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.

Mike Tupper · Democrat

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 87% ($14,491.15)PACs & committees 13% ($2,250.00)

Shares are of the $16,741.15 that donors gave this election (since 2025). Of the $2,250.00 from PACs and committees, $250.00 is from party committees and $2,000.00 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 71% ($11,862.35)Elsewhere in Iowa 16% ($2,610.00)Iowa, ZIP not mapped <1% ($10.00)Outside Iowa 13% ($2,218.80)

Between 0% and 71% of the $16,701.15 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 52) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

87% came from somewhere in Iowa and 13% from outside the state. $10.00 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 $35,031.91 raised in cash this election (since 2025), and $16,741.15 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-20, $18,290.76 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: $1,573.29 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.

Shares are of the $16,896.34 that donors gave this election (since 2025). Of the $14,800.00 from PACs and committees, $12,800.00 is from PACs and $2,000.00 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).

Between 1% and 8% of the $16,896.34 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 52) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

Its newest report (filed 2026-07-17, $3,221.50 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: $10,629.23 in donated goods and services this election (since 2025).

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.

Mike Tupper $300/day

$18,290.76 over 61 days · latest report

David Blom $53/day

$3,221.50 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.
