Occupation breakdowns come from the state's export file, which can omit small or amended contributions.

Spending by outside groups

Outside groups, such as PACs and super PACs, spend this money on the race. The candidate's campaign does not spend it, and none of it goes to the candidate.

Counts only independent expenditures whose disclosed target could be verified; many Montana filings name no verifiable candidate and are excluded. Montana support totals can include spending that benefits a candidate by opposing an opponent; opposition is shown only where the filer declared it.
