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.

Austin Harris · Republican

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 35% ($38,969.88)PACs & committees 65% ($73,175.00)Other organizations <1% ($350.00)

Shares are of the $112,494.88 that donors gave this election (since 2025). Of the $73,175.00 from PACs and committees, $65,425.00 is from PACs and $7,750.00 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).

Where they live · this election (since 2025)

In the district 2% ($2,650.00)ZIP crosses the district line 6% ($7,027.05)Elsewhere in Iowa 80% ($90,147.17)Iowa, ZIP not mapped 1% ($1,000.00)Outside Iowa 10% ($11,270.66)

Between 2% and 9% of the $112,094.88 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 26) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

90% came from somewhere in Iowa and 10% from outside the state. $1,000.00 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 $116,598.98 raised in cash this election (since 2025), and $112,494.88 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-20, $4,104.10 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: $3,067.79 in donated goods and services this election (since 2025). The second bar also leaves out $400.00 from donors with no usable address on the filing.

Brett Mohler · Democrat

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 91% ($4,136.00)PACs & committees 9% ($400.00)

Shares are of the $4,536.00 that donors gave this election (since 2025). Of the $400.00 from PACs and committees, $400.00 is from party committees.

Where they live · this election (since 2025)

In the district 41% ($1,860.00)ZIP crosses the district line 7% ($320.00)Elsewhere in Iowa 48% ($2,190.00)Outside Iowa 4% ($166.00)

Between 41% and 48% of the $4,536.00 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 26) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

96% came from somewhere in Iowa and 4% from outside the state.

Its filings report $6,522.00 raised in cash this election (since 2025), and $4,536.00 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-18, $1,796.00 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 →

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.

Austin Harris $67/day

$4,104.10 over 61 days · latest report

Brett Mohler $29/day

$1,796.00 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.
