Northwestern Energy, 2014 election cycle: Montana political committee
Northwestern Energy is a political committee registered in Montana, of type "Incidental". This page holds its money for the 2014 election cycle, filed in 2013 and 2014. Its other cycles are listed on Northwestern Energy (all cycles). Data through 2026-10-09.
Northwestern Energy's committee page on the Montana campaign finance public site: https://tcers-public.406dc.net/profiles/committee/2136
A campaign's money belongs to its election cycle. A 2014 candidacy raises and spends through 2013 and 2014, 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 Northwestern Energy, 2014 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.
