Seattle political consulting firm fined $250,000 [View all]
SEATTLE (AP) - A Seattle political consulting firm has agreed to pay one of the largest election-related fines in state history for trying to conceal the source of last-minute campaign mailings and robo-calls that targeted a Democratic state senator.
The state attorney general's office announced the lawsuit settlement with Moxie Media on Friday.
The firm and its partners, Lisa MacLean and Henry Underhill, will also pay $40,000 in legal fees. If they comply with campaign reporting laws in the future, $140,000 of the penalty would be suspended.
