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.

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.
| Date | Cycle | Employer | Donors | Total |

This shows money arriving together, not who arranged it. An office collection, a fundraiser one colleague hosted, a firm’s partners each writing a cheque on the day they were asked — all three look identical in the filings, and all three are legal. Nothing here says the employer knew, still less that it directed anyone. The record gives the date and the shared workplace; the reason is not in it.
Last checked 2026-08-07
Only 31.4% of named donors stated an employer. The field is filled in by the donor and left blank more often than not, so both tables show what we can see rather than everything that exists. Treat the counts as a floor. Occupations reported in the employer box — “retired”, “self-employed”, “homemaker” — are excluded, because they are not a shared workplace.

This filing was matched, not looked up. The Legislature and the PDC share no identifier. We matched Ryan Calkins to PDC filer CALKR 104 because the surname, the given name, the office (State Representative) and the district () all agree, and because only one person fits. If that is the wrong person, tell us at corrections@washingtonindependents.org and we will unpublish this section while we check — see Corrections.

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 None of them follow from the records we hold, so we do not publish them.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.

On the record
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.
