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 MBWDA PAC
Montana filers reported 1 payment to MBWDA PAC totalling $120.00, from 1 campaign or committee. Being paid by a campaign is a commercial relationship, not a donation.
| Campaign or committee | Race | Paid | Transactions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forrest Mandeville | House District No. 57, 2016 | $120.00 | 1 |
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 MBWDA PAC would state something the record does not say.
What this record does not say about MBWDA PAC
It does not say why MBWDA PAC 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.
