These figures are for Kent Odonnell, County Coroner/Sheriff in Yellowstone County, 2026. 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 Kent Odonnell, County Coroner/Sheriff in Yellowstone County, 2026, data through 2026-09-30

It does not say whether Kent Odonnell 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".
