Individuals 25% ($700.00)PACs & committees 75% ($2,150.00)

Shares are of the $2,850.00 that donors gave this election (since 2025).

Where they live · this election (since 2025)

In the district 5% ($150.00)Elsewhere in Iowa 75% ($2,150.00)Iowa, ZIP not mapped 18% ($500.00)Outside Iowa 2% ($50.00)

5% of the $2,850.00 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 16) this election (since 2025).

98% came from somewhere in Iowa and 2% from outside the state. $500.00 of the Iowa money has a ZIP code with no area on the map (a post office box, for example), so it can't be placed in or out of the district.

Jack Goodman · Democrat

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 70% ($1,751.00)PACs & committees 30% ($750.00)

Shares are of the $2,501.00 that donors gave this election (since 2025). Of the $750.00 from PACs and committees, $750.00 is from party committees.

Where they live · this election (since 2025)

In the district 65% ($1,475.00)ZIP crosses the district line 10% ($230.00)Elsewhere in Iowa 5% ($110.00)Outside Iowa 21% ($471.00)

Between 65% and 75% of the $2,286.00 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 16) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

79% came from somewhere in Iowa and 21% from outside the state.

Its filings report $4,607.00 raised in cash this election (since 2025), and $2,501.00 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-20, $2,106.00 raised, for the period ending 2026-07-14) is not yet in the donor-by-donor rows we hold, so the bars stop at the report before it. · full record →

The second bar also leaves out $215.00 from donors with no usable address on the filing.

Method: itemized cash contributions (Schedule A, transaction type CON) since 2025-01-01, refunds netted, the committee's own account interest excluded. Each donor is placed by the state and 5-digit ZIP code on the filing. A ZIP code counts as in the district when at least 98% of its Iowa land area (Census ZCTA) falls inside it, as crossing the line when between 2% and 98% does, and as elsewhere in Iowa otherwise. Iowa ZIP codes with no Census area (post office boxes) are shown on their own. In-kind support and loans are never in either bar.

Fundraising rate

New money raised per day of each candidate's latest report — the pace of fundraising, comparable even when reports cover spans of different length. The small bars trace how that pace moved across recent reports.

Jack Goodman $35/day

$2,106.00 over 61 days · latest report

David A. Sieck $0.0/day

$0.00 over 61 days · latest report

Rate = money raised ÷ days the report covers. ("Money raised" is the report's cash-contribution line — Schedule A.) Faded bars are earlier reports' rates; the solid bar is the latest. State committees only. A period's total can arrive as one large check or many small gifts — the rate can't tell them apart; a committee's donation page breaks its money down by gift size.
