A candidate marked "Not yet" has no document of their own in this corpus. The records filed under their name are not yet confirmed as one complete profile. A page built from part of the records would understate the career and the money, so none is published until the profile is complete. The absence of a page is not a finding that the candidate raised or spent nothing.

**This list is incomplete, and the gap is in the source record.** The county above is the county each candidate LIVES in. A legislative district is not a county and does not sit inside one, and CERS holds no mapping from a district to the counties it covers. So this record cannot list the legislative races that Gallatin County votes in. Do not read the residence list above as the answer to that question.
