Where the money comes from

$1,197,133.02 received across 692 itemized cash contributions since 2023-01-01, per state disclosure records. Its reports show $7,569,963.88 in cash raised in the same span — the $6,372,830.86 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: $21,569.02 in in-kind support (39 filings) — goods and services donated rather than money , and $2,500,000.00 in loans received (2), which a campaign owes back and often comes from the candidate . The cash figure also includes $23,029.88 in interest the campaign's own bank accounts earned ( 10 postings from Midwestone 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.
