Campaign finance totals are also not on file for any candidate. There are no listed figures for total funds raised, total funds spent or cash on hand for Benavidez, Byrd, Solomon, Hageman, Holtz, Lummis, Mead, Rasner, Carlson or Skovgard.
Those figures, when filed, can help voters see how campaigns are collecting and spending money. Until amounts are recorded, no financial comparison among the 10 candidates can be made from official filings.
