Mike Vinton, House District No. 40, 2026: $18,920.00 in cash contributions, net of refunds, plus $2,665.04 given in kind; $17,630.29 spent; $7,635.04 still owed. Data through 2026-09-30.
Totals above are net of refunds, and so are the largest-contributor amounts below, with the as-filed and refunded figures shown beside any row that was refunded. The line-by-line contribution rows are as filed, before any refund.
These figures are for Mike Vinton, House District No. 40, 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. The contribution figure is cash, as on the state's Cash Summary, and goods and services given in kind are reported beside it, never inside it. Refunds paid back to contributors are subtracted. Other receipts are interest, rebates and similar receipts, not donations. A debt is money still owed, not money spent, and a loan repaid in full is not listed as owed.

A candidate may put unlimited personal money into their own campaign in Montana. Self-funding is not a limit breach and is marked above only so it is not misread as an outside donation.

What this record does not say about Mike Vinton, House District No. 40, 2026, data through 2026-09-30
It does not say whether Mike Vinton 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".
