Did the HDC violate RCW 42.52.180 by including in its daily media clips a link to an article reporting scorecard ratings issued by NARAL to local legislators contrary to an Ethics Alert issued in September 2019?

No. There is a distinct difference between posting the actual scorecard on an official legislative website, social media account or in a publication and including a link, among many other links, in the daily media clips to an article about the scorecard.
