Democracy
Program.

I asked W/Havens if he had informed S/SECREST of the concerns the City of

Seattle Ethic Election Committee had regarding S/SECREST's not soliciting the
minimum $10.00 donation with each signature.
W/Havens stated that he did inform S/SECREST of their concerns.
I asked W/Havens to provide me with his understanding of the Democracy

Voucher Program.
W/Havens stated he understands the Qualifying Petitions as what a campaign

needs to turn-in in order so that they qualify to receive the monies from
Democracy Voucher Program. W/Haven stated that in the heat race they need
400-signatures along with $10.00 for each signature. W/Haven stated that the
Democracy Voucher themselves are worth $25.00 each and a Seattle voter can give
their vouchers to the candidate of his/her choice.
W/Havens agreed that one of his duties as treasurer was to collect the signed
Qualifying Democracy Petition Forms from the SECREST campaign along with
accompanied donated monies that were given by the voter with his/her signature.
W/Havens agreed that he had attended a meeting at Garfield High School where
participants and city council members were discussing issues regarding the new
"Up Zoning" laws. W/Havens stated that his sole purpose of attending the meeting
was to meet with S/SECREST and obtain a batch of Qualifying Petitions along
with donations collected with those petitions. W/Havens stated that he did collect
those Qualification Vouchers along with corresponding donations from
S/SECREST and then stayed for approximately 10-minutes to support S/SECREST
when she spoke at the meeting. Prior to this recording W/Haven stated that before
S/SECREST left his presence he would count the monies reflected the amount
shown to be donated in the designated box on the form.
W/Havens stated that those collected monies are then deposited into S/SECREST's
campaign account held with BECU. (Boeing Employees Credit Union)
W/Havens stated that W/Havens and S/SECREST have signature authority for the
campaign account but stated that S/SECREST has never made deposits or
withdrawals from this account.

W/Havens stated he then compiles the petitions and then creates reports that are
then electronically filed with the SEEC and PDC. Then he hand delivers the
Qualifying petitions over to the SEEC office.
W/Havens stated that he does audit the Qualifying petitions with the Moines
received and does recall at. time S/SECREST would point out signatures on the
form where she did not receive a donation.
When I asked W/Havens whether those voters' signatures that S/SECREST

pointed out as not providing a contribution did he happen to see if the Donation
Block was filled in with an amount.
W/Havens stated that he did not recall whether there was an amount filled-in on
the form but that typically they/he would make a mark next to the entry with a pen
or a pencil.
I asked W/Haven if he ever observed any suspicious activity with S/SECREST

regarding her campaign,
W/Havens stated he did not see any suspicious activity during the time he was
working for S/SECREST.
On 08-17-2017, at approximately 1715hrs, I obtained a telephone recorded

statement from Witness Jess Winninghof.
W/Winninghof provided a similar recorded statement as the one he had provided

the other day verbally stating at the time that he was approached by S/SECREST
during the Tran Pride Festival and that after S/SECREST had explained her
platform he signed her petition along with 10 of his friends.
When .I had advised W/Winninghof that in addition to his signature on the form I
refreshed his memory of the block on the form that indicated that he had donated
$10.00 to S/SECRF,ST.
W/Winninghof stated that he does not recall giving S/SECREST any monies.
W/Winninghof further stated that her husband, Rose Renfield, whose name I had
pointed out on the signature form the prior day believed he did not give any monies
either.

On 08-17-2017, at approximately 1845hrs, Det. Dalan and I met with witness

Nanette Milligan who I interviewed and obtained a recorded statement.
W/Milligan confirmed she was at Cal Anderson Park on June 23rd, 2017 when she
was approached by S/SECREST.
W/Milligan stated that she understood S/SECREST was running for one of the
City of Seattle Positions and that signing her petition allowed her to receive
vouchers for her campaign.
W/Milligan viewed a copy of the petition and verified that the signature was her
signature but observed the block that had the donation amount of $10.00 was
incorrect and that she did not give any money to S/SEC.REST.
On 08-18-2017, at approximately 1218hrs, I placed a call to S/SECREST and

reach S/SECREST's voicemail. I left a message for S/SECREST to give me a call
regarding the investigation.
On 08-18-2017, at approximately 1815hrs. I received a call from S/SECREST's

attorney, Jennifer Miller, who agreed to meet me on 08-23-2017.
On 08-22-2017, at approximately 1030hrs, Det. Dalan met with W/Julian Tiffay at

1642 S. Weller St. Seattle, WA. Dot. Dalan interviewed and obtained a taped
statement from W/Tiffay.
Tiffay advised that on June 23rd, 2017 he attended Pride Fest at Cal Anderson Park.
W/Tiffay stated that while attending the Pride Fest he was approached by a female
Seattle city candidate.
W/Tiffay stated that the candidate stated her platform which include equal housing
rights and then asked if she could get his signature because she needed a number of
signatures in order to run.
W/Tiffay stated that at no time did W/Tiffay ever give the candidate any money
along with W/Tiffay's signature.
08-23-2017 / 0953hrs.
I obtained a telephone recorded statement from Elizabeth Atcheson regarding her
name and signature found on page 4 of the SECREST Contribution Petitions,
which was not part of the Trans Pride Festival petition signatures.

