Amy Nielsen for Iowa : dated and sourced figures, sized for each platform.

Format

Time rangeJul 2016 – Jul 2026

Adds up every report whose period starts in the range, as the committee reported it on its DR-2 filings; a report the state lists with only a year counts under January of that year, and the sentence says how many there are. Cash on hand is never added up: it is the closing figure of the most recently filed report in the range, named in the sentence. The money-raised bars and the filing history below follow the range; the cash-on-hand line always shows every report.

34 reports in the range Jul 2016 – Jul 2026: raised $204,805.00, spent $188,826.20, in-kind $14,151.55, as reported. Cash on hand at the end of the most recently filed of them (2026 · Jul 15 – Oct 14, filed 2026-10-19): $16,256.47.

Itemized money, month by month

Time rangeJan 2023 – Oct 2026

Adds up the itemized rows we hold whose date falls in the range: cash given to this committee, and payments it made, as listed donor-by-donor and payee-by-payee in the state's files. These are itemized figures, a different basis from the reported totals above, and the state's itemized files run behind its filings (see the notes below). The ranked lists of givers and payees below cover since 2023, whatever range is chosen.

Money in, itemized cash dated Jan 2023 – Oct 2026: $72,855.00. From individuals $26,105.00, from organizations $2,000.00, from other committees $44,750.00. Cash only: in-kind support and loans received are not counted here.

Money out, itemized payments dated Jan 2023 – Oct 2026: $59,424.06. To vendors and people $22,328.06, to other committees $37,096.00. Loan repayments are not counted here.

Where the money comes from

$72,855.00 received across 409 itemized cash contributions since 2023-01-01, per state disclosure records (the rows we hold reach 2026-10-20: the publisher's extract, dated 2026-07-14, plus the Ethics Board's public search, read 2026-10-19). Separately, and not counted above or in the mix below: $150.00 in in-kind support (1 filings) — goods and services donated rather than money .

Individuals 36% ($26,105.00) · PACs & committees 61% ($44,750.00) · Other organizations 3% ($2,000.00)

Where these donors live, of the $72,840.00 whose donor listed an address: In Iowa 93% ($68,015.00) · Outside Iowa 7% ($4,825.00).

The shares leave out $15.00 from donors with no usable address.

$350.00 of the individuals' money is from recent rows read from the Ethics Board's public search, which does not say whether a giver is a person or an organization. We count a giver there as an individual unless the state's older records list the same name as an organization or the name is plainly one (a PAC, party, committee, business, trust or union).
