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 |
|---|---|---|
| Knutzen Consulting Engineers PLLC | Kennewick | $2,000 |
| PMI, Inc | Kennewick | $2,000 |
| Professional Ag Services Inc | Pasco | $1,030 |
| Design West Architects, PA | Meridian | $1,000 |
| MMEC Architecture & Interiors | Spokane | $1,000 |
| Fowler General Construction | Richland | $1,000 |
| Big D's Construction of Tri-Cities | Pasco | $500 |
| Brinkley Road LLC | Kennewick | $500 |
| Frontier Fence, Inc. | Pasco | $500 |
| Big River Sign Co | Richland | $287 |
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.
| Band | Gifts | Dollars | Share of dollars |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under $100 | 1 | $30 | 0.1% |
| $100 to $999 | 16 | $4,569 | 22.8% |
| $1,000 to $4,999 | 10 | $14,565 | 72.7% |
| $5,000 to $24,999 | 0 | $0 | no contribution fell in this band — an empty band, not missing data |
| $25,000 and over | 0 | $0 | no contribution fell in this band — an empty band, not missing data |
| Reported in aggregate, not as gifts | 7 | $874 | 4.4% |
| All contributions reported | 34 | $20,038 | 100.0% |
0 of the 27 gifts this committee reports one at a time — 0.0% of them — supplied $0, or 0.0% of the money it can be said to have raised gift by gift.
| Contributor type | Amount | Share | Gifts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business | $9,817 | 51.2% | 11 |
| Individual | $5,782 | 30.2% | 13 |
| Other | $3,565 | 18.6% | 3 |
The aggregated small giving cannot be split into givers. Washington lets gifts below the itemisation threshold be reported as a single total with no contributor named. This committee reports $874 that way, in 7 rows. The total is in the band table above and in the amount raised; the people behind it are in no public record, so no analysis of them — count, average, geography — is possible for anyone, including the PDC.

03
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 2026-09-15
Only 12% 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.

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

A further $576 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
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.

Only one cycle on file. We hold a single filing for committee 41301. 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 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.

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.
- Money that never had to be reported
- Everything here is money the law required someone to disclose. Spending that fell below a threshold, arrived after the last report, or was never reportable at all is absent, and nothing on this page can measure it. A committee’s reported total is a floor, not a ceiling.
- Whether committees on the same side are working together
- An independent expenditure that was coordinated with anyone would not be independent. Committees spending the same way in the same race may be allies, rivals for the same donors, or strangers; the filings record none of that, so we draw no bloc, alliance or network from them. No coordination edge exists anywhere in this graph — Washington has no coordination filing, so there is no document to read and no field to join on.
