# Greg Gianforte, 2020 election cycle: in the Montana campaign finance record

Greg Gianforte's page on the Montana campaign finance public site: https://tcers-public.406dc.net/profiles/group/518446

Greg Gianforte, 2020 election cycle: 10 campaigns and committees of the 2020 cycle paid Greg Gianforte a total of $4,220.00; Greg Gianforte gave $7,616,303.22 net of refunds to 83 campaigns and committees of the 2020 cycle. The cycle is the two years 2019 and 2020. Greg Gianforte's other cycles are listed on [Greg Gianforte (all cycles)](/organizations/greg-gianforte-g518446). Data through 2026-09-30.

A campaign's money belongs to its election cycle. A 2020 candidacy raises and spends through 2019 and 2020, 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.

Where a campaign refunded part of a contribution, the refund is subtracted: "Given, net of refunds" is what the contributor gave minus what was paid back, and "Refunded" is the amount paid back. The filing itself shows the gross contribution. A refund is matched to a contributor by identity, because the record does not link a refund to the contribution it returns, so a refund under an unmerged spelling stays unmatched and that contributor's figure stays gross.

**These figures are never added together.** Giving money to a campaign and being paid by one are different relationships to the money.
