## Money Jeffrey Essmann gave to Montana campaigns, data through 2026-10-04

Jeffrey Essmann made 318 contributions totalling $160,620.95 as filed, to 258 campaigns and committees. They refunded $440.00 of it to Jeffrey Essmann, so Jeffrey Essmann gave $160,180.95 net of refunds.

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.

## Money Montana campaigns paid Jeffrey Essmann, data through 2026-10-04

Montana filers reported 20 payments to Jeffrey Essmann totalling $4,260.00, from 18 campaigns and committees. Being paid by a campaign is a commercial relationship, not a donation.

## Other money Montana campaigns received from Jeffrey Essmann, data through 2026-10-04

$830.00 across 5 records: interest, refunds, rebates and similar receipts. Received from Jeffrey Essmann, but not donated.

**These figures are never added together.** Giving money to a campaign and being paid by one are different relationships to that money. A combined "total activity" figure for Jeffrey Essmann would state something the record does not say.

## What this record does not say about Jeffrey Essmann

It does not say why Jeffrey Essmann gave or was paid, what any payment bought, or what any of it caused. Totals are floors rather than exact figures, because the same real name can still appear in the record more than once under spelling variants.
