* Contributions are grouped by donor name and reported ZIP code — two donors who share both could be counted as one, and the same donor could be split into separate entries if they were reported giving from two different addresses. Errors in how a candidate or committee reported a contribution may also make these totals inaccurate.

Full records, individual transactions, and filings for all Wyoming candidates are available from the Wyoming Campaign Finance Information System.
