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.

David Young · Republican

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 32% ($49,167.49)PACs & committees 62% ($94,825.00)Other organizations 5% ($8,050.00)

Shares are of the $152,042.49 that donors gave this election (since 2025). Of the $94,825.00 from PACs and committees, $75,325.00 is from PACs and $19,500.00 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).

Where they live · this election (since 2025)

ZIP crosses the district line 41% ($62,059.61)Elsewhere in Iowa 41% ($62,432.66)Iowa, ZIP not mapped 2% ($3,500.00)Outside Iowa 16% ($24,040.22)

Between 0% and 41% of the $152,032.49 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 28) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

84% came from somewhere in Iowa and 16% from outside the state. $3,500.00 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.

Its filings report $195,168.09 raised in cash this election (since 2025), and $152,042.49 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-20, $43,125.60 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: $12,840.42 in donated goods and services this election (since 2025). The second bar also leaves out $10.00 from donors with no usable address on the filing.

Between 0% and 45% of the $25,417.82 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 28) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

87% came from somewhere in Iowa and 13% from outside the state. $50.00 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 newest report (filed 2026-07-20, $29,212.08 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: $228.00 in donated goods and services this election (since 2025) and $7,797.08 in loans the campaign received this election (since 2025), money it owes back and often the candidate's own. The second bar also leaves out $65.00 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.

David Young $707/day

$43,125.60 over 61 days · latest report

Tom Walton $479/day

$29,212.08 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.
