# Ryan Zinke, 2020 election cycle: in the Montana campaign finance record

Ryan Zinke's page on the Montana campaign finance public site: https://tcers-public.406dc.net/profiles/group/243717

Ryan Zinke, 2020 election cycle: 1 campaign or committee of the 2020 cycle paid Ryan Zinke a total of $500.00; Ryan Zinke gave $1,023.00 net of refunds to 2 campaigns and committees of the 2020 cycle. The cycle is the two years 2019 and 2020. Ryan Zinke's other cycles are listed on [Ryan Zinke (all cycles)](/organizations/ryan-zinke-g243717). Data through 2026-09-30.

A campaign's money belongs to its election cycle. A 2020 candidacy raises and spends through 2019 and 2020, 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.