GO## 2017-302133
Atcheson stated that she does recall being approached by an Africian American
female who she described as being lovely and articulate. W/Atcheson stated that
she remembers meeting this female candidate on March 28th, 2017 at a coffee shop
located on 12`h Ave near the Seattle University. She recalled the date because she
was meeting with 'a client named Stephanie Jamieson. (Note: Jamieson's signature
was just above Atcheson's on the petition)
Atcheson stated that the female candidate asked her and Jamieson if they would be
willing to sign some paperwork that would allow her name on the ballot to run for
Seattle City Council.
Atcheson stated that she looked at the paperwork the candidate was holding and
asked if there was any other commitment entailed in signing the petition.
Atcheson recalls S/SECREST stating, "No, I just need signatures to get on the
ballot"
Atcheson felt that this was a legitimate reason to her and it seemed that she was
just looking for signatures to get on the ballot. So, she signed the ballot.
Atcheson does not recall giving any money to S/SECREST and was surprised that
there was an amount written in the same column as her name and signature and
again stated that she doubts she gave her any money.
On 08-23-2017, at approximately 1036hrs, I telephoned and obtained a recorded

statement from Carl Livingston Jr. regarding his signature that was found on page
5 of a SECREST Contribution Petition.
Livingston stated that he recalled being approached by Sheley SECREST around

this date but not certain of the specific date.
Livingston stated that he knows S/SECREST very well and stated that he does not
recall the exact words of the conversation S/SECREST has spoken to him on this
day but he's certain the conversation would have been her knowing that she would
get his support and her campaign because of their close friendship.
1 asked Livingston if he recalled giving/donating money to S/SECREST on this

day.
car r497 PrinfAd On nct.24-2017 (Tue.) Page 412 of 416

GO#2017-302133
Livingston stated that he's certain he would have given her money and it would
have been a nominal amount, probably $20.00, because he just didn't have a lot of
money at that time because he was on a tight budget.
Livingston stated that he attended one of S/SECREST's campaigns located above

Molly Moons Ice Cream store approximately 6-weeks ago, and at that time he
knows he gave her $100.00 and he may have purchased a t-shirt in addition.
Livingston was unsure whether it was paid in cash or check.
On 08-23-2017, at approximately 1310hrs, I obtained a recorded statement from

witness Stephanie Jamieson regarding the contact she had with S/SECREST.
W/Jamieson stated that she thought this interaction occurred during the summer
and not in March but she would double check her appointment schedule and get
back to me on the date.
W/Jamieson stated that on the day she signed the petition she was having a
meeting with W/Atcheson at a Starbucks on 121" Ave. near Seattle University when
they were approached by a black female about signing a petition so that she could
run for city council. S/SECREST stated that she had grown up in the neighborhood
and wanted to make a difference. W/Jamieson recalled S/SECREST stating that
signing this petition would enable her to run in the election.
W/Jamieson stated that she recalled both her and W/Atcheson signed the petition.
I advised W/Jamieson that there was a $10.00 amount filled in the donation
column of the petition.
W/Jamieson stated that this amount is false and that she did not give S/SECREST
any monies and stated that at the time of this statement she has not given any
candidates any money.
W/Jamieson stated she signed the petition because she felt that S/SECREST
deserved a chance on the ballot.
On 08-23-2017, at approximately 1330hrs, I received an e-mail from W/Jamieson

stating that her calendar notes, reference an appointment date with W/Atcheson
was on 07-13-2017 1030-1130hrs, which she believed should have been the same
time she signed the above-mentioned petition.

I reviewed the cell phone screen shot messages between Burke and SECREST and
it appears that the messages surround Burke requesting payment for service he
provided to SECREST's campaign and if he is not paid he will take the case to
small claims court. Burke further mentioned on a July 7"' text that he is aware of
SECREST using her own money, $560.00, to get qualified.
I asked if S/SECREST wished to provide a statement regarding the allegations and

she and her attorney evoked her right to not provide a statement.
On 08-23-2017, at approximately 1450hrs, I spoke with W/Barnett regarding the

Contributions Petition reports being a filed, registered, or recorded document with
public office.
W/Barnett stated that these Contribution Petitions are filed and recorded with the
city as part of the elections process for the Democracy Voucher Program.
W/Barnett further stated that along with these forms the candidate submits with the
city clerk's office a Report of Contribution C-3 Form, which is also recorded and
filed with the city.
On 10-24-2017 I forwarded the case to City of Seattle Municipal with a request for
