PDC grants redaction where recipient campaign itemized small contributions
Summary
The commission granted a redaction request involving a small contribution to a Seattle city council campaign after staff confirmed the recipient campaign had chosen to itemize all contributions; staff clarified reporting thresholds in effect at the time of the contribution.
The Public Disclosure Commission granted a request to redact a residential address connected to a small contribution after staff confirmed the recipient campaign had chosen to itemize all contributions. Staff said the request was received on 02/16/2026 and that campaign permission to process a redaction was provided on 03/02/2026.
Chair Jay Leach and staff discussed reporting thresholds. Staff said the current threshold is "$2.50 dollars $2.50," and that at the time of the contribution the itemization threshold was $100; because the recipient campaign chose to itemize all contributions, the commission granted the relief described by staff. A telephone participant who thanked the commission asked about the threshold and staff reiterated the historical threshold and the campaign's choice to itemize contributions.
