Methodology:
  1. "Other" expenditures may include field expenses, equipment purchases, transfers, returned contributions, in-kind contributions and miscellaneous expenses. Note: Some figures initially included transfers to related committees. This falsely inflated spending and has been corrected.
  2. Totals do not include spending by active pre-existing committees of running mates for David Craig, Anthony Brown and Douglas Gansler.
  3. Expenditures for losing candidates are calculated from the beginning of the election cycle on Jan. 1, 2011, to the close of the post-primary reporting period on Aug. 19. They may include expenditures made before the candidate decided to run for governor. Some campaign committees may have spending beyond that date as they wind down.
  4. Expenditures for Larry Hogan are those of his primary election committee through Aug. 19. Spending by his new general election committee is not included.
  5. Anthony Brown’s spending is calculated through the primary election June 24. Some spending beyond that date is undoubtedly for primary expenses, but it is difficult to definitively separate primary from general election expenses.
