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.

Individuals 100% ($1,828.00)

Shares are of the $1,828.00 that donors gave this election (since 2025).

In the district 6% ($112.00)ZIP crosses the district line 50% ($915.00)Elsewhere in Iowa 33% ($595.00)Outside Iowa 11% ($206.00)

Between 6% and 56% of the $1,828.00 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 45) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

89% came from somewhere in Iowa and 11% from outside the state.

Its filings report $5,430.00 raised in cash this election (since 2025), and $1,828.00 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-20, $3,602.00 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: $250.00 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 $150.00 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.

Austin Stubbs $117/day

$7,125.00 over 61 days · latest report

Kendra Haug $59/day

$3,602.00 over 61 days · latest report

Behind in total cash, Austin Stubbs is raising faster by the day right now — $117/day versus $59/day for Kendra Haug, the current cash leader.

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.
