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.

What this record does not say about Paula Koch
It does not say whether Paula Koch 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".
