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.

Tom Determann · Republican

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 38% ($4,825.00)PACs & committees 62% ($7,810.00)

Shares are of the $12,635.00 given by these donors; refunds of $250.00 to other organizations bring what donors gave this election (since 2025) to $12,385.00. Of the $7,810.00 from PACs and committees, $6,100.00 is from PACs and $1,750.00 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), less $40.00 refunded to other candidates' campaigns.

Where they live · this election (since 2025)

In the district 1% ($160.00)ZIP crosses the district line 18% ($2,275.00)Elsewhere in Iowa 48% ($5,950.00)Outside Iowa 32% ($4,000.00)

Between 1% and 20% of the $12,385.00 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 69) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

68% came from somewhere in Iowa and 32% from outside the state.

Its filings report $19,185.00 raised in cash this election (since 2025), and $12,385.00 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-17, $6,800.00 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 →

Not in the bars: $20,500.00 in loans from before this election (2023 to 2024), money it owes back and often the candidate's own.

$31,650.17 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: $4.40 in interest earned on the campaign's own bank accounts (inside the cash total, but income, not a gift), $89.75 in donated goods and services this election (since 2025) and $25.00 in loans the campaign received this election (since 2025), money it owes back and often the candidate's own.

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.

Randy Meier $226/day

$13,784.15 over 61 days · latest report

Tom Determann $111/day

$6,800.00 over 61 days · latest report

Behind in total cash, Randy Meier is raising faster by the day right now — $226/day versus $111/day for Tom Determann, the current cash leader.

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.
