These figures for Luis Espinoza for County Sheriff in Broadwater County in 2026 follow the same rules as the public campaign finance site. 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.

### Largest contributors to Luis Espinoza for County Sheriff in Broadwater County in 2026

| Contributor | Given, net of refunds | Refunded | Of which in-kind | Contributions |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Where the campaign refunded part of a contribution, the refund is subtracted: "Given, net of refunds" is what the contributor gave minus what was paid back, and "Refunded" is the amount paid back. The filing itself shows the gross contribution. A refund is matched to a contributor by name, because the record does not link a refund to the contribution it returns, so a refund under a different spelling stays unmatched and that contributor's figure stays gross.

A candidate may put unlimited personal money into their own campaign in Montana. Self-funding is not a limit breach and is marked above only so it is not misread as an outside donation.

## What this record does not say about Luis Espinoza

It does not say whether Luis Espinoza 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".
