A glance at campaign funding

Do you wonder where County Council District 1 candidates are getting their dollars?
All campaign funding information is available through the Public Disclosure Commission (www.pdc.wa.gov/QuerySystem/candidates.aspx). The site includes reports of donations, in-kind contributions and expenditures.
As of Friday afternoon, incumbent John Koster had raised $56,242.26, and opponent Ellen Hiatt Watson had $10,424.50.
On the commission's Web site, each donation is entered as it is received. For simplicity, in the following list, donations from the same person, couple or company have been added together.
