Question/Complaint
May a legislator post legislative materials on the legislator’s campaign website?
Summary
No. Previous board decisions have allowed legislators’ campaigns to link to legislatively prepared materials, but have prohibited posting those materials directly on campaign websites. In this case, there was a single post, made over three years before the complaint was filed, and was deleted upon the respondent being informed of the complaint. Complaint dismissed under RCW 42.52.425.
