Washington State · public record
Every one of them graded by the document behind it — because a $75,000 cheque and a shared treasurer are not the same kind of fact, and most databases file them in the same drawer. Every page on this site is built from a public filing; nothing appears without the document that states it.

Most political databases give you a line between two names and let you decide what it means. This one grades the line, and the mark is the same everywhere on the site, so you can tell at a glance how much weight a link carries.

A document states it outright: this member voted this way on this bill, this committee paid this vendor this amount. Nothing was inferred to produce it.

Two documents put together on a stated field — a filer id, a bill number, an office and a district. The page always names the key, so you can check the join rather than trust it.

A shared employer and a shared date. Published because it is on file, and marked as going no further — you cannot travel through one of these to reach a third record.

And 45 we would not draw. Three people named Jordan Nguyen are three people until a document says otherwise. Each of these would have made the archive look bigger and denser, and each was a guess — a name that matched two filers, a measure that matched two pamphlet entries, a bill slug with no bill behind it.

None of these were hidden. They were only spread across enough separate filings that nobody had added them up.
47.1% of bills never got a hearing
In the latest biennium, nearly half of all bills died without a single public hearing — the most common way a bill ends.
69.8% of races were uncontested
Most Washington offices are settled before the ballot is printed, with one candidate or none.
641 reused proposition numbers
The same “Proposition 1” appears on many ballots at once, which is why a number alone will not identify a measure.
Source Computed from the assembled archive; each figure links to the report that itemises it
Every figure above is assembled from these pages, and each of them carries the source it was read from and the date it was read.
Who represents an address, and what the seat has cost to win.
3,003 pages
Everyone who has won an election in Washington — what they won, and where a filing matches, who funded it.
13,866 pages
What was introduced, what was heard, and what died without a hearing.
78,547 pages
Who funds them, where the money goes, and how concentrated it is.
620 pages
Who pays to be heard between elections, and which firms they pay to do it.
8,785 pages
Everyone who filed, and what their campaign reported.

Any number from 1 to 49, or a place name in the 47 districts mapped so far. We don’t detect your location and never will — and nothing about this search is stored.
All 49 districts
Nothing here matches that. Every district from 1 to 49 is here by number, but only 47 carry place names so far — so a place search can miss even when the district exists. Try the number, or use the state’s address lookup, which knows every district and every boundary.
Three rules the whole archive follows. They are the reason some pages tell you less than you might expect.
Washington Independents is an independent political movement. We want more people on the ballot and fewer offices decided in May. That is a position, and we hold it openly.
It is also why the record pages on this site carry no argument at all. Our positions live at /positions/, the homepage and one research report each carry a single clearly labelled block of advocacy, and everything else — every district, official, bill, measure and committee page — carries none. If you disagree with us entirely, the records here should still be usable to you.
