The line-by-line contribution rows are as filed, before any refund. These figures are for Monty Valdez, Justice of the Peace in Blaine County, 2026. These figures follow the same rules as the public campaign finance site, because they come from it. Only filed reports count.

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".
