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.

Rory Taylor · Democrat

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 90% ($32,051.00)PACs & committees 10% ($3,500.00)

Shares are of the $35,551.00 that donors gave this election (since 2025). Of the $3,500.00 from PACs and committees, $1,000.00 is from PACs and $2,500.00 from party committees.

Where they live · this election (since 2025)

In the district 1% ($406.00)ZIP crosses the district line 94% ($33,305.00)Elsewhere in Iowa 4% ($1,525.00)Outside Iowa <1% ($25.00)

Between 1% and 96% of the $35,261.00 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 22) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

>99% came from somewhere in Iowa and <1% from outside the state.

$35,551.00 in cash this election (since 2025), listed donor-by-donor in the state's itemized feed (the publisher dates the feed 2026-07-14, posted 2026-09-05). · full record →

Not in the bars: $925.76 in donated goods and services this election (since 2025) and $1,000.00 in loans from before this election (2023 to 2024), money it owes back and often the candidate's own. The second bar also leaves out $290.00 from donors with no usable address on the filing.

Samantha Fett · Republican

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 59% ($12,430.00)PACs & committees 41% ($8,800.00)

Shares are of the $21,230.00 that donors gave this election (since 2025).

Where they live · this election (since 2025)

ZIP crosses the district line 21% ($4,525.00)Elsewhere in Iowa 76% ($16,165.00)Iowa, ZIP not mapped 1% ($270.00)Outside Iowa 1% ($270.00)

Between 0% and 21% of the $21,230.00 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 22) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

99% came from somewhere in Iowa and 1% from outside the state. $270.00 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.

Its filings report $22,185.00 raised in cash this election (since 2025), and $21,230.00 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-19, $955.00 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 →

Not in the bars: $1,539.14 in donated goods and services this election (since 2025).

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.

Rory Taylor $408/day

$24,886.00 over 61 days · latest report

Samantha Fett $16/day

$955.00 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.
