# Montana Troopers PAC, 2016 election cycle: in the Montana campaign finance record

Montana Troopers PAC's page on the Montana campaign finance public site: https://tcers-public.406dc.net/profiles/group/93058

Montana Troopers PAC, 2016 election cycle: 1 campaign or committee of the 2016 cycle paid Montana Troopers PAC a total of $90.00; Montana Troopers PAC gave $13,225.00 net of refunds to 77 campaigns and committees of the 2016 cycle. The cycle is the two years 2015 and 2016. Montana Troopers PAC's other cycles are listed on [Montana Troopers PAC (all cycles)](/organizations/montana-troopers-pac-g93058). Data through 2026-09-30.

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.

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.
