Where the money comes from

Who gives to each campaign, and where those donors live, for this election (since 2025). Cash the state lists donor-by-donor.

Spencer A Waugh · Democrat

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 99% ($77,265.14)Other organizations 1% ($400.00)

Shares are of the $77,665.14 that donors gave this election (since 2025).

Where they live · this election (since 2025)

In the district 1% ($450.00)ZIP crosses the district line 58% ($44,922.30)Elsewhere in Iowa 24% ($18,122.50)Outside Iowa 17% ($13,349.34)

Between 1% and 59% of the $76,844.14 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 21) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

83% came from somewhere in Iowa and 17% from outside the state.

Its filings report $103,163.96 raised in cash this election (since 2025), and $77,665.14 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-17, $25,498.82 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 →

Not in the bars: $4,815.58 in donated goods and services this election (since 2025). The second bar also leaves out $821.00 from donors with no usable address on the filing.

Brooke Boden · Republican

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 31% ($7,505.00)PACs & committees 69% ($16,350.00)

Shares are of the $23,855.00 that donors gave this election (since 2025). Of the $16,350.00 from PACs and committees, $14,850.00 is from PACs and $1,500.00 from committees whose type isn't in the filings we hold (they file no Iowa disclosure report of their own, so the state's records we have don't say whether they are a PAC, a party or a candidate).

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.

Spencer A Waugh $418/day

$25,498.82 over 61 days · latest report

Brooke Boden $50/day

$3,044.20 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.
