Candidate vs official
What this member said while seeking the office, set against how they voted once they held it. We state only whether the two records differ — never why.
No stated positions have been collected for this member yet. This comparison needs a quote with a citation — a candidate guide, a town hall transcript, a floor video — found and recorded by a person. There is no feed of things politicians said, so an empty section here means nobody has done that reading, not that the member has never contradicted themselves and not that they have.

- House Committee on Environment & Energy

- House Committee on Rules
- House Committee on Transportation
We cannot say which of these they chair. A committee chair decides what gets a hearing, which makes the role the single most consequential fact in this section — and the roster export records membership without it. Every seat above is shown as an equal membership because that is all the record supports.

This filing was matched, not looked up. The Legislature and the PDC share no identifier. We matched Mark Klicker to PDC filer KLICM–362 because the surname, the given name, the office (State Representative) and the district (16) 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 None of them follow from the records we hold, so we do not publish them.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.

How to run for this office
This is an office, not a possession. Every seat here is filled by whoever files for it and wins, and the requirements are the same for everyone.
| Seat | Term | Next election | Filing opens |
|---|---|---|---|
| State Representative, District 16 | 2 years | 2026 | May 2026 |
What the job is. The Legislature sits for 105 days in odd-numbered years and 60 days in even ones, and the work does not stop when the session does — committee days, constituent casework and district meetings run through the interim. Someone deciding whether to file needs that more than they need anyone’s opinion of the incumbent.
Reporting follows money, not candidacy. Registering with the Public Disclosure Commission and filing contribution reports is triggered by raising and spending, not by putting your name in. A campaign that stays under the mini-reporting threshold files a short form and nothing more.
We cannot yet tell you what filing costs. The fee is one percent of the office’s annual salary (RCW 29A.24.091 — one percent of the annual salary of the office), which makes it a specific dollar amount rather than a rule — and a page that makes you compute your own filing fee has not told you the filing fee. Legislative salaries are set by the Citizens’ Commission on Salaries for Elected Officials and we do not hold that schedule, so the figure is missing rather than estimated. A candidate who cannot pay it may file a petition of signatures instead.

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.
