Where the money comes from

$161,920.82 received across 265 itemized cash contributions since 2023-01-01, per state disclosure records. Separately, and not counted above or in the mix below: $951.80 in in-kind support (18 filings) — goods and services donated rather than money , and $5,000.00 in loans received (1), which a campaign owes back and often comes from the candidate . The cash figure also includes $7.16 in interest the campaign's own bank accounts earned ( 21 postings from Vision Bank ) — 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

$135,213.18 in 141 payments to 37 different recipients since 2023, as this committee itemized them. A further $33,200.00 repaid loans — money going back, not spent on the campaign. Itemized payments run through 2026-06-30. 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.
