These figures are for Leo Dutton, County Coroner/Sheriff in Lewis & Clark County, 2026. These figures follow the same rules as the public campaign finance site, because they come from it.

What this record does not say about Leo Dutton, County Coroner/Sheriff in Lewis & Clark County, 2026, data through 2026-10-08

It does not say whether Leo Dutton 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".
