Where the money comes from

$5,707,887.23 received across 3,975 itemized cash contributions since 2023-01-01, per state disclosure records. Its reports show $7,669,686.98 in cash raised in the same span — the $1,961,799.75 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: $26,588.03 in in-kind support (120 filings) — goods and services donated rather than money . The cash figure also includes $11,141.28 in interest the campaign's own bank accounts earned ( 40 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.

Where the money went

$820,185.41 in 628 payments to 67 different recipients since 2023, as this committee itemized them. Itemized payments run through 2026-05-26. 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.
