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.

George Pickup · Democrat

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 84% ($14,687.35)PACs & committees 16% ($2,750.00)

Shares are of the $17,437.35 that donors gave this election (since 2025). Of the $2,750.00 from PACs and committees, $2,500.00 is from PACs and $250.00 from party committees.

Where they live · this election (since 2025)

In the district 8% ($1,450.00)ZIP crosses the district line 61% ($10,453.00)Elsewhere in Iowa 10% ($1,775.00)Outside Iowa 21% ($3,531.00)

Between 8% and 69% of the $17,209.00 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 70) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

79% came from somewhere in Iowa and 21% from outside the state.

Its filings report $28,068.85 raised in cash this election (since 2025), and $17,437.35 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-18, $10,631.50 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: $355.24 in donated goods and services this election (since 2025). The second bar also leaves out $228.35 from donors with no usable address on the filing.

Of the $11,750.00 from PACs and committees, $9,750.00 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).

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.

George Pickup $174/day

$10,631.50 over 61 days · latest report

Norlin Mommsen $0.0/day

$0.00 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.
