# Secretary of State, 2018 election cycle: in the Montana campaign finance record

Secretary of State's page on the Montana campaign finance public site: https://tcers-public.406dc.net/profiles/group/92991

Secretary of State, 2018 election cycle: 77 campaigns and committees of the 2018 cycle paid Secretary of State a total of $25,858.93. The cycle is the two years 2017 and 2018. Secretary of State's other cycles are listed on [Secretary of State (all cycles)](/organizations/secretary-of-state-g92991). Data through 2026-10-02.

A campaign's money belongs to its election cycle. A 2018 candidacy raises and spends through 2017 and 2018, 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.
