We defeated Facebook in court — stopping their cynical attempt to strike down Washington’s campaign finance law and holding them accountable for violating that law.
My team took on a small army of DC lawyers, flown in by Facebook —
and we won.
A judge ruled that Facebook intentionally committed numerous violations of Washington’s campaign finance law. They broke a law that requires campaign advertisers, such as newspapers, TV stations, and Facebook, to maintain records of their political ads and make them available to Washingtonians like you. In addition, the judge denied their request to strike down a key provision of our decades-old campaign finance law that requires transparency in our elections.
Tech giants, like Facebook, must follow the law just like everybody else.

Stay tuned for another update on this case. The judge will determine how much Facebook must pay in penalties at a later date. Good news — because their violation was intentional, the judge can triple the penalty.
If you are with me in making sure that tech companies like Facebook follow the law, can you chip in $10 today?
Thank you,
