Where the money comes from

$62,490.11 received across 516 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: $4,152.89 in in-kind support (12 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.

Individuals 45% ($27,964.04) · PACs & committees 54% ($33,544.51) · Other organizations 1% ($644.76)

Where these donors live, of the $62,153.31 whose donor listed an address: In Iowa 88% ($54,503.31) · Outside Iowa 12% ($7,650.00).

$9,251.04 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).

Where the money went

$32,087.53 in 123 payments to 11 different recipients since 2023, as this committee itemized them. Itemized payments run through 2026-10-14. Its filings report $32,087.53 spent since 2023 (newest report in our copy filed 2026-10-19). The two are the same to the cent.
