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.

Daniel Gosa · Democrat

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 8% ($4,029.92)PACs & committees 91% ($48,605.44)Other organizations 1% ($800.00)

Shares are of the $53,435.36 that donors gave this election (since 2025). Of the $48,605.44 from PACs and committees, $22,650.00 is from PACs, $205.44 from party committees and $25,750.00 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)

ZIP crosses the district line 10% ($5,200.00)Elsewhere in Iowa 26% ($13,683.32)Iowa, ZIP not mapped 6% ($2,950.00)Outside Iowa 59% ($31,602.04)

Between 0% and 10% of the $53,435.36 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 81) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

41% came from somewhere in Iowa and 59% from outside the state. $2,950.00 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.

$53,435.36 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 →

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 95% ($9,090.18)Other organizations 5% ($500.00)

Shares are of the $9,590.18 that donors gave this election (since 2025).

ZIP crosses the district line 22% ($2,115.43)Elsewhere in Iowa 13% ($1,287.41)Iowa, ZIP not mapped 2% ($200.00)Outside Iowa 62% ($5,987.34)

Between 0% and 22% of the $9,590.18 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 81) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

38% came from somewhere in Iowa and 62% from outside the state. $200.00 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 $13,438.98 raised in cash this election (since 2025), and $9,590.18 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-20, $3,848.80 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: $1,651.60 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.

Daniel Gosa $106/day

$6,451.00 over 61 days · latest report

Dillon Fillion $63/day

$3,848.80 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.
