Campaigns are required to file weekly reports of the contributions received, and monthly reports of their expenditures. You can find the reports and overview data at our state’s Public Disclosure Commission website, www.pdc.wa.gov. But you need to dig a little deeper to find out the most interesting tidbits!
Host Evelyn Lopez is joined again by election and campaign finance sleuth Joe Lopez to dissect the 2019 campaigns for Tacoma City Council, Port of Tacoma Commissioners, and Tacoma School District 10. We’re pretty sure you will learn something new about independent expenditures, surplus funds accounts, and the dreaded mini reporting campaigns.
Who and what may be influencing local election races? What may be going on behind the scenes? And what campaigns are completely in the dark? All that, and discussion about other current issues in the City of Destiny!
Let us know what you think and if you have any questions.
