Gordon answers PDC complaint by Faubion

To The Eagle:

I appeared before the State of WA Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) on Sept. 25 based on a complaint filed by Bill Faubion, District Court Judge, Wahkiakum County (WC). I failed to file a Candidate Registration and a Personal Financial Affairs Statement in my 2012 candidacy for the Superior Court Judgeship against Mike Sullivan.

I am not a lawyer; I am basically an unknown, and my candidacy was solely based on my perception of the lack of judicial integrity exercised by Mr. Sullivan. I also felt and still feel his conduct with Mr. Faubion, and Faubion’s nephew, Dan Bigelow, the WC Prosecuting Attorney, needs further scrutiny.

While I lost the race 6,701 to 2,311 votes in Pacific County and 1,301 to 631 votes in WC, I claim two victories. Citizens are more aware of the continued inept professionalism of these three lawyers, and secondly, under sworn testimony, I cited some of the unethical and unprofessional activities of these three men.

It is unknown why Mr. Faubion failed to file a complaint against me in my 2010 race against his nephew. While I made a mistake in not filing the required information, I applaud the professionalism accorded me by the PDC.
