These figures are for Brett Linneweber, District Judge, District 06 in Park County, 2012. These figures follow the same rules as the public campaign finance site, because they come from it. Only filed reports count. Money a campaign moves between its own accounts is left out, because it is not new money.

## What this record does not say about Brett Linneweber, District Judge, District 06 in Park County, 2012, data through 2026-09-30

It does not say whether Brett Linneweber won. CERS records candidacies and money, not results. Contribution totals are floors, not exact figures: the same real person or business can appear in the record more than once under spelling variants, and merging those into single identities is ongoing work. A total means "at least this much".
