# Google, 2016 election cycle: in the Montana campaign finance record

Google's page on the Montana campaign finance public site: https://tcers-public.406dc.net/profiles/group/92837

Google, 2016 election cycle: 10 campaigns and committees of the 2016 cycle paid Google a total of $7,685.44. The cycle is the two years 2015 and 2016. Google's other cycles are listed on [Google (all cycles)](/organizations/google-g92837). Data through 2026-10-01.

A campaign's money belongs to its election cycle. A 2016 candidacy raises and spends through 2015 and 2016, so the cycle total is the whole of what it raised or paid; the year columns split the same money by the date on the filing.

Being paid by a campaign is a commercial relationship, not a donation.
