That $174k is for some major federal offices.

Your state level legislators are pulling like $40k. Those are going to be the bulk of your uncontested races.

Some positions are outright uncompensated but the official has a daily stipend of $50-$150 they can be reimbursed for their spending while on official business, so like: gas and food.
