# The Billings Times, 2022 election cycle: in the Montana campaign finance record

The Billings Times's page on the Montana campaign finance public site: https://tcers-public.406dc.net/profiles/group/92776

The Billings Times, 2022 election cycle: 76 campaigns and committees of the 2022 cycle paid The Billings Times a total of $196,428.02. The cycle is the two years 2021 and 2022. The Billings Times's other cycles are listed on [The Billings Times (all cycles)](/organizations/the-billings-times-g92776). Data through 2026-10-01.

A campaign's money belongs to its election cycle. A 2022 candidacy raises and spends through 2021 and 2022, 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.
