Professional & Technical Employees, Local 17 PAC

01

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.

Source WA PDC C-3 contributions · as of 2026-09-15 · rows $1,722 of $66,899 shown across 1 of 1,083 contributors · note amounts are printed, not charted; a sub-threshold aggregate is included in the total above and is not a giver

02

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.

0 of the 1,037 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.

Source WA PDC C-3 contributions · as of 2026-09-15 · rows 1,083 contribution rows, every one on exactly one line above — the lines add to $66,899 · bands the cut points are ours, not the state’s — Washington’s itemisation rule turns on one aggregate per contributor, not on a five-way split. An empty band is a fact, not missing data · note amounts are printed, not charted

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.

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.

04

How concentrated the money is

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

05

Money out — where it went

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.

Source WA PDC C-4 expenditures · as of 2026-09-15 · note independent expenditures and direct contributions are listed separately and never added together on a candidate’s page

06

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.

07

When the money moved

Itemised contributions in and expenditures out, by the month on the filing. Unitemised small-dollar totals carry no dates and are not in this chart — the money-in section states them.

Does it add up

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

Reported contributions $66,899

Reported expenditures − $19,399

Implied balance $47,500

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.

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.
