Where the money went

$10,769.74 in 6 payments to 5 different recipients since 2023, as this committee itemized them. A further $4,000.00 repaid loans — money going back, not spent on the campaign. Itemized payments run through 2024-09-19. Its Spent column below is the full reported figure; where that is larger, the difference is spending the state's itemized file does not carry — most recently because the newest reports have not reached it yet.

Paid to Total Payments
Republican Party of Iowa $7,500.00 2
Carroll County Republican Central Committee $3,000.00 1
USPS $108.00 1
Direct Mailer $98.50 1
