Where the money comes from

$33,499.58 received across 369 itemized cash contributions since 2023-01-01, per state disclosure records. Its reports show $38,511.66 in cash raised in the same span — the $5,012.08 difference is small gifts reported as one lump sum, plus recent reports the state hasn't broken out donor-by-donor yet. Separately, and not counted above or in the mix below: $1,742.26 in in-kind support (6 filings) — goods and services donated rather than money , and $230.07 in loans received (8), which a campaign owes back and often comes from the candidate . The cash figure also includes $336.80 in interest the campaign's own bank accounts earned ( 14 postings from Linn Area Credit Union ) — Iowa filings report interest as a Schedule A entry under the bank's name, but it is account income, not a donation, and it is not ranked among the donors below.

Where the money went

$25,226.46 in 80 payments to 8 different recipients since 2023, as this committee itemized them. Itemized payments run through 2026-05-04.
