## What this record does not say about Joe Cohenour

It does not say whether Joe Cohenour won any of these elections. CERS records candidacies and money, not results.

Contribution totals are floors, not exact figures. The same real person or business can appear in the record more than once under spelling variants, and merging those into single identities is ongoing work. A total means "at least this much".
