32. That could be a reason. I'm wondering, was Becker paid for his work on the campaign in 2016?

If so, they didn't report his salary as an expenditure on their FEC filing.

And who paid the $30,000 settlement mentioned in the article? It appears that the campaign did, but these are the only $30,000 expenses reported to the FEC:

SPOKANE PUBLIC FACILITIES DISTRICT, EVENT SITE RENTAL
WATERMARK EVENT MANAGEMENT, SOUND/STAGE/LIGHTING
PEOPLE'S BANK, CREDIT CARD PAYMENT
HUBDIALER, TELEPHONE CALLS
LIVEVOX, INC., SOFTWARE
LIVEVOX, INC., SOFTWARE
WATERMARK EVENT MANAGEMENT, SOUND/STAGE/LIGHTING
BLUE WAVE POLITICAL PARTNERS LLC, CONSULTING/ACCOUNTING/COMPLIANCE
LIVEVOX, INC., SOFTWARE
LIVEVOX, INC., SOFTWARE

Despite the fact that a settlement was agreed to by the victim and the campaign, there still was a federal discrimination complaint. You can't cover that up.
