These figures are for Eric Semerad, County Clerk & Recorder/Surveyor in Gallatin County, 2022. These figures follow the same rules as the public campaign finance site, because they come from it.

What this record does not say about Eric Semerad, County Clerk & Recorder/Surveyor in Gallatin County, 2022, data through 2026-09-30
It does not say whether Eric Semerad 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".
