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.

Charley Thomson · Republican

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 70% ($8,108.03)PACs & committees 30% ($3,500.00)

Shares are of the $11,608.03 that donors gave this election (since 2025). Of the $3,500.00 from PACs and committees, $2,500.00 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)

In the district 26% ($3,068.03)ZIP crosses the district line 9% ($985.00)Elsewhere in Iowa 49% ($5,625.00)Outside Iowa 16% ($1,900.00)

Between 26% and 35% of the $11,578.03 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 58) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

84% came from somewhere in Iowa and 16% from outside the state.

Its filings report $27,828.03 raised in cash this election (since 2025), and $11,608.03 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-20, $7,470.00 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 →

The second bar also leaves out $30.00 from donors with no usable address on the filing.

India May · Democrat

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 95% ($20,013.52)PACs & committees 4% ($905.00)Other organizations <1% ($72.32)

Between 8% and 13% of the $20,990.84 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 58) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

$20,990.84 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 →

Not in the bars: $3,000.00 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.

Charley Thomson $122/day

$7,470.00 over 61 days · latest report

India May $20/day

$1,204.00 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.
