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.

Molly Buck · Democrat

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 84% ($22,079.91)PACs & committees 16% ($4,300.00)

Shares are of the $26,379.91 that donors gave this election (since 2025).

Where they live · this election (since 2025)

ZIP crosses the district line 25% ($6,634.00)Elsewhere in Iowa 29% ($7,741.88)Iowa, ZIP not mapped 15% ($4,015.00)Outside Iowa 30% ($7,989.03)

Between 0% and 25% of the $26,379.91 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 41) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

70% came from somewhere in Iowa and 30% from outside the state. $4,015.00 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 $42,995.69 raised in cash this election (since 2025), and $26,379.91 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-19, $16,615.78 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: $390.00 in donated goods and services this election (since 2025).

Ryan Weldon · Republican

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 40% ($12,308.69)PACs & committees 60% ($18,300.00)

Shares are of the $30,608.69 that donors gave this election (since 2025). Of the $18,300.00 from PACs and committees, $15,300.00 is from PACs and $3,000.00 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 34% ($10,550.16)Elsewhere in Iowa 53% ($16,154.43)Iowa, ZIP not mapped <1% ($104.10)Outside Iowa 12% ($3,800.00)

Between 0% and 34% of the $30,608.69 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 41) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

88% came from somewhere in Iowa and 12% from outside the state. $104.10 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 $30,808.69 raised in cash this election (since 2025), and $30,608.69 of that is listed donor-by-donor in the state's itemized feed (the publisher dates the feed 2026-07-14, posted 2026-09-05). The bars use the donor-by-donor part. · full record →

Not in the bars: $3,231.69 in donated goods and services this election (since 2025) and $983.85 in loans the campaign received this election (since 2025), money it owes back and often the candidate's own.

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.

Molly Buck $272/day

$16,615.78 over 61 days · latest report

Ryan Weldon $148/day

$9,029.10 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.
