Party filter applies to recipients, not donors. Party affiliation is attached to candidate records where the Commissioner has captured it; the filter falls back to "no party on record" otherwise.
This page is built from itemized Schedule A (contributions received) records filed by Montana candidates and committees with the Commissioner of Political Practices via the CERS system at cers-ext.mt.gov/CampaignTracker/public.
"Top contributors from Whitefish" aggregates by donor name across every filed contribution where the donor self-reported a Montana address in this city. "Candidates who received the most money from Whitefish" joins the same contributions to the candidate who received them — so amounts reflect only itemized records, not aggregate/unitemized totals.
Donor party affiliation is not captured on COPP filings. Recipient party is captured when the candidate reports it on registration; where it's missing, we show "—". We will treat an upcoming feed from COPP as authoritative once available.
