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.

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 concentrated the money is

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

79.8%

from the top 10 donors

Out of 516 itemised contributors in total.

516

itemised contributors

Who it came from

The PDC types every contributor. This does not follow a PAC’s own money back to a person — see what this page will not compute — but it does say how much arrived from individuals rather than from other organisations.

Contributions by contributor type
Contributor type	Amount	Share	Gifts
Individual	$6,228	100%	477

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.

Same-day contributions from colleagues at one employer

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.

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.

Employers with more than one contributor
Employer	Donors	Total
Monroe School District	7	$4,310

Only 29.6% of itemised donors stated an employer. The field is filled in by the donor and left blank more often than not, so both employer 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” — are excluded, because they are not a shared workplace.

Money out — where it went

$11,693

total spent

116.5%

of what it raised

Above 100% means it spent more this cycle than it took in — ordinary for a committee carrying a balance forward.

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.

A further $65 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.

Does it add up

The arithmetic, in the open. Reported contributions less reported spending is what the committee should still be holding.

Reported contributions $10,034

Reported expenditures − $11,693

Overspend $1,659

This committee reports spending more than it raised. That is not necessarily an error and is not an accusation. Contribution and expenditure reports are filed on different schedules, so a committee can appear overdrawn simply because its latest contribution report has not landed yet. We publish the subtraction rather than hiding it; the filings themselves are linked below.

Across cycles

Other filings under the same PDC committee id.

Only one cycle on file. We hold a single filing for committee 31717. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Public Disclosure Commission committee filings: Registration, contribution and expenditure totals, and the largest reported contributors. The original record is at the PDC.
Not loaded: Itemised expenditures, contributor employers, gift-size banding, and independent expenditure filings. Each is named where the page would otherwise use it.
