Jeffrey Essmann, 2024 election cycle: Jeffrey Essmann gave $12,520.00 net of refunds to 20 campaigns and committees of the 2024 cycle. The cycle is the two years 2023 and 2024. Jeffrey Essmann's other cycles are listed on [Jeffrey Essmann (all cycles)](/organizations/jeffrey-essmann-g233235). Data through 2026-10-04.

A campaign's money belongs to its election cycle. A 2024 candidacy raises and spends through 2023 and 2024, 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.
