Where they live · this election (since 2025)

In the district 9% ($1,650.00)ZIP crosses the district line 33% ($6,320.00)Elsewhere in Iowa 56% ($10,625.00)Iowa, ZIP not mapped 1% ($250.00)Outside Iowa <1% ($26.35)

Between 9% and 42% of the $18,871.35 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (House District 88) 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. $250.00 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 $19,556.35 raised in cash this election (since 2025), and $19,316.35 of that is listed donor-by-donor in the state's itemized feed (the publisher dates the feed 2026-07-14, posted 2026-09-05). The bars use the donor-by-donor part. · full record →

Not in the bars: $1,516.32 in donated goods and services this election (since 2025). The second bar also leaves out $445.00 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.

Helena Hayes $2.0/day

$120.00 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.
