The Montana Plan, 2026 election cycle: Montana political committee
The Montana Plan is a political committee registered in Montana, of type "Ballot Issue". This page holds its money for the 2026 election cycle, filed in 2025 and 2026. Its other cycles are listed on The Montana Plan (all cycles). Data through 2026-09-30.
The Montana Plan's committee page on the Montana campaign finance public site: https://tcers-public.406dc.net/profiles/committee/14895
A campaign's money belongs to its election cycle. A 2026 candidacy raises and spends through 2025 and 2026, 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.

The Montana Plan, 2026 election cycle: $339,775.16 in cash contributions, net of refunds, plus $102,707.68 given in kind; $300,283.45 spent; $21,025.00 still owed. Data through 2026-09-30.
Totals above are net of refunds, and so are the largest-contributor amounts below, with the as-filed and refunded figures shown beside any row that was refunded. The line-by-line contribution rows are as filed, before any refund.
These figures are for The Montana Plan, 2026 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.
