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.

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 15% ($6,158.33)PACs & committees 85% ($35,200.00)

Shares are of the $41,358.33 that donors gave this election (since 2025).

Where they live · this election (since 2025)

Between 5% and 11% of the $41,358.33 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 68) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

99% came from somewhere in Iowa and 1% from outside the state.

Its filings report $50,383.33 raised in cash this election (since 2025), and $41,358.33 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-20, $9,025.00 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 →

Between 10% and 12% of the $603.00 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 68) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

53% came from somewhere in Iowa and 47% 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 newest report (filed 2026-07-17, $1,429.50 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 →

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.

Chad Ingels $148/day

$9,025.00 over 61 days · latest report

Scott Bodley $23/day

$1,429.50 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.
