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.

Mandy Newton Rosenow · Democrat

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 100% ($18,922.44)

Shares are of the $18,922.44 that donors gave this election (since 2025).

Where they live · this election (since 2025)

ZIP crosses the district line 33% ($6,195.81)Elsewhere in Iowa 42% ($8,011.63)Outside Iowa 25% ($4,675.00)

Between 0% and 33% of the $18,882.44 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 46) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

75% came from somewhere in Iowa and 25% from outside the state.

Its filings report $28,046.39 raised in cash this election (since 2025), and $18,922.44 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-17, $9,123.95 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: $206.94 in donated goods and services this election (since 2025). The second bar also leaves out $40.00 from donors with no usable address on the filing.

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 39% ($7,319.61)PACs & committees 61% ($11,500.00)

Shares are of the $18,819.61 that donors gave this election (since 2025). Of the $11,500.00 from PACs and committees, $11,000.00 is from PACs and $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 18% ($3,420.45)Elsewhere in Iowa 76% ($14,264.16)Iowa, ZIP not mapped 1% ($100.00)Outside Iowa 5% ($975.00)

Between 0% and 18% of the $18,759.61 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 46) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

95% came from somewhere in Iowa and 5% from outside the state. $100.00 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 $21,209.76 raised in cash this election (since 2025), and $18,819.61 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-20, $2,390.15 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: $121.05 in donated goods and services this election (since 2025). The second bar also leaves out $60.00 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.

Mandy Newton Rosenow $150/day

$9,123.95 over 61 days · latest report

Dan Gehlbach $39/day

$2,390.15 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.
