Campaign Finance Summary

This data set contains a summary of information about candidate campaigns and political committees by election year. For candidate campaigns and single-year/election committees, a single record is provided that covers all activity of the campaign for the given election year. Information for continuing political committees is summarized by calendar/reporting year. The data set covers that prior 16 years plus the current election year. The data are compiled from the campaign reports deposit (C3), campaign summary reports (C4), campaign registrations (C1/C1pc) and candidate declarations and elections data provided to the PDC by the Washington Secretary of State. Records are updated in near real-time, typically less than 2 minutes from the time the campaign submits new data.

This dataset is a best-effort by the PDC to provide a complete set of records as described herewith. The PDC provides access to the original reports for the purpose of record verification.

Descriptions attached to this dataset do not constitute legal definitions; please consult RCW 42.17A and WAC Title 390 for legal definitions and additional information regarding political finance disclosure requirements.
