    (1) Derik Davis violated North Carolina state law for his illegal cash payment to political operative Ken Robol. The State Board has fined Davis $400.00 for this illegal disbursement.

    (2) Derik Davis violated North Carolina state law for his illegal flyer that he distributed in the Cypress Landing community dated October 14, 2016. Davis failed to put a disclaimer on this flyer as mandated by North Carolina law. Davis has 15 days to admit ownership of the letter in the local newspaper of record.

Commissioner Brinn stated, "If Davis can't be honest and truthful about something as simple as following North Carolina law for campaign finance -- he can't be trusted as an elected official in any capacity. He is unfit for office."
