This Sunshine Week, celebrate by researching campaign and lobbyist contributions and spending – and much more – with the Public Disclosure Commission.
More than 11.5 million records – including campaign contributions and expenditures, campaign registrations, officials’ personal financial disclosures, lobbyist spending and more – are available through pdc.wa.gov.
Last year, the PDC received more than 91,000 reports from nearly 13,000 filers, and since 2007 has regulated more than $2 billion in campaign contributions.

Sunshine Week is an annual national non-partisan collaboration of civic and government groups, journalists, and members of the private sector that works to promote the importance of public records and open government. Sunshine Week 2026 is March 15-21.
The PDC was created in 1972 with the passage of Initiative 276, approved with more than 70 percent of the vote.
