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.

Ann Meyer · Republican

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 26% ($18,700.00)PACs & committees 74% ($54,450.00)

Shares are of the $73,150.00 that donors gave this election (since 2025). Of the $54,450.00 from PACs and committees, $45,700.00 is from PACs and $8,750.00 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).

Where they live · this election (since 2025)

In the district <1% ($100.00)ZIP crosses the district line 15% ($11,100.00)Elsewhere in Iowa 65% ($47,800.00)Iowa, ZIP not mapped 3% ($2,000.00)Outside Iowa 17% ($12,150.00)

Between <1% and 15% of the $73,150.00 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 8) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

83% came from somewhere in Iowa and 17% from outside the state. $2,000.00 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 $78,150.00 raised in cash this election (since 2025), and $73,150.00 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-17, $5,000.00 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 0% and 41% of the $4,313.00 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 8) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

Not in the bars: $517.18 in donated goods and services this election (since 2025). The second bar also leaves out $94.11 from donors with no usable address on the filing.

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.

Ann Meyer $82/day

$5,000.00 over 61 days · latest report

Kristofer Williams $20/day

$1,228.50 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.
