## What this record does not say about Matthew Roth, County Commissioner in Ravalli County, 2026, data through 2026-10-08

It does not say whether Matthew Roth 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".
