As more fully demonstrated below, the Commission should find no reason to believe that respondents have committed any violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 197 1, as amended, (the “Act”) or of the Commission’s regulations and close this matter as expeditiously as possible. I. Factual Background In the 2000 elections, the Senate race in the state of Washington produced the closest Senate race in the nation. Maria Cantwell, an executive with the new technology company Real Networks and a former congresswoman fiom the first district of Washington challenged incumbent Senator Slade Gorton. Eschewing special interest money in the form of PAC contributions and making early passage of campaign finance reform a central theme of her campaign, Cantwell largely self-financed her race. When she entered the race in January 2000, the so-called new technology economy was still riding high, as reflected in the stock prices of companies such as Real Networks.

    The Seattle Times Local News Thursday, March 29, 2012 - Page updated at 11:30 p.m. Why Washington state's health reform faltered after loss of mandates By Carol M. Ostrom Seattle Times health reporter As the U.S. Supreme Court tackles the question of whether individuals can be required to buy health insurance — a key provision in the federal health-care overhaul — some in Washington state are battling a strong sense of déjà vu mixed with dread. They remember 1993, when state lawmakers passed a comprehensive state law aimed at insuring everyone and spreading the health-care expenses of the sickest throughout a large pool of policyholders. But the law, which relied on both mandates and incentives, was soon dismembered, leaving only popular provisions, such as prohibiting insurers from denying coverage to sick people or making them wait many months for coverage. Without any leverage to bring healthy people onto insurance rolls, insurers, left with the priciest patients, began a financial death spiral. Ultimately, companies pulled out of the individual market and almost no one in Washington could buy an individual policy for any price. For those involved, the lessons learned remain sharp as a scalpel. "It's the same thing we're very likely to face if the Supreme Court blows a hole in the current law," warns Randy Revelle, a former King County executive who was heavily involved in the state effort nearly two decades ago. Unlike the debate going on in the high court, the lessons here don't involve constitutional questions. They're all about the realities of the health-insurance market and politics.
