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.

Beth Wessel-Kroeschell · Democrat

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 59% ($6,520.00)PACs & committees 41% ($4,550.00)

Shares are of the $11,070.00 that donors gave this election (since 2025). Of the $4,550.00 from PACs and committees, $3,550.00 is from PACs and $1,000.00 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 56% ($5,950.00)Elsewhere in Iowa 34% ($3,650.00)Iowa, ZIP not mapped 5% ($500.00)Outside Iowa 5% ($500.00)

Between 0% and 56% of the $10,600.00 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 49) 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. $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.

$11,070.00 in cash this election (since 2025), listed donor-by-donor in the state's itemized feed (the publisher dates the feed 2026-07-14, posted 2026-09-05). · full record →

The second bar also leaves out $470.00 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.

Beth Wessel-Kroeschell $16/day

$1,000.00 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.
