Campaign spending: Top 1st quarter political donation recipients in Washington in 2020

Campaigncash45

These are the political organizations that received the most money from campaign donations in Washington from January 1 to March 31, 2020, according to the Federal Election Commission.

Donations made to political groups or candidates must be disclosed under state law for greater transparency in elections according to Washington's Public Disclosure Commission. While Congress created the Federal Election Commission to oversee federal elections in 1974, each state is left to regulate its local elections. The Government Accountability Office reviews current campaign finance law and makes recommendations for how to keep the laws relevant.
