David Combellack was an unsuccessful candidate for Superior Court Judge of El Dorado County in the June 3, 2014 Primary Election. Committee to Elect David Combellack Judge 2014 was his candidate-controlled committee. Verne Sanders was the Committee’s treasurer. The Committee and Combellack erroneously reported on semi-annual campaign statements for the periods ending December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014, that seven different individuals were the source of a $5,000 loan, when the true source was one individual, in violation of Government Code 84211, subdivisions (f) and (g) (2 counts). In addition, the Committee, Combellack and Sanders accepted unlawful cash contributions, in violation of Government Code Section 84300, subdivision (a) (1 count) and failed to timely file four 24-hour late contributions reports, in violation of Government Code Section 84203 (1 count).
