State Representative Gerry Pollet

01

Candidate vs official

What this member said while seeking the office, set against how they voted once they held it. We state only whether the two records differ — never why.

02

Voting record

Recorded floor votes across every session we hold. Committee votes are not included — those are recorded per committee, not per member.

Who funds this seat

Campaign finance reported to the Public Disclosure Commission. The record and the PDC share no identifier, so this is a join — on surname, given name, chamber and district for a legislator, and on the office won and the county it was won in for everyone else. Only where one person fits.

By campaign

Largest reported contributors

Colleagues who gave on the same day

Three or more people sharing an employer, giving to one of this member’s campaigns on a single date. Money arriving together is the pattern; a shared employer on its own is not. Across every campaign we hold, not just the most recent.

Employers behind more than one donor

Across the whole cycle rather than a single day. Weaker than the table above, and included because a slow accumulation from one workplace is still worth being able to see.

What this page will not compute

Each of these is a number a reader might reasonably expect. None of them follow from the records we hold, so we do not publish them.

What the money bought

Where a filing is matched we show what was raised and from whom. Connecting that to how the member voted would be a causal claim from two records that were never linked, and campaign money is not the only thing that moves a vote.

A complete funding career

Cycles are shown back to 2009. A member who served before that has earlier campaigns we do not hold, so the career total is a floor rather than a lifetime figure.

Employers we cannot see

The employer field is filled in by the donor and left blank more often than not, so the bundling table shows employers we can see rather than every one that exists.

Whether a difference was a broken promise

Where a stated position and a vote differ we show both records and say only that they differ. Why is not in either one — an amendment, a procedural vote, or a bill that changed under the member all produce the same pair.

A complete set of statements

Positions are found and cited one at a time by a person. An empty or short list means nobody has done that reading, not that a member has said little.

Advertising

Meta’s ad library and PDC independent expenditures targeting this member are both public and neither is loaded.

What a divergent vote means

We can say a member voted against their party’s majority on a given roll call. Whether that was principle, a local interest, a drafting objection or a trade is not in the record, and the count is not a measure of independence.

Committee influence

Chair and ranking-member roles decide which bills get heard. The roster gives membership without role, so every seat here looks alike.

A member’s response

The design reserves space for one. We have no process yet for soliciting or publishing it, so the section is absent rather than empty.

How to run for this office

This is an office, not a possession. Every seat here is filled by whoever files for it and wins, and the requirements are the same for everyone.

Nothing on file

No funding edge is published. Campaign finance and the Legislature roster share no key, and matching people by name across the two produces wrong pairs often enough to be worse than nothing. No lobbying edge either: Washington lobbying filings name neither bills nor legislators.

Where this page comes from

Every figure above is read from a primary source and rebuilt on a schedule. Nothing here is modelled or inferred; where a source is silent the page says so rather than filling the gap.

WA Legislature member roster

Name, party, district, chamber and contact details, per session served.

WA Legislature roll call service

Every recorded floor vote. Committee votes are recorded per committee rather than per member and are not included.

Party divergence

Derived, not published by the Legislature. For each roll call we take the majority position of the member’s own party and flag votes against it, counting only roll calls where that party had a clear majority.

WA Legislature legislation records

Prime sponsorship, and each bill’s outcome and hearing status. Co-sponsorship is not in the record we hold.

Public Disclosure Commission candidate filings

Contributions, expenditures, the largest reported contributors and their stated employers, for every cycle back to 2007. Matched on surname and given name plus chamber and district for a legislator, or the office won and the county it was won in for everyone else — never on name alone — and only published where one person fits. Across the record that resolves 1,938 of 13,879 officials over 3,548 cycles, with 45 refused as ambiguous; the rest say why they did not match.

Not loaded

Public statements, advertising, committee roles, and committee votes by member.
