Public Disclosure Commission staff are coming to visit the Legislature!

On Tuesday, March 3, PDC staff will spend the day at the Washington state Legislative Building, hosting a booth to discuss the agency's mission, and participating in a work session of the House State Government and Tribal Relations Committee.

The PDC was created in 1972 with the passing of Initiative 276. The agency is governed by a five-member board appointed by the Governor's Office. Each year, the PDC receives more than 90,000 reports disclosing campaign finances, elected officials' financial interests and lobbyist spending.

More than 11 million records dating back to 2007 are available to the public at PDC.wa.gov. In the past year, the PDC has continued its work to update its online filing systems and public website to expand access to the PDC's online data and improve the filing experience for candidates, committees and lobbyists. The agency also expanded its training offerings to include lunchtime information sessions in 2025, in an effort to make training more accessible.

Staff will have a booth on the third-floor mezzanine at the rotunda from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

In the House Committee, PDC staff will give a brief presentation to committee members on the resources available to assist candidates and campaigns, and how the agency uses technology to improve access and the filer experience. The Committee work session will begin at 8:30 a.m. in JLOB Hearing Room E.

Visit us at our booth at the Washington state Legislative Building on March 3!
