Money in — who funds this committee
The largest reported contributions. Washington requires committees to itemise contributions above a threshold; smaller gifts are reported in aggregate.
| Contributor | City | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| WASHINGTON STATE COUNCIL OF FIRE FIGHTERS | OLYMPIA | $15,000 |
| JAMES AARON | TACOMA | $595 |
| BLASHILL CHAD | RICHLAND | $588 |
| VAN MAREN NICHOLAS | SEATTLE | $588 |
| CAMERON MICHAEL | TACOMA | $588 |
| HART KEVIN | BATTLE GROUND | $490 |
| Schwitters William | Seattle | $368 |

Contributions are not broken down by size, and employers are not named. Washington collects an employer field for individual contributions, and gift-size banding is what separates a committee funded by a hundred neighbours from one funded by three donors. We store only the largest contributors, so neither analysis is possible here — and computing concentration from a top-ten list would produce a confident number that is simply wrong.

How the money was gathered
The PDC types every contributor. This does not follow a committee’s own money back to a person — see what this page does not show — but it does say how much arrived from individuals rather than from other organisations.
| Contributor type | Amount | Share | Gifts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual | $125,369 | 89.3% | 16,053 |
| Union | $15,000 | 10.7% | 6 |
Contributions below the itemisation threshold are not broken out here. Washington lets small gifts be reported as a single total with no contributor named. The mix above therefore covers itemised money; the small-dollar total it leaves out is inside the amount raised and cannot be split by anyone, including the PDC.

Employers behind the individual gifts
The employer of each individual contribution, as self-reported by the contributor. A company named here did not give and did not report — the string is the donor’s, normalised by us.
Colleagues who gave on the same day
Three or more people sharing an employer, giving to this committee on a single date. Money arriving together is the pattern; a shared employer on its own is not.
No same-day bundles were detected for this committee. No date shows three or more contributors sharing a stated employer giving together. That is what the filings hold, not proof no coordinated giving happened — the employer field below is blank on most gifts, so a bundle whose donors left it empty would not appear.

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.
No employer is shared by more than one contributor. Either no two itemised donors reported the same workplace, or the employer field was left blank on the gifts that would have matched. The field is optional and self-reported, so an empty table here is a gap in what donors disclosed, not a committee with no colleagues among its givers.
Last checked 2026-07-28
Only 0.4% of itemised donors stated an employer. The field is filled in by the donor and left blank more often than not, so both tables above 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” — are excluded, because they are not a shared workplace.

How concentrated the money is
Computed from every itemised contribution rather than from the largest few, which is what makes the share meaningful.

largest payees listed
Who it paid
Largest payees, with the category the committee chose when filing. A consultancy, printer or polling firm appearing across many committees is a fact about who runs campaigns in Washington.
| Payee | Amount | Payments | Category as filed |
|---|---|---|---|
| WASHINGTON STATE DEMOCRATS | $20,000 | 1 | Monetary contributions to PAC or candidate |
| WASHINGTON STATE COUNCIL OF FIRE FIGHTERS | $15,000 | 6 | Inkind contribution |
| Fuse Washington | $15,000 | 1 | Monetary contributions to PAC or candidate |
| Stronger Together PA | $10,000 | 1 | Other |
| CLARK COUNTY DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL COMMITTEE | $1,300 | 1 | Monetary contributions to PAC or candidate |
| Ian Birk for Justice | $1,200 | 1 | Monetary contributions to PAC or candidate |
| DNM ASSOCIATE | $590 | 1 | Accounting, legal, regulatory compliance, etc. |
| STRIPE | $481 | 23 | Bank and payment processing charges |
A further $86 was reported as small expenses. Washington lets a committee report spending below a threshold as a single lump with no payee. That money is in the total above and cannot be broken out by anyone, including us.

Independent expenditures by party
Money this committee reported spending for or against someone without coordinating with them. Kept apart from its ordinary spending, because folding the two together would misstate both.
No independent expenditures are on file for this committee this cycle. Most committees never make one — independent spending is concentrated in a few hundred filers. An empty section here is the PDC record, not a gap in ours.

Across cycles
Other filings under the same PDC committee id.
Only one cycle on file. We hold a single filing for committee 6371. That means it registered for one election, or that our sync covers only the cycles this one falls in — the filings do not distinguish the two.

Does it add up
The arithmetic, in the open. Reported contributions less reported spending is what the committee should still be holding.
This is what the two filings imply, not a bank balance. Committees also report cash on hand directly, and the two figures can differ where a report is outstanding.

What this page does not show
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.
- Who is really behind a committee that funds this one
- We show every contributor the committee reported, and how much of its money came from organisations rather than individuals. A committee funded by another committee is common, and following that chain to the people at the end of it means joining filings across organisations and cycles — a join we have not made, and one that would be wrong to guess at.
- Who the independent spending was aimed at
- The filings name the candidate or measure each independent expenditure supported or opposed. We hold the amounts and which way they cut, but have not joined them to those records, so the page says how much and not against whom.
- Whether the spending worked
- We hold what was raised, what was spent, and in some cases the result. Connecting them would be a causal claim from two numbers, and spending is not the only thing that moves an election.
- Anything below the itemisation threshold
- Washington lets small contributions and small expenses be reported as lump sums with no counterparty. That money is in the totals and cannot be broken out by anyone, including the PDC. Where a lump is large, the page says so.
