Where the money comes from

$763,449.15 received across 2,697 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: $3,250.00 in in-kind support (11 filings) — goods and services donated rather than money . The cash figure also includes $2,266.65 in interest the campaign's own bank accounts earned ( 1 postings from Bankers Trust ) — 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 >99% ($758,192.50) · Other organizations <1% ($2,990.00)

Where these donors live, of the $153,771.00 whose donor listed an address: In Iowa 95% ($146,774.00) · Outside Iowa 5% ($6,997.00).

The shares leave out $607,411.50 from donors with no usable address.

$51,971.00 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).
