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.

These figures are for MFPE, 2016 election cycle. These figures follow the same rules as the public campaign finance site, because they come from it. Only filed reports count. Money a campaign moves between its own accounts is left out, because it is not new money. The contribution figure is cash, as on the state's Cash Summary, and goods and services given in kind are reported beside it, never inside it. Refunds paid back to contributors are subtracted. Other receipts are interest, rebates and similar receipts, not donations. A debt is money still owed, not money spent, and a loan repaid in full is not listed as owed.
