About
This archive preserves campaign finance data published by the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission via the Washington Open Data Portal. Data is mirrored locally and served through a SODA 2-compatible API — swap the hostname in your existing queries and they continue to work.
The public API is unauthenticated — no API keys required.
