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.

Carter F. Nordman · Republican

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 23% ($50,206.79)PACs & committees 76% ($166,833.24)Other organizations 2% ($3,537.15)

Shares are of the $220,577.18 that donors gave this election (since 2025). Of the $166,833.24 from PACs and committees, $148,549.87 is from PACs, $1,283.37 from other candidates' campaigns and $17,000.00 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)

In the district 7% ($16,449.50)ZIP crosses the district line 1% ($2,057.59)Elsewhere in Iowa 81% ($178,937.75)Iowa, ZIP not mapped 1% ($3,000.00)Outside Iowa 9% ($20,007.09)

Between 7% and 8% of the $220,451.93 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 47) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

91% came from somewhere in Iowa and 9% from outside the state. $3,000.00 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 $247,012.82 raised in cash this election (since 2025), and $220,577.18 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-20, $26,435.64 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: $355.96 in donated goods and services this election (since 2025). The second bar also leaves out $125.25 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.

Carter F. Nordman $433/day

$26,435.64 over 61 days · latest report

Chris New $43/day

$2,601.00 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.
