Every member of the Washington State Legislature files a financial disclosure. It lists who pays them, who pays their spouse, and whether anyone in their household is a registered lobbyist. The state also publishes every campaign donation and every lobbyist registration. All public. All on data.wa.gov.
Nobody connects them. We built a tool that does.
Olympia just passed an income tax. Whether you support it or oppose it, the debate raised a basic question: how well do voters actually understand the financial interests of the people making these decisions? The disclosure system collects the data. It just doesn't connect it. We think it should, regardless of which policies you support.
We publish both parties. We publish clean passes alongside findings. The methodology is the same for everyone.
