Where the money comes from

$161,920.82 received across 265 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: $12,484.08 in in-kind support (19 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.
