Time range
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.
36 reports in the range Jul 2010 – Jul 2026 (3 of them list no start date, only a year, and are counted under January of it): raised $16,727,380.22, spent $13,385,740.87, in-kind $469,280.75, as reported. Cash on hand at the end of the most recently filed of them (2026 · Jul 15 – Oct 14, filed 2026-10-19): $3,505,501.20.

Time range
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: $12,276,491.31. From individuals $2,702,524.55, from organizations $203,489.94, from other committees $9,343,875.00; plus $26,601.82 of interest on the committee's own accounts, which is not a gift. Cash only: in-kind support and loans received are not counted here. These figures are net of $25.00 in refunds and corrections, filed as negative rows.
Money out, itemized payments dated Jan 2023 – Oct 2026: $8,820,455.32. To vendors and people $8,813,855.32, to other committees $6,600.00. Loan repayments are not counted here.
Where the money comes from
$12,276,491.31 received across 6,570 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: $309,559.93 in in-kind
support (142 filings) —
goods and services donated rather than money
.
The cash figure also includes $26,601.82 in
interest the campaign's own bank accounts earned (
45 postings
from First State Bank and 1 more institution
) — 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.

across 6,123 gifts, not to scale
$2,702,524.55
$966,898.54 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).
