Campaign Contributions
Prentice is a fund raising heavy hitter for herself and for the State Democratic party. August 2008 Washington Public Disclosure Commission records show that Prentice has raised more than $231,000 in the 2008 election year reporting period.
In a series of articles attacking Prentice, the Seattle Stranger dubbed her "Senator MoneyTree" because of her acceptance of contributions from Moneytree, a financial services company founded and headquartered in her district. Washington State Public Disclosure Commission records as of August 19, 2008 indicate that there have been no Moneytree-related contributions to the Senator since 2004 and that in the past combined 10 years, Prentice has accepted a total of $1,050 from Moneytree and/or its principals – less than half of one percent of contributions the Senator has raised in the 2008 reporting period alone.
